Mr. McNutt's lecture will he one of the big Chautauqua features. o COTTON' FACTS. Cotton acreage must bo reduced, and the reduction must be adequate. Anything less than 50 per cent compared with last year will nearly be ad equateThere is now enough cotton in the world unspun to last nearly two years. , The world will carry over this year more American cotton than was spun the past twelve months. The carry-over, including linters, may apprr ruinate 11,000,000 bale, or from five to six times a normal carry-over of American cotton. The United States cannot consume more than about 6,000,000 bales of cotton annually. Europe, which ordinarily takes the surplus of tin? American crop, or about 50 per cent of the crop, is very unpromising as a market, because of depreciated currency and lack of security to offer as a basis of credit. The buying power of thc. world is fat below normal, but the supply of cotton is now vastly in excess of every normal requirement. It will cost more to produce a new crop than i, can be sold for at present prices and there is no present ninstlPOf that nciros will nHunnoo Cotton can now be bought cheaper than it can be produced. It is better, therefore, to buy cotton or to hold \vhaL you now wn than to grow more. Every bale purchased tends t0 advance prices; every acre planted tends to make price sgo down. Unless cotton can be produced profitably it would be worse than folly to attempt to produce it at allIt is impossible to recover losses by incurring more losses?thut is the road to bankruptcy. Unless cotton can be sold it will not pay debts or taxes, neither can wc eat it. Cotton is no longer a cash commodity. A For the first time in your life, it is difficult if not impossible to sell cotton. The cotton farmer, at the best, receives returns for his labor but once a year. He turns his capital only once a year, whereas under a divervi sified system of farming, return*: are received many times a year. Any one crop system is uneconomic because under it no plan of farm management con be devised which will glve a maximum yearly use of tools, equipment and labor. The one crop farmer, particularly the cotton farmer, finds it difficult if not impossible to keep himself profitably employed the year round. If you grow cotton without growing food for man and feed for beast, we shall all be worse off than bankrupt, maybe starving this winter when the winds whistles through our V meatless smoke houses and cornless 9 corn cribs. \ Diversified farming will raise the standard of liv'ng in the South. Diversified farming will make healthier and happier women and children, more and better schools and churches, manlier and more contented men. In short, a more ambitious, better educated, thinking and more Intillifnnf olH7An?liln Farmers who have depended entirely upon cotton and cotton alone, are virtually bankrupt today, whereas farmers who have diversified more or less, have food for themselves and families and feed for their stock and money in bank. ^ _ THE DILLON jSiOE ArrliCATiOH !. J OF PEsTiLIZERS FERTILIZERS ARE CHEAP \ AGAIN. Practice of Side Application Will Ee Extensively Followed This Year. 1 | i I I Atlanta, Ga? April.?Reports receiv- ! f d from fertilizer companies indicate i that the Southern farmer fell a good ! doal short of using as much fertilizer* j ai pianung time this year as usual. Sev . eral reasons are assigned. One Is that ^ | the farmers waited for the price of j ! fertilizers to fall with tho expectation 11 of using them in creator quantities j | than tho usual amount as side applica- t i tions to the growing crops. j It seems that the practico of side ap- j 1 plication of fertilizers Is quite common- ( , ly followed by successful Southern , i i farmers. In fact, the Williamson neth-ji ' od of growing corn that is popular in j tho coastal plains region of tho South, f ' provides that no f"rtilizer bo applied ,i except as side applications to the corn 1 crop. j 1 On tho question of side application' 1 ' of fertilizers, J. N. Harper, director u* ' the Soil Imp: ovei,;'nt Committee and ' recn.qniz d authority on agricultural 1 methods of ti. P?> pit. says, that there ' are note than the ? unl adv.i\i;i_ s ' this y< r in favor of sid apr'h itioi.s. ' The it ' o I- ; l ill 1 v favo* ?1 to 1 . .. < giving 7ii id its'- to ferttt .: us.

For corn, he states that sido applications are quite generally made too late to got the best results. Ou clay loam j or heavy soils he advise? n side application and nitrogen dressing when the < corn is front kneo to waist high. For 6andy or light soils, ho says that side applications can be made later, that Is, when the corn Is waist to shoulder ; high, but before it begins to bunch to tassel. Mr. Harper says that care must bo ' taken to use only reaolly available j forms of fertilizer so that the growing I plants can utilize them In promoting 1 i rapid growth and development of fruit. ' The fertilizer should contain phosphoric acid in the form of acid phosphate. This is the main element for hastening maturity. The fertilizer I should also contuiu nitrogen and potash 1 In the readily available form. Nitrogen promotes the growth of the stalk and leaves and potash strengthens the plant , and helps fill out tho fruit. ' A top dressing of sulfate of ammonia ' or nitrate of soda is quite commonly made, and, according to Mr. Harper, it should follow closely after the second application of fertilizer, and within the j periods of cotton and corn growth which ho mentions above. : AVOID MISTAKES IN POISONING EOLL WEEVIL I j Weevils Can Be Poisoned With Profit. The United States Department of Agriculture, through its hull weevil experts. Profs. It. It. Coad and T. P. Cassidy, have Issued a statement, a part of which is entitled "Where It 1 Will Pay You to Poison." This part Is as follows: It will pay to poison? If the weevils are really injuring ] your crop seriously, and If your land is sufficiently fertile I to yield at least one-half hale per acre with weevil injury eliminated, and i If your farming organization is such 1 that you feel assured that the poison applications will be made at the right ' time and in the right manner, and If you are willing to spend the full i , amount necessary to provide an adequate supply of dusting machinery and 1 poison. ' The general gains from weevil poi' soning under average, fairly favorablo i conditions seem to be from 200 to 400 i { pounds of seed cotton per aero, but, owing to variations in degree of wee- j i ril injury it in not safe to expect much | more than the lower figure. Consequently, you should not poison if the coat of the calcium arsenate, the cost of labor to apply it, and the depreciation on the dusting machines will total more per acre | than the current value of 100 pounds i of seed cotton. Hand guns should be figured as do- ' predating 100 per cent in a season and the larger machines about 25 per cont. I Do It Rlflht Or Not At All Many valuablo lessons have been gained from the recent expension of commercial weevil poisoning. It has again heen shown that the bell weevil can be poisoned with profit if conditions are favorable t.nd If proper methods are used, but it has been emphasized anew that unfavorable conditions and improper methods can lead only to failure. A survey of the poisoning by farmers in 1920 shows that I an unfortunately largo proportion were not properly informed as to the condlI tior3 und'.r which they should poison and iho methods they should pursue. ' s a result thore wore many unnecea^..ry failures. ' HERALD, DILLON, SOI TH CAKOl COTTON* AND TAR IF I*' RILL. Arizona nti(l California Farmers only I'rototleJ. Washington. April 21?Congressman W.
