Captain Wilson and wife, of the
Salvation Army, have gone to Las
Vegas, N. NJ, where they will open
up new work. The post at this point
has been abandoned and all parapher-
MALTA has been shipped to Denver.
This is not very profitable field
for workers of the Salvation Army.
Captain Wilson was here six months
and up to the time of leaving had re-
ceived through contributions, an
amount that left him a surplus of
barely $3.50 after he had paid his
living expenses and bought transpor-
tation to Las Vegas for himself, wife
and boy. The captain and his good
wife leave many friends in Central
who hope that their work in the
New Mexico City will be more gen.
orally appreciated than it was here.

Farmer. seIIIno cotton Seed.

Huntsville, October Especial. 1.-The
cotton oil mills of this city are beginning
to receive quite a large amount of seed
for their seasons run, and they will be-
gin operations about the middle of Oc-
tober. Like the cotton crop of this section
the seed Is coming in from 10 days to
two weeks late, and the quantity received
so far is much smaller than the re-
ceipts to this time last year. Oil men ex-
pect the receipts to jump higher and con-
tinue brisk until the supply is exhausted
because local conditions for allowing seed
to accumulate are unfavorable while last
year the planters found that they could
keep their seed a long time.

,ated TO the general of that name, pro-
pounds a doctrine that should be known
to every farmer In the south. He declares
that commercial fertilizer has never PAID
81 for the cotton planter and produces ar
gument to prove his position.
He said: '~rhe cotton planters of the
south receive about the same amount in
money for the cotton crop be the crop
large or small. II the crop is short he re-
ceives a higher price per pound. If 1t Is
large he receives a cheaper price per
pound. The total Is about the same. By
the use of commercial fertilizer the vol
ume of production may be Increased but
the price Is lowered. Without the use
of fertilizer the crop may be less but the
planter receives the same amount in
money. 1t can be easily figured that the
millions of dollars spent for fertilizer is
lost
Homemade Fertilizer.
Now 1 would not discourage the use Of
fertilizer, but it should be made at home.
No farm can be conducted successfully
without plenty of stock, including hogs
and cattle. Buy the phosphate in its nat
ural state and make your own compost
at home This is the finest fertilizer in
the world when used properly By this
method the cotton planter increases his
production and puts the cost or CONNER
cial fertilizer on the profit side OF his
ledger.
"Plenty of stock on the farm increases
the value and fertility of the farm and
also enables the planter to make his food
