COTTON is MOST ESSENTIAL
Wonderful Product Is the Basis Of All
High Explosives--Makes Modern
Warfare Terrible.

Next to air, water and food, there is
probably nothing more essential to
mans existence in the way civiliza-
ton prescribes than cotton. A bit Of
the irony of the gods" Is found in the
fact that while war has demoralized
the cotton industry, yet without cotton
there could be no war. Not single
modern gun could be fred, not a bat
tleship sail nor an army be put in mo-
tion without this wonderful product of
the modest cotton plant, for its fruit
is the basis of all high explosives and
smokeless powder. A warship is a
floating cotton mill, from the suits of
it's Jack Tars to the grim shells ready
as fuel for the mighty guns that make
modern warfare SO terrible.-R Ranch

On RAlnn Natural.

The world has established certain
standards of etiquette for those who
would be recognized as we'll bred and
cultured. The earlier in life these
standards are adopted the better for
the woman Fortunate indeed is she
who has cultivated early in life a soft
voice. poise, grace of carriage and the
pretty" way of doing things. She
need have no fear that in a moment
of excitement she will forget herself
and be guilty of faux pas.
Absolutely destructive of natural
ness in manner is self-consciousness
This affection amounts at times al
most to an obsession. 1t causes wom-
en- to shout who wish to speak low; it
leads often. to an assumption of
bravado, causing criticism that may
be unjust, but is invited and unavoid-
able.
1t is gentle art, the art of being
natural; one that is essential to every
woman, who wishes to be regarded as
attractive and popular.
No woman with an ounce of brains
will allow herself to become the vic
tim of affectation if she would get the
most that is possible out of life.

REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON
Difficulties Of Getting Staple Shipped
Abroad Are lncreasing-Raise
More Food Crops.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
declares that eff the Southern farmer
is even moderately wise he will reduce
his cotton acreage from last year, rath-
er than increase it" 1t points out
that the difficulties of getting cotton
abroad are steadily increasing, and
adds:
ION the other hand, the demand
for good crops bids fair to increase.
Corn and wheat and oats, hogs and
cows and chickens bid fair to be
even higher next fall than they have
been before. Foreign nations can
and will have these products, and we
also have 1OO,O00,000 people in this
country to feed In other words, the
outlook is bullish on everything to
eat. While it may not be decidedly
bearish on cotton, it can easily be
made so with big yield this year.
IF farmers of the South increase
their cotton acreage this year at the
expense of feed and food crops they
will buy food this fall at record high
prices and pay for it out of low
priced cotton"

MULES BETTER THAN HORSES
Less Subject to Accidents and Injury
More Inclined to Take Care Of
His Own interests.

Mules are said by some to be hard
Ter than horses. Because of the mules
disposition 1t is probably true that he
is inclined to take care of his own in
terests somewhat better than the aver
age horse. He probably exerts less
energy in fretting than does the horse.
AS to whether or not he can stand
more actual work than horse of SINH
lar type, weight and condition is still
question.
Mules are said to be less subject to
accidents and injury. Insignificant
blemishes on mules affect their value
less than the same blemish on horses.
Because Of the mules ability to care
for himself he shows somewhat less
tendency to get into trouble when in
pasture or in accidents of various
sorts.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
At the present time, when potash in
the form of salts is practically unob-
tainable and when both nitrogen and
acid phosphate have advanced in price
because Of the use of nitrates and sui
phuric acid for munition purposes.
cottonseed meal. which carries all
three Of the fertilizing elements, be-
comes of great Importance. In recent
years immense quantities of this ma
terial have gone into fertilizers, APP
proximately 100000 tons having been
so used in 1913.
Cotronseed meal, the residue after
the oil has been extracted from cot
tonseed, is dry, yellowish powder,
having excellent mechanical properties
for fertilizer mixtures, and contains
about 6.5 per cent Of nitrogen, 2 per
cent of phosphoric acid and per cent
of potash. 1t is, therefore. according
to specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, primarily
heterogeneous fertilizer, but under pres
ent conditions it's potash content is
highly important and is decided fac
tor in determining the price at which
the material is sold.
In practice, cottonseed meal should
be mixed with other ingredients. Most
of the formulas heretofore published
have advocated various proportions of
acid phosphate and muriate of potash
in combination with cottonseed meal.
Muriate of potash is to all intents and
purposes unobtainable this year and
must be omitted from present consid-
GRAFTON. If 1000 pounds of cottonseed
meal and 1000 pounds of acid phos-
plate are mixed, however. a ton of
material results which contains about
1870 pounds of phesphoric acid, IS
pounds of nitrogen and 20 pounds of
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1916-06-01

potash. This is about per cent phos-
phoric acid, 1925 per cent nitrogen and
l per cent potash, and makes very
satisfactory mixture for many soils
where field crops are to be grown.
For trucking and gardening present
practice demands a higher content OF
potash. and the mixture may be sup
plemented by the application of I'M
leached wood ashes If obtainable.
Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not
so quickly available as when applied
in the form of nitrate, but on the other
hand is not so likely to be leached out
in times of heavy rainfall. In light
sandy soils, where teaching is rapid.
the use OF organic material such as
cottonseed meal is to be preferred In
supplying the necessary nitrogen. De-
cay of the organic material liberates
the nitrogen gradually and there is
much less danger of loss than is the
case when soluble salts, like Chilean
nitrate, are used.
Most of the mineral ingredients in
cottonseed meal are recovered in the
manure If the material is used as a
cattle feed. The most economical use
of cottonseed meal is, therefore, to
feed it and apply the manure to the
land. In this way the material is made
to serve a double purpose. European
dairymen have for some years bought
large quantities of American cotton
q
the live stock industry develops in our
southern states doubtless an increas-
ing amount of this material will be d.
verified from the fertilizer trade for use
as stock feed, and at present wher-
ever possible the practice Of feeding
the meal and using the manure for
fertilizer should be followed, rather
than the direct application of the cot
tonseed meal to the land.

And what about Teddy?"

Teddy was a waif, an orphan who had
limped into Taunton just after the
wedding, ragged, hungry, with no past
worth remembering, and no friends.
The forlorn little tramp had come
asking for food at the door. He had
been welcome to it-and more. He
was bright, accommodating, grateful.
They had practically adopted him, had
dressed him, had sent him to school,
and his laughing ways had made him
quite an institution in the little home.
"You must try and keep him with
you, John. We should miss him dread
fully in the better days to come, If
we sent him away now. There he is
now" and the gay ringing voice Of
their protege echoed outside, hailing
some playmates.

was calling out.

got about the town, and Ted heard

He was silent and thoughtful after
that. The next evening, however,
when he came home from school he
was on nettles with some intense Sc
cret excitement. Rhoda attributed 1t
to her pending departure If she had
