DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL* DOUGLASVILLB, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1320.
PuB Together for an
American Merchant Marine
The war resulted In the creation of a preat merchant
marine—10,000,000 tons of American ships which cost us
$3,000,000,000.
Everybody agrees that we must keep this fleet on the
•eas.
If we fall back to pre-war conditions—when only 0 per
cent of our forelpn trade was carried in American ships—
We shall be in the position ot ^a department store whose
* Congress is considering legislation which will perpetuate
our war-built merchant' marine.
Until this is done the ships we have should not be sold
to face conditions which, prier to the war. resulted in the
decline of our merchant marine to ins.flnificance.
Tids Committed culls attention to these facts because a
right solution of our shipping problem is vital to the future
prosperity of shipbuilding, but equally vital to the safety
ami prosperity of the tuition.

I T ia interesting to note that among the
earlier Buick Valve-in-Head motor cars
manufactured, there are still hundreds of
these Models in active daily service. This
wonderful endurance — stamina — consis
tent performance is so well established and
maintained that the Buick car has become
a definite standard of motor car value.
Prospective purchasers—Buick owners—,
and the exacting public, find that these
Buick assets are the basis for the enviable
reputation of the Buick Valve-in-Head car
today—this unusual efficiency, quality and
performance is found only in the Buick
Valve-in-Head motor car.

. THc. PRINCIPAL CUES.
Georgia Baptiste are sending up a
shout of victory. The -first year of
the Baptist Seventy-five Million Cam
paign closed Monday night, May 3.
The quota for Georgia was $7,600,000
for the five years, or $1,500,000 for ono
year. Georgia’s first yuuHfe gifts
amount to $1,669,189.64. This is In
hand. There will be a decided in
crease over this amount next year, for
all money not Included in this report,
will be credited on the second year’s
gifts. Many church treasurers did not
get the money to the state office in
time for credit on the first year.
Dr. Arch C. Cree, executive secre
tary of the Georgia Baptist Convention,
is delighted with the showing of this
first year. In commenting on the re
sults us revealed in actual funds in
hand, Dr. Cree had the following to
eay
“We are grateful that God has led
us to this victory. Georgia Baptists
are not willing to fitop with their qut>
ta, and 1 am confident that the show
ing of this first year confirms the feel
ing of our brethren that when the
five year period is ended we will have
given in actual cash more than ten
millions of dollars, ram deeply grate
ful to the pastors and church leaders,
und, most of all, the individual Bap-
the
send out to their neighbors
other States. •
60UTHERN BAPTISTS IN
WASHINGTON.
This fine report of Georgia Baptiets
will be made this week at the meet
ing of the Southern Baptist Convention
in Washington, D. C. This meeting is
the greatest gathering of Baptists in
the history of America. It has been
termed the "Victory Convention.” Re
ports of the first year will be heard
from the entire convention's area.
Seventeen states are included in the
membership.
Train loads of Georgia Baptists went
to the nation’s capitol on Monday and
Tuesday. They will be there through
out the entire convention which closes
next Tuesday. The Southern and Sear
board Railways operated special traioe
to take care of the crowds going from
Georgia. % , ■ K
It is estimated that the attendance
will go beyond the ten thousand mark.
There were more than four thousand
iglstered delegatee at the convention
ash. He also used 1,200 pounds of
acid phosphate and 11 tons of stable
manure per acre, applying all of the
fertilizer just before planting time.
He planted the Piedmont Pedigreed
Cleveland seed, and his yield of lint
cotton per acre on the test patch was
1,360 pounds, or approximately three
bales. Cotton at 40 cents per pound
and seed at $80.00 per ton, the average
yield of 165 pounds of lint per acre in
Georgia last season amounted to $78.80
for the lint and seed; whereas, the
yield of 1,360 pounds of lint per acre
on this patch sold for $625.60 lor the
lint and seed, making a difference in
returns per acre of $546.80.
The winner of the second prize used
• . • V
per acre 3,000 pounds of a complete
fertilizer (8-3-3), analyzing 8 per cent
of phosphoric acid, 3 per cent of am
monia, and 3 per cent of potash, aiJ
being applied at planting time. He
also applied 200 pounds of nitrate ol
soda per acre about the 25th of June.
He planted the Cleveland Big Boll
seed, and his yield of lint cotton per
acre on the test patch was 1,197
pounds, or approximately two and two
fifths bales of 500 pounds each. Cot
ton at 40 cents per pound and seed
at $80.00 per ton, the average yield
of 220 poundft of lint per acre in South
Carolina last year amounted to $305.12
for the lint and seed; whereas the
yiejd of 3,197 pounds of lint per acre
on this patch sold lor $556.92 for the
lint and «eed, making a difference in
returns per acre of $453.80.
Tiie winner of the third prize ap
plied 1,000 pounds per acre of a mix
ture of fish scrap, acid phosphate and
cotton seed meal, broadcasting all of
this with stable manure just before
planting time. He also made a side
application of nitrate of soda in the
middle of the growing season.
He planted th* Peterson’s Improved
seed, and his yield of lint cotton per
acre on the test patch was l,04€
pounds, or slightly over two 500-pound
bules. Cotton at 40 cents per pound
and seed at $80.00 per ton, the average
yield of 280 pounds of lint per acre
in North Carolina last year amounted
to $183.72 for the lint and seed, where
as the 'yield of 1,040 pounds of lint
per acre on this patch sold for $493.84^.
for the lint and seed, making a dif- 1
ference in returns per acre of $360.12
Taking into coneideration the cost
of picking and handling the extra
amount of cotton produced and the
extra amount of fertilizer applied on
these test patches, there is still,a bal
ance of returns in favor of these high
er yields of from $300.00 t© $400.00 per
acre, which is well worthy of the
deepest consideration on the part of
I Lie* cotton farmers who expect 4 to pro^
duce cotton with profit under the
present conditions. • »
In tiie profitable production of cot
ton in the future larger yields per
acre will lie the keynote of success.
Tiiw can be accomplished by practic
ing m ore intensive methods, including
1he intelligent use of commercial fer
tilizers. To obtain the best results in

FIRSf YEAR WAS SHORT
It ia a significant fact that the firat
year of the Seventy-five Million Cam
paign period ia not a' whole year.
•. matter of fact all money contributed
aluce May 1, 1913, counted, but it will
he recalled that tiie campaign did not
get under way until September of hint
year, and it waa not until December 1
that the pledgea were made. The
campaign period, therefore,
covered the year in point of develop
ment und intensity. This fact makes
the leaders in Georgia and throughout
the South doubly grateful. It shows
that tiie Baptisth of this State and oth
er States are going to do a marvelous
ly fine tiling by the end of the cum
puign period of five years.
Willi the flue spirit which him per
moated tiie denomination u-s a result
of tiie launching of the campaign and
with Iho definite assurance that there
will not be any reaction in any sense
following the unprecedented move
ment, Georgia Baptists have before
them a great day of achievement
bringing to pass the Kingdom of God
on this earth.
The impetus of this first year of
victory will be multiplied by the phuie
now in operation ivy tiie denomination,
nnd it is everywhere felt that the first
’year Is but the beginning of the great
work nf Baptists of Georgia and
throughout the South.
SOME CHALLENGING FIGURES
II will be of interest to the public to
know that during the month of April
Dr. Cree’s office received $711.(121.(13.
This Is . within a fraction of as much
money ns Georgia Baptists gave dur-
lost year in Atlanta.
OTHER STATES REPORT
PROGRESS.
Early reports received through the
Home Miasion Board offices from the
other states of the convention indicat
ed thut they would raise their quota.
Ckeorgla was loading eyery Btate of the
South In the proportion of money paid
out during the first year for the Home
Mission Board. This is a safe basis
to estimate that Georgia is leading
every. slate in the total amount of
money since the gifts are distributed
on a uniform basis in almost every in
stance.
Georgia was leading Texas by a safe
margin when this article goes to press.
This is regarded us a new index to
has not! the place which Baptists cd this state
are taking. Texas lias been leading
all the states for a number of years.
MANY PLANS AFOOT IN GEORGIA
When Georgia Baptists get back
from the "Victory Convention" they
will se^ their hands to the task of
making this second year of the cam
paign period a record breaking year
in Christian service. Many plans are
now on toot to realize an enlarged pro-
Monday, May 3, than during the
tiro year of 1916. These figures alone
Indicate the tromendoue swing of the
movement among the Baptists of this
Btate.
The Baptist women of Georgia were
asked to raise $300,000 in this first
jug tiie entire year of 1918-19. More
money was received at the office on, summer, in connection with this plan
