In fertilizing your cotton and corn, care shown; Hecken to apply at
least 600 pounds of high gracie fish, blood and VlM? fertilizer to the
acre for the best and most lasting results. Wh$r?;iless than 6pp
pounds of fertilizer is used to thc acre, it acts as a stimulant only, and
the crop lukes more plant food'from the soil than'rt* Furnishes, and
your soii runs dov^v, hui/where you Ai^e, pop^.poup^^more of tine

Washington, April 8. - Senau.

dressed tihe senate Thursday in Sup

legal right of the United Staten to ex

coastwise, but declared that a decent
respect to the "opinions of mankind,
and that the distrust, and in some
cases, dislike, with which the United
States is regarded abroad, demanded

of the canal act i
"Whether we shall Insist on giving
to our ships two or three million dol
lars In a disputed way, ls; in my opin
ion, a very small question compared
to the larger issues which are here In
volved," said the 8enator. "When tba
year 1909 opened, the, United States
occupied ? higher and stronger po
sition among the nations of the earth
than at any period in Our history.
. Never before bad we possessed such
|,an influence In International affairs
and that Influence had .been" used ben

shadow of suspicion which, owing to
our dominant and at times domineer
ing power had darkened and chilled
our relations with the people of Latin
America had at last been lifted.
"Tltis great position, and this conv
manding innuenco have been largely

"I supposq that at this moment in !

inf pening lils address Senator
Lodge rehearsed the history of th*
canal negotiations previous to "tho
blunder of.the Clayteo-Bulwer. treaty"
which be said had committed the Unit
ed states to obligations {?regnant with
future trouble. ?" He told of,tho Various
steps by which thc ?iay-Pauncefnte
treaty had been, reached and of tho lat
er adoption of the exemption clause m
the regulations.
"I'asa of opini?n," he e?id, "that un
dir thfc term, nf the treety wu have *
legal right to exempt oar own 7es?eln

in. Irt my view,, if wo admit that we
havel not.the legal right, to exempt
frontalis vessels engegod In for?l:;n

refuse'to collect tolls, frota'Venells nf
the twited Stoles engaged lb any
tradeVi 1 think, however, that pc have
the legal right to exempt or refuse to
ertlich tolls from all vessels di ?he
United1 States."
After.reciting bia own connection

Lodge Continued :
"I took tho view then thni HHHA, ?;.
