AROUND ELLAV|LLE.

ELLAVILLE, Ga, Feb. 16.-Under
the auspices of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance union, Mrs. L. o. Mid
dleton. of Kansas City, Mo-, delivered
a series of lectures in Ellaville Mon
day. Monday morning she addressed
the pupils of Crisp Institute on scien-
tific temperance instruction. Monday
afternoon her address was mainly to
the members of the w. c. T. u, at the
Baptist church, and Monday evening
she spoke to an enthusiastic audience
at the Methodist church. Mrs. Middle
ton is fluent speaker, consecrated
temperance worker, and instructs in
way that is both entertaining and
pleasing. We feel that she is doing
much good in Georgia, and we are glad
that our citizens had the privilege of
hearing her.

AS Wives Can

BERLIN, Feb. 16.-The authorities
have announced that the wives of for
eign diplomats in the capital may use
their own or rented automobiles for
airy purpose whatever-shopping, call
ing, pleasure driving.
Private automobiles in Berlin have,
ever since last March, been so extrem-
ely limited as to be almost non-exist-
ert. A few physicians and others work
ing in the public service have been
allowed to run their machines solely
for business purposes.
Consequently the sight of luxurious
limousines carrying the diplomatic Ia
dies to afternoon teas and to Inter deu
Linden shops has greatly aroused some
people, and complaints have poured in
on Police President Won Jagow.

THE CASE OF BECKY
At ALCAzAR THURSDAY

THE Case of Becky, in which Jesse
L. Lasky presents Miss Blanche Sweet
in the stellar role, to be shown at the
Alcazar Thursday, is one of the great
est dramatic successes ever produced
Icy David Belasco, by whose consent
and sanction the perturbation was
made.
Miss Sweet is appearing exclusively
III the photo-drama productions of the
Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play company
Following her recent triumphant sue
cess in "The Secret Orchard" she now
appears in her most important produc.
ton. In "The Case of Becky" Miss
Sweet assumes dual personality, that
Of young woman stamped by a pre-
metal influence with two characters,
one pleasing and happy, the other
mean and vicious. These two person
alities, in the one person, struggle
against each other for mastery.
Throughout the play is theme of mys-
ticism and hypnotism, subjects that are
handled with all the skill and discre-
ton at the command of the Lasky pro-
ducing force
Noted physicians and specialists are
attracted by the strange Case of
Becky" In the end, through a combi-
nation of science and loves powerful
might, the hated personality is con-
quered. The scenes of the play are
modern; the characters persons of to-
day.

WHEN GO HOME.

WHEN l GO HOME.
1t comes to me often in silence,
When the freight sputters low,
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wreaths of the long ago.
Always with throbs of heartache
That thrill each pulsive vein,
Come the old, unquiet longing
For the space of some again.
I'm sick of the roar of the cities
And of faces old and strange,
1 know where there's warmth of well
come a..
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead
: With an aching sense of pain.
But therell be joy in the coming
When go home again.
When l go home again! There's
music
That may never die away,
And it seems that band of angels
On a mystic harp to play
Have-~touched with a yearning sad
ness
On beautiful broken strain,
To which is my fond hearts wording
When I go home again.
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn's shadows
Come drifting-drifting in.
Sobbing, the night winds murmur
To the splash of the autumn rain,
But l dream fthe glorious greeting
When I go home again.

only possible where the fall in the row
is slight and the side fall nil. 1t can
not be accomplished where rows are
too long. Eighty rods is probably too
far to run water for the most effec-
tive results with cotton; forty rods
is better. Short lands can frequently
be used to counterfeit heavy fall where
expensive team work would be re-
quired to level longer lands.
Truisms and many items we'll known
to many cotton growers have been
stated above, but it is to be hoped
that they will become better i'm
pressed and incorporated in practice
by re-statement. Through the appli-
cation of what the growers know and
learn are best practices Imperial Val
ley should, within the next few years,
be provided with a system Of cotton
culture, which will result in consistent
average yields of :. bale per acre and
even more.
In preparing your land for cotton,
consider the cantaloupe grower. If
you don't know how he does it, GO
and look at his gardens and have him
tell you how. Then go and do like
wise to your cotton lands.

Argvle McLachlan Writes
On Cotton and Cantaloupes

Contribution from Imperial Valley
Long Staple Cotton Growers Associ-
alton by Argyle McLachlan.)
One thing above ali others is re-
ouired in Imperial Valley agriculture
applied intelligence. This includes
adaptability, or consistent and
prompt willingness to lay aside what
is ill-adapted and to apply what is
better practice. 1t cannot be repeat
ed too often that irrigation agriculture
in the Imperial Valley is largely a
learners game. This attitude is salu-
tary. We must keep eternally at
learning how to produce more per
acre-more hogs, more beef, more al
falfa, more barley, more cantaloupcs,
more cotton.
There are so many things for us to
learn that it seems inevitable that
we must apportion the lessons and
become specialists; not to the detr!-
ment of intelligent crop rotation. but
in way that one main crop will be
grown by each Individual with the
proper rotations to keep that crop at
it's maximum productiveness The
fifteen-year-old infant agriculture OF
the Imperial Valley must continually
have applied to it more and more en-
Iightened practices to make it cOnsis-
tently and progressively heavier
producing agriculture That is oul
great problem.
AS we learn new and better prac'
tees in the special agricultural game
we are playing in this great valley
we should consistently apply the bes
we know. The choice of land, its prep
aration, the use of the best seed, th'
application of the best known irriga
ton and cultivation methods, intelli
gent harvesting and marketing, ar:
factors that must costantly engaS'
our thoughts. 1t is necessary to know
cur plant and to know our land. jus
now we are in the midst Of preparin:
lard for cotton. What is the bes
practice we know regarding this fac
tor in cotton production? It nigh
be we'll to go back of preparation ant
consider preparation and choice o
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1916-03-01

made up Of very large acreages the
low average yields liable to result
would naturally have a depressing eff
feet. These large acreaoes must be
supplied with proper systems of crop
management, of which we have an
excellent example at the Imperial De-
velopment Company's ranch at Hechi-
cera, Mexico.
Men who farm forty, eighty, one
hundred and sixty or three hundred
and twenty acres of cotton have diff
ferent situations to meet. To the man
who follows the cantaloupe growers
system the method Of preparation of
alfalfa and bermuda sod lands has
already been outlined. 1t may be add
ed that he may accomplish much CT
his four or five years cultivation in
the first year by preparation CT ma
ture to eradicate the bermuda and
alfalfa before his first planting. #
this is accomplished, re-listing the
| land, will be sufficient the second year
The third he should flat break, list
the fourth and flat break the fifth. II
is not clear that cotton will not pro-
duce profitably for more than five
years on old sod lands.
! Growers who are cropping land pre-
viously in cotton should falt break
every two years, chop the old stalks
as fine as possible with an effective
stalk cutter and plow or list them un-
der. 1t is probable the listings should
always consist in double-listing except
following flat-breaking. 1t may be
that we shall find that land for cot
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1916-03-01

ton should be flat-broke annually, but
with our present knowledge of the -cul-
ture of cotton in the Imperial Valley
this does not appear necessary.
To the man putting cotton in on
land newly brought under cultivation
from the desert state, the safest meth
cd is to flat break or else double list
early enough to enable him to give one
or two soaking irrigations in the win
Ter or very early spring.
1t appears that this heavy winter
wetting of much Of our new land solves
the difficulty some have encountered
in securing normal growth in crop
ping new lands in certain parts Of the
Valley.
In the case of sod land, old cotton
land or newly leveled land, the same
practice should be followed in thor
oughly mulching the bed with a, sec
ton harrow, weighted or followed by
plank drag or packer.
1t would. seem 2 waste of time to
dwell on the elemental necessity of
having land well leveled were it not
for the fact that so much of our cot
ton acreage is poorly leveled. How
much fall? Enough to carry the wa
ter slowly from one end of the fur
row to the other. The best natural
fall for cotton in the Imperial Valley
is III land just off from flat. Side
fall should be leveled out. The most
successful grower is one who has his
land in condition to provide each in
dividual plant with an equal and SUI
ficert amount of moisture. This is
