Cotton Planting Time Our experiment stations and records from over 15,000 5-acre contest fields nail down some important facts about producing cotton under present conditions. A few of those things that ap ply a this season are: Narrow rows pay; stalks need to be close in the drill; plant only good seed, delinted and treated; don’t chop too early, and leave plenty. To be a little more to the point, rows around 36 inches have made the most, an average of about 2 stalks to the foot has been best, and recommended poisoning has paid.

Boys Are That Way It’s funny what ideas children fometimes get. For a long time I though my Aunt Missouri was named that because they w'ent to a different Lutheran Church, one that be longed to the Missouri Synod. * We boys w f ere sitting on a log there in front of the country store one summer day about half asleep Suddenly one of ’em said, “Well, I be-dog!" We said. "What?” He had been looking at an old Coca-Cola sign tacked there on '.he store and said he had always thought those words on it were "delicutions and refrigerating” instead of “delicious and refresh ing". Not hat he knew what they meant. But he had just always accepted them as meaning some thing extremely good. He did not know what "delieous and re freshing" meant and was much gratified upon clearing that mat ter up We really had a laugh about that. Hearing the old folks talk so much about the Confederate War. and specially grandpa, I knew all about it, from our standpoint. Grandpa was deaf, i very deaf, and no one could stop him when he started on the oft- told tase of whipping the very lard out of the Yankees on many a battle field. I gathered from it all that we really beat them into the dust, and I gloated with him over the great victory. Folks were really still living that war then and having the Yankees with- venomous unquenched zeal. Raised in that atmosphere, imagine my utter consternation and bewilderment when I got to that point in my history book that sort of reluctantly admitted that we sort of lost that war. I could not believe it at first. And it de pressed me a lot. I had to get as surance from parents before I would accept it. But my childish satisfaction was pacified a bit when grandpa told me, "Yes, but hey had four times as many men as we, and we got two or three of theirs for every one of ours.” That experience still stands as my greatest childhood delusion.
