AUTOMOBILE WINS
RACE WITH DEATH

NEW YORK. June 2S.-Bearing an
etherized man from South Norwalk'
Conn. to this city for an operation for
appendicitis, an automobile was driven
was the AZ miles between the two cities
last night In scarcely more than that
number of minutes. The patient, Norton
B. Leo, was operated upon successfully
upon his arrival early this morning and
is rallying finely
Mr.. Leo was taken suddenly III at his
summer home in South Norwalk and his
father insisted that he be taken to New
York for the indicated operation.
The South Norwalk physicians declared
the trip would be fatal, but their obJec-
tons were overruled. The patient was
then placed upder the influence of the
anesthetic and kept under 1t during the
trip to this city.

that 1t cannot be done, but 1T is more
difficult to prepare land for cotton when
blowing under a cover crop than for
corn since the corn may be planted much
later tina nthe cotton. BY all means use
a cover crop on your cotton land, and II
possible, begin a systematic rotation OF
crops. You can also grow Velvet beans
on the land for hay or plow under for
enrichment and put it in ideal condition
for cropping in corn or cotton the next
year.
MANAGEMENT OF A MELON CROP.
W. A c., Powerville, Ga, writes; l
have ten acres planted to melons on
which used 1000 pounds of suano per
acre. Will use 100 pounds of soda per
acre on them. The vines are about two
feet long; will lay by next week. When
is the proper time to apply nitrate to
them?
It would probably be best to apply a
small amount of nitrate of soda to your
melon vines at an early date so as to
stimulate growth unless the vines are
larger than you desire, and put the bal
ance on when they begin to set on fruit.
Frequent light applications of soda to
such crops as melons are more likely to
application The nitrate should be put rel
atively near to the hill, but not on the
vines. Scatter a handful on the surface
of the ground IN the vicinity of each
hin. This is ordinarily the best method
of application to follow, but in an un-
usually dry season such as this, 1t Is
best to cover 1t lightly. Applications of
nitrate made after the first of July IL
the season happens to be at all wet may
tend to stimulate growth somewhat at
the expense of fruit.
FOOD CONTENT OF A GIVEN FER
TILIZER FORMULA.
w. A, W., Sylvester, Ca, writes; l
have a piece of fourth year new ground
that 1 planted to cotton last year. It is
gray sandy loan with yellow clay sub
soil broke II up with two-horse plow
in the winter, and have applied 200
pounds of 10 per cent acid and 200
pounds of high-grade cotton seed meal
and 100 pounds of muriate OF potash I'M
der the drill. What Is the analysis or
this mixture? Do you think nitrate of So
da would be OF any benefit? The cot
ton is about knee high and planted in
four-foot rows.
The formula applied to your cotton
would supply each acre with about 1913
pounds of nitrogen, 20 pounds of phos-
phoric acid and SO pounds of potash. The
percentage composition would be SIS per
cent of phosphoric acid, 2.46 per cent OF
nitrogen and 10.6 per cent of potash. This
formula contains a fair amount of nitro
gen, but is low in phosphorus and some
what high in potash. A better formula
in our Judgment would be 10 per cent Of
phosphorus, per cent of nitrogen and
per cent of potash. If your cotton is
now growing vigorously and has made a
stalk Of the character indicated i'm your
letter, it is hardly necessary to apply
nitrate of soda as a top dressing which
might further tend to stimulate the
growth of stalk a THE expense of fruit
and seed. As matter of fact, you can

your soil should have in larger quantities

plant with the material needed to cause
the largest amount of fruiting.

list for such events, the features Of
which at least two members of the

referred as follow:
"a classy bunch of young ath-

scholastic track and field meet, Civ

a clean, hard-earned one. The fea-

DeHaven of Grangeville, who took
the mile and the half-mile runs. the
former being the classic Of the
meet. And it was a great race, re-
sulting in the lowering Of the track
record by many seconds. Stellmon
of Nezperce took the lead at the
fash of the shot, and set a heart
breaking pace for three-quarters Of
mile, that plainly distressed the
group. DeHaven was running in
third place at that point and Case Of
Culdesac was crowding up pretty
close. Here the shot had just been
fred for the last lap, and the crowd
broke into EXPLANATIONS of surprise,
when DeHaven darted around the
outside, seemingly with the speed Of
a man just off the scratch for So
yard dash. He fitted by Case and

Who was still running strong. The

vas approached he pulled away tc
victory. Stellmon had won a great
race, but the limit had been played,
and he dropped back, giving second
place to Case. DeHaven had run
the mile in sos Is, while the pre-
vious record was 5:16.
