NOT YETsEtTLED Smart or Gore Feel* That the United State* Is Still In Orftfe Dfafor and May Reach . the Oceaklbf Point With Germany. Washington, Fob. 39. ? In the sen ate and house quiet prevailed today, so far as any discussion of tho sub marine issue with Germany was con cerned, except- Tor the reading of a letter, submitted by Senator Tillman of South Carolina, in which D. F. Dennington, of New York, expressed I the opinion that persons who trav eled on belligerent owned vessels were "fools, "-and "In nine cas^s out of ten ought to be killed for*" being fools." ? _ I Leaders on both sldoa seemed contnt today to let matter* drift so far as the submarine quettlon was concerned. To questloiia'ius to what Congress and the eoimUy will do tf ? the pvrstJTed In uiljlm oat their plan to ainls armed mnr cbantmn without -ts^rnl&g after March 1. they replied, "trait nntll the Tesaels are sunk." While acquiescing In (he del of the President to b? illow d to carry on dlplomatlo negotiations and to handle the sltuaUoq thro ugh the many did persist In'a^firylng oat the' orders of the adm'.ra'ty. Senltor Oore, whose resolution warning Americans fo krep off armed bellig erent owned . merchantmen te gt*ll pending beforl the senate, saldfthat he did not expect to make any move at this time to have it adopted. The senator said t^at If Congress and the President wslted until after (lerman submarines had sunk armed merchantmrn without ratnlng. It would be too late to take such Meps as he had suggested for kee'.ng Americans safe and avoiding further complications. He -pointed ont that at rfuch a tlm*, when American lives had been sacrificed,. It would be hard for Congress not to back up the President, even If it meant reaching the breaking point with Oermany and Volng to war.

Thia ques tion Is W* hi trd to answer, bat ???! the Burley crop la short about one hundred and twenty million -pounds, and tha Old Bolt crop of Virginia, and North Carolina short alio, I should think our Eastern crop would sett well. The Barley crop of Ken tucky' la practically all used for home consumption, but little of It being exported , and therefore with a shortage of about one hundred * and i forty millions of pounds of smoking { and Shewing tobaccos used In this | cottntry and to be made up from this* section I cannot see why our crop | should not make the farmer money. I | I don at wish to advise any plant er to over-drop himself, or to neg- j I lect anx^ crop for his 'money crop; | but I would advise the people to put I In a normal crop, mskisg it as bright | aft they, can. 1 also know that our, immediate section has a better chance to raise a good crop than any other !a the Eastern belt; from the fact that our lands for tobacco are comparatively new, not having had tobaooo "grown on them bat a *SW years. Iterator* the potash In w toDi kss not ban exhausted, abd our available supply la greater jChan in the sections further weat of us whloh have raised tobacco for a longer term of yars. Potash can* Dot be bought this year in large quantities 'at any reasonable figure. | Wberevar poeelblaJt la bettar to wot k? uad It'-MWlli ' or i>?d .(fiKu njKj tohMeo, or iaiN.t^t'h&artHsfcg^i&obacco one or/twe~ -yeara ago. and io ocrn or (OCXHl <*? . A CTMt tDmnyof otfr mu. ufacturers wish a heavy-bodied large piece of tobacco. This la not true, ftjfly In the tip grades which \isuallf ran heavy from standing longer in the field and drawing the full strength or -the plant. Our . crop 's 4~slrabl6 for its color qualities, its mildness for the use of cigarettes and medium heavy pipe tobaccos, though by this 1 do not mean it Should be papery. The bright high co'ored medium sls? tough tobRfcoa, not thirk. hav~ be-.s fc'?b for years' and are likely to contnue so. ~9?Mle In Kentucky ^hls winter I tftSfce^numerous Inquiries among tho best growers and find they all use a, tobacco planter, thereby doing away with the necessity of waiting for a season to plant by. saving labor, and by the quiekness of the planttlng i making a more uniform growth. Alto | there the tobacco Is planted In t , foot 8 Inch Yov* from 14 to It la the hi 1. and topped high. Thta give a about 800 Ullla to the acre, and In bright colore aa la wanted, gives mors leaves to the acrs and makos up the weight to the acrs. Bright color and heavy bodied to baccos do not grow together. The yield last year In ths Blue Orsss of Kentucky was abont pSOO pounds to the acre, tbla year. It is about L200 pounds, caQred "by wfst weather. II do not think oiir landswtU maks | ths quaVlty when planted this cloae 1 on ths acre, but 1 have thought for ' some time past that our farmers did { not r'?at close enough in the hill, and that a four-foot row all over ths fleld was better than a fo^r-foot row every fourth row. I thlxpc that a four-foot row and an 18 to 24 ; | meX. bill according to the strength Of the land Is better. This gives a good "working row, plenty of sun light to ths root of ths plant to rip- J en and mature It, and a greater! number of plants to the aarc, about j "600, and topped right will mats *al bright tough piece of tobacco.
