Shock Of Automobile Accident
Said to Be Cause.

New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Oct. 3.
It was reported here to-day that King
Alexander of Serbia has had another
attack OF appendicitis following the
shock which he received yesterday. when
his automobile. in which he was riding,
crashed into motor car belonging to
Count Bonin-Longare, italian Ambas-
sador to France. Reports of the King S
condition and diagnoses Of his illness
vary according to the circles wherein
he is the subject of discussion.
Much mystery has veiied the Serbian
King since he became a monarch, and
the Serbian Legation here has done it's
utmost to keep the public ignorant of
his health and daily doings ever since
his peculiar case Of appendicitis" first
developed-an illness which called for
choicest beefsteaks and plenty of veg
etables, instead Of a milk diet, which is
usually prescribed by physicians in such
cases
The Serbian Minister here authorized
statement to-day that the King was
not In his automobile yesterday when
the crash occurred. THE NEW YORK
HERALD Bureau is informed by authentic
sources, however, that not only was the
King in his motor car at the time but
that he was cut on one of his legs. Ply
sicians have advised him to remain in
his apartment for two or three days.

tected an irregularity in his books that
he had been stealing the banks funds
for ten years. Despite the fact that
his friends made up the banks losses
and the bank officials refused to enter
any complaint with the authorities. the
young man was arrested on complaint
of Federal authorities and is awaiting
trial.
His popularity Is so great in New
Canaan that the citizens not only did
not take his name Off the town ticket,
he having been nominated for town
auditor before he was arrested, but also
they are doing all In their power to
have him dealt with leniently by the
Federal authorities. They blame his
trouble on the small salary he received.

VALUE OF COTTON
SEED AS FERTILIZER
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco

Atlanta, Ga. - February. - Il would

Of doing, according to ]. N. Harper,
several years in experiment station
work in the South, and now director of
the Soil Improvement Committee. Con-
finuing he says:
'Ii would be a mistake for two rea-
Sons: First, the South would be de-
priyed of O. great wealth producing

Ond, cotton seed are not the best form
OF fertilizer to apply.
"On the first point, while it is un-
fortunate that the vegetable oil market
Is off and the oil miller cannot offer
what the seed are really worth, it is
better to accept what the miller can
afford to give than to allow the oil to
be destroyed when 1t is needed so
much especially in starving Europe.
To use cotton seed as fertilizer
is to throw away the oil of the seed,
for oil is not plant food; in fact, it is
believed that it will retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food, but
when the seed are applied, it is not
possible to scatter it so as to feed
the crop properly. 1t puts the plant
food on the land in Jumps as repre-
scented by the seed.
1T takes the seed a long time to
decay and become plant food. In fact,
NO great amount Of the plant food in
cotton seed is ever actually used by
the crop. AS evidence of this, we cite
Farmers Bulletin 286 OF the United
States Department of Agriculture, page
3, from which we quote: The seeds
are incased in hulls which must de-
cay before the crop can utilize the

their decomposition, so that consider
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case of very dry season,
It does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop, and no
doubt a portion of it fails to become
available until after the crop natures
"A table on page of this bulletin
shows that a difference of 303 lbs.
of seed cotton per acre in favor of
cotton seed meal as compared with
cotton seed, was obtained in a test
where twice as much cotton seed was
used as meal.
"South Carolina Experiment Station
tests and tests of four other southern
states show that pound of a well
balanced mixed fertilizer will produce

test in Alabama shows that it took
2 pounds of cotton seed to produce a
