Against Disease

MANILA, ?. l., July Is (By MaiD.-
More than $500 lepers out of the 5000
IN the colony on Culion Island are now
receiving treatment, 5000 of this num-
Der taking the ethyl-ester treatment,
und about 800 the Mercado treatment,
sccording to Professor Shirley E. Rob-
erts, vice-president of the Philippine
Anti-Leprosy Society, who has just re-
turned to Manila from Culion, where
he spent month working among the
patients
According to Professor Roberts the
treatment has been extended until all
but approximately 1000 lepers in the
colony are being cared for medically.
About 700 of these are beyond medical
aid, and some 800 live at a distance
from the main colony, making treat
ment impracticable.
This is a record that | think no
other country can equal" said Profess
sof Roberts. When Governor General
wood became chief executive of the
fhlllppines seven months ago only 300
iepers were receiving treatment. The
new Culion is place TRANSFORMER; a
new spirit is abroad among the per-
sonnel and patients. In time we may
eliminate leprosy from the Philippines
altogether. This will be aided if suf-
le'ers learn to present themselves to
Ine nS authorities in the incipient stage.
while was in Culion ffty-eight lepers
Se were brought there from the island of
Seou' and Of these at least forty had
Deen afflicted for several years and
aad been in hiding during the entire
.inie. Such practices will have no ex-
sase now that Culion is receiving the
s'sention necessary to make it not only
.oiefaple to the patients, but a refuge
and asylum for them"

To ALL CONFEDERATE yETE-
RAMS AND SONS OF CON
FEDERATE VETERANS

In June. 1862, the anxious eyes
Of an anguished South were fixed
on its capital, Richmond. McClel-
Ian with 100000 men had COM
passed her about; Lee With q
scant 10000 guarded her gates
With one voice the Confederacy
resolved that Richmond should
be saved. So, from every South
ern state came reenforcementS
and to their sons already in the
field solem exhortation to die be,
fore they yielded the citadel OF
the South TO the Federals. That
gallant army, hastily gathered
held Richmond against the full
strength of the North, and in the
great campaign of the Seven Days,
thrust Mcclellan back to his gun
boats. Richmond pledged herself
then not to forget.
Now, sixty years later, in June,
1922, the friendly eyes of a pros
porous South once more will be
fixed on Richmond, still the capi-
tai of Southern memories. She
! will not be beleaguered this June,
but she will call for the remnants
of the army that defended her
for their comrades of the west, for
their wives, their widows, their
daughters and their sons.
Richmond will call them all
not that she may be saved but that
she may be privileged to serve.
In the exercises of four days--irl-
Guiding the laying of a corner
stone for the monument to Mat
thew Fontaine Maury and great
review before Lee and Davis,
Jackson and Stuart in bronze-
Richmond will seek to show that
she still remembers.
You are most cordially invited
to join the army whose coming
will relieve" Richmond. The
detailed plans set forth in the en-
closed circula~ of information are,
in the essentials, as follows: The
conventions of the S. C. Y. and
the Confederated Southern Mem

| have had an unusal number
cf requests regarding the use OF
Nitrate of Soda under cotton, and
how to mix with Acid Phosphate
iri order to make good grade
mixture. Without a doubt, Nitrate
is the cheapest form of nitrogen
that can be bought. 1t is much
cheaper than cotton seed meal be-
sides being available quicker.
On good strong land / would
make a mixture of four parts
Phosphate and one part nitrate
and use around three hundred
pounds of this per acre for cot
ton. would apply anyway so that
the cotton. seed would be nearly
in direct contact with the ferti-
lizer so that when the young
plant starts it will have food
available to push it to a quick
growth. On thin lands | would
use three parts Phosphate and
two parts Nitrate and use three
hundred pounds or more per acre
for cotton. | would not put this
fertilizer down in what is gener-
ally termed a water furrow, be-
cause the young plant could not
get any benefit from it until it
had sufficient growth for the
roots to reach it. The idea and
purpose in using this strong,
quick action nitrate is to make
the plant get a good growth early
SO as to obtain a quick maturing
crop. | believe it good idea to
leave two stalks to the hill and
thin to a hoe width. In this way
you will get few bolls on each
stalk and the boil weevi4 will get
the rest, but in this way you will
get nearer to the equivalent of one
well fruited stalk. This has been
the policy of the most successful
cotton growers since the boil
Weevil period.
In using Nitrate for corn, |
prefer side dressing, as you can
choose the time Of applying to
best suit weather conditions. /
mean by this that during dry
period, you can assist the crop
with nitrate because of the mois-
ture in this product. Nitrogen in
Nitrate carries enough moisture
with it to make it immediately
soluable, and this is one reason
