the row-a hoe width apart-that the
lower or vcgetative branches do not
develop. and the growth Of the plant
goes directly into the upper or fruit
ing branches, permitting them to begin
the development of blossoms and bolls
earlier and giving them more nourish-
mcnt and more light.
The cultural ideal under the new
system is. 4 cotton plant with only the
single, erect. central stalk bearing .nu-
merous we'll developed fruiting
branches, but none of the vegetatilYe
branches or secondary stalks. The
suppression of the yegetative branches
is easily accomplished by leaving the
young plants close together In the
rows. Thinning is deferred until the
plants are some to inches high, or
even later under conditions of rank
growth If the young plants stand less
than inches during these early stages
of growth, more .of them Will not. pro-
duce many vegetative branches, but
will have only the upright central
stalk and the horizontal fruiting
branches.
The distance between the plants is
regulated with reference to local con-
dtions and the habit Of growth OF DIFF
rerent varieties, the range being be-
tween 6 and 12 inches. The plants
then have Il narrow upright form and
can be left closer together in the rows.
Even with the plants only or inches
apart in the rows there may be less
injurious crowding than with large
many-stalked plants feet apart IN
the rows. The distance between the
rows. usually 81. feet, can also be
varied with reference to local condl-
tions, but crowding the rows together,
so that the. sui suhh1 Edoes not reach the

SPECIAL OFFICER
 SHOT BY NEGRO; BADLY WOUNDED
George C. Mason of Little Rock is Victim of un- identified Assailant-His Own Gun Used.

Little Rock, Sept. 6.-Georgc E. Mason, aged 24, special agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad, was shot with his own revolver and dangerously wounded by an unidenti- fled negro at Ninth and Poplar streets, North Little Rock, last night. The officer was rushed in P. H. Ruebel & Co. ambulance to the Baptist hospital in Little Rock. where an operation was performed The bullet struck the officer in the right side, ranging down and back through the liver. Dr. w. r. Smith, division surgeon for the Missouri Pacific, last night said that Mason was in a dangerous condition, but that he had fighting chance for recovery.
 Mason and his partner, H. B. Stanley. first saw the negro as they searched north bound passenger train No. at 9 o'clock at the North Little Rock station. The negro was stealing a ride and when ordered off the train was very insolent and insulting, according to Stanley. He said Mason hit the negro with an object he picked up from the ground. after the negro had cursed Mason. The negro then grapplcd with Mason and took from him the weapon with which the officer struck him. stan ley was on the opposite side of the train, which had just started to pull out. and could not reach Mason until the train was gone.
 The negro had disappeared when Stanley reached Mason, but q search of the immediate vicinity, resulted in the arrest of the black. Stanley said the negro still was very insoiept and denied being the one taken from the train. Stanley said he was the same negro
 Stanley said Mason then told him to search another train which vaa due to reach there soon, Mason ac. companied tho negro to the yard office, distance of only a feN blocks. Arriving there and finding no one except negro employed as stock watchman there, Mason started to walk his prisoner to tho North Little Rock police station. They had reached Ninth and Poplar streets when the negro whiried around and snatched Mason's rcv0l- yer from the scabbara. He fired two shots and ran east on Ninth street. closely pursued by Mason. The wounded officer, however, weak ened rapidly and after running ! half block, staggered on . porch of a residence and asked for help.
