GROW HIGHLY PRICED COTTON
Virgin Islands Produce Long-Staple
Z Variety That Is Almost Extinct
in the United States.

Cotton raising has become one Of
the principal Industries of the Virgin
islands, Uncle Sans newest territorial
possession, according to Bulletin No. l,
Sea Island Cotton in st. Croix, of the
Virgin Islands agricultural experiment
station, just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Sec ISLAND cotton, the much-prized,
long-staple variety which has been rem
dered almost extinct in continental
United States by the boil weevil, is
the basis of the Virgin Islands industry.
The area devoted to it while as yet
small, produced an average yield Of
1000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre
in 1919 and 1920. One of the plats at
the government experiment station
produced at the rate of 4,450 pounds
of seed cotton.

Nations Best Dairy Castle Craze Soil Containing Liberal Proportion
of Lime; the Nations Children of Years
!, Depend Mainly Upon Good Milk !

EFT NCLE SANS soil doctors are
u finding new ways to prolong
human and animal life. TheK
aim now is to bring about the more
extensive use of soil ingredients
that will afford a maximum of life
giving properties. Scientific proof
that lime mixed in the soil not only
results in more abundant agricul-
ture, but more healthful products,
rotary of Agriculture Wallace and
his corps Of experts Bulletins urg-
ing the more general use of lime in
soil treatment, are being spread
broadcast by the Government. De-
partment officials in their studies
are convinced that lime is needed by
animals as we'll as by plants.
When their attention was drawn
to the great mortality among ami
mails of all classes last year from
disease and exposure. it was their
conclusion that pastures upon which
animals graZed, because of lack in
nourishment, may have contributed
greatlyto this death rate. officials
of the Department declared that
lime is, essential to the full growth
and healthfuI pastures for animals.
Lime, they said, improves the quail
ity. and variety Of grasses and
clovers. Not only are the grasses
and clovers more abundant on lime
treated soils, but they are grown in
greater profusion.

eral proportion of lime, officials said.
The Nations children Of tender
years depend mainly upon good
milk. The soil doctors, therefore.
are advocates of better soil as
means of producing better plant

Secretary Hoover, the Nations
war time food chief is a great advo-
cate of the value Of milk in diet,
tains probably more lime than any
other food. Children assWell as the
grown-ups. officials said, need lime
in their diet because 1t is a great

Of lime upon their lands. 1t was
further said, that most farmers look
beyond their own horizon and have
the interest and welfare OF their
communities at heart. and of thoir
neighbors beyond their own borders.
In the Improvement OF the yielding

MOUNTAIN ALWAYS ON MOVE
Travels Approximately Ten Miles
Each Hundred Years.

Twenty miles north Of Las Cruces,
n. NJ, lies a remarkable natural phe-
nOmenon-a mountain Of calcium sui
phate, or lime. 1t is % miles long by
10 miles wide, and there are ridges
on it from 200 to 500 feet high. The
lime seems to ooze out Of the earth
like the waters of a boiling spring.
The assures through which the min
eral Is elected do not follow any gen.
eral course, but wind about in all di-
rectiOnS.
This mountain of lime is travelling
steadily westward at the rate of 10
miles each hundred years. Nothing
can stop it as it creeps along through
the centuries, destroying all in front
of it. The reason it travels west, in
stead of east, is on account of the
prevailing strong westerly winds.
When the sun is shining brightly one
cannot look upon its glaring whiteness
without the aid of smoked glasses.
Another of it's peculiarities is that it
is always moist six inches under the
top layer. The lime has a great affini
ty for water, which it abstracts from
the air.-Detroit News.

according to the rites Of chivalry be
presented to the duke At this eAlraOr
binary summons Philip, wise and

not to leave the yard.
