TO the papal throne in st. Peters ba-
silica and assumption Of the triple
crown was accompanied by all the
stately ceremony that has grown up
about the crowning Of II pope through
the centuries of the Catholic church's
history.
Since the new pope is an acknowl-
edged liberal and one Of the group
that supported the policies of Benedict
Nv looking toward II reconciliation he
tween the church and the Italian gov
ernment, ii may be that resumption of
relations will come during his reign.
This, though not especially desired by
other European governments, is
strongly favored by many prominent
Italian Catholics. They believe the
church would greatly benefit because
the pope would be free to visit other
countries. Americans in Rome hope
that Plus NJ may even come to this
country, the first pope ever to visit the
new world.
Cardinal O'COnnell was decidedly
veXed because the choice of pope
was made by the sacred college before
he and the other American cardinals
could reach Rome, and there is talk
of changing the papal constitution so
that this cannot happen in the future.
The incident may also be responsible
for the report that two more American
cardinals are to be created soon. The
archbishops mentioned in this connec-
tion are Mundelein of Chicago and
Hayes of New York.

Republican members Of the house ways
and means committee spent lot of
time last week discussing how this
was to be obtained. President Har-
ding made 1t clear to the leaders that
the bill must include provision for
the raising of the necessary revenue,
and that it must not be too oppressive
on the public; he agreed with Secre-
tary Mellon that bonus based on for
eign bonds is out Of the question. Like
wise, the plan OF raising money by any
form of general sales TAX Is going into
the discard, for "a majority of the Re-
publicans evidently are opposed to 1t.
Consequently the majority members of
the committee have agreed that vari-
Gus miscellaneous taxes shall be Inn

what these shall be. Chairman Ford

of the senate. Acceptance OF the offer
was urged by Senator Underwood of

was predicted the committee would
recommend it. But in the house mill

retary of War Weeks was called there
as witness and his testimony must
have been rather saddening to the au-

That Ford will pay $5OO0,OO0 for
that portion of the Muscle Shoals
project which has already cost the
government $1O6,OO0,0OO.
That the government, TO complete
the project, must spend $40,SO0,0O0 TO

That the government can realize be-
tween $S,000.O00 and $16,0OO,OW salv-

to buy for $5,000,00O.
That the government can realize
more for the Warrior river plant and

willing to pay for the entire Muscle

In reply to direct question as to
what he would do with the offer il he
were member of congress, the sec

EMAR" broke out in Ireland
w again last week, this time be-
tween the Irish themselves and along
the Ulster border. Presumably be-
cause they had not learned that three
political prisoners sentenced to death
at Derry had been reprieved, raiders
who were identified with the army of
the Irish republic invaded Ulster and
carried off scores of prisoners, doing
also >lot of shooting. few of the
captured men were released mt once,
but the others were held, supposedly
as hostages. Naturally, the northern
counties at once blazed with indigna-
tion and thousands Of armed men
swarmed to the border and formed a
line of steel there.
OF course the provisional govern
ment of the Irish Free State was not
responsible for the kidnapings, nor
could il prevent them. 1t was be-
lieved by some that the attacks were
planned largely to embarrass Michael
Collins and his colleagues.
Owen ODuffy. chief of staff of the
Irish republican army, issued this
statement:
THAT there should be spontaneous
and determined action in Ulster Is not
surprising. The patience of our peo-
pie there has been sorely tried lately
by continued raids, arrests and tor
lures inflicted upon them by agents Of
the northern government.
"The majority of those in prison in
Belfast and Derry are suffering be.
cause they carried out my orders
while / was liaison officer, to protect
the lives and property of Catholic
civilians from the ravages of Orange
mobs when those who are intrusted
with law and order refuse to give pro-
lection
Ulster and the Free State are still
disputing over the settlement of the
boundaries of Ulster, and there Is
some talk by British officials of calling
on General Smuts to mediate.

TALKS TO FARMERS.
MANUREs AND FERTILIZERS.

| MANURES AND FERTILIZERS.
! 1t has been said that the "soil is the
farmers capital" This being true
the farmer should leave nothing un.
done that is in his power to do to make
his soil productive.
The growing of crops depletes the
plant food in the soil, and if nothing
| is done to restore it, the soil will in
time cease to produce profitable
crops. There are three methods avail.
able for the restoration of fertility tc
depleted soils. /. Growing crops tc
turn under. 2. Barnyard manure
Commercial fertilizers.
We cannot grow crops to increase
the phosphate or phosphoric acid in
the soil, but we can increase the nitro.
gin and humus. Barnyard manure is
worth more for the units of plant food
because of the humus and bacteria
provided, while the potach and phos-
phate we must depend Largely on COM
mercial fertilizers.
Subsoiling at the right time will in
crease the available supply of these
elements of plant food in the soil.
If farmers could be made to appre-
Iciate the value of barnyard manure,
they would not allow it to go to waste
or allow it to lose so much of its value
before spreading it on the soil. Very
few farmers take proper care of ma
nure produced on their farms. This
is an inexcusable loss. Manure cannot
be produced on the farm without live
stock and the farm without live stock
will not appeal to anyone who has any
practical knowledge of farming in
Tennessee.
Where all the conditions favor the
production of livestock, and where we
are at a disadvantage in trying to
compete with the grain farmers of the
Middle West, the farmers of Tennes-
see should give more attention.
Another question with some farm
ers is whether the manure or fertilizer
should be used in the hills or drills or
Dt biOauSdot
manures always, also fertilizers, for
corn, sorghum and like crops. In
seeding wheat or grasses, use the
fertilizers in the drills. The reason !
broadcast the manure and fertilizers
for corn is because / want it where
the feeder roots can reach it when
they need it most. The feeder roots
of corn are the little hairy roots that
make network from row to row. IL
the manure was in a drill where the
stalks are growing the root exposed
to the fertilizer has become woody
and cannot absorb the plant food.
With the intelligent use of barn.
yard manures, legumes, as cover
crops, and judicious use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, we can grow profita-
BILE crops and improve the fertility Of
our soils each year. The difference in
labor on an acre cultivated to get the
best results and on an acre cultivated
the way it is ordinarily done is insig-
nificant, while the yiled can be in
creased largely.

RELIGIOUS STATISTICS IN U. S. A,

An average of 2,173 persons has
joined the various churches in the
United States during the last five
years, and an average Of three con-
gregations has been organized daily,
according to figures compiled by the
Washington Secretary of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America.
The total church membership is CIV
en- at 45,997, 1899 for the year 1921, an
increase Of more than four millio'
over the Census bureau figures ~
1916, and an increase of more THAI
million over 1920.
According to the same authority, an
average Of Az persons has joined the
ministry daily during the five-year
period, the total engaged in this call
ing being given at 100000, with con-
gregations to the number Of 233,104.
The compiler notes that for the
first time the combined Baptist men,
bership exceeds the combined Meth
odist membership, the former being
given as 7,835,250 and the later
7,797,991.
Religious constituencies are esti-
mated to be: Protestant, 74,795,226;
Roman Catholic, 17,SS5,646; Jews, L.
100000; Eastern Orthodox Greek
and Russian, 411,054; Latter Day
Saints (Mormans), 1,646,170.

DDS in reporting. The Catholic church
counts all who have been baptized,

registered the largest gain of any sin
gle communion. The Northern Bap-
fists show a membership of 1885,
S7S, an increase of only 2,173, but
this slight gainsis explained by the
fact that the Missouri Conference,
heretofore affiliated with the North
ern branch of the church, has trans
ferred its alignment to the Southern
branch, which brought to the latter

increase of 177,756 in colored Bap-
