Forcing Cotton Maturity
For Boil WeeviI Conditions
JOHN n. FAM, Prof. OF Asronomy,
Ga. state College OF Agriculture

Early maturity of cotton is essential
TO success in growing the crop under
boil weevil conditions. Aside from Sc
lecting variety with earliness as a
characteristic. it is important that the
splant be helped by every possible slim.
ulant to set and mature its fruit at
the earliest possible date. Hence il
becomes important to fertilize with
this end in view.
Contributing to the early maturity
OF a plant, PHOSPHORUS is of CHIEF
importance. Therefore, to promote
early fruition Of the cotton, an applica.
tion of phosphoric acid should be made,
generally speaking, about 400 pounds
to the acre.
II other forms are used the appli-
cation should be made in time and
condition should be such as. to render
the phosphorous available at the prop
or time.

According to tests and observations
extending over several years in vari-
Gus section Of the state, the following
are among the best short staple varie-
ties adapted to cotton production under
boil weevil conditions: College No. l,
Trice, Sunbeam, Cleveland, Hooper's,
Csldwell's, Toole, Cooks, Poulnot, Dix.
lie, Browns No. and Culpepper. Other
varieties that are known to be early
and that have made good yields in
the different sections where they are
grown, may be equally as good, but
only these varieties that We have test.
ed are included in this list.

BOUGHT PIG; MAKES 1,lso PER
CENT PROFIT

Waycross, Feb. 22-Some idea OF
the value of the Pig club work in
Ware in the past year is found in the
report made today by the county
agent, Eben Mann, on a male pig
owned by Dewey Tanner, who lives
i'll the upper part of Ware. The ac-
tual increase in the pigs value in a
mne-month period is placed at 1850
per cent. The pig cost last May $40,
plus small express and registration
fee. Last week an offer OF SIPS for
the pig was declined. The pig is a

The Moral of the Story.

Professor John Spencer Bassett, au-
thor of "A Life of Andrew Jackson"
in one Of his lectures at Smith college,
repeated a well known story in regard
to Stephen A. Douglas. closing with a
moral which aroused peculiar interest.
Douglas, as the narrative runs, was
once sitting in a profound sleep in the
corridor of the capitol when Adeline
Cults, a Washington belle, passed by.
She did not know the sleeper, but was
struck with compassion on seeing such
a splendidly intellectual face under
such conditions, and, STOPPING down,
laid her handkerchief over it to pro
teet- it from the flies. Douglas on
awakening found \ the handkerchief,
sought the owner and eventually mar
ried her. There was a pause, and
then the professor added: young la
dies, the moral Of this story is, have
your pocket handkerchief marked" q

TRACING A CRIMINAL.
Tho Most Expert Will Leave Some
Mark That Eesrays Him.

-
Successful criminals nearly always
specialize in their work, and it is ow-
Ing to this fact that detectives in many
cases are able to track them down,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Not
only do criminals make a practice Of
committing n particular style Of
crime, but the methods professional
crooks employ are practically always
on the same plan.
One burglar, for instance, will al
ways enter through the fanlight over
the front door Of n shop, another by
breaking In at the back. Most burglars.
too, will continually repeat a burglary
in the same neighborhood.
1t is by carefully observing and not
Ing the special systems notorious crooks
adopt that detectives can often effect
their arrests. Many n time a burglary
has occurred aud the criminal vanish
ed, leaving apparently no marks by
which he could be traced, and police
officials have been able to produce him
IN court within q few days, to the utter
establishment of all concerned.
1t does not matter how subtle or
careful a criminal may be. he always
leaves some b%etraying sign behind for
the well Informed detective to act upon.

PESTS THAT LIVE ON PESTS.
Tiny S%corpion-iike Crabs a Deadly Foe
IN A~oureHies

to Housewives.
To the naturalist or to any one ac-
customed to observe nature closely the
fact is apparent that the problems of
existence are proportionately the same
In every form or stratum Of life. Even
the common housefiy, which seemingly
has nothing else to do but to crawl
lazily over whatever is left uncovered
and then go happily on its way, doing
its best to bring .abont an a~tiiliation
between the clean and the uncleaf, oc-
c~asionally meets its Nemesis in the
form of a tiny crablike creature which
attaches itself to the fly's legs.
These little creatures are known to
the scientists as pseudo scorpions. or
chelifers. says the Popular Science
Monthly. They may sometimes be
fouad between the leaves of old books
that have stood unused for a long
time and also beneath the bark Of trees
and in MOSES.
Although they are called false scor-
pions, they resemble the true scorpion
closely In general structure except for
their minute size. But they have no
poison gland as the true scorpions
have. They attach themselves to other
Insects also, but they seem to be the
special pest of the househies. Scien-
lists suppose that they seize the ny's
leg and hold on until the fly dies, either
worried or frightened to death by the
undesirable presence. When the fly is
dead the little creature feeds on the
body.
