With the developments in- sciew- tifir knowledge, have co:he better understanding; we know today that, there is very little in the old theory. 1 We know that tuberculosis is ac quired in every case that appears after infancy. I saw once an in fant born with tubercular meringi- Uk, the mother horse if bein? far advanced with tuberculosis of the lungs. This 'I did not regard as an hereditary cose, as applied to children in general. Tendencies are inherited, not dis eases, We ,ee a parallel in plan! -life. —Some- trees are haniier than others; some—varieties hf“vrbod~ withstand the onslaughts of decay much longer than oth*-s. Some flowering plants live, exposed to wintry blasts; others must be housed. -There- is quite as much variation in the resisting power of human beings to disease. Certain families of the human apecies have delicate nervous syst ems; others are peculiarly susepti- ble to skin irritations; and .still others exceedingly sensitive to drug influences. These have in herited tendencies. The son of a father who had smokers’ cancer should never smoke. The child of a mother who died of tuberculosis should use every precaution to keep away from the neighboring, victim. Chidren of parents who suffered from any pha-e of insanity may have the strongest of tendencies to break-down of the nerves. Such children, as soon as they arrive at suitable age. should -be enjoined by teachers and physicians, to avoid living as the afflicted ancestor lived. Tissue paper will 'jfst as long as sole leather if it i> taken care of, but under no other condition. Watch .the inherited tendencies, ami avoid exciting causes of trouble.

Eighteen men from all sections of the County com peted r and their composite results are of general interest because of the vari ety of conditions under , which they were obtained. It was found, according to the County Agent, that it paid to use at least 400 to 600 pounds of a high- grade fertilizer < dnd that sdeh a fer tilizer, with at least two per cent of the Nitrogen “from a Quick acting source like Nitrate of Soda, gave the best results.” Where 200 pounds of Soda together with 400 pounds of fertilizer were put under the cotton, “we got an increase of 163 pounds of lint per acre. “In one case,” says the County Agent, “where we used 60 pounds of Nitrate, of Soda around cotton after it was chopped, we got an increase of 68 pounds of lint cotton per acre at a net earning of $12.76 per acre. These tests proved that we need to get mo^e • of our nitrogen from a quick acting source.” These results showed that quick acting Nitrogen set squares earlier and faster and “bad a crop set before the dry weather hurt it very much. This is true under dry weathet conditions and abo under boll weevil conditions.” The weevil question should receive especial attention this year, in view of the fact that infestation'is expected to be unusually severs. Successful plant- .ers in all parts of the South meet this difficulty each year by putting 100 to tOO pounds of Soda and 200 to 300 pounds of Add under their cotton, and then by applying at first chopping a tide dremiag of 100 pounds of Sod* (9) W.
