IS CONDUCTING TOBACCO TEST John E. Griffin Holds Test; CountjrAgent and Ex pert Assisting Mr. John E. Griffin, of Griffin's township, with the assistance of Mr. J. B. Floyd, of the Tobacco Experi ment Station, and Cdunty Agent T. B. Brandon, is conducting a tobacco test this year. Mr. Griffin made such a test last year, and while the re sults were considered good, it was de cided to make a second test this year. The dry season had something to do with the results last year, Mr. Floyd stated, and with a second demonstration, the conclusions reach-, ed last year will, in all probability, be strengthened. This year seven plats have been prepared and the transplanting will take place the early part of next week. In the first plat, the experi menters are using an 8-3-5 fertilizer with fifty per cent, mineral nitrate derived from nitrate of sulphate and. sulphur ammonia, per cent, or ganic, cotton seed meal and fish pot ash;,two per cent muriate of potash and three per cent, sulphate potash magensium In a second plat, a 10-4-6 fertilizer, made up of same propor tions of materials used in the fiist plat will be tried. The third plat has an 8-4-6 fertilizer with same propor tion of materials as in the other two. Number fourt plat with 8-4-6 fertilizer, has one-third mineral ni trate of the same matter as that used in the other two plats and two thirds organic of the same material. The fifth plat has two-thirds mineral made up of same matter, and one third organic. Plats six aud seven will be used in testing those brands of fertilizers that the experimenters are already acquainted with, Mr, Floyd stated Wednesday that r the experiments would be of particu lar interest in that by tsing sulphate potash magnesium, that if used in a fertilizer mixture of six per cent, potash, one would get enough .mag nesium there to take care of a crop on average soils. In the test, Messrs Gfiflln, Itrandon and Floyd are also trying different proportions of ammonia in an effort to tell definitely whether to use one third inorganica fifty pa* cent, or two thirds most profitably in growing to bacco of superior quality. Mr. Griffin or Mr, Brandon either will be glad to give the exact results of the test, and all farmers interest ed in the test this year are at liberty to keep in touch with the facts as they develop.

AGED MAN DIES AFTER BEING HIT BY AUTO No Blame For Driver of Car, Miss Louvenia Hopkins CAR RUNNING SLOWLY Accident Occurred Last Night Near • Lilly's Hall; Victim Died This Morning; Wa« 70 Yeari Old Hit by an automobile driven by Miss Louvenia Hopkins last night while returning home from a com mence exercise at Lilly's Hall, near here, Jim Brown, aged 70, died at the home of Mr. Albert Gut kin this morning shortly after 7 o'clock. The old gentleman, who worked with Mr. Claude Mendenhall in Grif fins township, had gone only a short j distance from the school when he! walked in front of the Hop kins car and was hit. Both of his legs and collar bone were broken, and while it is not certain, it is thought that he suffered internal injuries. He was removed to the home of Mr Gurkin where a doctor-*,was called. So badly was he hurt that he never regained consciousness, and his con dition was such that it was con sidered useless to remove him to a hospital. Describing the accident, Miss Hop kins stated that she was driving a Chevrolet ear with her mother and several friends, that they had gone only a sh9rt distance when they saw Mr. Brown walking in the righthand wheel track. She sounded the horn and turned to the left to miss him, and instead of his turning to the right •is she expected he would- do, he moved to the left suddenly and walk ed into the front wheel of the machine. Driving very slowly at the time, Miss Hopkins stopped the car before the rear wheel touched him. Miss Hop kins stated she backed the car off him but it is thought his death resulted from t|jp injuries when he was first hit.
