in the lirst instance, alt hough it
may he said that in nearly all ca-
ses diplomas should be awarded
by or on the recommendation ol
the faculty, who of course know
bet ter t hail any one el whet In u
or not they should be awarded,
and whose decision ought there¬
fore to he respected. We in have saying no
hesitation, however,
that the action of the trustees was
unfortunnle in its results because,
I It established a bad jH'ei •i ( lent.
Pupils who fail to revive < 1 i|> 1 <>-
mas are very frequently of flu-
opinion that they ought to havi
received them. They regard tin
jnatter from a j mal and
sided |ioint .,ot view, and sometiim
work themselves up to a pitch ol
morhed i-xciteim-nt over an innig-
iuury grievance, which, however,
nursed by them selves and accep¬
ted by tlu-ir relatives, becomes
very real to them. In tlm futun
tlu-young lady with such it griev¬
ance will feel encouraged to ap¬
peal from die faculty to the tru,--
tees, and a good deal ot Is-tter-
ness and dissatisfaction may lw
a roused.
2 Contidi-nee in the integrity ot
the diplomas may be impaired or
destroyed, because it "ill not bi
known whether or not they wen
justly bestowed, and the young lit
dy who wins a diploma through
real merit may lie deprived of the
value belonging to it becau St * ■ !
may not be easy for the public
distinguish between those award-
tied for merit and those given fot
policy or secured through iu/lu-
"lice. In this wav a very s.i-riou.-
injustice may be done to a score theii
diplomas of graduates, who expected
to aid them in securing
work'
*5. It deals a blow to school dis¬
cipline. If a school 1ms certain
rules governing the award of di-
plomns those ruli •s s hould be tirm-
iv and impartially enforced, find
if the faculty is ignored by t h.
trustees pupils will not only l>c
likely I-- ignore tin- rules as to di-
ploma to a greater ->r less i-xtcnt,
but also ignore in the same mens-
lire »piy other rule; and in
way the authority of the teachers i
iiiuv be seriously weakened. I

It IS rather a common thing to
hear advocates < f the PolUilistic i U1

conditional coinage ol silver at Pi ,
to I charge the present

with the responsibility tor the re-
cent money panic, but such a

is recalled that when Mr.
land’s first term ended the eotin-

dition, atid that during (lie
coed ing Republican regime there
was a systematic attempt to leave
as a legacy to the next Deinoeiat-
ie administration a very demoral-
ized condition of ii nances, brought
on hy reckless public extravagance
and premeditatedlv vicious legis¬

responsibility on the part of the

FltUIT.
Tho prospect tiiroughoat the state is
still very good for a lino fruit crop,
with the exception of peart. The blight
bai attacked nearly all tho poar or-
chards la tan lower part of the state,
and to some extent in middle Georgia.
The off. ets have been very serious, and
tiuiess tho disease cun be checked tlu
pear industry is doomed to destruction.
Some blight on the apple trees also in
the same section, but not so soriom as
with the pears. Some “yellows” of tho on
the peach trees in all section
state, but not mauy trees affected as
yet.
Question 4—I have been using in
my compost about 350 pounds of pea
meal. Does it supply any ammonia?
Could it be supplied by acid, seed or
common salt? If mixed with green seed,
acid or kainit, would it prevent tho
seed from coming up?
Answkh 4.—Pea j meal supplies all
three of the essential elements of plant
food, potash, phosphoric acid and ui- .
trogen or ammonia; but its uso as a
fertilizer is too expensive. You can
supply these elements in much cheaper
form. Aoid phosphate doos not supply
ammonia, but phosphoric acid. Com¬
mon salt would only have a mechanical
effect and odd nothing in plant food.
By the use of kainit, you supply a su«
licient quantity of potash. The cotton-,
seed is your source of ammonia mi i
additional quantity would incre!
element. If from lack of vigor iu tho I
plants under which you have used yawt-K
compost, it is apparent that a very largo
amount of ammonia is demanded, in
order not to reduce the other material
too much you might add dried blood or
cottonseed meal, as they supply am¬
monia in a more concentrated form tlna
the cottonseed. A compost ma le of cot-
tousead, stable manure, acid phosphate fork¬
and kaiair, properly cut down and
ed over, would prevent any danger of
germination. Iu composting care should
bo taken that the ammonia by heating
is not allowed to escape. A series of
experiments couductcd at the state sta¬
tion shows that mixing in the furrow
gives as good results as composting ,
If I had the pea moat, I would most
certainly use it for manure, as it cou-'
tainsmithyjjW,,^ eiements of plant
^ud'e form. I°Voidd*f^ it to my
liorses, cows, pigs, etc.; let them work
it up into laud. tjie right coudition to apply
