An Haster egg by any other name
would taste just as delicious, but the
world over the people are creatures
of h:t})lt. so at Easter and around
Easter only we have the chocolate and
Jelly eggs. \
The association of Easter and eggs
goes back to heathen times, Says one
‘authority,
- “It seems as if the egg was thus dec
orated for an Easter trophy, after the
days of mortification and abstinence
‘were over and festivity had taken their
place, and as an emblem of the resur
rection of life, as certified to us by the
Tesurrection from the Yeglons of death
‘and the grave. Notf only do we find
this record of the use of eggs among
'the practices of the Egyptians, the an
clent Israelites and the early Chris
tlans, but De Gobelin informs us that
the custom of using eggs at Easter
may be traced up not only to the the
ology of the people of Egypt, but to
the theology and philosophy of the Per
'sians, the Gauls, the Greeks and the
‘Romans, all of whom regarded the egg
‘aB an emblem of the universe and the
work of the Supreme Divinity.”
The Christians have used eggs on
‘Easter day as containing the elements
of future life. symbolic of the resur
rection. Painted or ornamented eggs
‘have become in many lands an Easter
Anstitution,
As for the bunny, the chicken and
the kewpie. they all play their part in
/modern Euaster gifts. The bunny or
hare owes its popularity to the be
lief of the German children that it is
the hare who lays the eggs on Kaster
day,
Easter aivays brings a profusion of
flowers, with the lily the most popular
of all. “In the beauty of the lilies,
Christ was born” has an additional
meaning when one sees lilies on every
side. The fact that a Philadelphian
tntroduced the Bermuda lily to this
country adds more interest to this
ever-interesting subject. In 1880, so
the story runs, a young man from the
‘Bermudas was visiting in that city,
and upon seeing a lily, exclaimed : “Oh,
‘there is our 1i1y.,” However, upon
‘close examindtion he found that it
‘was not a Bermuda lilv. This inci
«dent led to a Philadelphia florist visit
ing Bermuda in 1881 and bringing the
bulbs to this country. We all know
its popularity. No wonder, for it s
superior to both the Chiuese and
Egyptian (or calla); it is a surer
bloomer and more profuse; it also has
# greater fragrance,
Now the lily industry in the United
States is thriving. Millicus upon mil
lions are grown from Flerida to Call
fornia. In these climes thiey are grown
under glass, in fact a veritable lly
king plants a half a million bulbs this
way.
But in enthusiasm for the Mly, the
rhododendron, the azalea, the spirea,
tulip, hyacinth, daffodll, narcissus,
Frams and the many others must not
L knew.by a rose at the end of the street,
And the glad martial rhoving of thousands
of feet,
That the mischievous old March, ancient
yet new,
Had come to the city, to me and to you;
And the seed of his sowing had wakened
again
In the hearts and the souls of millions
of men:
I knew by the look in the eyes of the old,
That the grass of His growing had cove
ered the mold;
I knew by the wonder that came to the
town, 3
The stern, iron city with sorrow weighed
down,
That one had arisen who once had been
dead
And the white Easter message agaln had
been said.

Free Press.

There are many little tragedies
which happen at Easter time, Some
of them are not without their humor
ous side. Right on your very street,
possibly in the house next door, there
is something going on which is tragic
to the person it happens to, and hu
morous to those who do not suffer
by it. .
Take little Jack or little Mary, for
instance. Weli, w‘e‘ll take little Mary.
She gets an all-chocolate Easter bunny.
All day long you'll long for a piece of
that bunny—grown-ups call them rab
bits—and all day long Mary'll hold
it in her hand. Not that she Is wise
to the fact that we want a piece of
chocolate, but just because the bunny
is fascinating. By the end of the day
Mary has no rabbit. Goodness, no!
Nobody took the rabbit from Mary.
She still has the chocolate—every bit
of it—but the rabbit? Well, he just
melted away into an unrecognizable
solid mass.
Fourteen-year-old brother has ideas
of his own about how Easter should be
spent. A certain young lady—thir
teen years of age—is the apple of
brother’'s eye, and it is only natural
and fitting for a young man about to
venture on the sea of love that he
should have a certain kind of necktie
and low shoes. KEaster blooms forth
in all its splendor and brother ven
tures forth to meet hi¢ lady fair. But
lo! He figured on her liking his plain
blue tie, and all the time she likes the
regimental stripe tie worn by little
Willie Green, and proves her liking by
taking her Faster stroll with Willie,
and not brother,
Three weeks before Easter, just
when the Easter bonnet makes its ap
pearance in the hat shops, mother
rushes downtown to get herself a hat,
And for three weeks mother is on pins
and needles waiting for Easter day to
arrive. And when Easter does arrive
she is on more pins and needles wait
ing for 1 o'clock to strike so that she
can spring a spring hat surprise on
father.” Of course, father and mother
zo to church on Sunday and she'll wear
the hat. She thinks her pale green
turban a little bit frisky. Father not
only approves of thother's thoughts in
words, but also thinks other things
which will not be put in words,
Grandma also suffered some little
tragedies. Pardon the comparison, but
church services to grandma are the
saine as a good personality to a poli
tician or a fortune to a miser. And
[aster services are always a little out
of the ordirary. You know, special
decorations and all that. But grand
mother {g disappointed with the serv
ices this year. The young man who
sang the hymns this year did not do
nearly as well—thanks to her memory
—us the young man who sang the very
same hymn 20 years ago. And the
flowers! Not nearly so pretty as
those of 30 years ago! It's a sad
Easter for grandma after the services,
FERTILIZING THE 1921
COTTON CROP
A study of Georgia Experiment
Station Bulletin 137, recently pub
lished, reveals some interesting points
in connection with the planning of a
fertilizing schz’ule for the 1921 cot
ton crop.
On heavy clay soils on the Station
farm the highest yield of cotton in
1921 was obtained with use of 8-3-0
and 8-3-2 formulas. On such soils
potash fertilizers are not essential for
cotton production; and it .is inadvis
able to add more potash than is con
tained in 600 pounds of 8-3-2 fertili
zers. On medium- clay soils cotton
vields were not greatly varied with
use of 8-3-2, 83-6, or 8-3-9 formulas;
a fertilizer which contained no pot
ash, however, gave only a small in
crease in yield over an unfertilized
test plat. On sandy soils increasing
applications of potash gave corres
ponding increases in seed-cotton
yields; when the amount of nitrogen

“A charge persisted in without knowledge of facts is
- nothing short of slander. We may safely broaden this gen
eralization to read: Persistent statements not based on -
vestigation of facts are tantamount to deliberate falsifica
tion.
~ “We concede that the average man is as yet very care
less in his assertions, and that he sees nothing reprehensible
in being wrong. But when being wrong in an assertion
works injury to someone, the asserter is morally but little
above a comimon Har. {
“During the past few years when public utility owners
and managers have been begging the public for relief from
excessively low rates for services rendered, there have been
- nuinberless printed assertions bv public officials to the
effect that existing rates were hich enough to yicld a fair
return upon actual investaents. Even where appraisals by
reputable engineers and gudité by accountants have belied
such assertions, rarely have the asserters had the honesty
to investigate the facts. Tnstead. their unusual practice has
been to ignore all evidence and persist in their unprovable
statf ments.
“To such a pass has this form of immorality brought
things that several state legislatures are to be asked to
rescind’ laws relating to state regulation of public utility
rates. When mayors and other public officials persist in
telling the public that street railways can profitably carry
passengers at 5 and 6 cents, is it any wonder that many
people have come to regard state utility commissions as
being the tools of utility companies?
“In one state the governor has custed ail the utility com
missioners, because they imcurred the ill will of certain
peuple on account of rate increases granted to public utili
ties. In another state one of the most fearless and capable
utility commissioners has resigned, apparently disgusted
with the charges made not merely by some mayors but by
sowe newspapers that the commission has doue nothing
but raise utility rates unnecessarily. If the engineering
societies in such states were a few years in advance of their
present development, probabiy the public would receive au
thoritative expressions of engineering opinion that would
contradict and perhaps silence the false statements of dema
gogic mayors. The time is certainly overripe for protests
from associations of professional and business men against
the bascless assertions and the selfish acts of politicians wha
are pandering to the worst side of human nature. The
public would like to ride on strect cars for a nickel. They
would like better to ride for nothing. Hence the public is
not only willing to be convinced, but is half convinced be
fore any one has spoken that the ‘predatory railway kings’
are robbing them. The silence of men who know better—
engineers, business men and editors—is taken as evidence
that the statements of the pandering politicians are true.
“It will not do to excuse ourselves from the duty of
speaking and acting now. We have ‘passed the buck’ times
without number, until a few more passings will find us all
riding in the street cars as slowly and expeunsively operated
as the elevators in the typical city hall. America is face to
face with municipal ownership of street car systems, of gas
and electric plants. Steadily and with unrelenting pressure,
the economic life of public utility companies is being
squeezed out. State commissions and courts are trying to
be just, but an ignorant public is constantly threatening
them and doing all that it ean to block their efforts. The
ignorance of the public is mainly ascribable to the silence
of the men who are most competent to speak not only with
authority but with freedom from seifish motives—the pro
fessional engincers, .
“Whether there is to be municipal ownership of all utili
ties or not, professional engincers will be employed. Many
engineers think that their chances of securing adequate
compensation are better under public than under private
administration. At all events there i 3 so little. to choose in
that respect, that engineers as a body cannot be charged
with selfish motives in advocating fair rates for public .
utility corporation services and fair treatment of public util-
Ity commissions, - ¢
“Apropos of the unsound attitude of most municipal offi
cials relative to public utility rates, we quote from a receat
address before the League of California Municipalities by
W. E. Creed, president of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co, -
“‘On the habit of jumping at conclusions without knowl
edge of the facts, T cite the official procedure when an
application for increased rates is filed.
“'The city council meets. It forthwith passes a resolu
tion and instructs the city attorney to oppese the applica
tion. The city attorney-issues his public pronouncement,
duly accompanied by photographs, saying: “I will fight to
the last ditch,” as he raises his eyes to heaven and prays to
God to give him strength that justice may triumph and right
prevail.
“‘Never in all my experience, and I have been in the
public utility business a good ‘many years as a lawyer and
as an exetutive, never in all my “experience have I ever
heard of, read. or secn a resolution by a city council direct
ing a city attorney to investigate the facts and to reason
from those facts to a sound conclusion in the public inter
est. Apparently some public officials are not concerned
about the facts, but are stalwart nevertheless in their con
clusions.
“*‘A rate inquiry ought not to be an adversary proceed
ing, but should'be a mutual and co-operative investigation
of the facts, proceeding upon the theory that either too
high or too low a rate is an injury both to the utility and
to the public’,” il

and phosphorus applied was increased
or decreaséd production was likewise
increased or decreased, and this in
dicates that good results can be ob
tained with low potash 'percentages
by increasing the applications of the
cheaper element, nitrogen, and to a
less extent phosphorus. On medium
clay and sandy soils best results are
probably obtained with the 8-3-3 for
mula; and by increasing the rate of
application of a complete fertilizer
of this formula mpre economical in
creases in yields should be obtained
than by using only increased percen
tages of potash. Domestic, or 21.5
per cent Nebraska potash, was used
in the 1920 fertilizer tests.
The averaage yields for the rate-of
application tests at the Georgia Sta
tion for the past five years clearly
show that the most economical in
creases in yields were obtained from
200 and 400 pounds-per-acre treat
ment with complete fertilizers. On
fertile soils the five-year average
yield for no-fertilizer treatment was
{775 pounds seed-cotton per acre.
| When 400 pounds were applied the
| yield was 1.115 pounds, and with ag-
Iplication of 1,200 pounds fertilizers
|1,405 pounds seed cotton were pro
duced. The inecrease in cotton pro-
Iduction given by the first 200-pound
application was 236 pounds .cotton,
which is much greater than was ob
tained for any succeeding 200-pound
increase in fertilizer applications.
