WORKING WITH FRUIT TREES
Often Benefited by Application of Nj.
trate of Soda and Acid Phosphate
Around Bottom.

Apple trees in bearing, if making a
poor growth, are often benefited if two
or three pounds of nitrate of soda and
twice as much of acid phosphate are
sprinkled around each tree. Do not
apply fertilizers within two or three
feet of the trees.
Fruit trees seldom need fertilizers
before they come into bearing, nor in
any case If they are making a good
growth. Forcing fruit trees, especial
ly peach, into vigorous growth lowers
their resistance to cold and delays fruit
production.

SECURING PURE COTTONSEED
Best Results Obtained by Ginning
Early in Season or Waiting Until
Rush Is Over.

Cotton growers who wish to main
tain the purity of their seed can OBJ
tain best results either by ginning very
early in the season or after the rush
of the season is over, when the ginner
can take greater care.
1t is practically impossible to main
tain the purity of seed without the CO.
operatlon of the ginner, and 1t is I'M
reasonable to ask him to delay his
regular ginning work and keep other
patrons waiting.

C0WPEAS FINE FOR POULTRY
Make Most Desirable Feed for Laying
Hens-Be Cautious as They Are
Rich in Protein.

Cowpeas are a very desirable feed
for laying hens. Sometimes they will
not eat them very readily, In which
case the peas may be fed ground In a
dry mash. However, after while they
will begin to eat peas greedily, In
which case care must be exercised not
to feed them too freely.
Never feed more than Is per cent of
the ration In cowpeas, as they are very
rich in protein.

Hard Command to Obey.

Josephine is two and one-half years

tone, where is it? Put it back"

BEST SCI OR PLANTING
Ground Can Be Prepared-Seed
Won't Deteriorate.

The best plan is to plant as soon as
the season arrives and the ground is
prepared.
Even when the amount of moisture
seems insufficient to terminate the

as the seed is not apt to deteriorats

builders in the county, one from

good. No provision as we re-
member has been made for the
legislating out of office of the pres
ent nine commissioners. and they,
on their part, are in for their life
time. if they want to serve that
long. No provision has been
made in the Wilson act for con-
clusion of their duties. Hence,
if the people of Marion county
vote $160, 900 for more road build
ing, who is going to spend it, the
Road Bond commissioners, the
nine, or the three who are going
to be elected by the County Court?

elucidate. The weather is too

of the idea.

The election to be held in Ten
nessee is one, at least, in which
neither personal ambitions nor
party advantage will cut any fig
ure. On that date the people of
Tennessee will decide whether or
not they favor the holding of a
Constitutional Convention. In
asmuch as the present constitu-
ton in its main features is the
same one that was adopted in
1884, the proposition upon which
the people will vote may be stat
ed, in another form, to be,
whether or not they deem it wise
or sensible to do business, as a
commonwealth, according TO
rules and regulations and restric-
lions that were framed over three
quarters of a century ago.

VOTE IN THAT ELECTION.

On July D q VOle VIII o0 'oNNii
to decide whether Marion County
shall have another bond issue to
build pixies. Announcement has
been made of such an election.
1t is very important for the peo-
pile to study this question from all
angles and vote in this election,
either for or against it. A big
vote should be polled to show that
people are interested in this mat
ter. If small vote is polled it
will simply demonstrate that all
vampings let out by the citizens
against bonds previously were
nothing but hot air. Come out
and vote your sentiment either
for or against the bonds. 1t is be-
lieved that every one of those
who are in favor of bonds will be
at the fall of the wire with their
vote and influence. This will be
natural, of course, and no excep-
ton should be taken against them.
But it the bond measure does car
ny and then you should go around
vamping against it, let it not be
proven on you that you did not
take enough interest in the cleo
ton to come out and vote.
The News wants good roads as
mu.h as any one. We favored
the first bond issue, we were a
gainst the second because the peo-
pie demanding voice in the mat
ter were denied it, and just at
this moment want to discuss the
proposed one.
1t seems to that with taxes
staring us in the face fer war pur-
poses, with subscriptions to Lib
erty Bonds taking the cash of the
people, with the Red Cross asking
other vast sums, with other lines
of business being pushed to the
wall by the demands of war, with
the present tax rate $2.1 and no
provision for a sinking fund for
the second bond issue, that the
limit has been reached on bond is
sues for roads.
A most comprehensive system
of war taxes is also being pre-
pared at Washington which will
reach everyone from the pauper
to the rich man.
A second consideration is that |
a $780, 900 bond issue, owing to
the high prices of labor and ma
terial, really means an expendi-
ture on the roads of only $50, 900.
Nearly 100000 has been spent
on the roads by the second bond
issue and what does it look like
today? Then what will $50,
look like? Remember, too, that
we will have to pay full interest
on the full amount. There will
be no halving of the interest
merely because onlyhalfthe bene-
fit IS to be realized from the mon
ey. 1t illreaIly be double inter-
est, and the money sharks will
sit up on their launches and hee-
haw because Marion County is so
easy. The bond method of build
ing roads is too expensive, and
time is clearly demonstrating the
truth of the assertion.
We reiterate the people of Ma
rion County should get out and
vote next Thursday to a man. 1t
is of the highest Importance. If
they decide that more bonds is
the best thing tor the. county, so
be it. We will abide by the de-
cision. and will do all we can to
help to better roads, tho for the
life of US under the bond. system
we don't see what we or any
other man could do.
Just at present there is a point
about this road business which is
bothering US, Threecommission-
ers are to be elected by the Coun-
ty Court Monday next These we
understand are to bethe best road
