WOMAN WITH /
BAND BOX"

Yesterday morning when the train
pulled in from New Orleans a most
charming little French widow got off
the train carrying a mysterious band
box. The madam is en- route to
Bogalusa, and has been called to
Covington by certain secret Or
ganization," the name of which she
refuses to disclose, but will be an
nounced later. Her dashing appear
ance at the station caused a sensa-
ton among the men that one Of our
prominent bachelors Immediately
called a meeting of his pals at the
drug store to inform them not even
to take second look at her. How
ever, our reporter called at the hotel
for an interview and found that the
madam's band box not only contain
ed paint and powder and other
things, but also a basket of bugs.
The bugs are of a dangerous variety
all kinds and colors and about the
size of a boil weevil but if bitten by
any variety the victim Immediately
succumbs. So, bachelors beware;
your freedom is just about at an end
for these bugs have been, known to
throw hard-hearted bachelors into a
fever and when the fever has cooled
the bachelor would propose to the
first pretty girl he met.
The spinsters of the town are go
elated over the madam's. visit that
they have rented ,Parkview Theate-
for Friday, April 28th, at which time
the ma dam will give a public DEM
onstration of what these little bugs
can do.

funds LACKING FOR
SCHOOL YEAR '22-3
State Superintendent Is in
Favor Of Special Legisla-
tive Session.

Houston, Texs-Many of the county
school districts during the school year
of 1928 will be held down to terms
of four and five months, because funds
will be lacking to provide for longer
sessions, Miss Annie Webb Blanton,
state superintendent Of public instruc-
ton, declared this week.
"The per capita apportionment OF
school funds for the year 1928 will
not be more than $1,000 and probably
not more than $1O," she said.
1.-The rural aid appropriation for the
current year was $1,50O.000. and for
next year it will be $1,000,000. The
general appropriation for the current
year was $3,OO0,0O0. and for next year
will be nothing"
The school fund holds $3,OO0,OOO OF
bonds Of the state Of Texas, accord.
ing to Miss Blanton. on which the in
terest is past due and some OF the
bonds are past the maturity date.
Miss Blanton is in favor of special
session of the legislature to enact a
bill whereby the state would relieve
the school funds of the 3 per cent
bonds. enabling the school board to re
invest the money in 6 per cent school
bonds

RICH SOIL SURE
TO GET RESULTS
Dancer in Use of Too Much Com
merciaI Fertilizer; May In
lure the Plants.
As TOP OR SIDE DRESSING
NAV Be Mixed With Soil Along Rows
During the Period Of Growth
Mixtures Containing Much
Nitrogen Are Favored.

A limited quantity Of high-grade COM
mercial fertilizer can be used to adj
vantage on garden soils even where a
considerable supply of barnyard
manures have been applied. Com
mercial fertilizers act quickly and can
he used to special advantage where 1t
Is desired to mature crops In short
period of time.
The best results can be obtained by
the use or fertilizer on land that Is
well filed with organic matter. How
ever. fair results may be obtained by
tho use of fertilizer on land that has
NOT been manfred and which Is de-
Acient In organic matter, according TO
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The great danger in the use OF COM
mercial fertilizers is that too large
quantities may be applied and cause
injury to the plants. It must be borne
IN mind that commercial fertilizers are
very concentrated form Of plant food
and, therefore. should be used IN
moderation.
Amount Needed in Garden.
Market gardeners frequently use as
much as 1000 pounds of commercial
fertilizer on an acre Of ground. This
would be at the rate Of about or 3
pounds to plot Of ground 10 feet m
each direction or 100 square feet. As.
suming that the average backyard
garden Is about 30 by 60 feet In size
50 to 70 pounds Of standard, high grade
truckers fertilizer would be all that
would be safe to apply on q garden OF
those dimensions. Under most con.
ditions so pounds will be the maximum
amount to use.
Commercial fertilizers are usually put
up In sacks containing 100. 1877 or ~
pounds, and good plan would be for
two or more gardeners to join together
In buying fertilizer.
Methods Of Application.
There are two or three methods OF
applying commercial fertilizers The
0rst and most common Is by scattering
the fertilizer broadcast over the land
after II has been plowed and narrowed
then giving the soil second and even
Z third narrowing to mix the fertilizer
with II thoroughly. Another methoc
ID to apply the fertilizer underneath the
rows, the plan being to open the FUR
rows. scatter In the fertilizer, then
BY means Of single-shovel pillow OF
wheel hoe, thoroughly mix the fertilizer
with the soil In the bottom Of the fur
row. The surface soil Is then re
turned and no seeds are planted for
few days until the fertilizer becomes
thoroughly Incorporated with the
coil.
