a variety of cotton which We have de-
veloped here at the college and grown
on our test plats and field areas with
great success. 1t is a comparatively
new strain and of course only small
amount of the seed is available for dis
tribution as yet. 1t possesses the merit
of maturing early. which is a great al
vantage in a strain of cotton to be
grown where the boil weevil has al
ready made it's appearance. 1t is a
variety of cotton which should pc
planted in rows about four feet apart
and left about eighteen inches apart
in the drill. We have followed up to
now the process of leaving two stalks
per drill. Possibly under boil weevil
only one stalk to the drill. This cotton
should be planted on land which is in
fair state of fertility. There are a
number of formulas which you can use
in your section of the state. A for
mula containing to 3:5 per cent nj
trogen and s to 10 per cent phosporic
acid should prove satisfactory. If you
can use a formula which will provide a
little potash it will be an advantage.
suggest that the above fertilizer be
used at the rate of 300 pounds as a
minimum. 1t will be better to use 500
pounds per acre. Put all of these for
mulas under the ground at the time of
planting. The enrichment of this land
with two tons of yard manure or leaf
mold will be an advantage, Scatter the
manure or leaf mold on top of the ground
and pillow il under so as to have the land
in shape to plant early the next spring.

CRAUTAUQUA WORKERS BEGIN ACTIVE PLANS
 ID ASSURE SUCCESS

Active work to assure the success of the Warren District Chautauqua, which opens on April 90, and contin- ues for one week. have been begun by the committee of guarantors in charge of the entertainment. An nouncement was made yesterday of tlfe show-grounds, of the character of entertainment to be given and of the first active drive in the district to interest the public in the chautau- qua and its performers. The first ad- vertising of the entertainments was posted when a string of penants an- nouncig the attraction and dates was hung between the Phelps Dodge Mer- camille company's store and the post office building.
 Attractions of the chautauqua this year will be staged on the ground hack of the Phelps Dodge store in Lowell, instead of on Quality hill, as last year. Several reasons have teen given for this change of location. in cluding the facts that the new grounds is centrally located on the car lines, that adequate grounds for the show and for the parking O. ears can be had, that the long climb of stairs to the tents will be eliminated, and that the newly chosen spot is ideally To- cated from every standpoint of serving the most people of the entire district.
 The sale of tickets and active cam paigning in the behalf of the attrac- tions will commence on April 23, or a day later, when the final advance man of the chautauqua will arrive in the district At the same time additional meetings of the committee will be called, the Chautauqua parade for the opening night will be arranged. and other details will be taken up.
 The tenor of the chautauqua this year will be that of the war. In near ly every attraction the war has found its play and phase, and even in the artistic and musical numbers the con flict is reflected. In the appearance of speakers the war has had an es- peeial reflection, with the result that nearly all of the lectures are on war subjects. while some of the lecturers are among the best known war critics and experts of the world. The en- tire program is one of patriotism and nationalism, and will be of high value to residents of the district in its teachings and preachings.

clares that 60 per cent Of the city's
population make their residences

close, not even a cigar can be

BRITISH AIRMEN

CAPTURE TROOPS

With the British Army in France,
Oct. 14.-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )-Airplanes can
be used for capturing infantry.
This was proved by the British in
the recent advance.
Flying fairly low seeking parties
of Germans or war material to
bomb, two officers in one machine
were fired upon from sunken
road. The pilot dived and the air
plane machine gun quickly &C
counted for four Germans. Very
quickly the Germans hoisted
white flag in token of surrender.
The airmen were in a dilemma as
there was no British infantry in
the vicinity. They descended to so
feet, however, and ordered the Ger
mans out of the roads, of them
in all They obeyed. Then round
ing up the party the airmen directed
them toward the British lines. They
c1rcled over them with the ever
bombs and machine guns
until they encountered a party OF
British who took the entire lot to a
prison cage.
