MONSTER SCREEN AT
METHODIST CENTENARY
Special Lantern Devised For
Throwing Pictures.

Finishing details are being placed
on the arrangements for the erection
of the largest screen for the projec-
ton of pictures ever built in the
world. This is to be one of the fea-
lures of the Methodist Centenary Gel
ebration, to be held in Columbus.
June 20 to July Is.
This monster screen will have a
surface for pictures 115x115 feet. The
actual structure will be several feet
larger in each direction. A special
lantern has been successfully devised
for throwing these tremendous pic
lures the necessary distance. The
screen will be $50 feet from the near.
est spectator and will be built to
withstand 40 pounds pressure to the
square foot. The lantern which will
project these pictures has already
successfully thrown pictures on q
screen In New York City across a
distance Of four and q half city
blocks. According to Architect Harry
C. H%olbrook, the screen will be, in
effect, three sides Of a house. 1t is
necessary to give it the foundations
equivalent to a four-story building.
In order that there may be as much
salvage as possible after the screen
has served its purpose, the picture
face will be of fitted lumber, which
later will be treated with a white
surface preparation.
The estimated cos of this screen
will be $4,000. The screen and the
lantern will be used in showing the
tens Of thousands of views, made all
over the world by the Methodist
Missionary Survey, which has the
finest collection of pictorial reviews
anywhere in the world.

Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is in
full bloom ample plant food must be
available or else a large percentage
of the squares will shed. While there
are other factors that cause shedding,
for example, a lack of a proper amount
of moisture; still, it has been proven
that ever with the most favorable
moisture conditions, a 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 a
larger side application of fertilizer for
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 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 it,
growth, which is from the time 1t II
waist high to tasselling time.

Side applications Of fertilizers to
the growing crops as a supplement to
a first application made at seeding
time is quite widely practiced in the
South.
The writer recently obtained from
county agents the anne Of leading
farmers of North and South Carolina
who make a bale or more of cotton
per acre. These farmers were ad-
dressed a letter and asked, among
other things, to tell how they fertil-
ICED their cotton. In these answers
a large proportion report that they
make side applications of fertilizer.

cal of the rest are given herewith:

Last week, an article, or adver-
tisement. appeared in the when
You See 1t in the Sentinel, It's so"
relative to the proposed road
bond issue for Granger equity.
The writer of this article, or ad.
as the case may be, is evidently
a resident of the county, but he
displays a woeful amount Of ig-
norance as to its financial condi-
ito. We quote from him the fol-
lowing. "Grangeri is a small county
The assessed value of all property
in it is only So, 100000, and it now
has a bonded Indebtedness Of 81,
300. O0O." And another statnlent:
IF 100000 of bonds are now is
sured the property will be mot
gagged to one fourth of its value"
Since only the cuonty court has
rutharity to deal with the bond
proposition, we do not desire to
take issue with the writer. but
merely call the attention of our
readers to the absurdity of his
statements. The assessed valuat-
ion of all the property in this
county is only about two million
dollars, and its bonded indebted
ness is only three hundred thous-
and. Perhaps after July l, this
writer, or advertiser, can see with
a clearer vision--figures will not
multiply so rapidly.
