KEEP COTTON FREE
 FROM TRASH

Fayetteville, Sept. Hone of the most important factors in grad ing cotton is cleanliness, says E. A. Hodson, assistant professor of agro- omy with the College of Agricul- ture, University of Arkansas, "there- for the vital thing to watch in picking cotton is to keep it free from trash''. Professor Hodson adds that it is important that cotton be picked dry If it is necessary to pick it wet, then it should be thoroughly dried before being stor- ed. Cotton should be picked be- fore it begins to fall on the ground, as dirt-easpecially clay soil stains the cotton and thus lowers the grade. The first picking should be saved for seed, as this tends to induce an earlier strain. An other reason is that frost tends to lower the vitality of the seed.

condition and its effect upon later
crops is often quite significant. This
becomes more noticeable after the first
two or three applications, since lib.
eral application of manure every four
years will result in permanent improve
ment to the land.
Careful Handling Necessary.
BY very careful handling of manure
livestock farmer, on average SOIL
should be able to return annually
about two tons Of manure per acre to
his cultivated fields. 1t is not easy to
save this amount except by very care
full methods and persistent efforts. It
Is necessary that all straw and other
suitable materials be worked through
the barn as bedding. This not only
adds to the comfort of the animals, but
serves as an absorbent for the liquid
manure. If straw piles are sold,
burned or left to rot it is, Of course,
impossible to return this amount Of
manure.
Keep the manure together; don't Jet
it get scattered about the barn or lots.
Hogs and chickens may waste much of
it. Where possible haul it to the field
as soon as produced. If this is not pos
sible, store it In shallow, concrete lined
pits to prevent teaching. Use, plenty
of bedding in the stable or on the feed
ing floor to absorb the liquid. Straw,
old hay, grass and leaves may be used
for this purpose, =.
Prevent Fermentation.
About IS per cent Of the nitrogen
and IS per cent Of the potassium is to
be found in the liquid material There
is, however, practically no phosphorus
in this part. The plant foods in the
liquid are all in soluble form and are
very easily lost through teaching.
Furthermore. the nitrogen in this
liquid portion readily passes off as
ammonia when the manure is allowed
to ferment, hence the necessity for pre-
venting fermentation as far as possi-
BILE.
The total solid and liquid manure
produced in year by well-fed, ma
ture horse, is about eight tons, with
a plant-food value of more than $50.
In the case Of well-fed steer weigh
ing from 1000 to 1000 pounds the pro-
duction is nine to eleven tons, with
slightly greater total value than the
manure from horse.
Three to five months exposure to
the weather in an open lot may cause
manure to lose approximately one-third
Of its plant food. If manure must be
exposed to the weather it should be in
a pit with a wafer tight bottom.

Be not mistaken about neckwear o1
persuaded that the neck unadOrned
can hold it's own against one that is
clothed with pretty furbelows. As
usual, the approaching holidays find
neckwear departments in the stores all
blossoming out with collars, fichus,
ties, scarfs, guimpes, jabots and YES
tees, singly and in combinations and
made Of many different materials.
Leading off are lace and net, following
close are organdie, batiste, scrim and
crepe georgette. Then there are mar
row silk or velvet ribbons in ties, and
an armysof knitted scarfs. And ev-
cry article is a possible gift that will
be a joy to it's recipient. Just few
pieces are grouped together in the pic
ture above.
The scarf shown at the top Of the
group, is knitted of light gray yarn
and finished at the ends with q tied
fringe Of the yarn. Its special pride
and glory lie in the sprays Of roses
crocheted of the same wool as the
scarf and fastened to its ends.
Just below this scarf the collar and
one cuff Of a filet collar-and cuff set
show such a combination to be easily
made. The filet is bought by the yard
measured into the lengths wanted and
cut off. The ends Of the collar and
the cuffs are finished with very mar

edge sewed to a narrow band of fine
batiste.

The evening wrap is thing apart
It bears some style relation to the
daytime coat, but it has a much broad
er license in the matters of material,
color and line. Rich satin, sumptuous
velvet and magnificent brocades are
the mediums of expression. And it is in
the evening cloaks that one finds the
subtle drapery hard to describe and
even more difficult to initiate. The
fact that the ensemble is one Of strik-
