? By HARRY B. HUNT
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.—That
rambunctious Rcpubli; an.-, rejoic
ing over th" ’■•’ tv majority in ‘he
recent election, may be “feeling
their oats” a bit too much is sug
gested by Senator Arthur Canpcr
of Kansas, himself a Republican
who carried Kan-.is by the largest
ever given a candidate west of the
Mississippi river.
“The result of the election,”
says Capper, “was a repudiation of
destructive and radical proposals.
But it was not a mandate to sweep
liberalism out of the Republican
party.
“A swelled head is as dangerous
in a political party as it is in an
individual. It would be deplorable
if the Republican party should let
its recent victory ‘go to its head D ”
Capper's warning came the day
after the Republican caucus had
voted to throw La Follette, Ladd,
Frazier and Brookhart Sut of the
party .and to withhold from them
any future com,‘.nittce assign
ments.
And it forcast the probable op
position to such disciplining of oth
er liberals within the party, such
as Norris, Howell, Borah, Couzens,
K'iram Johnson anti perhaps Har
rold. '

whether in this congress or the
next, this group, unless conserva
tive Democrats broke over to the
support of the old guard Repub
licans, would be sufficient to over
ride the dictates of the G. O. P.
doctrinaries.
* * *
Capper sees, what the old guard
in the Senate does not recognize,
that the recent election was more
of a Coolidge endorsement than a
Rep’ib ican endorsement.
He holds that this is particular
ly true of the result in the West,
which cinched the election for the
G. .0. P. The West, Capper main
tains, did not turn reactionary or
even conservative. If it had. h?
himself would have been defeated.
“It chose,” Capper says, “a
course between ultra-radicalim
and hard-boiled conservatism. It
remains still steadfast in support of
reasonable, moderate, sane and
safe progressiveism.”
And then he sounds a warning
that, at this time, comes as a jar
ring note on the ears of the cool -
sure and jubilant old guard group:
“The west,” he warns, “can get
along without the Republican par
ty, but the Republican party can
not get ;.long without the west?’
A backstop for the famous Cool
idge luck is an odd necklace worn
of late by Mrs. Coolidge. Pendant
from, the necklace are seven skill
fully carved ivory-elephants.
The superstitiously inclined say
i that more than mere coincidence is
behind the fact that she wore the
necklace at the final game of the
world series, which Washington
won, and on election day when
I Cal’s plurality broke all records.

Shortly before the illness and
operation which caused his death,
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace completed the writing of
his memoirs.
Official Washington is wonder
ing just how much of the details of
the battle that raged inside the
Harding cabinet between Wallace
and some of his fellow cabinet
members will be disclosed.
One of the bitterest contests in
any recent cabinet raged between
Wallace and former Secretary of
Inferior Fall. Fall was fighting
for the transfer, to his department,
of the nation’s immense forest re
serves.
Wallace’s own story of the in
side maneuverings in that battle
would be especially illuminating.
Scarcely second in interest to
this would be the inside story ofi
the contest betwene himself and
Secretary Hoover over the Bureau
of Markets which Hoover wanted
to take over.
Wallacifs outspoken champion
ship of means and measures ( not
sponsored by his administration
fellows provoked many "of the
warmest cabinet meetings of re
cent years.
LAST SURVIVOR OF
LIGHT BRIGADE DIES
CEDA RRAPIDS. Mich., Dec. 8.
Ellis H. Cutting, believed to have
been the last survivor of the Light
Brigade on its charge at the Bat
tle of Balaklava during the Crim
ean war, died here Sunday after
being stricken with a paralytic
stroke, the second during the past
month. He was 87 years old.
Mr. Cutting joined the British
army when he was 16 years old
and took part in many campaigns.
He often told the story of how he
was standing close to Lord Raglan
when the order was issued that sent
Light Brigade into the “Valley of
Death.” Occasionally he intimat
ed he possessed information which
might clear up a disputed point
in history regarding the fatal or
der. but never made it public.
After many years as a railroad
engineer, Mr. Cutting was auto
matically retired and lived with his
two daughters.

SOUTH ms LEARHED
TO DIVERSIFY CROPS
Only One-Fourth of Farming
Area Is Now Devoted to
Raising Fleecy Staple
ATLANTA, Dec. B.—The South
no longer crowns Cotton. The
estimated area of all farm crops in
the South, according to late figures
received at the Georgia Department
of Agriculture, is in the neighbor
hood of 130,250,006 Acres which is
over 35 per cent of t'.e total crop
area of the United States. Out of
this acreage only about one-fourth
of the farming area in the South is
devoted to cotton.
Listen to this:
The South produces about one
third of the corn crop of the Uni
ted’ States and the acreage in corn
in 1922 was 11,500,000 more than
was planted in cotton. The total
area in the South of three principal
grain crops, corn, wheat and oats is
approximately 63,250,300 a ires,
compared with 65,000.0000 in cot
ton.
In addition to the staple farm
crops, the South annually produces
for shipment to the North and
in addition to what it retains for
local consumption, about 509.000
carloads of winter and spring vege
tables, berries, fruit.- and cotton
seed products.
Southern watermelons and canta
loupes are also an important crop
in many sections of the South. Crop
diversification, in fa:t, has revo
lutionized things agriculturally and
cotton is not crowned any more.

drunkenness.
At the trial in the police court at
Macon Saturday, it was shown,
that Jones when arrested for being
drunk had just tried to borrow an
other gun. The two officers who
made the case remembered that
several guns bad been stolen in this
manner from Macon homes and
they told the judge as rnuci. The
recorder bound Jones over to the
city court on a charge of larceny
where he will be tried today.
If Jones is freed by the city court
of Macon, he will be brought to
Americus to be identified and if
either Mrs. Stevens or Mrs. Burke
says he is the man then he will have
to settle things with Judge Harper
in the city court here.
Providing Jones is sentenced in
Macon the authorities will have to
wait until he has served his time
there before bringing him here for
trial.

Relative Merits of Big Stem
Jersey and Porto Rican
Discussed
The relative merits of the south
ern grown “moist” sweet potatoes
and the northern grown “dry” sweet
potatoes have been the subject for
comment for sweet potato growers
and shippers. The former is com
monly represented by the Porto
Rico variety, while the Big Stem
Jersey is a typical “dry” variety.
Eleven years ago the Georgia Ex
periment Station tested seventeen
varieties of sweet potatoes, three of
which were the “dry” kind and
made a good record as far as yields
were concerned; the second to the
highest yield being made by a “dry”
variety.
During the past season the Ex
periment Station has noted the
relative yields of the Porto Rico
xariety as compared with th ■ Big
Stem Jersey, the habit, of gr iwth,
and hds also compared the curing
qualities of the two varieties. The
yields of the two were:
Porto Rico—27l bn, per acre;
8.4 per cent too small to sell.
Big Stem Jersey—367 bu. per
acre; 12.6 per cent t.i small to
sell.
The Jersey potato ran unifi rmly
smaller in size, and a proportion
ately larger number were too small
to sell, while on ‘'he other hand the
Porto Ricos had a much larger per
centage of jumbos wh’.ih were also
unsalable as number I’s. The num-
r MONDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 8,4924 2,
ber of bushels of number 1 potatoes
was larger with the Jersey potatoes.
When the two varieties were dug
under similar conditions and stored
in the curing house no appreciable
differences were noted as to the
rate of drying out and curing of the
two varieties, when both were stor
ed in the same room. We have
found that the same conditions of
storage as practiced in the curing
house with the Porto Rico is also
adaptable to the Jersey potato
