The results SO far seem to- justi-
fy the following conclusions:
I. Every row of corn should be
planted in peas, bne and one-half
busnel per acre, at the last working.
Notwithstanding the high price of
seed, the peas may be expected to
return a net profit OF twice the rental
value of the land in fertility available
for the succeeding cotton crop
q More corn should be planted.
Considering the fertilizing value of
the peas the corn crop can be made
as profitable as cotton, provided the
corn land is properly prepared and
cultivated, and a good native var
iety of the seed is used.
3. Four hundred pounds of cotton
seed meal per acre used under cot
ton on the old sand loan lands may
be expected to return a net profit OF
from 81 to $40 per acre, provided a
good variety OF cotton IS grown and
the land is properly worked.
d. 1t would not be advisable to
invest largely in a mixed fertilizer
containing phosphate, acid and pot
ash. 1t Would not be advisable for
the planter to test such corri1ne rcial
fertilizer on a small area, comparing
its effect with that of cotton seed
meal
s. Cotton Seed meal APPLIED to- corn
may be expected to give as great a
percentage of increase as it does
with cotton. but the value OF the in
crease will not be so great with the
former as with the latter.
s. We advise the trial, on small
area. OF cotton seed meal on old
buckshot lands, provided they are
we'll drained.
1t will not be anliss to state that
the results of our two years work
at the Delta Station justifies the
most favorable reports in regard to
the fertility of Delta soil. We made
last year o5 $500 pounds bales OF
cotton on 90 acres, 1000 bushels OF
corn on 40 acres, without fertilizer,
and IS bushels of corn On one
fortified acre, nearly four tons Of
alfalfa hay per acre, over three tons
OF red clover hay per acre, nearly
four tons of fall sown oats followed
BY COW pea hay per acre. These
Yields do not represent the capacity
of the land when it IS improved.
This is the beginning We expect
to report, in a few days, on the va
rieties Of cotton and corn and, later
on the method sof preparing the land
and cultivatins uhc crops.

The Well Gowned Woman.

Black and hunters green broad
cloth tailormades with Louis Four
teenth coats having big side pockets
and waistcoats OF soft toned brocade
arc in high favor for afternoon visit
ing costumes. Silks have retired to
their legitimate field as gown mater
ial and have practically left the realm
OF tailormades TO wolen fabrics. AT
its best silk is not a practical ater-
ial for street costumes, and is not adj
apted to the strenuous office that a
tailormade is supposed 10 occupy
The trig little walking suit Of dur
able wool is welcome revival TO
most women and for this reason
it has its old place of daytime rse. OF
the approved woolens, plain and strip
ed serges, broadcloth and English
worsteds are being employed in
some of the most attractive. Tailor
mades.
The evening scarf is more popular
than ever It has come out in hand
painted chiffon and mousseline EN-
broidered with gold. For mid~winter
wear there is new idea that will ap.
peal to the woman who enjoys go
ing to the theatre sans chapeau This
particular scarf is fashioned Of cham
ois skin deliberately embroidered
with coarse silk threads and gold or
silver. and lined with white or col
pred kid.
