(Production of cotton under boll wee
vil conditions is nothing more or leu
than a race between the setting ol
bolls on the plant and the multipli
cation of the weevils, scientists de
clare, and everything possible should
be done to aid the cotton plants In
winning this race.
On* of tbe first steps In furnishing
this aid is through preparation of tbe
?oil, A good seed bed la neceaaary
to obtain the best results and It
should be prepared early so as to have
? Arm, smooth and well settled bed
at planting. Experts say that the
Importance of a well prepared seed
bed can hardly be overestimated.
Also, unfavorable weather conditions
shortly before planting often prevents
plowing at that time and early prep
aration does away with this risk.
Planting should be delayeo until all
danger of frost is past and the earth
Is warm enough to cause quick
sprouting and a good stand. Early
planting Is recommended but it should
be borne In mind that It Is possible
to plant too early so that the plants
become stunted dnrlng the early days
of their growth.
Plant if possible only selected seed
of an early maturing variety, and ol
a staple not less than 7/8 Inch. In
formation as to a suitable variety for
your particular locality can be ob
talned from the county agent or the
state college of agriculture. It Is
definitely proven that increased yields
worth from $10 to $40 an acre may
be obtained by planting selected seed.
One bushel or more should b? plant
ed to the acre.
Cotton rows should be from three
to four feet apart, according to th?
fertility of the soli, and spacing IB
tho row should be from eight tc
twelve Inches with from one to three
stalks to the hill. Tests under va
rlous conditions have proved that
thick spaced cotton matures earliet
and yields more pounds to the acre
that: thin spaced.
Tbe intelligent use of commercial
fertiliiers is an important step In th?
profitable production of cotton. Prop
erly used it will both haBten maturity
and materially increase the yield.
Contents and their percentages de
pend on local conditions. The count;
agent or the agricultural college car
supply information on this point. Only
the well drained, fertile lands, and
when available, early soils snould be
used. It will pay to produce cottor
only on land that will produce, undei
average conditions, at least one thlr<!
of a bale to the acre.

of boll weevil control may be obtain

SOMETHING TO THIXK ABOUT
In summing up the future of the
electric railway business, Brltton I.
Budd, President of the American Elec
tric Railway Association says:
"We are on the threshold of an era
that will demand a very large In
crease in our urban and lnterurban
transportation facilities. To meet this
growing demand, a step.dy flow of
capital into our industry must be pro
vided. We cannot wait for others to
solve these problems for us. It Is up
to this industry to lead the way to a
solution.
"The electric railways last year em
ployed 302,000 persona, or 50 per cent
more than were employed by the elec
tric power and gas industries com
bined. The Investment in the proper
ties which we operate is approximate
ly six billions of dollars, a sum greater
than the Investment In gas, telephone
and telegraph companies combined
"Good public relations must be based
on good service. The best selling me
thods will not succeed unless the goods
are saleable. The railway executive
must give the best service that Is
possible, then tell the people what
he Is doing."
CARDS 05 THE TABLE FOLIC*
It looks as i( the Dawes committee
now working out a settlement plan on
the reparations question will en voire
a scheme that will be practical. After
five years of "diplomatic" controver
sies and do-nothing policies, a busi
ness-like plan will smoke a lot of
European politicians out of their hole*
and they will either have to favor the
plan or admit frankly that they wo^ld
rather continue the controversy than
settle the matter.
The Dawes committee Is I nthe pe
culiar position of being able to *ur
of Its work, "Take It or leave It, h?*
is a business-like solution." This p^ts
the chronic kicker where he canflot
sidestep. His bluff will be called atid
he will have to show his cards, ita
world Will then be able to draw |t?
own conclusions regarding the flMl
settelment of the reparations questlM.

MOW MUCH FOOD FOM 100 HEJiS
* ?
Raleigh. May 26. ? Frequently, the
poultry (rower goes Into hla business
with no conception ol tho amount ot
food that it takes tofeed his hens. He
| feeds what he has ou hand and when
llhat gives out he must buy. Experi
ments conducted by poultry lnvestl
I gators at the State College Experiment
Station show that one may know to
a reasonable degree the amount or
food needed.
In the experiments conducted, it
was found that whero all the feed was
bought, hens the size of Leghorns con
sumed 80 pounds of feed each, or 8,000
pounds for a flock ot one hundred birds
during the year. Thirty pounds of the
amount consumed by each hen was the
mash of dry, ground, mixed feeds and
fifty pounds was the scratch or grain
mixture.
Larger birds such as the Rhode Is
land Reds consume an average of 94
pounds of feed per hen per year. This
Is 9,400 for the flock of 100 birds. Ot
the 94 pounds consumed, 43 pounds
was mash and 51 pounds, grain mix
ture.
In making these tests Dr. B. F. Kaup
also studied the amount ot feed it re
quired to produce eggs. For lilgh pro
ducing Leghorns, It took 6.46 pounds
of feed to produce one dozen oggs and
for the larger breeds it took 10 pounds
of feed to produce a dozen eggs. The
heavier the layer, the more feed she
consumed. t
These tests also revealed the fact
on tour.horse farm, between 26 and
10 per cent ot the toed would be for
aged by the poultry, thus lessening
the amount needed to be bought or
raised tor the sole use ot the flock.
