The Public Mind

Times Recorder: / am sure that it
is not necessary to point out the
falacies of some of the advice now
being offered the southern farmer.
Nor do l think it necessary to refer
to the recommendations being made
that fertilizers be cut % per cent or
33 1-3 per cent, only to emphasize
the fact that the labor cost of raising
the coming cotton crop promises to be
high. This means that if profits are
to be made by the farmer in raising
cotton they will have to be made
through increasing the yields per
acre than ordinarily.
Cotton is such heavy labor crop
that high labor cost destroys profits
very easily unless big yields per acre
are obtained Better than average
yields this year would seen to be a
safe and sane policy. This, of course,
is not obtainable with cotton unless
fertilizers are used.
Fertilizers are expensive, it is true,
just as is labor. Fertilizers are, how
ever, worth more than the actual in
crease they are responsible for They
save labor cost, and since labor is
the one big cost factor in cotton pro-
duction, the saving is important.
Your very truly,

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, VigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepa-
rat1ons and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fieshy, de-
Veloplng arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by Americas Drug Co. and most
all druggists under a guarantee of sat
isfaction or money back BY feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying
he body cells with the necessary phos-
phorfc food elements, bitro-phosphate
quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being
astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessress
and lack of energy, which nearly al
ways accompany excessive ,thinness,
soon disappear, dull eyes become
bright, and pale cheeks glow with

ABBOTT CURSED
BY MRS. ABBOTT
BEFORESLAYINC

ATLANTA, Feb. 20.-AlthOugh it had
been generally expected that c. n Nc
Intyre would testify that Mrs. Stella
Abbott shot and killed her husband,
John Henry Abbott, while he was sit
cling down, thereby eliminating the
theory of self-defense, when placed on
the stand yesterday afternoon McIn-
tyre did not testify as an eye witness
10 the shooting but only described the
beginning of the quarrel between Abb
bolt and his wife that finally resulted
in the fatal shooting.
Mcintyre and his wife rented a room
from Mrs Abbott and were engaged
with her and Abbott in a game of cards
on the night of the shooting. The
telephone rang twice. Abbott an
swered it both times, and each time
came back saying that Central had
cut him off. When it rang the third
time Abbott said he was tired of an
swering it, whereupon Mcintyre got up
and went to the phone. He returned
to the living room and told Abbott that
a Lady wanted to speak to him and Alb
bOtt went to the telephone. This
aroused the suspicious of Mrs. Abbott,
who got up and went into the hall,
snatched the telephone out of her hus-
bands hands and intercepted the wo-
man at the other end of the wire.
Then in a few minutes she came
back into the living room where Abb
bolt had resumed his hand in the card
game, and cursed her husband, &C
@cording to McIntyre's testimony. Pres
emily she went into bedroom and re-

juncture Mcintyre and his wife retired
to their room. In about half an hour
Mrs. Abbott's father, L. H. Fem, came
to the house. Half an hour later the
McIntyres heard the shot, and Mrs.
Abbott came to their door and told
Mrs. Mcintyre she had killed her hus-
band.
Every step of the case will be hard

COTTON N NEW MEXICO
state Anronomlst Encourages Belief
IN Practlcabillty of Local
Farmers Plans.

Cotton has been successfully grown
IN this state for a number Of years.
hut the area Of production has been
largely confined TO the Carlsbad dis
trict in the Pccos Valley. q.
The increased demand and the re-
suliant high prices paid for this pro-
duet have greatly stimulated inter
est In cotton production until now
many of the irrigated districts in the
state r interested In this crop.
The New Mexico cpcrimen station
has been conducting cotton invcsli-
cations for several years. and the
results have been uniformly favor
able Ia the crop. IN 1915 a number
of varieties were compared. The
Durango variety yielded 40 bales
Of lint cotton Ia the acre aud sew
cral other varieties exceeded a bale
Ia the acre. In 1917 the Durango
variety Vas planted on the mesa
land. which is some fifty feet higher
than the valley. The soil is quite
sandy, with pockets Of gravel scat
tered here and there, which makes
II quite porous The cotton was not
planted until late and as a result a
large number Of bolls did not have
time 10 mature before frost. and so
the yield was cut down. the crop
yielding 0S2 bales per acre. as COM
pared with i.iG bales the previous
year on valley land. In the spring Of
1918 a more extensive experiment
To include both mesa aud valley soils
was planned. In view OF the fact
that cotton cross fertilizcs quite
badly, producing an inferior grade
Of lint. and as the results Of prcvi-
Gus experiments had been favorable
10 Durango cotton, II was decided to
confine the experiment TO this one
variety.
The field Of low land that was SCI
lected for the experiment had pre-
Yously been In hog and dairy pas
ure, being seeded each year TO an
annual pasture crop. The soil, al
though somewhat ununiform, is no
more 80 probably than the average
field In this section OF the state, aud
is classified as Gila clay by the bu-
al Of soils.
Different types Of fertilizers and
different methods Of planting were
compared, but In view Of the fact
that the results along these lines
cover but M years work, Il is con-
sidered inadvisable 10 recommend
the use of one fertilizer over the
other. But from the experience Of
the past three years aud through
Information secured from cotton
growing sections, II Is evident that
better stands are secured when the
cotton Is planted In burrows, thus
preventing q crust forming as is the
ase when planting on the flat and
flooding Is practiced. The ridges do
not need 10 be large; in fact, the
small ridges are best because they
do not interfere with cultivation.
