Staring tomorrow the State theater will show Fred Mac Murray and Charlie Ruggles in @ feature comedy, drama and thrills, called Exclusive" and gives prom ise of full afternoon or evenings enjoyment. The companion feature is titled Might of Mystery" and gives you many moments of sus- pense, thrills and mystery.
 Starting Sunday Pat O'Brien is featured in one of his biggest hits of the year San Quentin" The story is laid in and about the famous penitentiary that juts into San Francisco Bay, 1t is not, the pro- ducers give assurance, one Of those sorrowful movies about condemned men and last hours and that sort Of thing.
 There is no execution, there is nothing sobby about the picture. It is enlivened by many scenes taken "outside"-even by San Francisco night-club, where Miss Sheridan is a singer who falls in love with O'Brien, who is an ex-army officer just appointed to be captain of the Yard at San Quentin.
 It is simply a swiftly-moving melodrama dealing with the prison CTS, the lives they lead-some good, some evil, even behind walls-and the officers who guard them.

Question Box.

Question: What causes my hens to
lay so many thin shelled eggs and
how can l remedy this condition?
Answer: In all probability your
hens have passed the peak of produc-
ton and are now going out of lay
There is a tendency, during this de
cline in egg production for shells to
become thin and this will increase
more and more as the birds reach the
non-productive stage, and there is
nothing that can be done to remedy
the condition providing, of course,
that the birds have a balanced ration
before them at all times.
Question: How soon can I turn my
cattle into a new permanent pasture u?
Answer: This depends upon the
growth of the grasses and soil condi-
ton, but if the pasture was seeded to
a good mixture and the soil is not
too wet cattle may be turned in about
the first of May. Grasses grow only
when the leaves are exposed to the
sunlight and it is best to delay the
grazing a few weeks if the grass
blades are not sufficient to insure &C
tive growth. Under normal conditions,
however, it is safe to turn the cattle
in the pasture en- or about May 1.

has not vet been wiped out, he ex-
planned, and a material increase over
last years acreage could easily drive
prices below 10 cents a pound again.
Although cotton might not go as
low as cents this year, as it did in
1882, Criswell added, or lO-cent
cotton would be just as disastrous IN
1887 as 6-cent cotton was then.
Increased production costs mean
that growers would make less with 10
cent cotton this year than they did
with Scent cotton when production
costs were lower" he stated.
The growers best bet, Criswell said,
is to comply with the soil-conserva-
ton program and not plant more than
Is per cent of their base acreage. This
would help maintain market prices,
and the farmers would also receive
government payments for cooperating
with the program.
Criswell also warned growers not
to count definitely on a European war
tc boost American cotton prices. "War
is not yet a certainty, and if gene
raj war does break out, millions OF
bales of cheap cotton will be avail
able from China, India, Egypt and
South America"

Side-Dressing Makes Heavier
Crop Yields.

Side-dreSsingS to corn and cotton
are we'll worth their cost in years
when crop prices are anything like
normal, said c. B. Williams, of the N.
G. Agricultural Experiment Station.
This is particularly true when the
crops are grown on coastal plain and
piedmont soils of an open, sandy ma
ture, he added.
But on finer textured soils under
lain with heavy subsoils that tend to
retain fertilizing materials a side
dressing may not be needed if the
corn and cotton were fortified right
to start with, Williams continued.
OF if the crops have a dark green
color at the time for side-dressing
they probably don't need a side-dress-
ing.
Where side-dressings are needed
the growers should apply to soluble
form of nitrogen such as in nitrate
of soda or sulphate of ammonia, Will
liams continued.
The best time for side-dressing cot
ton is Immediately after chopping and
before the first cultivation.
Corn should tie side-dressed when
the plants are two to three feet high
and Just before a cultivation is given
the field, Williams pointed out.
"If the crops were fortified pro-
rerly when planted, and if given a
good side-dressing where needed. the
increased yields will give the grower
net return of SO to 200 percent or
more on the fertilizer investment" he
observed.
