Texas Ranch Raided
By Border Bandits

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 19.-Ban-
dts, believed to have been Mexicans,
raided the ranch of Butrell and Sublett,
in Brewster county, Texas, last night,
and escaped with fifteen horses and
mules, according to a dispatch received
at the headquarters here of the Cattle
Raisers association of Texas today.
American cowboys are reported to have

ing these worms is TO look for them
every morning. a great many can be
found near the plants where they work
ed the night before and destroyed All
plants set out should have n little pa
per collar put around them. 1t should
not be wrapped tightly, of course. but
left loose. This paper collar should eX-
tend an inch above the ground and
should go into the soil the same depth.
Another plan is to make mixture
Of bran and molasses to which a small
proportion of Paris green is added and
made into little ha..s. These bran balls
are then scattered about over the gar
den and the worms will often eat them,
thus poisoning themselves This rem
edy of course, is. more effective before
anything has come up, though it could
possibly be used to some advantage at
this season. one should remember in
using this remedy, however, that it is
poison and that if chickens or pets of
any kind get into the garden and eat
the bran balls they will certainly be
killed

Yours very truly,

ated as you are and desiring a large
amount of roughage, We would suggest
that you snap off the ears of corn and
gather the beans and then cut the corn
stalks and bean vines with a corn har-
vester and tie in sheaves and set up
in shocks to field cure until about No
vember. We would then draw this
roughage to the barn and then run 1t
through the shredder or cutting box
and grind the corn and beans together
and use them as the concentrated part
of the ration We believe you will find
this one of the most desirable and eco
nomical food combinations you can use
not only to supply the necessary con-
centrates, but desirable type and guam

FERTILIzING COTTON IN NORTH

GEORGlA.
G. W. w, Dahlonega. Ga. writes
have some light sandy land that want
to put in cotton. I am thinking Of ap-
plying a 9-3-3 fertilizer and some stable
manure l would like your advice how
much fertilizer TO use and when and how
1t should be applied.
In planting cotton on land such as
you describe we would like to use about
800 pounds of a 9-3-3 fertilizer. This
we consider a moderate application Of
commercial plant food to use under cot
ton. You will observe this will only pro-
vide the land with nine pounds of nitr0A
gen, and nitrogen has been shown to be
the limiting factor in crop production
on our Georgia soils, hence you should
make an effort to supply this element IN
the largest amount practicable.
If situated so ais to control a consid-
cradle supply Of stable manure we
would consider 1t good practice to open
burrows and scatter the fertilizer there
in and then draw them together and
bed thereon for cotton. We believe It is
better to use manure under the drill
row rather than broadcast where or
uses a considerable amount of well rot
ted manure
Three hundred pounds of the formula
you have suggested will answer very
we'll as a supplemental fertilizer Corn,
abundance of nitrogen. 1t requires much
more Of this element even than cotton,
so that the plentiful application of yard
manure broadcast on the land or in the
bottom of the burrows where you expect
to plant the corn must be regarded as
good practice. You should, of course,
use as much fertilizer as practicable.
Three hundred pounds Of the formula
you have mentioned will answer quite
we'll Personally we do not undertake
to buy much potash at the present
prices, as we think II is too high in pro-
portion to the benefit It will give to corn
or cotton. We would prefer TO put the
money you would spend on potash into
more nitrogen. In other words, instead
of applying nine pounds Of nitrogen II
you could put on eighteen or twenty
Ave pounds in a commercial form your
chance of securing a good crop of corn
or cotton would be better. We do not
wish you to conclude that potash is not
valuable soil amendment, but we
would prefer the nitrogen to the potash
a prevailing prices in view Of the defl-
cheney OF nitrogen In the soil about
which you write.
In this connection we desire TO say
that you should not make a mistake in
planting too much cotton unless you are
producing an abundance Of food crops.
There will be good market for food
crops this fall as the shortage is last
ing and there is a tendency for many
farmers TO over-plant cotton on account
the present time.

is THERE DANGER IN GRAZING

S. n. S., hurry Cross, Ala, writes: /
have two pigs that have been running
wheat and they seem to be doing very
we'll but / am told that they will die
il / keep them the wheat. Is there
any truth in this stRtement7
Hogs will not ole from grazing on
wheat. We have grazed pigs not only on
rye, but on wheat and oats at various
stages of their development and of the
crops development as we'll. We have
never lost a hos so handled. If. your
hogs die, therefore, you may rest as
sured that it is due to something else.
Animals sometimes contract cholera and
die very quickly. and people are. dis
posed TO attribute their death to the
crop on which they are grazing. II hogs
are turned on cereal crops, such as
those mentioned when they are very
young and watery and are not given
any supplemental foods, it is quite pos
sible to understand how they might die
from improper nutrition. You should
remember that the hog has a relative
ly small stomach and cannot live on
coarse foods alone As a matter of
fact. hogs should seldom he turned on
cereal crops until the grain is pass

PLANTING PEAS AND BEANS IN

cut the rest and grind for roughage. Have
planted some beans in the middle OF six
foot rows. Will they hurt the corn?
You need not be afraid of planting
velvet beans in corn. We have sell
dom seen the beans overtop the corn
and this is much more likely to occur
in south Georgia than in our section
OF the state. 1t is important that you
secure the 90 or To-day velvet bean
for, according to our experience, this va
riety requires from 100 to 100 days to
mature We prefer to plant the beans
alongside the drill row. say opposite
every stalk or at least every other
stalk. We would not plant the beans
until the corn Is about six to eight
inches high. This gives the corn OPP
rortunity to develop before the beans

TREATING COTTON SEED WITH
FORMALIN.

FORMALlN.
!. G. r., Gallant, Ala. writes: VIII
you please tell 10 treat cotton
seed to prevent pink bail rot? How much
formalln should I use?
There is no pink boil worm in the
United States at the present time, so
your cotton must evidently not be suf-
fering from this disease. Possibly you
refer to the disease known as anthrac-
nose, which sometimes causes one side
of the affected boli to turn a rather pink
ish color. This disease Is best control
led by planting resistant strains of cot
ton. 1t causes a great deal of damage
in the south and the bolls of some va
rieties are much more readily attacked
by 1t than others. The most resistant
strains to this fungus with which 1 am
acquainted are the Sunbeam and the Col
lege No. 1. Both of these strains were
originated and developed through the
agency Of this institution.
1t will be some advantage, of course.
to use formalin for treatment of the
cotton seed which you are afraid con-
tain the spores of the fungus which en-
ables anthracnose to reproduce itself.
We suggest that you treat the seed with
a per cent solution of formalin. Be
sure you do a very thorough job.
