Fertility Removed BY the Cotton Gre

Fertility Removed by the Cotton Crop
R. s. s., Memphis, Tenn, writes:
Please give me the amount and value
of the elements of fertility consumed
by the cotton crop from an acre Of
soil.
Answer: When cotton yields about
1867 pounds of lint per acre, which
is not far from the average yield, the
sale of the lint removes from each
acre Of land forty-nine pounds Of MI
trogen, twelve pounds Of phosphoric
acid, and 1.1S pounds of potash. AS
there are about two pounds of seed
produced for each pound of lint per
acre, we would have yield Of 653.34
pounds Of seed cotton. This seed cot
ton If sold from the farm would re-
move 1885 pounds of nitrogen, go
pounds of phosphoric acid and Al
pounds OF potash; the total amount Of
plant food removed per acre would
then be 11.34 pounds Of nitrogen,
3.72 pounds of phosphoric acid and
5.23 pounds of potash. A yield Of
ohO D"lS pei nClS1 VI oUOuI I"O anu
half times the average yield, would
remove 1886 pounds Of nitrogen,
$40 pounds Of phosphoric acid, and
1907 pounds of potash from each
acre of land. If our farmers would
be taught to feed the cotton seed
meal at home and feed it, we would
not experience SO much difficulty in
maintaining the fertility Of our lands.

teen and she settled with her folks
in South Bend. Here she was mar
ried to John G. Roberts who died in
Andersonville prison in 1864. Three
children were born from this marriage
namely, Mrs. Lizzie Espenson, Mrs
Maggie Jones and Mary, the latter
having died many years ago. In 1866
she was married to John Rees of Cam
bria where she spent her remaining
days. Six children were born from this
marriage, namely, Mrs. Emma Espen-
son, Mrs. Nellie Edwards, Mrs. Kate
Davis, Annie, Esther and Willie. The
three latter still remain at home.

SMITH is TO BE SENTENCED
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

Frank Smith is to receive his sen
tence for murder i'll the first degree
next Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock
This was arranged this afternoon al
a conference between Judge Pau ant
County Attorney Plymat. The pro
nouncing of sentence will not be in
terfered with by the motion for new
trial.
A. L. Knapp this AFTERNOON applied
TO Judge Pfau for permission to pleat
guilty and receive his sentence for at
tempting forgery, and the court de
cided to take the matter up tomorrow
after he has had time to consult The
law.
Called the Calendar.
Judge Pau called the calendar thi:
afternoon, to see in what order The
jury cases will he tried. 1t is ex
pccted that court will be in session
until the February term begins, ant
even then the business of the pres
ent term will probably not be dis
posed of before the new term begins
The fact that there were fifty jury
cases for trial aside from the murder
cases alone make the term an un
usual one.
Judge Pau returned from ST. James
after putting in three days trying a
ditch case. Fifty witnesses were sum,
moned, more than half of whom testi-
fled. The attorneys are coming to
Mankato Saturday to argue the case.
Why Different Charge Was Made.
Judge Pau stated this afternoon that
there has been considerable comment
as to why he charged the Smith jury
that it could find verdict for muir.
der in the second degree, and did moi
do so in the Mrs. Ledbeter case He said
that the reason for this was that in
Smiths case there was some testimony
that might lead to the belief that tha
chine was committed in the barn in
the heat of passion. This was in the
testimony of Deputy Sheriff Klugherz
who testified that Mr.. Smith one day
told him that he and Iedbetcr had a
quarrel in the barn and that he had
killed him. Smith took this statement
back almost as soon as he had said it,
but it was in the case, and entitled
the jury to the option of first or Sec
ond degree. In Mrs. Ledbeter's case
there was no evidence that the crime
might have been done one the spur
of the moment. If she did it, she did
it with generalization, in which case
she could only be found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree.
