$3.50 for largest yield of cotton.
1896 pounds Of lint on one acre
j. E. Culpepper, Of Carroll county.
Georgia, second prize ($1OO). for
1889 pounds of lint on one acre
The prizes were offered by American
Cynamid Company, whose fertilizer
ammoniate is made from atmospheric
nitrogen by electricity at Niagara
rails. Here is Mr.. Deese's method
of cultivation ard fertilization:

deep with two-horse plow on Febru-
airy l, rebreaking it about 80 days
later in order to thoroughly DuIver-
'%e the soil. About April 10 laid

shovel. In this furrow I put 16 per
cent acid phosphate at the rate of

pounds of 1922 cynamid mixed
blood guano. In same furrow | ran

springs on planter instead Of board.

as cotton had been up about 10 davs

1 feet in drill. After this | plowed
It every week, using scrape and
small shovel, till after July, being
careful to keep it perfectly clean of
grass, weeds, etc. During the latter
part Of June | applied 200 pounds

Foolish Advice About Farming.
(Southern Farming.(

Congressman Heflin, Of Alabama,
recently made the statement that he
expected to see cotton sell at 20 cents
this coming winter. or all the ridic-
ulously absurd statements that ever
came from the mouth Of a supposedly
intelligent man, this is the climax
How any man with a thimbleful of
sense can make such a statement is
more than we can understand. 1t is
an absolute and positive fact that
there are several million bales Of sur
plus cotton in the United States at
present, and this years crop added to
that, even though the coming crop
may be small, makes it absurd to
talk about such a price.
That statement, coming from a
Congressman, attracts more attention
than If it came from private citizen
and If any attention is paid to it,
harm may result. We warn our
readers to put absolutely no stock in
such fool statements.
The man who plants cotton this
spring with the expectation of getting
20 cents & pound for it next winter.
would better go on to South Africa
and shoot elephants with a popgun
He will come just as near killing the
elephant as he will getting 20 cents
pound for his cotton next winter.

MOST DEADLY MACHINE GUN.
The Belgian "Rattlesnake" Is the In
ventiOn of An American.

That gun-the Belgian rattle
snake" as it came to be called on
the firing line, because Of it's deadly
rattle in aCtion-is an American gun,
says Leslie's Weekly. 1t is the in
ventiOn Of retired United States
army officer. 1t is the most fero-
cious small death machine ever
known, and yet one man can carry
and operate it.
Two years ago Col. Isaac Newton
Lewis, U. S. n, retired, late of the
United States Coast Artillery, offered
his invention on an automatic air
cooled machine gun to the United
States government, and it was tried
out by United States aerial war craft
in an official test at College Park, Md.
Rear Admiral Frank f. Fletcher,
U. S. N, then chief Of naval ordnance,
made the observation that 1000 Of
these air craft could be purchased
and equipped with the new machine
gun for the price Of a single battle
ship.
And this was the verdict Of Brig.
Gen. Jas. Allen, chief of the signal
corps: The effect on military war
fare will be surprising"
Precisely this is what the present
European war has disclosed, with the
Lewis machine gun being used by
tbp RplVianS first and now fron tho
latest reports from the front, by both
British and Russian troops, against
the Kaiser'S men. Nevertheless, this
gun was rejected by our government.
Col. Lewis was told that he might
dispose Of his military knowing ma
chine" elsewhere. and the very first
place he went to was Germany. After
several trials Of his gun in the field
and in airships by the German army
corps, Col. Lewis was asked to sell
the sole right to the use and manu-
facture Of his machine gun to Ger
many. This he refused to do, and
he next tried England. The British
government consented to his selling
the guns to her allies, but at the
time would not guarantee to take all
that Col. Lewis could manufacture.
Col. Lewis then went over to Bel
GUM, and there he sold his guns
without any restrictions, and, luckily
for the Belgians, up to the time the
war broke out he had been able to
make only enough Of the guns for
their use. The result was that they
were the only soldiers in the world
possessing this most certain modern
instrument of death when the Ger
mans stormed Liege. To this gun
is due in considerable degree the
terrible slaughter Of the Germans in
the invasion of Belgium.
This gun is a new departure in ord
nance. 1t is the only machine gun
capable Of rapid continuous fire un-
der service conditions without
change of barrels, and without the
use Of water cooling. 1t is simple in
construction and operation and on
the firing line requires no tools or
special equipment of any kind. The
gun can be assembled or dismounted
in 80 seconds with no other tool than
the point of bullet, and it can be
fired singly or in bursts Of any num-
Der Of shots up to the full extent Of
the magazine, which can be placed in
position in two seconds, and which
can be adapted for an existing ser
vice ammunit on. The normal rate
Of firing is So rounds per minute,
but this may be increased or de-
creased by a simple adjustment.

HOW TO CURE A

HIS WORD Is GOOD.

Jackson, Miss am d carpenter,
ana the grippe left me not only with
chronic cough, but | was rundown,
worn out and weak. took all kinds of
cough syrups but they did me no good
finally got so weak | was not able to
do days work, and coughed so much
was alarmed about my condition One

OF bottle | felt better, and after TAX
ing two bottles my cough is entirely
cured, all the bad symptoms have dis
appeared, and | have gained new vim

The reason Vinol is SO successful in
such cases is because the active medic

The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1915-09-25

The demand for a greater army
and navy is bringing to light a
number Of interesting facts
which in political and financial
way are engaging the public at
tention in a manner not at all
contemplated by those who first
brought up the subject.
For political reasons some of
the eastern politicians have at
tackled the Wilson administration
for not giving greater attention
to the army and navy and to mil
itary preparedness. Since the
facts have been brought out, it is
discovered that the Wilson admin
istration has really been spending
money for preparedness, and
has yearly spent more and se-
cured more for the money than
any previous administration. 1t
is also discovered that the very
men who are now demanding
preparedness did not practice
(when they were in power) as
they now preach, but turned
over the administrations with
small army and navy.
In financial way, the public
is discovering that the men who
are demanding big expenditure
are not the ones who help pay for
it. Army and navy expenditures
come from the pockets of the
poor. Practically every penny
of the army and navy expendi-
lures in the last 10 years came
from the customs house and in
ternal revenue offices, which do
not levy taxes on men according
to their wealth, but solely upon
things which people eat, wear
and use, which means that army
and navy expenses are inevitably
a factor in higher cost of living.
The Wilson administration has
realized this, and while spending
more money on these depart
ments, has lowered the tariff and
created an income tax which
shifts the burden from the COM
mon people to the possessers of
wealth. This is the reason the
financial interests demand re-
turn to the high tariff, that the
common people shall be made to
pay more, and they less.
