Swearingen Win. tat Prime, dtate Contest ■—.— m A CAR can go just about so far on a tankful of gas—and, if it goes any fur ther, itcan only do so by coasting down hill Same way with a cotton plant. It starts out with a full “tank” of growing power. That’s the fertiliser you put undar it. Rut along about chopping time, you need to “Si her up” again by side-dress ing 150 to 200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre. Then your cotton plants don’t have to “coast”. Instead they pick right up and carry along to maturity under full growing power supplied by that side dressing of Nitrate of Soda. Thousands of cotton growers have tried it and proved it for you. They own good places, wear good clothes Bind drive good automobiles today because they can turn out bale-to-the-acre cotton. And that pays them no matter what price cotton goes to. . They know side-dressing pays with com, too. f 4 How about you? Are you willing to profit from the experience of others—or to try it for yourself?

Long ago, I thought the war was over, but I must have been mistaken; surely that is my generad calling to me and waving hia award, lest I come too late to join them. Somehow, I dreamed that they were all dead, that I was the last cf the glorious number left on earth.

Company after com pany, battalion eft$r battalion, regi ment after regiment, and yonder rise the white walls of the city they mean to take. “But from the battlements of that city no menacing guns are pointing; no sentinels pace the ramparts; there seems to be no apprehension of dan ger, no preparation for attack. Look! the army is entering the wide portals; net a shot, not a struggle, no dead er dying men. “Ah!

He was the last Veteran; of all those who had fought for home and henor, he alone was left alive. And now death came to lay its hand upon him. One soldier’s grave was still unfilled, and the sleepless Sexton waited, leaning on his spade. A little patch of sunlight fell upon the coverlet, and the dying man placed his cmly hand there that the. tender warmth might kiss it with its lips of gold. And the words he spoke were as the woods cf one who dreams at distant things; for they had a mystic meaning, and Death tarried that It too might hear. , ’ ' ; .

In former years fertiliser was ap plied to cotton almost exclusively be fore or at planting time Taste con ducted by a number of Experiment Stations, however, show that two of our major crops, cotton aftd corn, thrive batter It a major portion of one element—nitrogen—4a reserved for a tide or top dressing. * According to the “Auburn Method." developed by the Experiment Station at Auburn, Alabama, all acid phoo- pbate and potash used on cotton should bo applied at planting time, but only one-fourth ot the nitrate need should go under the crop. The re maining three-fourths should bo ap plied at chopping time. Thp experi ence of many farmers Indicates that the yield of seed cotton can be In creased 400 or 600 pounds per'acre by the use of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre in the above way. At chopping time cotton plants have de veloped a root system able to take up readily available nitrogen within a few days. Delay In application of tho tide dressing means diminished yield. sms SEEDS WE HAVE IN STOCK s supply of fresh Garden Seeds of all kinds and a limited quantity of Excel, Improved Tom Watson, Irish Gray and Thur man Gray Watermelon Seeds, Kirby Stay-Green and Henderson’s Improved Whtie Spine Cucumber Seeds.
