FEEDING COTTON.
The Views of Montgomery Farmer
 on the Subject

on Cue 0uUJcCt'
 The following letter to MT. w. A. Gayle of this city has been handed to The Advertiser for publications:
 Naftel, Ala, Aprl 2, 1902
 Dear Sir-In replay to your request for my opinion in regard to feeding cotton as 1t is cultivated, will say. I fully agree with you, that the feeding of cottop lis q pertinent question" especially at this time after so many have been prevented bv bad roads and bad weather from put ting out fertilizers. Many years ago l began to feed my cotton as it grew and the longer I practice it. the better l like It. I've no doubt, ere ten years shall have passed, but the farmer. who does not feed his cotton, will be the excep- tion, instead of the rule as now
 A little common sense applied to the subject will show the mistake made in not feeding Young cotton, like a young animal needs but little food. If it requires five bushels of corn and fifty gallons of water to fatten a pig it would be foolish to put it all in the pen at once but reason teaches the wiser plan of feeding and watering the pig as he needs it from day to day so likewise, I think it the economical and the wiser way Is to feed the young plants as they may need food. When the whole amount of fertilizer is put out before the crop is planted, it not unfrequently occurs that overfows and heavy rains come and wash away large part of 1t before seed is rut in the soil so if tw>-thit ds of it had been -aved to feed on after the crop was up and growing. that much would have been saved and utilized hy the cotton plants. I have found that feeding at the second and third blowing pushes the plants on faster than any way l have yet tried. Keeping the land in perfect tilth soft. and mellow. free from weeds

FOUND FLOATING IN RIVER
Two Negroes Found Body Six
 Miles South of City.
Believed to Be Aged Negro Servant Who Disappeared Two Months. Ago-Coroner Tice Will
 Investigate Today.

The body of a woman was found in the Alabama River yesterday opposite the Charlotte Thompson place about six miles below Montgomery.
 The body is supposed to be that of Nancy Emory. an old negro woman who disappeared from Rev. Stokes Church in this city on Sunday February ?.
 George Hubbard and another negro fisherman. were rowing across the river yesterday when they observed something floating in the water. On investigation they found it to be the body of a wo-- man. They lowed the body to shore and tied one end of rope around one Of the limbs and the other end to tree itnd matter to the police department and Chief Gerald notified Coroner Tice, who will hold an inquest this morning.
 The negroes who found the body said 1t was evidently that of negro woman. There was very little clothing on the body the only piece not torn being that of a corset.
 Nancy Emory was an old-time negro servant about 50 years of age and had been a nurse in the family of the late Alex Bell since she was a young girl. She had nursed three generations of children and the family was much at tached to her. They were greatly dis tressed at her disappearance and offered . reward for any news of her.
 For number of years Nancy Emory had made her home with Miss Annie Bell She had been subject to epieptic attacks and had been unable to do any work, but q home was gladly furnished her on ac- count of her past services to the family. Sunday night February ,, she attended services at Pastor Stokes's Church. Du- ring the services she was seized with an epileptic attack and was carried out of the church. She soon recovered and re- turned to her seat Since that time she has not been seen.
 The husband of Nancy Emory had been separated from her for several years He had been living with another woman, whom he told that his wife was in an asylum Several days before her disap- pearance this woman learned that Nancy Emory was living in Montgomery. and on this account Emory had some trouble with the woman. His xife's disappear ance coming soon afterwards threw some suspicion upon him and he was arrested and held in the police barracks for sev- eraI days pending an investigation. As nothing concerning the whereabouts of the woman was learned and no evidence sufficient to justify the holding of the man was discovered he was released.
 The fact that no case of missing woman has been reported either on the Alabama River or its tributaries lends color to the belief that the body found yesterday is that of Nancy Emory.
 The negroes who found the body made no investiga tion, preferriag that this should be done by the officers of the law,

Frequent and shallow blowing is the secret to successful cotton making Flowing cotton just before 1t needs it. never hurts it, it is the blowing 1t after 1t needs it. does it the most injury.

 believe 100 pounds fed to the crop in May, would do more good than 20 pounds put on before planting, as is now commonly done No farmer should use
 less than 400 pounds per acre, and more would no doubt be more profitable.
 The day of feeding crops is coming apace, and I rejoice to see the vision so clearly ir my mind.
 Farmers are slow to move cut of the ways of their fathers. hence better way must be marked out and made plain by actual experiment and experience be- fore the masses will change their farming operations Fields grooming under the burden of heavy ears of corn. and cot ton patches. whose stalks are filled to the tip end of the limbs with full grown cotton bolls is what the thrifty farmer is looking for and his desire will be gratified when he learns the scierce Of feeding as it is soon to be developed and put into practice all over the Sunny Southland If had the ear of the farmers of my l.l,, to feed their crops and quit putting. down all their costly fertilizers at once, and thus always losing more or less of | it. under the most favorable --circu'n- stances.
 Take one-half the land. double the fer. 1 tilizer and double the work and feed tho | plants as they grow and need it and my | word for it more will be made, and made l easier than by the old way.
