Hortorl-Potts

One of the most elaborate
weddings known in the history
Of Opelousas, was that of Miss
Myrtle Potts. a charming young
lady Of this city. and DR.. Charles
Manley Horton, a prominent
physician of Franklin, on Thurs
day 10Th at $50 p. m, in the
Methodist Episcopal Church
South.
Owing to the inelemency OF
the weather many of their friends
were unable to attend, but those
present appreciated the grandeur
of the occasion.
The maid-of-honor and the
brides maids resembling three
beautiful pink rosebuds plucked
from the Garden of Eden pre-
coded the bride to the altar.
When the bride entered the
holy edifce, leaning on the
arm of Mr.. Walters Roberts,
the remark was made that she
resembled a heavenly angel
she did-for she was beautiful.
Little Misses Julia Roberts
and Ruth Brock were the ribbon
bearers.
During the ceremony the
sweet, familiar voice of Mrs. w.
T. Stewart was heard singing 20
Promise Me- and My Dear, =
while Mrs. j. w. Jordon play
ed the organ, Mr.. Crawford the
violin, and MI. Louis White the
flute.
The church was beautifully
decorated with cut flowers and
ferns; there was a large white
wedding bell suspended from an
arch which was erected in front
of the altar, with white satin
ribbon, under which the
happy couple were joined in we'd
lock by Rev. Morgan.
The bride was robed in a
brocaded chameuse gown
trimmed with real lace, and
wore a real lace veil. Her
bouquet was Of bridal roses,
lily-of-the-valIey and fern.
The maid-of-honor Miss Lulu
Smith, of Montgomery City,
Mo-, wore a dress of white lin
gerie. The bridesmaids were
Mrs. Jacobs, Of Fradklin, who
was gowned in a dress of real
lace over chiffon taffeta, and
Miss Eleanor Peterman of Marks
vile, who wore a dress of white
chameron trimmed with rhine
stones and silver ribbon. The
bouquets carried by the brides
were pink camellias and

Of New Orleans, DR.. A.

handsome in their full dress
suits of conventional black and
served gracefully.
After the wedding a reception
was held at the Lacombe Hotel
where many of the friends of
the couple toasted and wished
all the good luck in the
matrimonial sea.
Misses Gladys Perrault and
Boagni served the punch.
The bride was the recipient
of many beautiful presents.
DR.. and Mrs. Charles Manley

for their home in Franklin.

Some readers wish to know
how to go about getting rural
free delivery routes started in
their communities. The first
thing to do is to write the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General,
Washington, .. c.. for informa-
ton and for a free copy of the
required form Of petition ready
for the signatures Of signers.
No neighborhood where it is pos
sible to get rural mail delivery
should be content to get along
without this service. The Pro-

DON'T BURN THE STALKS
AND STRAW.

AND STRAW.
Many times have we called at
tention to the folly of burning
stalk and straw, and we expect
10 do so many times in the fu-
ture: for we believe the fact cam
not be too strongly impressed
that these materials are rich In
hurnus and plant food, and that
to burn them is equivalent to
burning barn yard manure or
even commercial fertilizers.
1T is idle to say that the habit
of burning trash, straw and
stalks on cultivated land is not
common; we know better. Take
d trip between now and the
first of April anywhere through
the South Atlantic and Gulf
States, and almost every other
farm as the bright February and
March days come on, will be
marked by columns Of blue smoke
that denote the cleaning up
of the land, preparatory to plant
ing. Long windrows of corn and
cotton stalks and grass have
been dragged together prepare
tory to burning, leaving the
earth almost as bare as a floor.
Let's figure a little on what we
lose by such practices. Chemists
have found by analysis that
where 800 pounds of lint cotton
is produced the leaves, burs,
roots and stems contain about q
pounds of nitrogen, worth at
current retail prices S4.60. Nj
trogel is by far the most expen-
siye fertilizing element we have
to buy and it also is the element
OF value that is lost when the
material is burned. Again, take
the case of cornstalks. Where
40 bushels Of corn has been grown
there will be about Is pounds OF
nitrogen in the stalks and fod-
der. This too, worth $500 is
lost when the stalks are burned.
Summarizing a bit, let US see
how much the two-horse farmer,
for instance, the man with 20
acres each of cotton and corn,
loses when he burns the stalks
and trash off his entire 40 acres.
We will assume that he makes
200 pounds of lint and 20 bushels
of corn to the acre-a fine ave-
rage for the stalk burning type
of farmer. Burning his cotton
stalks, leaves and burs, he would
lose a fraction more than $50
from the 20 acres; while from
his 20 acres of corn, burning the
stalks and fodder, the loss would
amount to S332. To this 81 loss
OF nitrogen must be added the
loss of vegetable mattef-hurnus
and SO much needed. and which.
# plowed under, would be as val
liable in increasing yields as the
nitrogen destroyed. In other
words, such a farmer loses al
most $500 a year by such prac-
tices; but, to be conservative. let
US cut it in two. and say S100.
We don't know how many Pro-
gressive Farmer readers this
hits-not many, we hope. But
the fact remains that we are US
Ing fire too carelessly and gene
rally on our farms. A far better
practice is to pillow under early
everything smaller than actual
logs.
When our lands are crying for
furnns and plant food, what shall

HOW TO GET A FREE
TRAVELLING LIBRARY.

Thirty American states have
free travelling libraries, but Ten.
nessee, Virginia and North Caro-,
lima are the only three in the
South which offer these advan.
tages to their country people.
Our North Carolina readers who
wish to get travelling libraries
for their neighborhoods should
write State Library Commission,
Raleigh; Virginia readers should
address Library Commission,
Richmond, Va; Tennessee read
ers should address Library Com
mission, State Capitol, Nash
vile.
As for our readers who live in
other Southern States, the best
thing for them to do is TO write
their members of the Legislature
and demand that provision be
made for giving them travelling
Libraries.
The North Carolina Commits
sion makes the announcement
that it has special collections on
the following subjects? The
South" The Woman Move
ment," and Agriculture and
Country Life" A group of six
or ten books on any of these sub
iects will be loaned to a club,
society Of Local Farmers Union
for a period Of two months, or
single volumes will be loaned to
