Al the very first meeting II was

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, a lack Of proper amount
Of moisture; still, it 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 a high percentage Of
phosphcric 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
larger side application Of fertilizer fol
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 Ii
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 IL
waist high to tasselling time.

BALD HEADS

They held banquet in Connecti-
cut, and $50 sat down to tables COW
cred with flowers and the best things
to eat. There never was more
lively company assembled. A shining
pate is the index to smiling mind.
Some fool people think bald head
is a tender subject, not to be referred
to, especially in the company of la
dies, but that is an unmitigated false
hood. says The Ohio State Journal.
We know man who cultivated a
long lock of hair which he combed
over his dome to hide his badness,
and that habit he kept up for a while,
and all this time he seemed to have
miserable little sorrow on his mind
But one day he whacked off that lock
and appeared with FURNISHED dome
before the world. From that time he
was happy. His bald head made him
! so. We sometimes think that mer
with great shocks of hair are pecu
liarly miserable. But they should
not despair, for some day they will be
balder and wiser than they are now.
