 SOUTHERN CLUB PARTY

Not a day comes but the Southern club is a resort for the meeting of friends during. the lunch hour, where the cafe is one of the most beautiful and popular places in the city. There is always music and flowers and deco rated tables. Visitors from out of town are entertained by friends, and there is a general air of nominees, making the noon hour a coveted one.
 This is particularly true on Satur- days. when the many tables are filled always. Yesterday was no exception, and the cold, gray day outside made no difference to those fortunate enough to be either host or guest The pros gramme of music with an aug nented orchestra was we'll rendered by MT.

ed perfectly. The longer it stands
in the field the more rapidly the
grade and quality deteriorate. We
found in tests here at Athens that
strict good middling cotton would
become below grade by January l II
simply allowed to stand in the open.
You know, of course, that not much
cotton is picked when it should be.
The deterioration in grade results
in heavy loss to the producer and
to those who in turn are dependent
on the producers for the successful
operation of their business.
We should not mix different
grades of, cotton in the same bale.
In other words, we should keep
strict good middling in one bale and
put good ordinary, say, in another
bale and dogtails in another bale.
If we mix the grades we make the
bale sell on the basis of the lowest
type of cotton found therein. Natu-
rally the business could not be han
died in any other way. Many bale
of cotton which contains one-half
orr two-thirds strict good middling.
for instance, is sold as good ordl-
nary cotton. Instead of getting
II IL cents or IS cents for his good
cotton the farmer sells it all for
6 IL cents. These are conditions
which education and a concerted eff
fort on the part of our farmers and
business interests will eliminate. 1t
would enable us to save great deal
of money that now slips through our
fingers after we are on the road to
securing lit or even after we in one
sense actually hold it in our hands.

WHEN AND HOW TO USE
NITRATE UNDER COTTON

l. S.. Osierfield, Ga, writes:
am planning to plant about ten
acres in cotton. / aim to use
zoo DnunCr of guano and a pro-
port1onate amount of nitrate of
soda. I am aiming to plant
Wa2pamaker, a big seed cotton.
Wculd you advise me to put
the soda under the cotton when
planting or apply at later
period?
In planting cotton in a section
where the boil weevil is well estab-
lished, one should endeavor to so
handle the crop as to force it to ma
turity in the shortest pos siple space
of time. To this end, you will find
it highly desirable to fertilize lib
orally and to put all the fertilizer
under the drill row when the cot
ton is planted. When the boil weevil
is bad, a top crop of cotton is never
harvested. You must depend for
the cotton you secure upon that
which has set on early and develops
as it were on the first limbs grown
out by the plant.
We have found the Wannamaker
a good standard sort of cotton to
plant. 1t is one of the earliest
strains adapted for general cultiva-
ton in Georgia. We do not happen
to be acquainted with the particu-
lar strain to which you refer as
there are many of these on the mar
ket. Securing good seed is an i'm
portant factor in producing a salts
factory crop.
We think that one should use
not less than 800 and better 500
pounds Of fertilizer per acre under
cotton in your situation. We would
cut the acreage and concentrate
rather than extend the acreage and
less fertilizer to the acre. 1t is our
belief that about twenty to thirty
pounds of nitrogen. forty to fifty
mounds of phosphoric acid and fiji
teen to twenty pounds of potash
should be applied per acre.
The amounts of available plant
food indicated should supplement
what can be secured from the soil in
a manner calculated to insure your

sirable nor likely to prove profitable

Real fertilization began with the
importation of Peruvian guano, with
the manufacture of superphosphates
from bone in England and with the
discovery that the potash salts of
Germany and Alsace-Lorraine were
not merely put there by an All-Wise
Creator for the sole purpose of be-
ing a hindrance in getting, pure salt
for home use, but they had great
value in a manurlal way.
Most of the potash used in com
lnercial fertilizers comes from the
famous deposits in Germany and the
French provinces of Alsace-Lorralne
They were discovered in the process
of boring for common salt deposits
and from the way in which they are
laid down, seem to have been formed
by the action of some inland sea fed
internationally by the ocean water
and laying down deposit upon deposit
of crude potash salts year after year.
kainit, is a natural salt sold just as
it is mined without being refined in
any way 1t is used as fertilizer in
Europe more extensively because 1t
only contains about II per cent OF
pure potash and it's cost is not pro-
hibitiVe when used near to the mines.
1t is also used in this country, how
ever, in the crude state, but more
largely in the commercial mixtures.
Kainit should not be used on plants
which will be hurt by the chlorides
that it contains. Such plants as to-
bacco and sugar beets, and, potatoes
where these are to be used for the
manufacture of starch, need more
refined form.
Sylvanit is another crude but Tess
abundant salt often applied to the
land directly. 1t contains about IL
per cent potash and is sold at
lower price than kainit.
Muriate of potash is the salt sold
chiefly and is used more extensively
than any other in mixing high-grade
goods. 1t contains from 4S to so per
cent potash and is manufactured
from the crude salt carnallit, which
ordinarily runs about 8 per cent pot

ash. Muriate of potash contains a
great deal of common salt.
Sulphate of potash is more refined
than the muriate, being refined out of
muriate sometimes but generally
manufactured from the crude kieserit
or from kainit. 1t is guaranteed to
contain about 48 per cent actual pot
ash, but is less diffusible than the
muriate. The chlorides are refined
out as we'll as large part of the
magnesia.
Double sulphate of potash and
magnesia or double manure salts, as
it used to be known, is obtained by
refining kainit and is similar to the
sulphate of potash in that 1t contains
no chlorides and is free from some
other injurious substances. 1t con-
tains about 25 to &c per cent of
potash and about an equal amount
of magnesium.
Another salt of less Importance,
but one that gave promise of being
of much value to the farmers is the
double carbonate of potash and mag
nesia which contain about 20 per
cent of potash and an equal amount
of magnesia. 1t is especially helpful
where the soil needs an alkaline
treatment.
Cottonseed meal and tobacco stems
furnish about the only two organic
sources of potash as employed in
fertilizers. The amount is very small
as these two are used also as car
riers of nitrogen. The tobacco waste
is used during times of scarcity of
potash. This product is composed of
the stems and stalks ground into a
finely divided state and gives a high
grade source of potash when secured
in sufficient quantities.
Several attempts are being made to
find suitable crude products from
which to manufacture potash in this
country. One or two of the saline
lakes of the west, the giant kelp or
seaweed in the Pacific ocean, and the
aluinite deposits are giving some
tonnage for domestic use. AS yet,
these are Of relatively small impor-
lance, with the exception probably
of the Nebraska and Utah sources.

O., P. W., Rome, Ca, writes: I
wish all the information in re-
gard to the cultivation of cotton
IN this section. What kind of
staple would you advise using?
r. The staple of cotton from upland
varieties must be seven-eighths of
an inch and upward in length. There
are certain strains of cotton which
nave been developed and widely eX-
plotted in this state which yield a
staple less than seven-eighths inch
in length. and, therefore, the cult
walton of these varieties is to be
d1Scoura ged because even after the
crop has been harvested it is bound
TO sell at an extremely low price.
My suggestion is that varieties hav-
ing staple equal to that of College

cotton, however, will sell for about
three times as much per paund as
that from College No. ].
My suggestion was that We en-
phasize the cultivation of more of
the long staple upland varieties.
Where we do this, however. the cot
ton must be ginned on a roller gin.
If ginned on an ordinary saw gin
the staple will be so badly cut as
to depreciate its value even below
that of variety like College No. 1.
The selection of a variety of cotton
is. therefore most important. 1t must
be sufficiently early so we can grow
1t with considerable success under
boil weevil infestation. 1t must be
of staple quality, it must be free
from disease and it must be adapted
to the soil and climatic conditions
under which it is to be cultivated.
There are many varieties, for in

quirements and their cultivation on
that account should be discouraged.

Hints on Proper Food

Some of the things housewives
should remember in preparing food
are:
That more food is required in cold
weather than in hot.
That a sedentary worker requires
less food than a person engaged IN
heavy manual labor.
That children require plenty Of
food to make them grow.
That restless people use up much
energy and therefore should consume
more food than persons with letnar-
gic temperaments.
That tall, thin persons require
more food than short. plump ones
