THE BEO?M*!*t» -——=5 of' ' *|VIL 1 VVAR
Are wo in a state of civil war? o That ^
question is both timely and pertinent. '
It seems that industrial strife and
hatred has grown so intense that as a
nation we can no longer manage our
affairs, and we can no longer "carry
on”. Due to the coal strike and the
strike of the railway shopmen, the gov¬
ernment has declared the emergency
regulations which were in effect during
the world war are restored. In Chicago
grocerymen have announced that they
have voluntarily applied time regula¬
tion to the sale of sugar, and that no
customer can buy more than ten pounds
of sugar at any one time. More than
three hundred trains passing through
Chicago have been cancelled. Train
schedules throughout the country have
been upset and on a majority of the
country's roads it is no longer comfort¬
able or safe to travel.
It is necessary to give priority rules
and regulations for the distribution of
coal. The American public is not merely
discommoded. The actual perpetuity of
American civilization is threatened. In
half a dozen states troops are out to
keep order and to protect life and prop¬
erty. The very ground under the feet
of society and civilization seems mined
and ready to go off at any moment in a
great explosion.
Is there any cause to justify this dan¬
gerous situation? We do not think so.
Over a question of a difference in wages
thousands of men in the two key indus¬
tries of our civilization seem willing to
pull down the pillars of the temple.
They should understand, and probably
do, that this fair structure of America
can lie destroyed in a short time. A
house that took a year in the building
can be burned down in an hour. The
civilization of America can endure no
longer than the people of America want
it to endure. It can be destroyed as
quickly as that of Russia was ruined,
and by the same cause.
Meit are forgetting that they are
Americans, and remember only that
they are members of certain classes.
They have substituted class hatred for
patriotism. If the government does not
approve their idea of what wages they
ought to get, they are willing to make,
and are making, war on the government.
President Harding has said that the
War Labor Board is the sole govern¬
ment agency charged with the duty of
dealing with wage controversies in the
railway industry. No other agency of
the government would or could have
anything to do with such controversy.
After dealing with the grievances of the
shop men, and after the strike had been
ordered, President B. W. Hooper, of the
Mail way Labor Board, said on July 7th,
"The shop crafts have been fairly heard
before the Labor Board. They have ap¬
pealed from the sober, conservative judg
ment of this board to the strike, with
all its inevitable subversion of law and
order.
“For the Labor Board to yield to meas
ures of this kind would be an outrage
upon public decency, and would hasten
the enthronement of anarchv in this
country.”
This, we think, represents the opinion
of the average American citizen who is
neither a railroad executive nor a rail¬
road employe. This disinterested Amer¬
ican does not believe that there is
enough to the controversy to justify
the enthronement of anarchv, and is
going to support enthusiastically any
methods of settlement which the gov¬
ernment deems it necessary to adopt.
It is to be hoped that the parties to
the controversy will recognize their re¬
sponsibilities as American citizens, and
not be led off by selfishness to endanger
the perpetuity of the fair structure of
American civilization which this gen¬
eration inherited from the generations
which went before. Should the conflict
spread, which seems probable, the av¬
erage citizen will enthusiastically sup¬
port any drastic method which the gov
ernment may reluctantly adopt to pre¬
serve the rights of human life and prop

and passion, the American workingman,

To The Voters of Th« 8th Congression
a j District:
j herebv announce that I am a ean
, didate for Congress from the 8th Dis
, trict of Georgia, subject to the Demo
era tic Primary.
If elected to Congress I will strive
faithfully to represent every legitimate
interest.
This District is largely devoted to
Agriculture. It is of prime importance,
I t shall, therefore ......__jAintr without delay, give rviiro
my best efforts to better the condition
of those engaged is Agriculture.
If the farmer prospers, all classes
share in his prosperity. If the farmer
fails there can be no prosperity any¬
where.
Agriculture is now in a critical con¬
dition. It is about to be destroyed. We
are fast approaching a crisis. Con¬
ditions demand action on the part of
Congress.
I propose a practical and construc¬
tive urogram for Agriculture. It is the
basis of all prosperity and should be
placed on a party with other indus¬
tries. Better business conditions can
come only after better Agricultural con¬
ditions are restored.
The South can never reach her full
measure of prosperity until cotton sells
for a fair price, and until the price is
stabilized. To this end I will devote
my energies.
I propose to make a vigorous fight for
the restoration of Agriculture, and I
ask at your hands the opportunity to
serve you.
THOS. J. SHACKELFORD.

ALFALFA
One of the great needs of the agri¬
culture of this section is a biennial or
perennial forage crop. Alfalfa seems to
be the best crop to fill this need for cer¬
tain sections of the state. Four or five
cuttings per year, with a yield of four
to six tons per acre for the season may
be expected.
Alfalfa that will last for any length
of time must be disease resistant. So far,
a nfli'i’mv narrow 1 leaf PHf type tvrip MPPni« seems thave to have this this
quality more pronounced than any other
kind. Seed from Kansas and Nebraska
and that general section of the United!
States seems to l>e the most practical.
The heavier, stiffer clay soils of the
Piedmont region seem best adapted for
alfalfa production. The reason for this
is because these soils are either neutral
or show very little acidity, which is un¬
favorable for the production of alfalfa.
Next to the Piedmont region comes the
brown and red soils of the northwest
corner of the state. Alfalfa has not
been grown with success in the Coastal
Plain area. This is probably due to the
low mineral content of the top soil and
the high acidity of the subsoils.
The main tilings in preparing land
for alfalfa are to eliminate all crab grass
and other weeds, preserve a sufficient
amount of moisture for quick germina¬
tion and furnish a fair amount of organ¬
ic' matter. To meet these requirements,
a green crop of a cereal, vetch and a
clover should be plowed under in May
or June, and the land summer fallowed
Liming has not been found to be nec¬
essary in the Piedmont region, but it
seems to be good farm practice to use
lime fairly liberally. In the other sec¬
tions of the state, the use of lime is
necessary to obtain a stand and hold it.
An application of one ton of ground
limestone to the acre, repeated from
three to five years, is recommended. A
heavier application will he needed on
soil types that are decidedly acid. On
most soils of the state, alfalfa will re¬
spond to an application of phosphorus,
especially on the thinner soils. Acid
phosphate or Thomas slag will give im¬
mediate results. If rock phosphate is
used, it should be applied a year or two
in advance of the seeding.
Practically all the soils of Georgia will
need inoculation for alfalfa. The excep¬
tions are where sweet clover or bur clo¬
ver have been grown. Inoculation can
he accomplished either by using the
soil from successful alfalfa, or by using
the artificial culture. In using soil. 40(1
to through 1,000 pounds the fertilizer per acre may be applied
side of a grain
drill. The soil should be protected from
the sun. The artificial culture can be
secured from the Bureau of Plant In¬
dustry, Washington, D. C„ the Georgia
State Department of Agriculture, Atlan¬
ta, Georgia, and from seedsmen.
Fall seeding will give best results un¬
der average conditions in Georgia. The
alfalfa should be seeded early enough to
become thoroughly established before
fall. This will be somewhere between
September 15 and October 15 in Central
Georgia. If seeded in the spring, be¬
tween March 1st and 15th will be an av¬
erage period for best results. The
amount of seed to use per acre will va¬
ry with the condition of the land and
weather conditions. Usually from 20 to
30 pounds of seed per acre can be used
to advantage.
Young alfalfa plants often turn yel¬
low in the spring and practically cease
growth. Clipping, working with'a har¬
row or an application of nitrate of soda
will usually start active growth again.
Tw-enty-five to fifty pounds of nitrate of
soda will usually be sufficient.
Alfalfa should be cut when the shoots
are well started at the base of the plant
The hay is best cured in the wind-row,
swath or cock. This decreases shatter¬
ing of the leaves. Alfalfa hay can be fed
to good advantage to work stock, dairy
cattle, beef cattle and brood sows.
Alfalfa does not stand pasturing as
well as it does cutting for hay. In graz¬
ing cattle and sheep on it, care will have
to be taken to avoid bloating. A good
method of grazing alfalfa with cattle
is to allow it to grow until about ma¬
turity, then put enough cattle on it to
graze it down in two or three weeks.
The field is then clipped, and allowed to
reach maturity before Using grazed
again. The best use that can be made
of alfalfa in Georgia is grazing with
hogs.
Alfalfa may also be used as a cash
crop. The Georgia grown hay will equal
any of the western grades, and in addi¬
tion, has finer stems and greater leafi¬
ness. This home-grown product should

Alfalfa fields are often infested with
especially crab grass. These pests
may be killed out by cultivation. The
best implement for this purpose is a
spring-tooth harrow, which should be
run over the field about twice each sea¬

is a preventive measure rather than a
