Side Applications to Cotton.
At the time the cotton plant is in
full bloom, ample plant food must be
available + else a large percentage
OF the squares will shed. While there
are other factors thar cause shedding.
for example, . lack OF q proper amount
81 mOisture; still, it has been proven
that even with the most favorable
moisture conditions, a lack of plant
food is the potent cause OF this
trouble.
Under boil wssvil 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 I O quick growth and early ma.
turity. :
Side Applications to Corn.
While il usually pays to make .
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 10
much shorter than that of cotton; con-.
seauently, there must be present in
the soil large supplies OF available
Giant food at the critical period OF its
Growth, which is from the time u y
maist high to t~assellins time.

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

Whereas. a knightly sou, fell
asleep when William Rayburn Broad
street was called away from his
earthly labors to his Heavenly
Fathers house; and.
Whereas. we realize taat his short
life of eighteen ycars was IN Of
service to God ana his fellow man,
and that he was a "eritable Sir
Galahad whose strength WAS as the
strength Of ten because his heart was
| pure" and,
Whereas. his sweet spirit. lDvable
| qualities, attractive personality and
| strong, moral character endeaied
| him to US and proved an inspiration
to U.S.
Therefore. Be it Resolved. that
the Sunday School of the, Presby-
terrain Church of Grenada, Missis-
sippi. has lost a faithful member and
an efficient officer. and that we. the
members of the Sunday School. have
been deeply grieved on account OF
the death of our young friend and
brother, and that we sy1npathlze
most genuinely and tenderly with
his stricken family;
Resolved. further, that though his,
body is now sleeping on the hillside
in the shadow of the pines, we will
not suffer the influence of his beau
tiful life of service to die, and that
it will be ours to hold high the torch
which he has thrown to U.s..
Resolved. further. that these reso-
lutions be spread upon the records
Of our Sunday School, and printed in

TWO HUNDRED POUND
TARpON CAPTURED

Ex-senator Nathan p. Bryan
and Chas. E. Pelot, accompanied
by their wives, and A. III. King,
all of Jacksonville, and Miss Car
son Of Kissimmee, arrived here
last Thursday evening and took
rooms at the Seminole Hotel.
They had been at Marco, trying
to catch tarpon, but, having no
luck, came here.
Friday morning, the three gen
tlemen secured the services of
that expert guide, Charley Pratt,
and made piscatorial recon
Nuisance on the bay in front of
town. They hooked three tar
pom, but two of them escaped, and
they got only one S0-pounder,
Next day, with Pratt as guide,
they made another round of the
bay front, This time, they had
some excitment. They hooked
and landed one tarpon 6 feet, S1a
inches long and weighing over
200 pounds. Some experts insist
ed that the fish would weigh ESQ
pounds.
Again they tried their luck the
same day and they hooked the
king of all the tarpon in the Gulf
and its tributaries. Charley Pratt
said that the weight of this fish
was undeniably over 300 pounds.
He fought for three solid hours,
timed by Senator Bryan's watch.
He tired out all three gentlemen.
They took turns in the effort to
conquer this monster fish. One
man played him for an hour, un-
til completely exhausted, and
then the second man relieved the
first with the same result-worn
out in an hour. Then the third
man tried it, and he, also, sue
cumbed at the end Of an hour.
Then the fish escaped! 0 what a
lame and impotent conclusionl
The biggest fish always escape.

corn and sorghum families, and a
native of India, finds its natural
habitat in the tropics and semi
tropics, requiring a long growing
season to properly mature. 1t is
propagated commercially from
cuttings taken from the stalk.
Sugar cane does not "arrow-out"
or produce seed in Florida north
Of the 2Sth parallel in general, but
in South Florida it blossoms
about mid-winter. 1t is a very
vigorous and rugged plant, stand
ing adverse conditions and treat
ment well, and responding Won
derfully to intensive culture. It's
habit of stooling out" from the
root-rock makes it possible to
harvest from two to twenty or
more rattoon" crops depending
upon the climatic conditions of
the section where it is growing.
In Dade county and on Cape Sa-
BILE, Monroe county, there are
patches of cane which have con-
tinued to "stool out" and pro-
duce profitable rattoons or stub
BILE crops for over eighteen years.
In North Florida, one plant crop
followed by one or two stubble
crops is the general custom. The
cane stalk is always sweetest at
its lower end, which has the high
est content of cane sugar, or
sucrose. The top of the cane is
much lower in sugar content, con-
tains large amounts Of gums, re-
ducing sugars, glucose, and is
utilized for planting for
which purpose it is just as good
as other parts of the stalk. The
stalk Of the. sugar cane analyses
about 80 per cent juice, the juice
averaging on good Florida sugar
land about IL per cent sucrose.
1t takes about four tons of good
cane to plant one acre. One acre
of good cane will plant approx
mately five acres. One man and
a team of mules can grow twenty
acres of cane and more, if the |
man is hustler. Some of the
best varieties suitable for Florida |
planting are the Bourbon, the
Simpson or Green cane, the D-74
Of the Louisiana experiment sta
tion, the Red and Yellow Ribbon
cane and the Crystalline. Cane
may be planted in the fall in
North Florida between October Is
and November Is, or in the spring
season about the same time as
oorn planting. In tropical Florl-
la cane may be planted at any
line, and will grow satisfactorily. !
The usual custom is to use only
he tops for planting similar acre
ages each year, one acre Of tops +
being sufficient to plant a little /
)ver an acre of cane. If the cane
S fall planted it should be bedded
our inches deep to protect it
rom cold, and about two inches
# this soil removed in the spring
o admit heat and air at germina-
ion time. Spring planted cane
equires only about two inches
Iepth of soil.
The best cane soils are the well
rained low hammocls, marshes,
bottom lands and high
ammocks, where maximum crops s
re realized at low expense. High !
inc lands will produce good S
rops of rich cane under generous
and intelligent cul- 5

1t is what its name implies, an
industrial school, and it is found
ed on the idea that all the educa-
tion to be had is not restricted to
books. Hands as well as brains
are trained. Girls and boys are
taught useful, practical things
sewing, cooking, canning, dairy
ing, building, cabinet making,
gardening, farming, horticulture
everything of practical value
for which the pupil shows fond
ness or adaptability.
1t not a reform school; no
vicious children are admitted.
The pupils are all volunteers and,
as a result, they are accomplish
