DEAR SALLY: I’m a fat

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

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

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

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
