DALTON, Ca, March John
Howard, an alleged liquor runner Of
Apison, Tenn, was sho tand killed
Just south of Spring Place, in Murray
county, late Saturday night. the
shooting being done by officers who
were trying to stop his car when he
was suspected of transporting liquor,
according to the meagre information
relative to the affair which has
reached here.
Howard's car stained with blood,
was found alongside the road Sun
day morning, but the body had been
removed.
The slain han mad served time on
the chaingang in this county for

Wrinkle, aged woman, in her North
Dalton home on January "a, has
been released from custody, being

had been killing hogs.
The investigation Of the crime has

in spite of the $1,000 reward money
offered for the slayer, it begins to
appear that 1t will prove one Of the
criminal mysteries that will never

the advance guard. I had just come
in the house, the icicles were gilt

faith can be said to be so; wherefore
faith must be always in exercise.
Faith is the eye, is the mouth, is
the hand, and one of these is Of use

The so-called Norwegian nitrate Of
lime is q commercial product made
by means Of the electrical arc. The
nitrogen thus obtained is combined
with lime, making what is known
as calcium nitrate. This is a very
desirable form Of nitrogen. Each
100 pounds contains about 10 pounds
of available plant food. 1t has
many of the same characteristics as
nitrate Of soda and is quickly avail

of lime is of some advantage. Nj

Supplemental Pastures for Hogs
w. o. c., Sumter, S. c.,
writes: I have a piece of land
300 yards long by 40 yards wide.
I wish to know how to divide
this plat and what to plant to
furnish a succession of grazing
for a sow and pigs.
In your situation we would divide
the area mentioned in about four
equal plats of ground. Each would,
therefore, be IS yards wide and 40
yards long. These areas should be
permanently fenced if you expect
to use this plat of ground for hog
raising. The area in question should
be joined to a permanent pasture SO
that the hogs may have the run of
well-grassed soil from time to time.
They should have a piece of wood
land to range over as well, and this
will also provide the shade needed
during the summer.
Each area in question should be
planted to some crop which will ma
ture at a different season Of the
year. so as to have as much green
food as possible available for the
hogs throughout the entire summer
and fall. One of the crops which
you can use is rape, which may be
seeded about February l to Is. On
another area you may plant millet
or sorghum and soy beans or cow
peas. Planting should be done as
early as danger Of frost is past and
you can secure a quick termination
of these crops. Another area should
be devoted to early corn and cow
peas. or soy beans and peanuts. The
fourth area should be planted to
corn and velvet beans, with sweet
potatoes between the rows.
You will need to feed some sup
Elemental grain crops to hogs
grazing on these areas. Shorts
would be better for the brood sow
soon after the young pigs have been
narrowed and until they have learn
ed to rustic for themselves. Aft
er that you may feed as much as
two pounds of shelled corn per head
per day. This could be fed in a
trough placed in the area on which
the animal is grazing at the partic-
ular time. AS each crop is grazed
or harvested plant another which
will come on and make succession
of food to be used at q later sea-
son of the year.

Feeding the Cotton Plant in

pounds of acid phosphate and
400 pounds of nitrate of soda at
the rate of 200 pounds per acre.
What about Norwegian nitrate
OF lime? Will it take the place
of nitrate of soda?
Your description of your land
makes it quite clear that you pos
sess an area Of what Is known as
the Triton sandy loan. This IS one
or the best soils in south Georgia.
1t is no tonly we'll drained, but is
Irlable and easy to work. and it is
soil relatively rich in plant food
constituents. 1t is an excellent cot
ton and corn soil when properly fer
tlized and handled.
You will not make a mistake in
planting College No. 1. 1t is about
the earliest maturing variety Of cot
ton with which we are acquainted.
The staple is good and it is free of
vegetable limbs, a thing that makes
many Of the large-stalked varieties
undesirable for cultivation under boil
weevil conditions. We are still of
the opinion that this cotton does bet
ter when planted in four-foot rows.
The plants should be spaced about
IL inches apart in the drill and two
plants left in each hill. If you
decide to plant the large coarse
stalked varieties we would plant
them much thicker than this, say
leave the plants about s to 10 inches
apart in the drill.
The fertilizer you propose to use
would not be well balanced from our
point of view. In other words, we
would cut down the phosphoric acid
considerably and add some kainit.
Three hundred pounds of kainit
would. in our judgment, be about
the right amount to use. This would
still leave you a formula containing
10 per cent available phosphoric
acid, 80 per cent available nitrogen,
and about 2.25 per cent available pot
ash. We think you would find 500
pounds of this mixture much better
suited to the needs of cotton on the
type of land you describe than the
formula you propose to use. The
fertilizer should be put under the
drill row at the time the cotton is
planted and mixed well with the
sub-soil. It is well to apply it sew

The Possibilities of the Dairy

J. r. P, Newborn, Ca. writes:
/ wish some information in re-

We will only make from one to
two bales of cotton to the pillow.
Your advice in this matter Will

ANY change in farm practice
which you may undertake and IN.
stitute as a result of the boil weevil
invasion should be very carefully
thought out. / presume that most
people believe that cotton can no
longer be grown with profit and adj
vantage. I think they are mistaken
in this. 1t will certainly be more
difficult to grow cotton, and 1t will
probably cost considerably more by
reason of the fact that maximum
crops may not often be obtained.
The boil weevil will come like 9TH

We will also learn in the course OF
time how to fight 1t more success
fully than we have done up to the
present time. There are farms in
south Georgia which have been In

as seven years where they still raise

most prolonged type Of weevH In

 BALANCE SHEETS
 UNPUBLISHED

Chicago, Dec. 23-Suppressed baz- s.nce sheets of the Post Office Depart ment have been made public by for nIer Director of the Budget Charles G. Dawes.
 General Dawes pointed out that the report shows a deficit of $16. .19S, 900 for the first quarter of 1922, or at the rate of more than s64 100000 for :he year. This comes as a shock to persons who have been under the impression for years that the Post Office was self-sustainiug.
 The balance sheet hints that "oth- CT causes should be made % S>o- ject for emphasis when the govern Inent describes the deficit as on Dec. 5. to fire, burglary and other causes"
 General Dawes said the Post Ofhce report and balance sheet were avail able last April. When it was sub- n1itted he said 1t was "chucked into the waste basket so to speak, by lot of subordinates who are opposed to change and who in his own or ganization had kept it from the comp troller general himself.
 He declared he believed officials are able to learn how efficiently and economically their various depart ments are being run only through such business reports as the Post Off, flee Department uses.
 The gover ent, he asserted should either put the Post Office De- on self-sustaining basis or present the facts to the public.

Washington, Dec. 23 - President Harding's Christmas pardon list made public yesterday afternoon by the Department of Justice provides no executive clemency for any of the s2 political prisoners still remaining in Federal penitentiaries for war time sentences.
 Pardon were issued to only three men. all of whom are now serving sentences in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. They are:
 Thomas Parker, of Texas, who has served a five year sentence for man slaughter; John M. Delaney, of Cali tornia, who was convicted in April, 1922, of conspiracy to forge; John Carl, of Canada. who has served 10 years for second degree murder.
 While Department of Justice ofr1- =ials said no other presidential par dons were ready to be made public, It was expected at the White House the additional grants of clemency night be forthcoming within the next 36 hours.
