1t is understood that the negotiations
now under way were initiated some

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nOunced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

Results OF fertilizinx
Naxoo Mississippi Delta Branch Ex-
perirnental Station, Assistant
Directors Office

Greenville, Miss Feb. 70, 1907.
Mr.. Walter Clark,
Miss. Div. Southern Cotton As
ISOLATION, Clarksda1e, Miss.
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of
this date requesting results of fertili-
ger experiments at the Delta Station
during the past year, will say that the
land used in this test was the well
drained sandy loan so common to
the Delta. This land has been in
cotton, so far as I can learn, for thir-
~ years or more.
Nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash were used alone and in different
combinations and in different guam
titles.
Nitrogen, both in the forms of cot
ton seed meal and dried blood, made
a material increase in the yield. Four
hundred pounds of cotton seed meal
per acre made an increase of $50 lbs.
of seed cotton over the adjacent plot,
where no fertilizer was used. In
other words, by the use of SIS worth
of fertilizer an increase of $2o.s5 per
acre was made, valuing the lint at
ten cents per pound and the seed at
$500 per ton.
Our results last year indicate that
this character of Delta soil is well
supplied with the mineral elements
but lacks nitrogen These lands are.
therefore, easy to improve and keep
fertile. A crop of cow peas. red
clover or alfalfa would supply all the
fertilizer needed and all of these
crops grow here most luxuriously.
For lands that have not grown a
ieguminous crop, cotton seed meal
or cotton seed will be sufficient.
When seed sells for less than SI2.oo
per ton II will pay to use the seed.
The above applies to the light
lands. Our experience last year with
commercial fertilizers on buck-shot
soil was negative Neither element
nor any combination of the three
made any increase III the crop; how
ever there were some uufavorab1e
conditions connected with the trial
on the black lands. This experiment
will be carefully repeated this year
| will add that the yield of lint
cotton on the station was 24o56 lbs
on 50 acres, which is satisfactory
considering the loss from the storms
and the unimproved state of the land
The station has the following for
age crops growing satisfactorily now
alfalfa, red clover, wheat, oats, bar
ley and rye, and also three acres OF
Dwarf Essex Rape, which has been
grazed by so head of hogs and pigs
since Nov. Ist, and which promises
to carry them until red clover and
wheat are ready in March. I will be
very glad to have farmers visit the
station and see what is being done
Yours truly,
J. w FOX.
