PHILLIPINE BILL 1§
PASSED UNAMENDED
Washington, D. C.,, May I.
The administration’s fight for the
Senate Philippine bill with . its
Clarke amendment authorizing
independence for the Islands
within four years was lost tonight
in the House.
After voting 213 to 165 to
strike out the Clarke amendment,
the House by a vote of 251 to 17,
passed a substitute for the entire
measure, the Jones bill providing
for a greater measure of self-gov
ernment in the Philippines and
carrying a preamble declaring the
intention of the United States to
grant independence ultimately,
but without fixing a date.
Over the heated protest of ad
ministration leaders the House,
by a vote of 203 to 154, instruct
ed its conferees not to agree to
any declaration setting a definite
time for granting the islands their
independence. Speaker-Clark ap
pointed Representatives Jones, of
Virginia, and Garrett, of Tennes
see, Democrats, and Towner, of
Towa, Republican, as conferees.
Goes to Conference.
The bill now goes to conference
between the two houses, with the
opponents of the Clarke amend
ment satisfied that it is dead at
least for this session of Congress.
The House remained in session
until late tonight to take the final
vote. Thirty Democrats joined
the solid Republican minority in
defeating the Clarke amendment,
which had been given unqualified
indorsement by President Wil
son.
It was the first marked victory
of the year over any part of the
President’s legislative program
and the Republicans were noisily
jubilant. After each victorious
vote they applauded for several
minutes and by way of mocking
the Democrats, emitted repeated
ly the famous “rebel” yell of the
majority.

BASEBALL TEAM IS |
READY FOR BUSINESS
Most of the baseball team has‘
now arrived, the latest arrival be
ing our old Hank Kates who blew
in on the A. B. & A. last night.
This leaves two more men to re
port. Skipper Cochran will not
be in till June sth or thereabouts
when “school turns out.” The
other man has not been signed
yet. That is our other pitcher.
Thurmond and Nicholson are
dickering with several likely boys
and one will be signed in time for
the [Kastman games next week.
As was stated in the last isspe
Charlie Garwood will pitch the
initial game against Moultrie.
Larry Lariscy will hurl the sec
ond. We may say for Laricsy
that the first game he pitched this
season in the Savannah city lea
\guc, twenty men bit the dust be
fore the sweep of his mighty arm.
}'l‘hc infield will be Kates, Lecis
son, our new player from Bruns-
Iwick, Mize and George Norris,
our new third baseman who play
ed the position for H'ville last
‘year. The outfield will be Bar
nett, field captain, Barber and one
of our home boys at centerfield
until Cochran arrives. John L.
Monahan will catch.
We have a splendid team with
splendid spirit and splendid or
ganization. It is undoubtedly
one of the best in the South
Georgia Independent circuit. To
maintain a team like this it re
quires quite a lot of cash and the
fans have that cash. Our team
is going to do its best to adver
tise Fitzgerald as a live-awake
town and it is up to you to see
that they don’t run in a hole. Give
the boys plenty of support and
they will sure bring Home the ba
con. Lets have the record break
ing crowd at the new ball park
\ Monday.
TUESDAY’S BALL GAME
The second team of the High
School took the first game of the
season from the second town team
Tuesday on the school diamond
with a score of 31 to 4. The
game was featured by the hard
hitting of the School team, es
pecially that of Booth and Thur
mond. The pitching of Phil
Booth was another feature, by al
lowing only 5 scratch hits. The
game was called at the end of the

Macon, Ga., May 3.—The slate

democratic convention did not go

but to insure harmony, double
the number of delegates at large

yesterday evening—and even

That they did not include some

. What will constitute an acceptable fertilizer formula for the present year?
1S a question being asked by thousands of farmers. Of course, every one
{)eghzes that abnormal conditions prevail in the fertilizer industry, and this
q?mg the case, it is first necessary to consider what can be secured, and
i'ken broceed to compound and use these materials in a manner which is
ikely Lo prove the most beneficial to the crops ordinarily grown. In this
connection it is certain that while prices may be higher than in previous
years, there are very considerable quantities of cotton seed meal and acid
phosphate available. No potash can be had. Crushed lime rock may be
secured in large quantities, but its use should be primarily restricted to
liberal applications made to the land preferably before the planting of le
guminous crops. Floats are also on the market, but according to tests we
ha\'@ made up to the present time, and in view of the small amount of or
ganic matter in Georgia soils, it does not appear that this material can be
depended on as a satisfactory source of available phosphoric acid the present
season. Nitrate of soda is scarce and high-priced. Sulphate of ammonia i$ |
limited in supply and also high in price. Blood and bore and fish scrap will |
Probably be available in normal amounts.
The Most Acceptable Carrier.
It appears from a hasty review of the list that acid phosphate is likely to
Prove the most acceptable carrier of phosphoric acid available to the farmer,
argd tha't he must decide on what he will use to supply nitrogen to combine
With acid phosphate in the hope of securing the best fertilizer available for
use under existing conditions. Naturally, if he has exchanged his seed for
meal or if he still has seed to sell, he will desire to use cotton sced meal,
and, of course, a combination of 1000 pounds of standard meal and 1000
Dound_S_of 16 per cent acid phosphate will give him a very good formula,
containing 266.8 pounds of available plant food per ton. This is about the
only combination he can hope to make which will supply his soil with any
potash. This formula will run 9.2 per cent of phosphoric acid, 3.09 per
cent of nitrogen and about 1 per cent of potash. A formula of this character
is well supplied with nitrogen for most farm crops and contains a very good
amount of phosphoric acid, and of course, the potash is a distinct advantage
for use particularly under truck crops or on sandy lands.
600 Pounds of Cotton Seed Meal.
It is not necessary that this exact combination be used, however, as the
amount of meal may be reduced to 600 pounds and the acid phosphate left
at 1000 pounds. If 400 pounds of fish scrap be added to this mixture, a
formula containing a little better than 3 per cent of nitrogen and 10 per cent
of phosphoric acid will have been obtained, though the potash will have
been somewhat reduced. Along the coast such a formuia might prove quite
desirable: in other sections, tankage might be used in the place of fish
scrap. By this arrangement the nitrogen could be maintained on a three
per cent basis and the phosphoric acid raised to 11 per cent. In these
calculations it is considered that the fish serap contains 8 per cent of nitro
gen and 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, and the tankage 8 per cent of
nitrogen and 11 per cent of phosphoric acid. As materials of this character
vary considerably in composition these facts must be kept in mind in n_;laking
calculations as to the amount of available plant food a given formula may
contain.
If one were desirous of securing a formula running very high in nitrogen
derived from different sources, then 1000 pounds of acid phosphate with 600
pounds of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of dried blood and 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda myjight be used. In case it is desirable to use sulphate of
ammonia, the same amount of cotton seed meal could be used with 200
pounds of the sulphate, and the acid phosphate increased to 1200 pounds.
Farmers who are operating on a soil which is in fairly good condition and
do not think it necessary to use formulas carrying over 2.5 per cent of
nitrogen, but a fairly good per cent of phosphoric acid, may find it advantage
ous to mix 800 pounds of cotton seed meal with 1200 pounds ef acid phos
phate. By this arrangement they will secure a formula containing virtually
2.5 per cent of available nitrogen, 9.6 per cent of available phosphoric acid
and .8 per cent of potash.
Potash in Cotton Seed Meal.
In addition to using the largest ration of cotton seed meal possible as a
source of potash in a mixed fertilizer to increase the potash supply, about all
the farmer can do would be to save and return to the soil in the form of
compost as much roughage in the for;m of straw, yard manure and lilter as
possible. If this is in a well-rotted condition so much the better, as under
these circumstances the plant food it contains will become more quickly
available and the material can also be incorporated with the soil to better
advantage. Of course, wherever wood is burned the farmer should save the
ashes as these contain some potash and help to increase the supply of this
now very scarce, and yet often desirable element, particularly for truck crops
and for use on sandy soils. Where wood ashes are available, however, they
should not be mixed with fertilizer under any circumstances but should be
applied separately. They could be scattered in the row with the compost
and mixed with the subsoil and then a light furrow of earth should be turned
in and the seed bed for corn made thereon, one of the fertilizer formulas
suggested above being drilled in at the time the corn is planted. The cotton
shonld, of course. be planted on a bed. _ _ Das o !
eight delegates at large would be
entitled to half a vote in the St.
Louis national nominating con
vention.
Conspicuous in the formation
of the list of eight were Senator
Thomas W. Hardwick and Wil
liam J. Harris, and from their fol
lowing the list of names shown
above were given out as the del
egation at large to be. That the
list didn't exactly harmonize,
though, was evidenced in the fact
that a strong Hub Dean follow
included among the delegation,
and the first district delegation to
hold a conference, tie Eighth, in
cluded Dean’s name among those
endorsed for the delegation, it
having also enthusiastically en
dorsed \W. F. Jenkins, of Putnam,
for one of the places, and heart
ily approved the plan of sending
eight instead of four.
The Two Electors at Large
For electors at large, Judge E.
J. Reagan, of McDonough, and
C. C. Brantley, of Valdosta, have
been endorsed and appear to have
ne opposition. Judge Reagan
was originally slated for one of
the delegates at large, but the
later compilation did not include
him in that list. Mr. Brantley’s
name as an elector appeared dur
ing the early evening and appear
ed to meet with approval.
