WILL PARDON MRS. BIRDSONG.
Governor Vardaman Will Save Con
victed Woman from Penitentiary.
A speejal from Jackson, Miss., says:
Although Mrs. Angie Birdsong has
been convicted of killing Dr. Thomas
Butler at Montieello, anil although the
state supreme court Tuesday affirmed
tho sentence of the lower court which
ordered Mrs. Birdsong to the peniten
tiary for five years, she will not ga
to the pen. Governor Vardaman, it is
announced, will pardon her.
Immediately after the decision of
the court was made Governor Varda
man granted Mrs. Birdsong a respite,
which will act. as a stay of execution
for thirty days, in which time she
can arrange and have published her
petition for pardon as the law re
quires.
Mrs. Birdsong killed Dr. Butler in
his- office. Shec laimed she went thero
to make him retract statements that
he had been intimate with her. She
says that while in the office Dr. But.
ter attempted to criminally assault
her and she shot him. Mrs. Birdsong
is a niece of United States Senator
MeLauriu.
The opinion of the supreme court
was brief and concluded with the fol
lowing words: “As men, our deepest
sympathy goes out to this unfortun
ate appellant; as Judges, we are
hound to pronounce the judgment of
the law. The right of pardon, the dei
ty, Is vested not in us, hut in the
governor of the state.”

HOW MUCH FERTILIZER TO
APPLY.
Thfi question, “How much fertilizer
should be used per acre?” cannot be an
swered definitely, but only in a general
way. it Is sometimes put in this form:
“What io the most profitable amount that
may be applied per acre?" Neither can
the question in the amended form be
exactly and accurately answered. The
soil, Its character, condition, preparation,
etc., may bo well known, or controllable
factors, but we know not what Redding, the sea
sons may be, says Hon. R. J.
Director Georgia Experiment Station, De
partment of Agriculture, in the Virginia
Carolina Fertilizer Almanac.
We know that some crops will bear
larger amounts of fertilizers with reason
able assurance of profitable returns than
may be expected of other soils. A crop
that occupies the soil from the fall season
until spring, or early summer, will bear
heavier fertilizing than will a crop that
la planted in the spring and ripens for
harvest in midsummer. The first case is
illustrated by oats, wheat, or other small
grain, or grass, especially when sown in
the fall of the year. Such a crop occu
pies the soil during tho late fall and win
ter, and early spring—fluring which pe
riods the rains are usually abundant
ripening for harvest in late spring, or
very early summer, before the burning
summer neat and possible drouths of
June and July. Oats and wheat therefore
are ideal crops for liberal fertilizing.
Corn is rather an uncertain crop on the
ordinary dry uplands of the South. Jt
has but a short period in which to devel
op its flowers—tassels and silks—cover
ing but a few days. Jf very dry weather
shall prevail when this critical period is
approaching, is and for some time after it
passed, the crops may prove a greater
or less failure. There can be no second
effort, no second period of blooming.
Jt i3 different in the case of cotton,
which commences to bloom and make
fruit in Juno (or even earlier) and con
tinues throughout the summer until
checked by a severe frost in November.
It has a number of “chances.”
Cotton is therefore another ideal crop
for liberal fertilizing. A small amount
of fertilizers applied per acre will no
doubt yield a larger percentage profit
on its cost than will a larger cmount.
To illustrate: An application of |2 worth
of fertilizer per acre may '-•ause an in
creased yield of cotton Ut. 10 cents per
pound) of the value of ?6 to 58, or a nrofit
of 200 to 300 per cent, on its cost, A have
frequently had such results. But (Joes
not follow that twice ns heavy an appli
cation will produce twice as large re
sults, or that three times ns much would
cause three times as great an increase
in the yield. In other words, the rate
of increase in the yield of cotton will
not be in proportion to the increase in
the amount of fertilizers applied. Two
dollars' v/orth of fertilizer per acre may
yield dn increase in the crop of p»; but
$6 worth would not therefore bring an
Increase of $18.
But careful observation has shown that
an application of $5 to ?G worth of fertiV*
tzers (properly balanced) Is a safe amount
to apply per acre on cotton. Many farm
ers in Georgia have secured satisfactory
returns from, an application of so much
ns 800 pounds per acre,
I think 000 pounds a perfectly safe limit
on upland in fairly good condition, well
prepared and properly cultivated In cot
ton. For corn, I would limit the amount
lands. tp 200 to 30O pounds per acre on old up*
FOR LOWER RATES
Railroad Commissioners of
Georgia Finally Decide.
FLAT FIGURES ADOPTED
Barring Injunctions, Etc., by Roads.
Passengers in Empire ^ State c of
thE South Will Be Riding
,
Cheaper After Sept. 2.
The Georgia railroad commission,
Friday, finally adopted its much-talk
ed-ot order reducing the passenger
rates in Georgia.
The decision, as a whole, was the
decision of Commissioners H. W. Hill,
chairman, and O. B. Stevens, Commis
sioner Joseph M. Brown dissenting
from that portion of It which put the
railroads named in the 2-cent and 2 1-4
oeilt classes. His opinion was that
these roads should have been put on
the same basis as the others named.
the rest of the decision, however,
he gave his hearty approval.
There appears to be no doubt from
the comment that the commission has
given- the people just what they want
dd. The reductions are material and
at the same time are not too severe
upon the railroads, though there
seems to be little doubt that they will
be contested in the courts.
The commission reclassifies the fol
lowing roads, and prpmuiategs the
following rates for each of said roads

tember 2, 1907, lo-wlt:
