TOPDRESSING COTTON

now that the presence of the boil
weevil requires that everything pos
sible be done to hasten the maturity
of. an early crop. 1t is the opinion
of the writer that, generally speak
ing, topdressers are applied too late
for maximum benefits, especially
under boil weevil conditions, and
that best results will be obtained by
applying when the cotton plant is
about knee-high, or just beginning
to fruit we'll.
Briefly summarized: Experiments
indicate that the application of 100
or $50 pounds of topdresser, pre-
ferably mixture of nitrate of soda
and sulphate of ammonia, will ma
terially increase the yield of cotton;
and it is believed that best results
will be obtained, under boil weevil
conditions, by applying somewhat
earlier than is the general custom.

RAILROADS CALL ON Gov
EMINENT FOR $500, 100000
Executives Tell Congress Additional
Half Billion Is Needed to Pur-

Observation-Disclosures execu-
tives today asked congress for an ad-
ditional 500,00O,000 with which to
buy rolling stock during the coming
year.
Appearing before the senate inter
state commerce committee, repre-
sentatives of the carriers declared a
serious and general car shortage ex-
listed through the middle west and
that they were unable to borrow
money on their own credit for freight
cars needed to remedy the situation.
The Equipment Needed.
Some idea of what the roads need
ed in the way of equipment was Civ
en- the committee by E. N. Brown,
chairman of the st. Louis and San
Francisco, who declared the present
shortage amounted to 100000 freight
cars, $3.50 locomotives and 5000
passenger cars. He believed they
could get along for time with 100,-
900 freight cars and 1000 locomo-
tives, total cost of which was esti-
mated at $616,0O0,000.
The equipment of the roads was

accomplice.
Proved Wonderful Lover"
"Mr. Harrigan was a brilliant
conversationalist, equally at home
in religion, philosophy, ethics, or
what not" she said. "He proposed
marriage and, while was very fond
of him, l could not accept him be-
cause he refused to tell me of his
life or his business. But he was a
wonderful lover. He was kind and
considerate always"
According to the police the diary
of Harrigan shows that he must have
netted 100000 in the last year
through his sale. of stolen motor
cars alone. His workshop in the
leased warehouse proved to be one
of the most completely equipped of
it's kind in Chicago. Manufacturers
have identified every piece of the
equipment as having been stolen
from them.

Several hundred horseshoers already

because of a new agreement they
have demanded with their employers.
The demands include wage of

The first thing to consider in any
topdresser fertilizer is the readiness
with which the nitrogen may become
available as plant food. The ones
in most common use are sulphate of
ammonia and nitrate of soda. The
former contains considerably more
ammonia, which may usually be pur-
chased for slightly less per unit, but
it is not so quickly available as is
nitrate of soda. The nitrogen in sui
phate of ammonia is readily avail
able, however, and it can well be
used as a topdresser.
Each of these materials leave more
or less harmful residues in the soil.
In the case of nitrate of soda it is
alkaline, which results in a poor
physical condition of the soil, COM
monty known as "puddled.H Sui
phate of ammonia, on the other
hand, leaves a very different residue,
or one that is acid, which in large
amounts will tend to diminish crop
production, due to the inability of
most plants to grow in soil that
is appreciably acid. 1t is very doubt
full, however, if either of these nj
trogen carriers is ever applied in suf-
ficient quantities, and over long
enough periods, on the average farm,
to cause any i'll effects on account of
its use. Inasmuch as these two resi-
dues will readily combine to form
salt which may be slightly beneficial
at any rate not in the least harm
ful-it seems that the ideal material
for a topdresser would be mixture
containing approximately equal
amounts of each Experiments with
la mixture (40 per cent sulphate and
so per cent nitrate) when applied to
cotton at the rate of 80 pounds
per acre at the Georgia Experiment
Station in 1919 gave the following
results:

1t is interesting to note that the

the topdresser on the plot that re-

dition of $50 pounds of topdresser

QUESTION. What do | think of i
the Senatorial investigation oil

IOUESTION. What do I think of
X the Senatorial investigation OF
the projected $15,O0O,OOO campaign
fund? you ask me.
Answer. From the standpoint of
the defendants it is less like an in
vestigation than it is like a contest
for the Presidency of the Annanias
Club.
Q. Will Harding comply with Cox's
| demand to express himself on the
slush-fund scandal?
A. Although it is against Senator
Harding's policy to express himself
about anything that has happened
within the memory of the oldest in
habitant, he stated his views, in a
way, on this subject in a speech to
when he told them: citizenship is
based en- what one gives" boys, get
the money!.
Q, Will Harding come off the
porch?
A. Whether he does or not, he'll
have to come off the perch.
Q. What do | think of Harding
protection theories?
A. After careful peRusal of the
criminal code l think any protection
policy will be popular with some of
the witnesses in the slush-fund inves-
tigation.
Q. Will the Republican Commit
tee be able to gather in all the
Scream hst?"
A. That will depend upon whether

Bill Barnes cat.
And, by the way, if Bill Barnes,
author of 'Republicanism of 1927 is
the est. Paul" fthe Republican par
ty, then the author of Boys, Get the
Money" is its Minneapolis.
@. What do | think of the address
of Governor Cox and Senator Hard
ing to the farmers?
A. l think the farmers know the
dsffeJence between a real farmer
and the other member of AL Jolson's
front porch sketch.
Q. do you approve of Senator
Harding's position on the railroads
as stated in his endorsement of the
,Esch- Cummins plan in the act by
that name?
| A. Well, whatever may be my
views on plans, notice that the Re-
publican National Committee is stick
ing to the old Quay "plum plan"
@. Do | think that Governor Cox's
expose of the slush fund will have
a good result?
A. Well, that is all up to the Fed
eral grand juries; l believe that the
crime of perjury is still indictable
offense.

We had two terms each year. The

then the older boys and girls went
to school. Winter roads were toe
bad for the younger children. Sum-
mer school wasn't attended by the
large boys and girls; they were need.

In winter terms we had a mar

he was laying in the ammunition.
Always he'd lay for the toughest

there'd be a teacherly invitation to
