Education US SUCCESSFUL $ Andrew A- Soule Thu department tru< theirfuily endeavor to jurntsn anp iniormation. Letters should be addressed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule, preetaent State Agricultural College, Athens, Ga~ DAIRY HERD RECORDS Can dairying be conducted along prof-1 itable and successful lines in Georgia ■* This is a pertinent question at the pres- I ent time for several reasons- First of i all, there will of necessity be a read-1 justment of our methods of farm prac tice when the boll weevil invades the state. Second, it has been shown that our soils may be made much more pro- ■ ductive where animal industries are de veloped and a sufficient quantity of yard ■ manure obtained to supply the needed humus and bacterial life to our soils. Third, the rapid Increase in population throughout the United States is daily making it more difficult for towns and cities to secure anything like an ade quate supply of dairy products. As a matter of fact, the prices of milk and butter have steadily increased for a number of years past, and the end is not yet in sight. If this be true, it would appear that the dairy field offers an op portunity to many men in Georgia who are availing themselves of this opening at the present time. It will be interesting, therefore, to recite jdst what has been done on the college farm In the past few years in building up a dairy herd to where it now make a substantial profit to the owner. The question of climate and soil and of our ability to produce a variety of , crops needed for the proper maintenance I of dairy cattle need not be discussed. These points ate conceded by all who have examined into the situation. Can j the farmer of small means and limited credit establish a dairy is a much moot ed question. In view of what has been accomplished at the college, this would appear quite feasible for the herd now owned has been built up chiefly through the purchase and selection of graded animals which were originally bought at from $35 to S4O apiece in the vicinity of the college or in the counties adjacent to Clarke. That this same practice may be followed successfully in developing a herd in most parts of Georgia is admit ted by men familiar with the live stock industry. It is said that “the proof of the pudding is in the eating.” As a matter of fact, quite a large number of dairymen with whom the college is cooperating in the organization and de velopment of their herds have followed the identical practice Indicated herein with success Some of these men have herds which have turned in a gross revenue of from $5,000 to SIO,OOO a year , and netted them a substantial profit The feasibility of starting a herd from grade cows obtained in the locality where the work is to be undertaken la thus established beyond the question of controversj-. Os course, it is impor tant that a pure bred sire of strong pre potency and fine lineage be purchased , and placed at the heed of the herd. This is the only item of considerable expense which the herd owner of ne cessity would have to meet. Suitable dairy barns may be erected at a reason able cost in Georgia where lumber la, relatively speaking, cheap. Plans and specifications may be secured from sev eral sources for the erection of barns well suited to our climate, and the work can be done with ordinary farm bands under the direction of a compe tent foreman or superintendent. A very modest barn will answer in the begin ning. though it is essential that it be sanitary and provided with concrete floors. There must also be an adequate water supply, but the large number of j spring found in many localities, or the , location of dairy farms in relation to the water supply of towns and cities is such that this can generally be secured without great difficulty or expense The college endeavors to maintain a herd of thirty milking cows at all times. Shis herd is kept as an object lesson to students and visitors to the college, and for the purpose of demonstrating to I the people of Georgia what can be ac cvfplished m this special line under good manta gement Os course, the herd has been maintained and improved in the last few years. For Instance, the state ment from June L 1911. to June 1, 1912, I shows that the herd produced $62.71 more miLc per monQi than ever before. This; was due to the elimination of the unde-! sirable foundation stock and its replace ment by heifers of superior merit. This, is one of the best illustrations of how • quickly a herd may be improved in char- > acter by careful breeding, feeding and > selection. Yet no processes have been I employed on the farm which can not be follow ed with ease and success by the i average dairyman. The fact that some I men under the direction of the college have accomplished results of equal mer it shows the practicability of the under- i taking where the business is organised I and conducted with the degree of intelli gence necessary' to insure success. The statement of the dairy herd for : the past year shows that S6.OW 44 was received from the sale of milk and but ter. The business is conducted on a cash basis, and therefore, there is no loss of money. The milk and butter are sold by tickets, a careful check on the sales' being kept in the college farm office. During the year the cows consumed 130. tons of silage which at $2.50 per ton,, cost $325: four tons of corn stover at I $4 per ton, sl6; five tons of straw at $4 a ton. S2O: three tons of peavine hay at sls. $45; 37 tons of cotton seed meal at $34. s94s; six months' pasturage for 30 cows at $1.50. $270. expenses of the de-. livery wagon. $350; tn cidentala including ice, bottles, baskets, etc.. $447.94. The | cost of the feed totals $1,324. Some may consider the prices given too low, but I they are certainly fair farm prices. ana when the cost of marketing is added | thereto will approxima te about the full value of the feed. It will thus be seen that the cost of feed per cow was a' little more than $44 a year. This splendid record could not have been made in view' of the large quantity of milk and but-! ter produced but for the fact that cot-■ ton seed meal was used as the sole con centrate and fumiitied protein In so great abundance and at «o low a cost. Note that the expenses for the milk. wagon and incidentals amount to $697.84; the expenditure for labor $1,360. . The profits exclusive of the value of the calves or the manure were $1,117.60. Sure- j ly this is a creditable showing, amount- i ing as it does to more than $60.58 per in dividual cow. The milk was sold at re tail at 40 cents a gallon and the but ter at 35 cents a pound. Os course, com paratively little butter was sold. Thewe figures demonstrate very clearly the profits which may be made out of the dairy business if rationally managed | when cotton seed meal and silage are made the basis of the ration. Surely, they should encourage many farmers in Georgia who have found cotton grow ing and other lines of farm practice un profitable to engage in this special line . of production for the market rules strong ’ •nd the supply Is Inadequate. There Is no section of the United States so favor- ; ed for the production of an admirable winter substitute for grass which silage constitutes and cotton seed meal stands at the head of the list of concentrates as | a cheap source of protein for the nour ishment of dairy Cows. The fact that this j herd has been maintained for several j years on a ration in which the con | centrates consist exclusively of cotton seed meal shows that it may be fed j without injury for long periods of time and that it is an elective producer of • milk. FOOD REMOVED BY VARIOUS CROPS. i S. B. 8., Byromville. Ga.. writes: Will you please tell me the amount of plant food removed by the following crops. Cotton, rye. cowpea hay. sugar cane and sweet potatoes? A bale of cotton including the lint, stalk, leaves, etc., will remove from the land 100 pounds of nitrogen, 60 pounds of potnsh and 40 pounds of phosphoric acid. If the stalks and leaves are re turned to the land, however, about one third of the nitrogen and potash are returned to the soil, the other two-thirds being removed in the lint and seed. The lint- only removes a very small per centage of plant food, less than a pound and a half of nitrogen, and not quite so much potash for a 500 pound bale. It would appear, therefore, that if cotton ' lands are well taken care of. and pro ' tected by cover crops in the winter that I they should maintain their fertility for long periods of time. As a matter of fact, the failure to rotate crops is | largely responsible for the difficulty ex perienced in increasing the yield of cot ton on many areas of land. Thirty bushels of rye with 4.250 pounds of straw remove from the land 51 pounds of nitrogen, 26 pounds of phosphoric acid and 45 pounds of potash. 150 bushels of potatoes will remove about 40 pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds of phosphoric acid and 75 pounds of potash. Thirty bushels of peas with the straw will remove 25 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 60 pounds of potash They should normally In crease the nitrogen supply of the soil rather tran deplete it. The amount of plant food removed by sugar cane varies widely, but in some tests made in Java it appears that 78,000 pounds of cane re moved from the land 75 pounds of nitro gen. 52 pounds of phosphoric acid and 171 pounds of potash. This of course was a very large yield, and you understand that these figures are approximate, but are about as reliable as can be secured | under existing conditions. . SAVING BARN YARD MANURE I. B. W., Rome, Ga., writes: What does your experience indicate as the best way to save barnyard and stable manure? I want to know if it is bet ter to have the manure heap under shelter or should it be out so the rain will fall on it? The best way of handling yard ma nure is to put it on the field and in corporate it with the surface soil as rapidly as possible after it is made. This, of course, is not practicable at all seasons of the year. Under these conditions it is advisable to preserve it in open sheds or stalls where it may be tramped and packed by the ani mals. One should be careful to use an abundance of litter, remembering that the larger per cent of nitrogen and potash is in the liquid part or the manure, and unless the urine be , absorbed and carefully preserved, the greater part of the fertilizing elements jof the manure may be lost. Where • one has not stable or stall room in which to keep and preseve the manure, a shedlike structure should be built on the outside of the barn. Scoop out the earth to a depth of 18 inches on some hard red clay knoll and pud dle it Then build a sloping roof over the top and set on posts which should be placed on a concrete foundation. As the manure is ftiade wheel it un der this shed and keep it well packed and tramped and moist. To let the manure heat is the worst possible ' thing which can happen to it When I thia takes place the nitrogen is ' changed into ammonia and is lost into ■ the air. The manure should be kept ' rather tightly packed should contain an abundance of absorbents, and should •be protected from rain and leaching. I since it contains so much soluble ’ plant food. On this account it is well 'to have a supply of water available ‘so it may be kept cool and moist, it . it shows evidences of heating. 1 REMOVING TICKS FROM CATTLE. N. E. H.. Pearson, Ga., writes: What is good for ticks on a cow; also for ; hollow tail? I have a cow that is ' never clear of ticks. She is poor and . her horns are cold. She will calve in | a few days. Where one has only a single cow the best method of flighting ticks is to pick them off by hand. This is not a very laborious undertaking, as the | animal has to be milked twice a day. and one can examinte the exterior of the body quickly and thoroughly and I remove the ticks. Then grease the i limbs, the tall and the rump with fresh : lard, crude Beaumont oil, or cotton I seed meal This makes it much more difficult for the ticks to get on the cow ; and attach themselves to "the body. ' There is no remedy which you can i give internally calculated to destroy the tick. The tick can be allied out in Georgia by keeping cattle off the in fested ranges for four and a half to six and a half months. You might I fence up part of your pasture, and I keep the cows off for six months, pick ing the ticks off every day. Then turn them on the other part and keep them I free from ticks and you will starve this pest out and be free of it for all time. Where one has a large nurifber jof cattle spraying may be resorted ' to, but we have made the best sugges ! tion for one situated as you are with only one cow to care for. No doubt the trouble you observe is due to the , presence of the tick on your cow, as these produce the fever and enervate the system, often resulting in dea when infestation becomes very marked, j There is no such thing as hollow horn lin cows. If your cow is given a little laxative food and bran mashes for a few days and keep free of ticks for chances are she will quickly reach her I normal condition. • • • MANGEL WURZELS FOR CATTLE AND HOGS. B. A. P-. Sparta. Ga.. writes: I have t seen the mangel wurzel recommended as a cheap and efficient feed for cows and ' hogs by northern and eastern papers. I but our southern journals give them little or no notice. Will they prove a , profitable crop in Georgia When should ' they be planted, and how should they be harvested? What is their feeding ; value compared with our feeds? The mangel is the most watery of all the root crops grown and on this ac count does not produce dry matter as THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOUKNAL. ATIAiNTA,. GA., EKWAY, AUGUST 23, 1912. WILSON'S WESTERN RUNS MINOiINCED COMPLETE Seven Members N. Y, Cam paign Committee Will Be Transferred to Chicago BY RALPH SMITH, SEAGIKT, N. J., Aug. 21.-—The de tails of the organization of the western Democratic headquarters which will be located in Chicago, were today made public by Governor Wilson. Seven mem bers of the campaign committee will be transferred from New York and will co-operate in an advisory capacity with National Secretary Davies in the man agement of the, Chicago offices with the approval of the governor. The following members of the com tnitee have been assigned to Chicago: Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Col. Rob ert Ewing of Louisiana, Congressman Albert 8. Burleson of Texas, Judge W. R. King of Oregon, Senator Reed of Missouri, and Charles R. Crane of Illi nois. WILSON'S STATEMENT. In making the announcement, Govern or Wilson said: “The arrangement proposed for Chi cago does not in any way interfere or cut across the authority of the national campaign committee as a whole. It merely transfers half of the committee to Chicago in order that they may con duct their work with special reference to the western country. The commit tee in charge is divided in space mere ly and not in authority." Under the arrangement perfected by Secretary Davies and approved by the governor, the heads of some of the de partments will be located in Chicago, while others will remain in New York. For instance. Senator Gore, in general charge of the organization work, and Congressman Burleson, in charge of the speakers’ bureau, will be in Chicago, but neither of them will yield any of their authority. They will continue to exer cise control of the work of their respec tive departments in New York. PLANS SET FORTH. Governor Wilson's announcement of the arrangements for Chicago, was con tained in copies of letters that have passed between himself and Secretary Davies. At ths request of the governor, Davies wrote to him a letter setting forth his plan for the organization of the Chicago-headquarters. Davies sug gested that the western campaign should be conducted in the same manner as the national campaign, under a general directorate. He asked that thp governor request members of the national cam paign committee to make Chicago the headquarters of their respective activi ties. WILSON'S LETTER. Governor Wilson sent the following letter to Secretary Davies, approving his plan: "I have received your letter, propos ing the plan by which to organize the work which is to center at Chicago, and take pleasure in saying that I approve of the suggestion entirely. It agrees perfectly with my desire to make Chi cago one of the chief centers of the work of the campaign committee.' BABY PARADE. The governor left Seagirt this after noon at 2 o’clock by auto for Asbury Park, where he reviewed a baby parade, in which about 500 little tots had been entered. The parade is an annual insti tution along the Jersey coast, and it has always been customary for the gov ernor of the state to attend. economically as the sugar beet. Be cause of their large yield, however, and the relative ease with which they are cultivated and harvested, they, are very popular in many sections of the north where dairying is extensively practiced. They are also probably better adapted for cultivation in a climate with a lower average temperature than that of Georgia. Extensive experiments have been made to determine the .feeding value of mangels and corn silage, for instance, and it has been shown that a pound of dry matter in one crop is about equivalent tn feeding value to a pound of dry matter In another crop, but silage can be made to produce a much larger quantity of dry matter per acre, and at a lower cost than the mangels. On this account where green feed is desired for live stock in the south, the use of the silo has generally been found to be more economical than the growing of roots. loots require to be stored in the winter time and protected from freezing, and this calls for the establishment of large, cool cellars which will nox permit of a high enough rise in temperature to cause them to decay. Silage can be stored in a much smaller space relative ly speaking than the roots, and judg ing from the experience we have had with both of these foods, we would be disposed to favor the silo proposi tion for southern farmers. Os course, if one desires to grow only a few roots to give variety to the ration, and sot use during the fall and winter, thv mangel would prove an acceptable crop to cultivate. They should be planted in drills three to three and a half feet apart, and cultivated rapidly. They require liberal fertilization, and do best on loamy soils through which the roots may readily penetrate. They should be sown about the same time one would plant harden beets. Sow rather thickly in the drill and thin out to about 12 inches. • • • MIXING GRAIN RATIONS FOR HORSES. A correspondent, Elberton, Ga., writes: How much cotton seed meal and oats should I add to 100 bushels of chopped corn, cob and shuck to be used in feed ing work mules? How long should it keep, and is there any danger of it spoiling? What would be a reasonable toll for grinding corn? Corn, cob and shuck all ground togeth er would probably weigh at the rate of 80 pounds to the bushel. You would probably have something like 8,000 pounds of this material on hand. For eax:h 800 pounds add 100 pounds of choice high grade cotton seed meal, making the whole weigh about 9,000 pounds. The I addition of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of oats will further improve this mixture for horses and mules. In fact, It will be much better to add the cotton seed meal and oats to this mixture rather than to feed corn, cob and shuck by itself. Corn, as you know, is a one-sided foodstuff, and contains too much fattening mate rial in proportion to that serviceable in building up the muscles, nerves and tis sues of the animal body. There will be no danger in feeding from 12 to 16 pounds of this mixture to a 1,000 pound mule doing hard work. You should give in addition 12 to 15 pounds of clean, bright hay. Be sure this hay is free from mold. It is also important that the 'corn, cob «nd shuck was clean and bright and free from mold before it was ground. If it was not it is not safe to feed to horses and mules. If the mixture is dry when prepared and kept so, there is no reason why it should not keep for a rea sonable length of time. A fair toll for grinding corn, cob and shuck would be about one-eighth o£ the trial. Corn Bread Makes Georgians Healthy To the.fact that so much corn bread is eaten in the southern states, Surgeon Allan Stuart, U. 8. N., attributes the general good health of Georgia boys, a greater percentage of whom, he says, pass the required naval physical ex amination here than in any other sec tion. Dr. Stuart declares that the exercise given the teeth by eating corn bread makes them strong and healthy, and healthy teeth, he says, result in a healthy body. Dr. Stuart declares that the majority of the applicants, who are turned down, fall to pass because they are under weight or have flat feet LAGRANGE MERCHANTS SEND OUT TRADE TOUR (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) LAGRANGE, Ga., Aug. 20.—With fif teen automobiles in line the Merchants' Trade Tour of LaGrange, under the au spices of the chamber of commerce, left court house square at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning for an eighty-mile trip over the northern route, so designated by the committee, which included the towns of Abbottsford. Standing Rock, Glenn, Tex as, Franklin, Corinth, Hogansville, Lou ise and back to LaGrange. The party consisted of about forty business men of LaGrange, namely, J. L. Bradfield, E. B. Clark, H. D. Glanton, E. T. Fincher, Maurice Goldstein, Clifford Hunter, Ely R. Callaway. Pope F. Callaway, D. E. Leman, N. B. Dozier, S. H. Dunson, S. W. Thornton, Duncan Burks, J. H. Edmondson, C. H. Griffin. Lamar McCaine, J. A. Perry, J. D. Faver. C. H. Johnson. J. G. Truitt. C. V. Truitt, W. P. Burks, W. F. Hoile, L. C. Busch W. A. Reeves. J. E. Dunson, C. N. Pike, George Hanson, J. Delancey, R ,O. Pharr, Abner Arnold, C. A. Parker, G. T. Fitzer and others representing the business in terests of LaGrange. Features of the trip were the big din ner given the entire party at noon at Franklin, the capital of Heard county, by the citizens of that town, and the barbecue given the party in the late afternoon by the citizens of Hogansville. Tuesday was the first day of the big tour. The party will again start out on Thursday for the southern tour, which will cover about sixty miles of travel through Troup, Harris and Meriwether counties. Troup Chambers county Ala. and Heard county were covered on the first day. SOUTHERN RAILWAY TO EXPLOIT THE SOUTH The advantages and opportunities which the southeastern states offer to industrious homeseekers will be strik ingly displayed during the next few months at fairs and expositions tn lowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and New York, which, last year, had an aggregate attendance of over 2,000,000 people and at the great annual Canadian exposition at Toronto, run ning over two weeks with an average daily attendance above 100,000, by ex hibits which will be made by the South ern railway system. Exhibits will be made at more than 25 fairs in the states named, each one of which has been selected with a view to its character, attendance and probable Interest in locations in the southeast on the part of the people attending. Four sets of exhibits have been pre pared. Each set will be shown at from six to nine different fairs, covering a wide stretch of country. A special ex hibit will be sent to the Toronto ex position. The exhibits will consist of fresh fruits, cotton, tobkcco, potatoes and truck crops and colored pictures show ing farm and orchard scenes will be dis played. Representatives of the land and industrial department of the Southern system will be with each exhibit. At tractive literature giving full informa tion about the southeast has been pre pared especially for these fairs and a set of fine southern views will be dis tributed as souvenirs. WITH PAPER FOR $336,800, ASKS FOR sl6 WAGES (Special Dispatch to The Journo’ ' SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 20.—Although he possessed certificates which are ne gotiable, for $366,800, M. Wittee, the carpenter who was recently notified that he had won a capital prize at lottery on a ticket purchased in France, returned to the contractor’s office of the Savannah hotel to obtain sl6 wages due. When Wittee received the notice several days ago he immediately quit work. There was sl6 wages due him. He did not bother about taking the amount then, but after the first excitement of being possessed of such a fortune passed off, he wanted the hard-earned money. Wittee has worked as a laborer in all parts of the world during his life, and the possession of such a fortune was beyond his expectations. He is one man who cannot decide what to do with his small fortune. He is be coming tired of being idle, he says and has expressed the opinion of returning to work if he can find some employ ment at light work. He is still in Sa vannah but expects to go to New York.

CHIMED MILL OWNERS SHE BACKING JONES Governor Blease Claims Ef fort is Being Made to Hrut Race by Changing Ticket, — i (BY STAFF CORRESFONDEITT.) WALHALLA. S. C.. Aug. 21.—Good order prevailed in the crowd at the campaign meeting here today, the crowd representative of Carolina’s stur dy country folk, of her cotton mill pop ulace and of dwellers in the deep moun tain reaches of the state, the big hills along the line and besides the orderly crowd there was respectful be havior on the part of the candidates. Though Judge Jones today did not men tion the name or assail the administra tion of Governor Cole L. Blease, an oft repeated feature of his campaign speeches, and one in line With his decla ration that he only assails the governor on his pure record, the governor made the statement that Judge Jones is con ducting “the dirtiest, nastiest, filthiest campaign that a white man had made in this state since the days of Daniel H. Chamberlain.” Governor Blease further charged that Judge Jones, n a speeph at Westmin ster yesterday “took me for his text,” whreas he, in s speech in the same town, had not mentioned Judge Jones' name. "I did not call his name,” spoke up Judge Jones from his chair in the rear of the stage. Judge Jones' speech dealt with his regular platform and he was well re ceived by the Oconee citizens. The town of Seneca, in the same county, was well represented at the meeting, and the Seneca band furnished cam paign music. Governor Blease today again charged that corporations are backing Judge Jones, saying that the fact that Lewis W. Parker, president of mill merger, had made speeches to his employes at Union, Seneca and Walhalla proved his charge that Judge Jones is the corpora tion candidate. "If Jones is not the corporation candidate,” said the gov ernor, "why is the mill merger presi dent asking his mill employes to vote for him?” The governor said Parker had told his employes that they would not lose pay for the time they were taking from work to him him (Parker) speak. He also said that the mill merker is ‘ noth ing but a trust intended to control the price of cotton.” Governor Blease has frequently charged that his opponents are planning to count him out at next Tuesday's primary, and this charge went a step further today when he said that Jones men had been putting their names on two club rolls. He also said he had received two tel egrams, one of which,- from Dillon, he read in part, to the effect that Blease men had gone to the club secretary and registered and that the secretary, who is a Jones man, had lost the club roll. jThe governor urged his friends to coms early to the polls next Tuesday and stay late and “not let them steal the tickets.” Local color was given to the meet ing here byGovernor Blease's reference to the pardon of Earle Rochester, con victed of murder, and to the vote of ex-Representative S, A. Zimmerman tn separate coach bill. | The governor stated that he had been asked by Mr. Zimmerman, who could be at the meeting, to correct the state ment that he had voterd in 1801 as had Judge Jones on this occasion. He said Zimmerman had voted differently from Judge Jones that year. “That shows that Zimmerman is a white man's man, and not in favor of social equality,” said the governor. From his seat Judge Jones said: "He’s talking about 1891. I was talk ing about 1890.” Judge Jones had said that Zimmer separate coach law. The governor said he had pardoned Earle Rochester at the request of late Judge C. G. Dantzler, who had sat on the case, on the petition of all the ju rors and certain county officials and at the request of Congressman Wyatt Aiken. A thousand people heard the Blease- Jones debate. The governor took his hand primary, and less than half those present voted for Blease. GEORGIA PRISONS NOT SO BARBARIC, SAYS YANCEY The charge of Dr. Frank H. Loveland, of Topeka, Kan., a prison expert, that the prison at Jefferson, Mo., is “the most barbaric in the country with the possible exception of those of Nebraska and Georgia,” has drawn a warm an-' swer from Goodloe Yancey, secretary of the prison board of Georgia. “It is absolutely untrue,” says Secre tary Yancey. All abuses stopped with the abolition of the lease system several years ago, says he. Georgia’s convicts are well treated, says and the J’ are fed better than in any other state.

SAVANNAH IS SECOND LARGEST_COTTON PORT (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) SAVANNAH. Ga.. Aug. 21. —While Savannah will not receive two and a half million bales of* cotton for the sea son of 1911-12, which closes in a few days, It has safely established itself as the second largest cotton port of the world. During the latter part of the seasen when Savannah's receipts ex ceded the two million mark it was con fidently expected by the cotton men that the total receipts for the year would be two and a half million bales. The reason that this mark was not reached, however, it is not due to the lack of facilities for handling and stor ing the staple here, or any lack of cbt ton in the interior. The trouble seems to have arisen over the alleged unjust penalization of American cotton in Bremen. Instead of the cotton being in port ready for shipment or on the oth er side of the Atlantic It is stored in the interior warehouses, the cotton men say. Savannah's receipts for the sea son compared with those ot a year ago show a decided gain however. Last year the receipts at this time were 1,432,612 bales. This year the receipts to date are 2,385,049. SMALL CIVIL WAR ON ROCKEFELLER’S ESTATE CBy Arsvcisted Pre«a.) TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 20.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is back at the Rockefel ler home at Pocantico Hills to take up the trouble which ha» recently threaten ed between employes of the estate and a squad of discharged Italian workmen. Special deputies from the sheriff's office are still on guard at the estate, be cause of the threats made against the superintendent, Fred Briggs and one of his foremen. Mr. Rockefeller plans to arrange for a permanent police force for Pocantico Hills, and it is at his request that the deputy sheriffs remain on guard.
