6 Tragedy Staged by Unbalanced Mother LONDON.—Mrs. Elsie Ada Saun ders was found in a ditch, tightly bound, ner clothing torn and her mouth filled with earth. She said two men had attacked, robbed her. cut her hair and stolen her baby. The child was found, barely alive, nearby, its mouth and nostrils stuffed with paper. Mrs. Saunders later con fessed that she planed to get rid of her child because she was out of ,work. , The biological section of the American Chemical Society an nounces that ’ chlorine gas may soon come into universal use as an influ enza preventive. For More Than Forty Years Cotton Growers have known that POTASH PAYS More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts had been imported and used in the United States in the 20 years previous to January, 1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,- 700 Tons consisted of KAINIT which the cotton grower knew was both a plant food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with it came also 1,312,400 Tons of 20 per cent MANURE SALT which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was used mainly in mixed fertilizers. Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and high freight rates make it more desirable to ship Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash. MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 * pounds of Kainit. MANURE SALT has been coming forward in considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big Cotton Crop. Muriate of Potash 50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward a ] BO> loo pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400 pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt. These are the three Standard GERMAN P otash Salts that were always used in making cotton fertilizers and have been used for all these years with great profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE CROP. The supply is not at present as large as in former years, but there is enough to greatly increase the Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the necessary effort to get it for you.

Npt as Hard as It Seems When the trapping season closes, one of the first questions the man or boy trapper asks himself is, “What shall I do during the off season?” Os course, you should do everything you can to protect the fur supply and conserve the fur crop, especially dur ing the breeding season. If you have the time and convenience you can also help to increase the fur crop by raising the animals on your own land. Not much space is needed —just a few pens in the barnyard or on the land nearby. Fur farming is becom ing more popular and widespread ev ery day, and in many farm yards the wired-in enclosures where the fur bearers are raised in captivity are. bigger money makers than the chick en coops. . It has been found that skunk, mink, fox, raccoon may be raised successfully in captivity and in some districts, marten, beaver, and otter. For the person . undertaking fur farming with the idea of experiment ing and further learning before branching out on a large*scale, skunk or fox are probably the best animals to raise at first. There is money in fur farming if properly conducted. Several' black silver fox ranches in different parts of the country, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, present ample testimony. So don’t go into it in the spirit of play or indifference. Study your animals well; learn how to feed, shelter, and care for them. Get all the useful information you can on this subject. The U. S. Dept, of Agriculture publishes several val uable bulletins relating to fur farm ing. Girls Wed U. S. Soldiers, Shipped as Stowaways MANILA, P. I.—Two Russian girls who arrived recently from Siberia as stowaways on the transport Crook escaped deportation by marrying American soldiers of the Thirty-first infantry. The girls, Olga Vohromayeva and Feodorahka Motha, dressed as .American soldifers, boarded the trans port at Vladivostok and their ident ity did not' become known until the ship, carrying more than 1,000 offi cers and men of the Thirty-first in fantry, was well on its voyage. When they attempted to land here they were taken into custody. An hour before the transport Mad awaska was ready to sail for "V ladi vostok the girls were taken to the pier by officers of the immigration service, who expected to start them an their return to Siberia. While the party was awaiting at the pier and a Filipino policeman. was guarding the girls, Sergeant Morris Duncan and Private F.

The immigration authorities de cided to release the girls from cus today, and as they drove away with their husbands, the crowd gave them a hearty cheer. , Breaks Into Prison to Escape High Prices Robert Needham, paroled three weeks ago after serving part of a sentence at Joliet for burglary, scaled the walls of the state peni tentiary from the outside and sneaked back into prison because he found himself unable to cope with the high cost of living as a free man. “The only way to beat the high cost »f living is to be in prison,” said Needham.

Grand Opera Week Closes Leaving Behind 'Memories’ Grand Opera “has came/hnd went,” as it were, after giving thousands of music lovers such wonderful treats, as the seven operas held. Caruso’s golden voice thrilled every one as it had many times before. Farrar’s lute like soprano opened wide the doors of love and sympathy for Cio- Cio-San, in her interpretation of Madam Butterfly. And on Saturday afternoon when the familiar strains of that Oldland most loved opera. 11 Trovatore, reached the ears of the listeners, not the slightest sound was heard through that vast audi ence, so deep was the spell. The anvil chorus, filled the hearts of the people seated in that huge audito rium. as nothing else had done. The music throughout the opera was nothing short of sublime. The program for the week was as follows, Monday night, Caruso, in the opera, Samson and Delila; Tues day, Farrar, in the French opera, Zaza; Wednesday night Lucia, Thursday afternoon La Juive (mean ing the Jewess; this was said to be the deepest of all the operas.

I : Name ’ Address.■ | Express Office COTTON NEW YORK, May 3. —Reports that there bad been showers or rains in the eastern sections of the belt over Sunday, combined with better prospects for a settlement of the Yancashire wage dispute, the passing of May day without any sensational devel opments abroad", and the stronger opening tone of the stock market, led to sharp ad vances in cotton at the opening today. First prices were unchanged to 60 points higher, with late months relatively firm, but near positions firmed up right after the call, the general list selling about 25 to 55 points net higher. This carried July up to 38.45 c and October to 36c, after which there were reactions of 20 to 25 points under realizing. The failure of the eastern belt rain news and early advance to attract a broadening commission house demand were evidently a disappointment to early buyers. The easier tone of the stock market after an opening advance also promoted a tendency to take profits on long contracts and prices worked lower late in the morning. July was rela tively weak, selling off to 38.05 c, or 15 points net lower, while later months showed reactions of some 35 to 45 points from the best, with October selling at 35.55 c, or only 10 points above Friday’s closing. Brokers with Japanese connections were credited with selling July and October. Trading was quiet during the early after noon, and there was little further change in prices, which, however, showed a tendency to sag -wilder scattered liquidation. July sold off to 38c, or about 20 points net lower, but the new crop remained relatively steady owing to unfavorable advices from the south, with October ruling around 35.57.

To ward the middle of the morning the trading months were only 10 to 30 points higher than the close of last week, July falling off to 38.10 c. Belief in rain for the western belt was based on the low barometer over that section of the belt. Unfavorable reports concerning labor de velopments among New England mills were largely offset by numerous complaints of re planting on a large scale in several states in the belt and the market madeuittle price change, standing late in the morning 2 to 30 points over the close of Saturday, the dis tant months being stronger than the near. The market retained a rather easy under tone into the late trading and toward the close stood 5 points down to 22 points up compared with Saturday’s final prices, July being the weakest month and dropping to 37.95. Distant months were steadier than the near because of reports of more rain during the day in the eastern belt.

The official forecast calls for only cloudy weather in Texas and Oklahoma. Should the low barometer over the west bring rain over night it would cause heavy selling.

Commodity Prices There were several recessions of special importance and much stronger resistance to the upward trend of prices this week than recently, with thirty-eight declines appearing in the list of quotations received by Dun’s Review, as compared with twenty-six ad vances. While supplies were not burden some, improvements in traffic conditions ed to expectations of lower prices for dairy products, and buyers held off; but, though the better offerings of fresh butter sold down sharply, medium and lower grades, and cheese and eggs, were comparatively firm. Continued light receipts and reports of an increased export demand imparted notice able strength to cron, oats and rye, and quotations soared to the highest poitit of the season eary In the week. Large re ceipts at the principal markets weakened prices of beef, bogs and sheep, but, as many sales were a matter of private bar gaining, it was extremey difficut to ascer tain the actual market. Provisions moved within a rather narrow range, but the gen eral trend wasieasy. Notable strength con tinues the outstanding feature of the iron and steel Industry, and practically all changes that have occurred have been to ward a higher level, but some shading of prices has been noted in the minor metals. All classes of cotton goods are firmly held, but sentiment in hides and leather still seems to be reactionary, and rubber and silk prices are easy. ■ Record Oats Price CHICAGO, Muy 3.—The highest price ever paid for oats was offered today. 0n the Chicago board of trade bidders opened the May oats future at $1.03% and quickly ran it up to $1.05.

GusrßMfcsß Botw vo<r TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1920. Weekly Crop Notes [ Co-operative crop reporting service for Georgia: United States Bureau of Crop Estimates (F. W. Gist, acting field agent); Georgia Department of Agriculture (J. J. Brown, commissioner); weekly crop notes, April 25 to May 1, 1920. The first part of the week was gen erally fair and warm, giving opportunity for much farm work, which was devoted largely to planting. On the 26th very heavy rains fell over the central portion of the state, which seriously retarded - work and added to the already excessive moisture in the soil. Light rains 1 also fell ove rthe remainder of the state. Temperatures were lower, accompanying the rains. The fruit oiftlook for Georgia at this time is fairly good, notwithstanding that it has been materially damaged by cold, rain and hail. The late reports indicate that there will be some peaches left from the recent cold snap in the northern part of the state. In the central and southern portions peaches are in fair condition. Apples are rather late in blooming in some sections, due to the continued cold weather, though the outlook is good for a fair crop. Pears have been damaged to some extent by cold and blight, however, they seem to be in good condition. Strawberries have been damaged by the continued rains, though a good yield is promised. The wheat, oats and rye crop continue very promising, though some poor stands of spring oats. Farm preparation has been very limited owing to the continued rains and scarcity of labor, yet some progress lias been made during the last few days. Practically no planting has been done in the northern part of the state, while in the central section planting is being pushed rapidly. South Georgia has had difficulty in getting a stand on account of wet weather and inferior seed. In many sec tions planting over has been necessary, some planting the third time. The scarcity off cottonseed in many places has necessitated the change of crops from cotton to corn, peas, beans and other food crops. The acreage to peanuts in the northern part of the state will probably bo normal, while in central and southeast sections the indications are for a good increase, with a probable decrease in south and south west Georgia. Indications are that a nor mal acreage will be planted in water melons in all sections except middle south Georgia, which shows a slight increase. Weather conditions have not been favorable to this crop and poor stands are reported. The usual acreage will probably be planted to cantaloupes. Indications still show a heavy increase i;t sweet potatoes over last year. There will probably be a small increase in the acreage planted to tobacco, which is now being transplanted in the southern part of the state. Indications are that a great increase in acreage will be planted to velvet beans this year. Generally horses and mules are In fair condition, but in some sections feed is run ning short and conditions are not so good. Cows are looking very well. The few re cent warm days have brought the grass out and pastures are in fairly good shape. Gn account of scarcity of labor, meet every county in the state is using more modern machinery in the way of tractors, riding and walking cultivators, harrows, corn planters, cotton choppers, also cotton dusters. Cholera and mange have been reported from twenty two counties, covering the state with the exception of the third and fourth districts. Indications are that there will ba nu'ra forage crops giown than last year, con sisting of pea vines, velvet betns, millet and natural glasses. General < m ulalnt of the scarcity of iabo and continued rai nsprevailed throughout the state. Work is from three 0 six weeks late.
