THE VAST INCREASE
OF Commercial Fertilizers Indicates More
Cotton This Year.

If the amount of fertilizers sold in Geor-
gia each year can be taken into account
in the estimation of the cotton acreage for
that year, then there is Il vast increase
this year over the acreage Of last season.
According to the figures kept by MIR.
Hewlett Joiner, of the agricultural depart
ment of the state. 900 tons of fertiliz>
have been sold in the state this year. y,
least that many tons have been inspected
III the state.
Last year there was but little more than
half that amount sold III Georgia, and, as
everybody knows, the cotton acreage was
away off last year.
The farmers, with an organized method.
went about the work of reducing the acre
age last year They held meetings here
but all over the south, and the result was
that the acreage was so much reduced
that the price Of cotton bounded away up
yonder at the beginning of the season.
With the small acreage of last year only
1862 tons We're inspected by the chemists
at the department of agriculture for Geor-
gla.
With the 100000 tons inspected this
year it is easy to see if this means any
thing it means that the cotton acreage this
year is nearly double what it was last year
in the state of Georgia at least.
Comparative Sales Ten Years Back.
In this connection it is interesting to
observe the COMPARE tive trade in fertilizers
for the past ten years in the state of GeOr-
gia. The following table shows it accu-
ratey:
During the season of 1915. As, Gas. 90 tons
During the season Of 1876. E. $4,000 tons
During the season of 1867, 10 $500 tons
During the season of 1878. .93 1IS. 90 tons
During the season of 1889. 80, 90 tons
During the season Of 1S19-6O.. .1l9, 56} 90 tons
During the season of 1S50-1. I52, 424 90 tons
During the season of 1882. 125, 327 90 tous
During the season of 1898. 125, 81. 90 tons
During the season of 1854. 151 SIS. 90 tons
During the season of 1SS4-5. i 10 153. 90 tons
During the season of 1886. 100 7O5. 90 tons
During the season Of 1867. o.. 166. O7S OS tons
During the season of 1S87-S... pos, 80 tons
During the season Of 1850. 2O2, SC9. ;}6 tons
During the season of 1SS9-90. .2SS, 1920 tons
During the season Of 1S!l0-1 306 1874 90 tons
During the season of 1912. 1876, 342 90 tons
The report goes on To say:
OF the whole amount of fertilizers placed
upon the market during the past season 129-
9S7 tons were ammOniated superphosphateS
So 394 tons were acid phosphates or dissolved
bones, and 1864 tons were cotton seed meal
It is well to remark that those brands which
contain not less than s per cent of available
phosphoric acid and per cent Of ammonia,
are ciassed as ammoniated superphosphates
and those containing less than per cent
ammonia and not less than per cent,1
available phOsphoric acid are cassed as IN
phosphates or dissolved bones.

Colors to Wear and to Avoid.

A blue-eyed person never looks so
.hlue-eyed as in a blue dress or white
with blue cravat, whereas the strong
blue OF the fabric might have been ex-
pected to dim or kill the slight blue of
the eye. A woman with remarka bly,
red lips, clad in dull heliotrope. with
Amethysts, has all the coral taken from
her mouth, which wears instead light
heliotrope tint and with this tint the
pink of her cheek is also touched. An
ordinary or even sallow cheek never
looks so beautifully white as over a
white dress, which seemed to threaten
to darken il. And. beautiful as the
aesthetic" colors were in their day,
they cuenched and dimmed their wear
Frs TO their own tone. This is not to be
easily explained by any known chro-
matte rules Nor can one say why tur-
auois blue darkens dark eyes and adds
10 their brightness. Experiment and
rerifcation should be as much valued
by the women as by the Comtist philos-
opher Tribune.

JAPANESE CHILDREN.

Use of Cows MIX.


Use Of Cows MIX.
Custom and national sentiment would
seem to have made the lives of children
in Japan delightfully."- attractive for
them. Japan has even been described
as the paradise of childhood. One of
the most curious points in this connec-
ton is that the children are always
sucked by their mothers: artificial
lactation is altogether unknown. The
children are sucked until their sixth
year. and in language unmistaka BILE
may be heard asking for the laetatious
fountain. Thus. as no cow milk is re-
Guired. the COW is only used as pack
animal in the cities. In view Of the al
most universal use of cows milk in
other countries. its exclusion from the
diet of the Japanese raises the in

whether or not the race benefits

THE INDIAN DATURA SEED.
q Poison That Is Often Used by Robbers
to Overcome Their Victims.

q Poison That Is Often Used by Robbers
to Overcome Their Victims
It has been remarked that one of the
greatest objections to the suppression
of hemp cultivation for smoking pur-
poses in India is that it would drive the
natives to the use of more dangerous
sedatives. One of the drugs which
the coolie is the most prone to substi-
tute for his beloved hemp, when the
latter is not available, is the datura
seed. For many years it has been
known to the police and those en-
gagged in medico-legal examinations
that one of the favorite methods
adopted by Indian thieves to rob their
victims has been the administering of
hutura The Supplying effects Of this
drug enables them to carry on their
depredations and at the same time to
avoid, in most cases, the fatal results
which attend the use of other poisons
The symptoms present in the individ-
uals affected we're loss of consciousness,
dilation of the pupils, picking at the
bed clothes, attempts to grasp imagin-
Rry objects. and from the movement of
their hands they all appeared to be
drawing out threads from the tips Of
their fingers. When taken on an emp
" stomach the effects of the poison are
usually discernible within ten minutes,
but in the case of a well-nourished per-
Son half an hour or more elapses before
ats effects are perceptible. The rare
ness of fatal cases in connection with
the use ofthis poison is one of the chief
factors in its selection by the native
criminal.
The datura seeds may be gathered
easily purchased in the bazaars; so it
Is hardly to be wondered at that such
convenient instrument for the further
ing of nefarious designs should be SO
popular among the Indian criminal
classes If it is desira bic to render any
particular person helpless for given
time the administration of the datura
is the main difficulty, and this unless
servants arc absolutely trustworthy,
is not insuperable- The period before
consciousness is restored after taking
a dose of the poison varies in different
individuals and is dependent very much
on the state of the health of the victim
al the time it is administered. Thus. in
some cases q complete recovery takes
place in two or three days, or less, while
In others Inconsistencies has been
known to last as -ong as week.
The symptoms exhibited in many
cases resemble those of alcoholic pois-
oning or delirium tremenS. In some in
stances the poisoned persons act under
the belief that they are following their
ordinary occupa tions. For example, in
one case a stonemason's laborer was
under the impression that it was his
duty to haul up everything in his vicin-
ity. not excepting his master: in an
other case a ~room was seized with a
desire To perform grooming operations
on those with whom he came in con-
tact; and third. goldsmith. seated
himself on the floor intent on follow
ing his usual vocation.-P
