OF the First State Bank formerly

enjoyed liberal patronage and under

continue to grow in popularity. e..
l.. Watson. the retiring cashier, has
not decided what he will do, but we
hope he decides to remain here. In
speaking of the change in ownership
Charles Mix County papers have the
following to say:
j. Il. Bundy was in town the first
of the week and informed us that he
had purchased the bank at Wood
Mr.. Bundy was called here little
over three years ago to audit the
books of the Farmers Elevator COM
pany and has resided here ever since.
While here he has been closely asso-
ciated with the farmers and business
men of this community, and has a
hos: of friends who will feel the loss
of Mr.. Bundy from our midst. He
was counted here as the farmers
friend. We know it will not be long
before he has many friends in and
about Wood. We all join in wishing
him success in his new field of labor
We understand that Mark Payne, one
of Lake Andes best young men vii!

Developments in the Ford trial
show why President Wilson wanted
tDrd in the senate. He would have
gone to the White house for infor.
nation.
Having become accustomed to flop.
ping every time the President does,
the Democratic editors will find no
difficulty IN reversing their attitude
on the League of Nations whenever
the president gives the word.
The more we read of the Shantuug
provision of the treaty, the more we
are inclined to think that when Presi
dent Wilson spoke Of the supreme
sacrifice" he did not mean sacrifice OF
national sovereignty but of national
honor. To lose honor is worse than
to lose sovereignty.
Fire originating on the John
Denoyer quarter two miles east OF

The fire, origin OF which is unknown

heroes who made the su-
preme sacrifice for their country and
orr country. We would indeed be
slackers shonld We fail to honor those
brave men once Il year by decorating
their graves. "Thc Boys" who have
just returned from the bloody battle
fields of France will lay flowers on
those graves more rcverrntly and
with Il different feeling than they have
ever done before. There will be a
bond of sympathy that never could
have been, had they not gone through
the same experience
We hope that every citizen in the

take part in Memorial Day exercises
Familiar songs will be sung, so that

plying: 400 lbs. when rows are

$50 lbs. as another side application

Side Applications to Cotton.
AT the time the cotton plant is In
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else large percentage
/ OF the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding.
for example, u lack Of q proper amount
of moisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, q lack of plant
food is the potent cause Of this
trouble.
Under boil weevil conditions. the
fertilizer used IN side applications
should contain a high percentage Of
phosphoric acid and a rather low per.
centage of nitrogen. This fertilizer
has the effect OF forcing the young
bolls to quick growth and early ma.
turity.
Side Applications TO Corn.
While it usually pays to make q
larger side application of fertilizer foE
cotton than for corn. still. many OF
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications fol
corn.
The period of the growth Of corn ID
much shorter than that of cotton; con
sequently, there must be present in
the soil large supplies Of available
plant food at the critical period q q
growth. which is from the time . Il
waist high to tasselling time.
