N.

The largest yields at the stgteSjjpc periment station were from 8 (eh sluicing, one plant to the hill, and tain plants to the hills where the spaelpg is 12 inches. Experiments with spac ing the hills 15, 18. and 24 inches upurt has not given as high .vieKltix the closer spacings. plants to the Mil hut even then the yields are not so large as from the closet spacings. The closer spacings reduce the vege tative growth and cause the plants to fruit earlier, which is very impor tant under boll weevil conditions. The wider spacings require more labor in chopping nnd it is usually dif ficult to secure a uniform stand of 3 to 4 plants nt regular intervals. For practical purposes the follow l ing recommendations have been found I very satisfactory: Chop the cotton hoe | width leaving on an average of two I plants to the hill."" i * ] THE STOCK MARKET Bullish Enthsiasm Ran Rampnt Again in Today’s Market.

Wanted Hero to Return to This Country Before He Left for South Dakota to Spend Summer Months. Washington, .Tune I.— UP) —Captain Charles A. Lindbergh today accepted 1 the invitation of President Coolidge to return immediately to Washington aboard the cruiser Memphis. Lindbergh's acceptance was wired today to the white house, and it was announced there that the New York to Paris flyer woe expected to be home again by Saturday, June 11th. It is planned to have the Memphis come direet to Washington where the flyer will be received officially ih behalf of the nation. The message from Lindbergh was sent through Frederick Sterling, of the American embassy staff in Lon don. It said that the invitation of President Coolidge had been banded to Lindbergh and that he accepted "with pleasure.” New York’s Reception Plans Held Up. New York,' June I.— (A 3 ) —The invi tation of a cabinet committee to Cap tain Charles A. Lindbergh to proceed direct to Washington from Europe left New York's elaborate plans for his reception in an unsettled state to day. Mayor Walker termed the commit tee's action “in contradistinction to ev ery tradition,” but said that New Y’ork's 8,000.000 people nevertheless would ' “stand by, just ns proud of this American boy, and cheer with as wide acclaim as if he hud been al lowed to follow the traditional course, and enter through the gateway of America, the port of New Y'ork.” Plan Homecoming. Washington, June I.— (A 3 ) —A home coming tn keeping with the history making flight of Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, including a triumphal en trance into Washington up the Po tomac on tile cruiser Memphis, was shaping itself today but the details largely depend on the flyer’s wishes. ■He today accepted the invitation of a special committee of cabinet members to return to Washington on the cruis er Memphis. It is hoped this speedy ship might bring him to the capital before President Coolidge leaves on June 13th for his summer vacation. The desire to have the flyer come, direet to Washington was prompted by the thought of making his arrival a national celebration held in the cap ital of the nation, thus typifying a welcome by all of the people, and by the hope of having the celebration in clude the citation of the plucky youth by President Coolidge, with the dis tinguished flying cross. If Lindbergh arrived after June 13. the citation would be made at the summer white house in the Black Hills, but President Coolidge prefers to honor the flyer in Washington, and have him as his guest at the presiden tial residence on DuPont Circle. The President’s special committee composed of Secretary Davis, of the war department; Wilbur, Hoover and Postmaster General New, also dis cussed Mr. Coolidge's hope that honors for the flyer might include a promo tion in the army air corps reserve from captain to major. However, inas much as the higher rnnk'would take Lindbergh from his duties in the Mis suori National Gaurd, of which he is flight captain, the committee postponed the decision in this respect until it could be ascertained whether the flyer would object to the removal. Will Fly From Washington To New • York. New York, .Tune 1. — (A 3 ) —Captain Lindbergh will fly from Washington to Miller Field, Staten Island on June 14, and will remain iu the city until Jnne 17, when he will fly to St. Ijouis, Grover A.

June I.—Life in flood j refugee camps has taught 1/(0.000 men. j women and children in Ixmisiana the j value of discipline, patience and a j little hardship now and then. | In some Louisiana camps—they are scattered all through the Western part of the State—the people came with a rush and before any preparations were made to care for them. Towns of a bare thousand population suddenly had to feed and house 5,000' visitors, many with small children needing.pure milk, and nearly every family demand ing medical attention if sickness was to be kept away. A night spent in one of these camps at Delhi, in Morehouse parish, where 3.700 refugees were sleeping ill army tents, showed how this community met these problems. Y’isits to other camps brought out the many ideas the com munities developed when their problem came. In Delhi, the thousands of women and children are fed first and the men come later. First the white women and children, then the negro women and children, the men in order. They stnnd in line with tin plates and tin cups, and as they pass huge tanks of prepared fixal an attendant heaps the plate full. The meals during weekdays are plain, meat, potatoes or rice—they eat more rice down in this country than they do potatoes—and bread. On Sunday there was pudding and stewed corn. Delhi has a regular army kitchen, between the tents of the National Guard and the city of refugees}- The food is cooked under-the watchful eye of the militia. One of the features is a milk rooip, where the product of a duiry herd selected from refugee cat tle, is kept. Two attendants, white as the milk they handle, go through the process of washing and sterilizing bot tles and seeing that every drop of the milk is pure. This building is under lock and key, with a military guard at the door. The workers inside cannot get out and the guard sees that no one gets in. In this camp there is milk enough for children under three years. It is rationed to the families who present Citrtbi. ■ - - Over in Monroe, a city of 20,000 with an organization ready to meet an emergency, they had a camp in order two days before the Red Cross arrived, and had a thousand refugees registered and at home. Monroe lias natural gas, and the result is one of the finest group of kitchens that could be ; imagined. Being a refugee Tn Monroe is like going to Sunday dinner every day in ( the week. They Ox»k a lot of sheet , iron and welded it together some way j so as to make a long pancake griddle that bakes 440 cakes at a time. Pipes with natural gas run under it and they , turn on the gas and feed their 3,000 . refugees hot cakes and nmple syrup ( for breakfast. They have hot biscuits, too. Sun- ( day they have roast lamb, creamed potatoes, corn on the cob, cake, orange sauce, tea, coffee, milk and buttermilk. ‘ They feed the refugees there cafeteria style. A man who has made a fortune run ning what Monroe culls the best res- > taurant in the world moved out to the camp ami took charge of the kitchens. He has twelve expert cooks. And yet, his books show they have fed the 3,000 on an average of 2ft cents a day. The 1 Sunday dinner costs 13 cents a head. In all the camps except at I Jifayette 1 where they had to care for 12,500 refu- ; gees who arrived in three days—and j laifnyette has a population of about ' 2,000 —the homes are regulation army tents. Each family is given a tent. Whenever possible the families have been allowed to bring their bedroom furniture on at least one set, and there is a dresser nearly always. Refugees were not allowed to bring stoves into the area of the camp, but at each place they were allowed to place them just outside. A long line of wood stoves, where the women do their fnmily washing circles each camp. Few of the tents have floors yet most of them have rugs and strips of carpet and the earth floors are brushed until they are as dean almost as floors of wood. At Lafayette a contractor dropped his work and built 500 homes all about as big as a tent one for each family. The lumber was donated by a yard nearby. All the doctors and nurses- in the flooded district and many front other parishes and from other States are on dtuy. Hospitals lieve been set up everywhere and there are many refu gee babies.
