| DRESSING
I COTTON
A High School boy, Elstner Rcall, of
Wilson, Arkansas, has won the State
- Cotton Growing Championship for tho
past two years. In 1921 with 200 pounds
{ of Nitrate of Soda per acre at planting
I and 100 pounds when the cotton was
knee high, he averaged 752 pounds of lint
cotton per acre. Last year with 300
pounds of Soda at planting and u side
dressing of 100 pounds, he averaged 1,003
pounds of lint cotton p<* acre.
Side, dressings of 100 pounds of Soda
per acre played an important part in his
F prise winning achievements. v.
Will Terry, of Jackson, won the Hill
section of the Mississippi Cotton Production
Contest. In addition to his other fertilisers,
he used 200 pounds of Nitrute of
Soda as a top dressing.
The results of Experiment Station
testa and the experience of successful
planters alike have proven that it pays
handsomely under average conditions to
i apply 200 pounds of Soda per acre under
cotton and another 100 pounds as a side
dressing before the first squares appear.
The reason for this is that the squares are
set early and fast before either dry
weather or the weevil can hurt the crop
very much, and a large yield of lint is
produced.
The side dressing is even more important,
however, in a late season such as
we have had this year. It. is imperative
if the crop is to bo fully prof table, that
there ho plenty of available nitrogen in
the soil when the crop really begins to
grow, particularly if not enough Soda was
put under the cotton at planting time.
That tho nitrogen in Nitrate of Soda
is much more quickly available and therefore
much more ethc.ent than when aj>plieci
in any of the other materials that j
are being otTered is fully proven by more |
t han 20 years of cont inuous investigations j
jr; at the New Jersey Experiment Station. I
and also by tests made in European conn- j
tries which agree with and confirm those j
iof New Jersey. This fact is of especial interest
in a season like the present one
when it is of such great importance that
the cotton crop should bo pushed ahead
rapidly in crcjer to make up for its deL
Hyod start. *>
It should be remembered timt profits
from the crop are much more dependent
upon high acre yields when cotton prices
ar>e relatively low than when they are
high. Thus, a side dressing of quickly
xvMliable nitrogen at just the time when
Um young cotton plants need it most
should bo a splendid investment thia-year.

Purple Royal Emblem
From Earliest Days
Purple became associated with kings
in tbe early days becapae it wus lite
finest and most cosily dye of tbe an
cients. i.t was obtained from two kinds
of shells found In the Mediterranean
sea. Tbe ancients attribute its discovery
to the Phoenicians und the
story la that it was first discovered by
a dog bltlyg a purple fish. It la stated
that In ('aesar'a time a pound of Tyrian
purple wool cost above 1,000 denarii,
vvhieh la. roughly speaking, equal to
$217.50. ; Purple robes were used ?t
an, early date by the Greeks as a mark
of dignity. Tyrian purple was tntro'
duced Into Rome In the middle of the
First century, II. 0.. and from that time
It became a luxury. Its use was
checked by imperial decree. A complete
robe of "blattu." tbe finest kind
of purple, was reserved as an Imperial
privilege, and any private jterson wearing
It was punished ns being guilty of
high treason.
Nap. Invented Billiards
The guides that show tourists around
Paris, nays a Paris.dispatch, display remarkable
ingenuity In replying to
every question, and can always be relied
on tf> supply Interesting details
regarding groat men of the past which
hnve been overlooked In history.
An American traveler who was being
shown over Malmn'lson. one of
poleon's residences on the outskirts of
Paris, bad 111s curiosity aroused by
certain white ornaments appearing at
the e'ul of the arms.of tlie throne in a
I painting In which the first emperor is
shown standing by his imperial seal.
I He asked the guide what these knobs
were.
' Napoleon," his cicerone explained,
with pompous alacrity, "was not merely
a great soldier and statesman, but
also a great Inventor. Those round
white halls commemorate the fact that
Napoleon Invented billiards."
Symbol of Liberty y
The Phrygian cap, or liberty cap,
was a peaked headdress worn by the
ancient Phrygians, and when placed
j upon the heads of slaves became a
token of their freedom, thus becoming
a symbol of liberty. During the
French revolution it was made the
mark of a "patriot," and Louis XVI
was compelled to wear It In order to
show his agreement with the people's
desires. The cap appears on the head
of the goddess of liberty on some of
the coins of the United States, and has
also been adopted by some foreign
countries and Included In their coats
of arms.
Musical Trees
In Barbados there is a whistling
irejp. It has a p^uliur shaped leaf,
and all its pods have n split edge. The
wind passing through tbe pods causes
them to emit the sounds that have
gtven tbe tree its name. There is s
long valley packed with these trees,
and when tbe trade winds blow across
the island a continuous deep-toned
whistle comes from the valley, the
effect being extremely weird. In the
Sudan there is a spe-ies of aencla also
known as tbe whistling tree.?Grit.

Revamping Plan Expected to Save
About $4,000,000
Washington, May 26.?You'll hardly
know whether it is money or a
merchandise coupon after the treasury'?
committee on redesign of the
currency gets through.
Their plans for revamped paper
money are expected to save abyut
$4,000,000 a year and to provide muVtf
handier currency. Their problem is
to take care of the paper money and
let the coins take care of themselves.
The proposals, in brief, are to reduce
the size of bil\s by about onethird,
to eliminate the yellowbacks
and make other color changes, to
simplify and standardize design and |
to stop printing some of the littleused
'denominations. These proposals
arc not yet official. They are revealed
now directly from the committee,
however, und are believed to
be virtually assured of adoption.
Secretary, of the Treasury Mellon
has authority to make such changes
in the currency without consulting
congress. The committee oh redesign
has been making exhaustive studies
for nearly a year and is expected to
report within a few months. After
the secretary orders the changes,
nearly a year will be required for
engraving the plates and for> printing
and distribution.
"The department is convinced that j
our present paper money system can j
be made more economical and effi-i
cient and committed to improving it," j
says Assistant' Secretary Charles S.
Dewey. He is the official directly in
charge of the expert committee on redesign
The change in size is expected to
be most radical. Ever since the first
greenbacks were turned out during i
the C iWl War paper money has been
approximaetly 7.2k inches long and
3.01 inches wide. The new bills, it
is planned, will be 6 inches long and
2 '-2 inches wide.
These dimensions are copied from
Philippine money. When the islands
came under American control a con
signment of paper money, in pesos,
wa? ordered from the bureau of engraving
and printing. Elihu Root,
then secretary of war, insisted that
it have a distinctive form.
Ouf money is printed eight bills at
a single impression on large sheets.
The Philippine currency was printed
12 bills to the sheet. It is proposed
now to adopt this size of bill.,
When it is considered that the government
user about 1,200 tons of
paper a year for printing money, it
is apparent that such a cut in size
will affect a tremendous saving.
* Furthermore, the smaller sized bills
will not be folded so much and will
give longer service. Tests already
made by Federal Reserve Bank tellers
the smaller bills can be handled
There aye in circulation now 11
different denominations of bills: the
$1, $2, $5, >10, $20, $50, $100, $500,
$1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Four of
these probably will be withdrawn.
They are the unpopular and hoodoo
$2 bill and the $500, $5000 and $10,000.
There is little demand for these.
For the 11 denominations now in
use there are .'h) different designs.
There are five different kinds of $10
bills, for instance. The committee is
expected to recommend one distinctive
pattern, and no more, for each
denomination.
This simplification will limit the
use of any portrait to only one denomination.
At present the face of
Washington is on both the $1 bill and
the yellowback $20.
The portrait, being a steel engraving,
is the-surest protection against
duplication" and the features most
easily detected in a counterfeit. To
use the same portrait on two bills
is considered an -.opportunity for
raising the lower one.
Colors x?re to be changed also.
Yellow ink can be bleached off with
comparative ease and it is proposed
also to print the backs of bills in
two colors instead of one as at present.
*
By selecting a combination such
as dull green and dull brown, it will
be made exceedingly difficult for a
iimr-1n i iBtseasssst
counterfeiter with an engraving
camera to pick out the two different
colore for making separate plates.
The money problem is big business '
with the government. A count re- cently
disclosed that it had outstand^
ing 421,000,000 bills of the $1 denomination
alone. Printing just the
$1 bills costs about $5,000,000 u
l year. A ton and a half of them utturned
in for redemption every duy.
HOUND DOGS PROFITABLE
Once Mark of Triffler, Now Means
Towurd Prosperity
Evening Shpde, Ark.?Time was
when the presence of a flock of hound
dogs around the cabin of an Arkansas
countryman was regarded as a
sure sign of shiftlessness, and that
the farmer was "trifflinV
Today, however, this has changed.
For the hound dog made famous in
song and story has become the means
of a surer prosperity for its raiser
than corn or cotton. The hogs may
run wild without care, but the dog
gets the best.
If ybu travel through the Ozark
hills and hear the booming voices of
i a group of hounds you may conclude
that some do& owner is plying 'his
trade of training hounds for the market.
A good hound today is worth up
to $50 in the Eastern market. And a
good pair pf hounds will pay their
i keep within a few days through the
fur they will capture.
The market for hounds is active
locally. This advertisement appeared
recently:
"Now is your chance to get a
hound pup from the famous 'old bell'
dog of mine. Old Bell took eleven
coons, seven possums and a mink in
1 three nights last fall. Can trail and
j tree any varmint that ever ran on
four legs."
A seaplttnefStoill be used by large
whaling companies for the first time
in history whdn the season opefis
next winter in northern waters. The /?/ :.
seaplane' will go ahead of the fleet
! and signal when it spots a "blow."
