It is also reported that some of the oil mills will deliver the meal and haul the seed away from the farmer's place for only 50 pounds of meal per ton traded. One hundred pounds of cotton seed contain 3.7 pounds of ammonia, Impounds of phosphoric acid and 1:5 pounds, of potash; a ton of cot .on seed would contain 74 pounds of ammonia, 30 pounds of phosphoric- acid and 30 pounds of potash. 100 pounds of cotton seed meal contain 7 pounds of ammonia, 2.5 pounds of phosphoric acid and" 1.5 pounds of potash; 1,400 pounds of cotton seed meal would contain 98 pounds of ammonia. 35 pounds of phosphoric acid and 21 pounds of potash. In other words it a farmer traded a ton of seed for 1,400 pounds of cotton seed meal he would gain 24 pounds of ammonia, 5 pounds of phosphoric acid and lose 9 pounds of potash. Tf he exchanged at the rate of 1 ton of seed for 1,600 pounds of meal he would gain 38 poupds of ammonia, 10 pounds of phosphoric flicid and lose 6 pounds of potash. If a farmer should use cotton seed as fertilizer he should be very particular to kill the seed, before putting them in the ground. This may be done by mixing them with manure and allowing to stand for A day or two. However, this operation is likely to cause considerable loss of volatile ammonia unless the farmer is very careful, to keep down heating. Also it ebould be remembered that decomposed or rotting seed put in the ground for the purpose of fertilizer may cause the planting seed to decay unless a sufficient amount of dirt is kept between the fertilizing seed and planting seed. Also it would be ajgood idea jn^ the case of using seed to stir the seed in the soi before planting. The amount of oil contained in the seed is of no value to plants and therefore is lost when seed are put in the ground for fertilizer. , Two pounds of cotton seed hav about the same amount of food as 1 pound of meal.

' - rr H ?- SB! ? 9 ? a K - ~ 2*4-, tm* ftti PA LOS, SPAIN From Whence Columbus Sailed Near , Four and a Half Centuries Ago Nearly four and a half centuries! ago three small caravels, commanded by Christopher Columous, spread their sails and glided slowly down the Kio Tinto, off Palos, Spain, to the broad bosom of the unknown Atlantic. Seven months later two of the caravels returned to Palos with ' news of a great discovery that even- 1 tually carried the. name of this tiny 1 fishing port in southwestern Spain 1 to every part pt the civilized world. Next February a duplicate of the ! "Santa Maria," the flagship of Co- ' lumbus which did not return, will sail ' for America from Palos under .the 1 command of a crew of adventurous < Spanish youths, who plan to bring ' their fragile 229-ton ship across the ' Atlantic and then t^fo>gh the Great 11 Lakes to Chicago for the 1933 expo- 1 sition. "Palos, the point of embarkation of Columbia and those who follow in his footsteps, is an insignificant little village today, with hardly anything* to remind it of its illustrious past," says a bulletin from the Washington, 1). C., headquarters of tho National Geographic Society/ & "If the modern 'Santa Maria' wishes literally td re-enact the famous sailing of August 3, 1492, it will have to wait until the tide is at its height, because the old roadstead has long since silted up, and shipping which once plied between Palos and other porta of Europe now anchors off IJuelvu, on the near-by Odiel River. "When the wealth of the New World was realised, Seville was given the monopoly of trade with America, snd then San Lucar, its nearest port to the sea, came into its own. Columbus put off from San Lucar on his third voyage, and Magellan's ^lobe-girdling ships sailed from the lame port. Palos, meanwhile, was neglected. v "Palos de Moguer, or Palos de la Prontera, to call it "by itu two imposing Spanish names, had another big moment when Cortez chose it as a landing place in 1528 after his conquest of, Mexico. Wagons loaded with loot qf the empire of the Aztecs rumbled through its narrow streets, and dashing caballeros- on beplumed horses awed the loiterers of the waterfronts. But again other Spanish ports superceded it, and Palos continued a humdrum role as a fishing village, "In 11)29 Palos came momentarily into the day's news when u colossal stone statue of Columbus, designed by an American, was dedicated on the exact spot where Columbus is said to havo set sail for America. A detachment of American sailors took part in the exercises and the rumble of drums awoke the echoes of the L sleepy little fishing village which for 400 years had known few visitors, "Another reminder of Columbus in this region is the La Rabida Monastery, opposite the junction point of the Odlel and Tinto fivers, about a I mile and a quarter from Palos. I* Kabida, now purtly in ruins, played an important role in the discovery of America, ,for it was here that the adventurer Columbus found a sympathetic listener in Fray Juan Perez de Marchena, the prior of the monastery and once confessor of Queen Isabelln. The prior induced tho Queen to finance the voyage. | "A stone from La Kabida MonasI tery will be carried in tho hold of the I new 'Santa Maria' for the lighthouse memorial being erected to Columbus in Santo Domingo. It was off the coast of the Island of %into Domingo, 9$ Haiti, that the^original 'Santa M?ria' was wrecked. Modern Huelva, jusft around the corner from Palos, is a thriving city of 30,000 inhabitants with an activ# trade in copper and sulphur ores, and in tuna and sardine fishing. At flood-tide tho biggest ocean vessels may ascend the Odiel River to its wharves." ' Curfew So many robberies have been committed in Florence that the chief of police has issued an order to his men to arrest all persons found on the streets after midnight, unless they can give a good uccount of themselves. That would be a very good order to be enforced in every town. Few people have good reason to be away fi'6m their home after midnight. ?Edgefield Advertiser.
