Mexico City. Mexico. June 21.-Be-
cause Of the large excess production
and the minimum demand fuel oil is
selling in Mexico for 1 cent a barrel.
At the close OF the war. when it was
possible to secure tank steamers.
many small concerns began to ship
out oil regardless Of prices.
There were at least a dozen enor-
nous producing wells completed in
the past year in this country. most
OF which are controlled by small op-
orators. All this together has caused
this serious condition throughout
Mexico. The large companies can no
longer control the market, and their
business has fallen eff. The present
export duty from Mexico on each bar
rel Of oil amounts 10 10 cents Com
rare this with the present market

tent the decentralization has reached
The oil for which there IS practi-
caliy no market at present is the
heavy crude being produced from the
Panuco fields and is suitable only for
fuel. The crude production from the
south fields in Mexico which may be
adapted for general refining IS not
so affected.

Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is In
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else q large percentage
of the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding,
for example, lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still. 1t has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, lack OF plant
food is the potent cause of this
trouble.
Under boil weevil conditions, the
fertilizer used in side applications
should contain high percentage OF
phosphoric acid and 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 for
cotton than for corn, still, many of
the best farmers in the Southeast
advocate liberal side applications for
corn.
The period of the growth Of corn is
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 Of its
growth, which is from the time II 10
waist high to tasselling time. NJ
