Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, hea< of Columbia University, is ^n able maa, a very good speaker and his views are Interesting—but—as political prophet he is “not so good”-— the country at Urge seems agreed. Dr. Butler’s Riverside speech where in he positively stated that President Cool id ge wood not be a candidate for term; that only a wet can be and that the “third term factor was against the' President brought forth adverse opinions from all over the natkm in the press and nafws comment, also bpen ridicule from Republican leaders, particularly in regard to the third term issue. Senator Bomb's quick acceptance toe Butler challenge on the necessity of the Republican party facing the guns on prohibition was only a side light. In an open letter to Mr. Butler, he said: “I agree with you perfectly that we should hot dodge this issue. 1 jhaU contribute in avery way 1 can to force the issue to a Anal conclus ion in the next convention.” If Borah does this, well and good.

Although fixed up in con fierence before being passed by the Home, there are still Jokers galore in it. It has been held up by the Senate because of its failure to formerly vest ownership of the air or ether above the United States in the National gov eminent. This is weR. It sboulii be held up forever unless that provision is specifically included, and this too, despite all arguments to the contrary. Here is the reason. The first step in a deliberate attempt to rob the American public of the rights of the freedom of the air has seemingly been made. Such legislation as allowed by the original bill would have made pos sible a corporation that would have taken at least five hundred millions of dollars a year from the people. The original bill allowed, or would have allowed, the RADIO TRUST to impose a service charge up on every person who has a radio or who listens in. There would have been a device (already available) Milch eliminated all from listening in, Mlesc the charge was paid. Tfcert are estimated to be 10,000,000 radio sets in the United States. At a charge of $1 weekly, per set—the trust would have founded a very profitable busi nws—and growing daily. If you think the air above you is part yours—then write to your Con gressman and Senator and tell them so—today. Spriagfeld Locals.

This course was con ducted for two weeks by the Sears- Roebuck Agricultural Foundation In co-operation with the Soil Improve ment Committee of the National Fer tiliser Association. "Every fanner can learn In a gen eral way something about the deficien cies of his soils,” said Mr. Hamilton. When his crops do not make suffldeut stalk growth, and the plants have • yellowish cast, he may know the crape have not had enough ammonia. If the crops are not fruiting as they should, and if they are slow in maturing, this is evidence they need more phosphoric add. “Fortunately, for the southeast, thare art great areas that show sim ilar responses to fertilisers, so It la unnecessary to recommend a different fertiliser for every slight variation in the splla. Carefully conducted tests on various toils afford the only, safe Information on bow to feed Crops profitably. RecommenJatioDs can be made that are broadly applicable to the coastal plain, the Piedmont soils, mountain lands or IlmsstoM valleys. Intelligent fertilisation la accessary to produce large yields and the quality of crops that will bring the greatest re turns to the fanner. To accomplish this -the fanner must rely largely on the recommendations of the eg qe and agricultural legea.

These crops are cotton, corn, small grains and hay. It la upon the successful production of them four crops that the agricultural pros perity of the southeast depends. All other crops are of minor Importance, although certain restricted areas one or more of them may be of great Im portance.” This was the message carried to the farmers of the southeast by R. P. Bledsoe, agron omist, Georgia Ex periment Station, in a talk for the Radio Short Course over WSB, the Atlanta Jour nal station, a two weeks’ broadcast make possible through the Searo- Roebuek Agricul- turial Foundation la co-operation with the National FertlUsar Associa tion. “A study of toe latest statistics tor 18*6 shows the average Georgia fferut sr lost from eleveo to twelve del lan on sack sou of cotton or com and from on# to two dollars on each acre of sate or hey,” said Mr. Bladsoa. "Either the cert per acre mart be low ered without dorrooelng yields or Prices mart to increased, or yields per sere most he taciuasod without un duly increasing the curt per acre. “As'to-eotl improvement, no rota tion srill fit the aaads at every farm bat the following will give the. e bests on which to work: First year—cotton, followed by vetch plowed under for green manure; sec ond yenr—oeta, followed by vetch to be plowed under. This rotation would have a winter cove.' crop on the land every year to prevent washing. There weald be three legume crops to supply nitrogen and two groan manure to furnish organic matter. To this system a success the farmer fertilise liberally. The main dlOculty with this rotation is that two-thirds of the land mart be plowed In the spring. Fanners with tractors gen erally do this, but those without bad better plant only one-balf of their cotton and oat land to vetch, and In this way derrenas their spring plow ing.

Another change which will lessee spring plowing is to add another jeer at oeta and le gume hay." / Hero is toe moot recent ’Wadi* ington photo of Wm.

The State Cotton Growing Contest Arrangements have been made to carry on the five acre cotton growing contest in the State again this year: 1st prise, $1,000.00; 2nd prise. $600.oo; 3rd prise, $300.00; 4th, 5th and 6th prises, $100.00 each. Application blanks are now in the county agent’s office and a* many as are interested will file an application to once, in order that everyone who cares to may compete for these prises as well as secure high quality, pure seed which will produce one inch staple or better. The county agent would like to herve many farmers Join this con* test this year. Demonstrations arc going to be car ried on again, compering the use of Sulphate of Ammonia and Nitrate of Soda as a top dresser on cucumbers, watermelons, core, cotton and grain. Only a few of these demonstrations will be carried on and the sulphate of ammonia win be furnished free, the farmers to keep a record of the work done and furnish accurate results of The Problem Solved.
