of the club year of $52.43.
We believe that now the most ap-
preciated social event of the club year
is the reception which was given by
the club with the kind cooperation of
commitsee appointed by the COM
mercial club, for Mrs. Balanbanoff,
the state woman's club president.
Since the passing of Mrs. Balaban-

pleasure of meeting and knowing her
for even a little while, not only as
our state president, but as a woman
whose splendid personality expressed
the principles, the aims and ideals

IRISH POTATO me- THING

Those who wish 10 plant the Ir-

The soil. I possible. SHOULD have
Ia good coat Of manure and then be

decay the manure would be help
ful. The most successful growers
think That March is the best time
to plant and they advise that only
the very early varieties be planted
as these will maiurei n time 10

ground.

There Is little difference in the

COTTON CULTURE IN
EDDY COUNTi-NOTEs

One Of the most helpful addresses
given at the state college durin
the short curse week was that o
w. l.. Ensifer Of Eddy county, who
told. In considerable detail as &.
the acreage, income. methods OF
cultivation and irrigation, Of IN,
cotton crop as II Is grown IN thu
county.
The average yield per acre fof
the entire county. he says. Is six
tenths of a bale per acre and tn
average income for both lint an
seed Is si6i per acre.
Mr.. Ensifer had no figures on IN
cost Of producing these crops but
he estimated that the cost Of grow
ing these crops up 10 the pickinr
time was from S35 10 $50 per
acre. To this must ne added IN,
lcosi Of picking and hauling 10 tn
Sin. The cost Of picking in that
vicinity is 50 per hundred punds
This would leave approximately So
10 500 per acre for net profit
Mr.. Ensifer. who Is an experience
ed cotton grower. maintains thai
cotton will do very we'll on poor
soil and on such soil he thinks
that II will do better than any
other crop. u Is not hard on the
soil. aud taking IL year after. year
cotton will do better on the same
soil than any other crop.
A well prepared seed bed is one
of the essentials for securing good
stands OF cotton. In preparing al
falfa ground for this crop il is sug-
gested that the alfalfa be plowod
shallow (about four inches deep
at first and then thoroughly pull
verified with a disc. Later this
ought TO be plowcd from eight
inches 10 ten inches deep and then
this should again be thoroughly
pulverized. listed aud irrigated.
The soil should be soaked from
four 10 five feet deep. Then as
lsoon as possible Il should be disked
and narrowed and worked down
level and borders made every eight
lor ten rows.
The seed should moi be planted
more than one and one-half Inches
deep and great a r must he taken
that all seed be planted at this
uniform depth IN moist soil. This
moisture ought 10 be sufficient "a
