during the past year. This amount
of the mineral fertiliging constit-
uents, of course, should be returned
each year, to the soil in some suita-
BILE available form.
Amount of Fertility in One Bale of Cotton.
The value of the fertilizing con-
stituents in a bale 600 pounds) of
hint cotton when using the valuations
designated above will, on IN average,
be about forty cents. From this. it
is seen that the removal of seed from
the farm is over eight times as ex-
haustive of the fertility of a soil as
the selling off of the lint alone. Most
of the substances contained in the
lint are taken by the cotton plant
from the air and hence are always
supplied to the growing plants in
the greatest abundance and without
cost to the farmer either for the
supplying or getting.

TO THE COTTON GROWERS.
Letter from Colonel Cunningham, Pres
ident North Carolina Division.

To the Cotton Growers and Business
Mems Association of North Caro-,
lima.
Gentlemen:-I urge upon all cot
ton growers and business men of
North Carolina to unite and use
their best endeavors to carry out the
resolutions adopted at, the meeting
held in the city of New Orleans.
1t Is important for each cotton
growing State to cooperate, and for
the farmers to reduce their cotton
acreage, to grow their supplies upoD
the farm and to follow the resolu-
tions adopted by the large body of
representative cotton growers and
business men from all over the
South.
The solution of this question is.
first to grow our supplies on the
farm and then to raise cotton as a
money crop. By this method our peo-
pie will be enabled to hold their cot
ton when prices are too low to iusti-
fly them in putting it on the market.
The cotton growers have accom-
plished a great deal by their prompt
action and united efforts when COM
binations were formed to put the
price to five cents per pound. The
king of the bears had published to
the world that cotton would sell for
five cents per pound.
Permanent organization will be of
untold value to our farmers in North
Carolina and the South. Let us rea-
son together. and stand together, and
it will result in the greatest benefit
not only to the cotton growers. but
to each and every interest of u
entire country.
Yours very truly,
JOHN S. CUNNINGHAM,
President North Carolina Division
Southern Cotton Association.

tests as to associated and antagonis-
tic characteristics of cotton.
Antagonistic characteristics.
Cd Earliness in maturity is not
generally conclusive to large yields,
although in areas where a short
growing period is afforded, the ear
lier maturing varieties often give the
greater yields (but these are not US
ually large) as is shown by Kings
Improved which, during the past two
years, has proven the most prolific
of seed cotton at the Statesville
farm, where the growing period for
cotton, during an average season, is
comparatively short. o.. Late ma
turing varieties do not, as a rule,
produce seed cotton that yields a
high percentage of lint, although the
number of pounds of lint per acre
may be large. 60 Varieties that
have large seed generally yield a
small percentage of lint to seed. (4)
Small boiled varieties are not usual
" easily picked and hence are unpop-
ular with pickers.
Associated characteristics.
% Varieties that mature early
tend to the production of seed cotton
that contains a high percentage of
lint to seed. (2) Varieties with short
staple usually have a high percent
age of lint and vice versa. (3) Va
rieties with large bOlls generally have
large seed and small percentage of
lint to seed. ca The larger the yield
of seed cotton per acre, through
proper fertilization or favorable sea-
sonal conditions or both, the lower
the percentage of lint to seed. even
with the same variety. 60 Good
root and leaf development of a va
riety tend to increased power of re-
sistance to drought and insect and
disease ravageS.
Amount OF Fertility I'm One Ton of Cotton
Seed.
BY giving the ~fertilizing consti-
tuents contained In cotton seed the
same valuation that was assigned
them in unmixed ~fertilizing mate
rials during the past year. one ton of
cotton seed will be worth $13.15 COM
percially, as a fertilizing substance.
This amount represents the value of

other suitable heterogeneous fertiliz-
ing material should be returned to

material is advised because over SO

When the whole plants or the vines

Keep Out of Press Box.

When the Pretzels open at Athletic Park tomorrow the rule that only a telegraph operator. the official scorer and one representative from the three local papers will be allowed in the press box will be observed.
 The press box this season is more conveniently placed than it has ever been since Montgomery has known baseball. It is only large enough, how ever, for the five persons mentioned, and the rule of allowing only the work box is made absolutely essential by the paucity of room.
 The following from a New Orleans paper along that line is of interest:
 "They are having great, times over in Slagtown among the scribes, according to The Birmingham Ledger, which says: There is a recent ruling made by some one, though the author IS keep venting only the three baseball writers in the city from getting in the press box. That compartment Is for news paper men. The rule Is therefore the man who cannot keep the score therein should get out if the crowd worries him.
 "The rule is a good one and should be iting scribes and working reporters should be allowed in the press box. This is the rue all over the country and is enforced except in the benight- ed village of Slagtown, where IL IS the custom for every newspaper ln town to try and push into the 2x4 coop that they call a press box. When in there they proceed to make life miserable for Der the scribes of New Orleans had an experience of one :rning in the. so- called press stand. It was enough to last forever.

Tickets for Ladies.

Tomorrow will witness not only the opening game in Montgomery. but the first ladies' day of the local season as well. There will be no free ladies. day this year, the ladies season tickets oe- ing substituted as was the case last year when the little red tickets gave such general satisfaction.
 Evidently the ladies dc not fully ap- precilta the great advantage in hold ing one of u ese red tickets, as the ticket, in addition to admitting the holder to grounds and grand stand on Tuesday and Friday, admits them to the grand stand on Monday, Wednes- day, Thursday and Saturday as we'll In other words, it gives them the entree to the grand stand every day in the week. This arrangement enables a lady to witness a game every day If she cares to for 25 cents and on Tues- grounds and grand stand.
 A lady not holding one of these tick cts would have to pay 50 cents for every game she attended. and as there are only a limited number of ladies tickets 1t would be wise for the fair fans to get one as early as possible.
