TOPDRESSING FOR COTTON
T. E. Keitt. Chemist

The writer has found that the top
dressing of cotton, especially on sandy
land, pays. 1t should prove most
profitable in middle and south Geor-
gia. The two main sources of nitro
gen used for topdressing are nitrate
of soda and sulphate of ammonia.
Nitrogen in these sources is compar-
atively cheap at present prices the
unite cost is under $500, sulphate of
ammonia being cheaper than nitrate
of soda per unit of ammonia.
Applications of 100 lbs. of nitrate
nitrate of soda have increased the
yield of cotton by more than 800 lbs.
of seed cotton, with even a greater
increase for the same amount of am
monia in the form of sulphate of am
monia.
On loan to heavier soils we advise
the application at the time that the
squares begin to form, while on light
err soils about the time that the first
blooms appear. 1t is preferably ap-
piled just before the cotton is cult
waited and when thtre is a good sup
ply of moisture present, for quickest
action.
When these soluble sources of nj
trogen are applied to growing crops
there is comparatively little loss due
to teaching, even on very sandy soils.

Some people think newspaper is

If an editor had to remember all
the mean things that people do and
say, his mind would be an awful
slush-pot. Therefore it is probable
that he has long forgotten the Incl

Better Stock and Crops is Motto

Better Stock and Crops is Motto
Better stock and better crop yields
is the motto of the county agent of
Fairfield County, S. c. In carrying
out this purpose he is waging cam
paigns for the importation into the
county of more pure-bred bulls and
for cooperative buying and home
mixing of fertilizers to stimulate the
crop yields. He has already assisted
farmers in ordering number of pure
bred bulls and hopes to get more of
them into the county this year than
ever before. He has demonstrated to
the farmers of the county how to place
cooperative orders for fertilizers.
Two hundred and seventy tons of 16
per cent acid phosphate was ordered
by farmers.

Let us again urge that plenty of
grazing crops for the hogs be plant
ed. There is simply no other way to
have low-cost hogs to sell at high
prices this fall. Such crops should be
planted so as to come on in success
sion, giving the pigs plenty of feed,
easily gotten at, all the season. The
pig that does best must never be
stunted by a lack of feed, and the
way to avoid feed shortages is to
plan and plant ahead. A stitch in
time will do the iob.-Progressive
Farmer.

Play Written by County Agent

Pittsylvania County, Virginia, has
play of it's own = written by its
county agent. The cast is composed
of local agricultural club members
In every place where "The Conversion
of Pa" has ben presented this rural
play has drawn record-breaking
crowds. "Pa" is a conservative farm
er, with a progressive son named
Willie. The county where they live
hires an agent--a proceeding which
excites PAS" scorn and derision, and
he fatty refuses to let his son join
the boys corn club, which the agent
organizes. The means taken to con-
vince PA" that the work of the coun-
ty agent is valuable, and his subse-
quent change of heart, form the plot
of this little farm drama with a real
country atmosphere.

SHOE DEALER DEFENDED.
Salesman Says Retail
ere Are Not Profiteering.

The following open letter in de-
Tense of the retail shoe merchants mas
been received by the editor OF The
Times Republican,:
Dear Sir:-I am addressing this open
letter to YOU with the hope that it may
in a Measure counteract the false i'm
preston now prevailing regarding
profiteering in the shoe business.
The opinion now entertained by the
consumer has been largely augmented
by newspapers publishing articles
based either on false information or
no information at all, and in a grea'
many cases just insinuations that Gre
ate the thought that the consumers
are being robbed by the dealers IN
shoes. Now ! am not going to attempt
a. defense of the tanner and the manu-
facturer for this reason, Nthe deIense
would have to be SO largely technlcai,
dealing of necessity in figures treating
of world supply In feathers, imports
and exports, comparisons and so forth
of pre-war supplies and demands and
todays conditions that the article
would be about so much Greek 10 tne
Law mind and Just about as convincing.
But I do want to absolve the retainer
of the unjust stigma that has been at
tached to him by the new articles
above mentioned I am going to put II
in. way that believe you VIII con-
cede will be convincing to any far
minded person Ny proposition is
this: IF the Marshalltown Club VIII
select a committee composed OF =
farmer a banker, lawyer, doctor,
merchant (not engaged in selling
| shoes) and laboring man. and don't
convince that committee that they can
buy shoes at retail in Marshaltown
cheaper than the same shoes can be
bought today from the manufacturers
| or the iobber of the same shoe, III DO
nate $50 to any charity the committee
may select.
I am in a position to make this
statement because am travelling
| salesman selling shoes for one OF the
largest shoe manufactures in America,

evening. After explaining that they
had driven from Gilman to join In the
celebration. the wife remarked:
Aren't we the old fools, thor Here
we are 70 years old, but we did so
want to hear the band and help the

the concert and watching the dancers
they partook OF all the refreshments
