self as being anxious to have the
minister pronounce the words be-
fore he went under ether.

mony was performed. 1t is expected
that Mr.. AIumfOrd will be DISCHARGED

by rows.
\ Very few of the farms in that vicin-
ity are making a bale to the acre, he
explained, and he is not making
bale to the acre on other land that
has not been fertilized. This other
land was rented by Mr.. Owens.
A good stand of cotton, careful selec-

by Mr.. Owens as reasons for his re-
markable success this year. He also
gives the fertilizer credit for increas-
ing the yield.
The Mercedes farmer sold as bales
of his cotton last week, securing the
market price for the cotton. He ex-
planned that he paid $3.50 an acre for
the land when he bought it. several
years ago, and that the crop this year
will bring enough to equal the cost

Mercedes Farmer Gets 50
Bales From 38-ACYe Field

Fifty-six bales already ginned off
3S acres, and three more bales to go.
This is the. remarkable record made
by J. B. Owns, farmer of the Mer-
cedes district, who was in Browns
vile yesterday afternoon on business.
Mr.. Owens farm is six miles east Of
Mercedes.
This remarkable showing eclipses the
record made by Mr.. Owens last year,
when he ginned more than bale to
the acre off the same piece of ground.
The land has been cultivated for sew
eral years, and is improving in its
yield every year.
Credit is. due partly to fertilizing
the field. Mr.. Owens said. Acid phos
phate was put on the land, at a cost
of about $3.50 an acre, and Mr.. Owens
believes this increased the yield abou,
240 pounds to the acre, according to
some tests which were made. On one
row the application of acid phosphate
was doubled, and the yield was 500
