The rust of Cotton may he due to an
attack Of the red spider We Judge
from what you say that you have that
species of rust which is caused by the
lack OF some element required by the
plant for it's proper nutrition. When this
condition prevails the rust is thought to
be due to one of three things: either to
lack of drainage, deficiency in potash, or
the exhaustion of humus. Under the cir
cumstances we would first be disposed to
make an application of kainit or muriate
of potash. 1t would have been better
had this been done earlier in the season,
but in view of the damage you appear to
be suffering, it will not be improper to
make il now. Two hundred pounds of
kainit or 80 pounds of muriate Of potash
should be applied per acre because it has
been shown that rust can frequently be
checked or obviated altogether where
potash is used IN liberal amounts This
would indicate that on many of our lands
potash is not in an available form, or has
not been supplied in sufficient amount
in commercial fertilizers used to meet the
needs OF the growing crops. Turning I'M
der green crops or using yard manure so
as to increase the supply of vegetable
matter has proven helpful in controll-
ing rust, and of course, where land is now
and improperly drained. ditching or thing
will be necessary to control this trouble.

NEW YORK CITY FACES
FAMINE IN SUGAR

NEW YORK, July S0.-New York city
faces a sugar famine today as a result
of the strike at the Williamsburg plant
of the American Sugar Refining com
pany. For nearly a week the company
has been unable to make its usual de-
liveries to retailers and the supply Of
many stores. restaurants and bakeries is
practically exhausted.
Another famine which threatens the
metropolis is in several popular brands
of tobacco. The shortage arose from the
new revenue law, imposing on manufac-
turers many changes in the styles Of
packing.

They will know how to manipulate and

II would be rather remarkable to ind
sample of limestone rock containing as
much as 1914 per cent OF carbonate OF
lime unless IL has been purified by some
special process, which would make IL
rather costly product. If complete anal
ysis OF the material to which you reter
were furnished. I'VE could tell you then
better OF its value. The sample enclosed
is somewhat dark in color. which leads
us to think II must have been mixed
with a little of the kiln ashes or some
other material to darken it. For agricul-
tural purposes ground limestone will give
YOU much better results than the lime
which contains the small screenings and
pieces of unbroken rock. Where the raw
or unburned rock is used, its benefit
and quickness of action is determined by
the fineness with which IL Is ground.
Therefore, though IL costs more per
ton ii should be the cheapest in the long
run because of its mechanical condition
and the size of the particles Of which 1t
is composed.
We have had excellent results on the
college farm this year from the use Of
caustic lime at the rate of one ton per
acre. When applied to corn land, II
seems to have been efficient in checking
the growth OF weeds. and controlling GER
tain insects which have injured the other
plats TO a considerable extent We have
had excellent results in a comparative
test OF lining and non-liming In connec-
ton with the use of acid phosphate.
Where the lime and acid phosphate were
used together, the corn is extraordinarily
fine. Where the acid phosphate alone
were used, the stand and the general
appearance Of the crop are not so good at
this time. OF course, it will take some
years to determine from these tests just
what the best policy for the farmer to
pursue may be. but they are interesting
as at least indicating that the use OF
lime on some of our Georgia lands is
likely TO prove profitable. We have used
no raw rock up to this time, believing
that as our soils contain such a COM
paratively small amount OF vegetable
matter We can not. hope for as good re-
suits from IT as from the burned rock
which is more active.
NITRATE OF SODA AS A TOP DRESS

The advisability of using nitrate of soda
as a top dressing for cotton will depend
very much on the condition OF the plants
at this season. Six hundred pounds of

AV{ATORS ARE PILING
UP NEW RECORDS
Birdboy Flies 90 Minutes at
Rate of 90 Miles an Hour

PARIS, May 2S.-R scords of avfators
have been falling fast in the last few
days. Paulhan's record for altitude of
$500 feet made at Verona follows
quickly upon the heels of the cross
country flights of Roger Sommer and
Jacques de Lesseps.
Robert Martinez, who is one of the
youngest aviators and only got his
pilot license few months ago, started
from Chalons with the daring intention
of arriving in Paris and alighting on
the Place de la Concorde. He was only
prevented from success by inexperience.
Fearing he had lost his way. he alight-
ed rather than cross the forest, because
lie did not know how much gasoline he
had left. As it was he flew for so
minutes at more than 60 miles an hour,
which constitutes another record.
Martinez landed near Tournap, which
is 81 miles from Chalons and only 20
miles from Paris This is the fastest
time in which such distance has ever
been covered in the air. He says he
has not abandoned the intention to fly
to Paris, alighting on the Place de la
Concorde. 1t will be very hazardous
feat, for that thoroughfare is never at
any hour of. the day or night free from
vehicles or pedestrians.
In spite of these remarkable records,
aviators believe that they will not
stand long Dubonnet, who recently
few over Paris, tells The Call corre-
spondent that he believes aeroplanes
will travel 80 miles an hour within a
very few months, while De Lesseps,
since his recent cross channel flight.
said that it would be easily possible in
an aeroplane to ascend 5000 feet. While
crossing the channel he was most of the
time at an elevation of 2,400 feet.

Browns note.

Smith became fast friends. About this
time Smith and his new friend chanced
to meet upon the street their mutual
friend Brown. greeted him warmly and
entered into conversation. Soon he
noted that neither Brown nor Green
displayed the slightest sign OF recog-

WIDOW FASCINATES
BROTHER OF DUKE
Mrs. Miller Graham of San
Francisco Attracts Atten-
ti0ns From Nobleman
[Sseciul Gable to The CALI

+. LONDON, May 2S.-Lord Robert Os-
born Innes-Ker is said to be despsr-
ately smitten with Mrs. Miller Graham,
fascinating widow from San Fran
cisco. who makes her home here. She
is reputed to be worth a million or
more.
Lord Robert is a younger brother
OF the duke of Roxburghe who married
May Goelet OF New York. but must not
be confused with the dukes other
brother of similar given name, Lord
Alastir Robert InneS-Ker. who married
Anne Breeze, also of New York, about
three years ago. When the young Lord
Robert went to America last fall the
society gossips said that he was in
search of a wife. but his friends de-
clare that he has found his ideal nearer
home.
Mrs. Miller Graham rents Lord Nun
burnholme's house in Grosvenor square
and entertains sumptuously. For sew
eral years she enjoyed social success
in the kings set She was presented
at court in February, two years ago,
and was the guest of King Edward at
Marienbad last season. She has a son
and a daughter. both small.
Novelty always and sometimes sensa-
tions have characterized her entertain
ments. for she is gifted as a hostess.
Once at a dance Mrs. Graham had an
immense watermelon rolled into the
ballroom.
With much ceremony a gigantic knife
was brought forth. the melon cut. and
out rolled a piekaninny, a London
specimen, sad TO relate, who flung fiow-
ers at the dancers.
In the second figure of the dance
Russian sleigh with all the parapher-
MALTA of snowy northern cline was
drawn into the room by six COssacks.
Two girls sat in the sleigh and the
eight figures joined in a Russian dance
and subsequently distributed Russian
gifts to the guests.
