I don’t! want to appear “an interfer- 10 ing mother-in-law,” but still 1 feel my son and daughter- in-law should be set straight on this. What do you think? GRAM. DEAR GRAM: .Just DEAR SALLY By SALLY SHAW reputation. He evan implies that I am promis cuous! This is not true. I’ve always maintained high prin ciples, and all my friends know it — it’s just that I haven’t yet met the °P en one-and-only man for me. your mouth about this to, your son and daughter-in- j law, and you WILL be “an interfering mother-in-law!” Granted, there are some 13- year-old girls who aren’t up to the responsibility of baby sitting, but there are many others who are perfectly re- j liable and efficient. Evidently your granddaughter’s par-j ents consider her capable, as !planted do the parents who hire her and you should really be proud of her!

My wife left me a month ago when she discovered that I had been running around with another woman. This affair amounted to nothing, I’m now com pletely through with it, in tensely sorry, and I want my wife back very, very much. But whenever I phone her, she hangs up on me, and she hasn’t answered any of the numerous letters I’ve written to her begging her f rfoor to her begging her for for giveness and telling her how mucli I love her and how ter ribly I miss her. Is there any thing else you can suggest that will help me to straight en nut this mess I created? FATHEAD. DEAR FATHEAD: Miout all I can suggest is that you keep on Irving. Candy, flow ers, notes, telegrams might help. Of cour.e, it might prove too late to woo back the woman you so foolishly mistreated — but then on the other hand many other such injured marriages have been salvaged just because one or the other principle kept plug ging. DEAR SALLY: I’m an un married girl of 26, considered quite attractive, have a fine secretarial position, and lots of good friends. My big prob- Clemson were conducted by planting two and skipping one. This type of research has been done in other states with the same results. Some few years back I had the op portunity to visit the Missis- sipppi Delta. There you see large acreage of cotton planted by skip row. How ever, you would see a great deal of four rows planted and four skipped or four planted and two skipped. The yields were higher by a good bit The quality was also in creased. The following was taken from information re ceived from L. H. Harvey, Extension Agronomist of Clemson University. Data obtained by Dr. T. C. Peels show that a plant-two, skip-one pattern increased yields 41 percent over solid planting during the four year period, 1963 through 1966, at Clemson. Average yields for this period were 3541 pounds of seed per acre for skip-row and 2518 pounds for the solid Ranting. At the Edisto Experiment Station results were similar but differences were not as great. For the three year per iod, 1963 through 1965, there was 23 percent more cotton produced with 2x1 planting pattern than with solid plant ing. Yields averaged 3193 pounds of seed cotton per acre for sl^ip-row as com pared to 2595 pounds for solid planting. If an average lint obtain nutrients and mois ture, more bolls set, usually a longer staple, less damage to plants by euipment, and less disease losses are factors contributing to greater yield and quality. Production costs are in creased, however, when cot ton is planted skip-row. More land is required and S. C.
