RESULTS OF C. O T T O N
FERTILIZER DEMONSTRA
TION AT THE SPRINGS
- I
“Proper fertilization has always
been an important factor in farming
operations,” stated E. K. Veach, vo
cational agricultural teacher of Au
ulian Springs High School.
“As a means of aiding us in a
study of various fertilizer methods
for cotton, the Chilean Nitrate Edu
cational Bureau furnished the materi
als for a demonstration ‘his past sea
son. Joseph Liles, son of J. It. Liles.
Littleton, agreed to do the work. The
demonstration was located on sandy
loam soil of as near uniform fertility
as it was possible to find. Mexican
I ig Boll cotton seed were used and
the cultural methods wore the same
on all plots.”
The following gives the fertiliza
’-on and yield of each plot on an acre
basis: Plot 1 received 300 pounds of
and yielded 1140 lbs. seed cot
ton. Plot - received 300 pounds 8-3-3
and -00 lbs. Chilean Nitrate and gave
a yield of 1S40 pounds. Plot 3 was
tertilized with 400 pounds Acid Phos
phate and 50 pounds Muriate of
Potash and gave a yield of 1100 lbs.
Plot 4 received the samt fertilizer as
’ t 3 in addition to .'0 pounds of
< hi loan Nitrate at planting and 150
Pounds Chilean Nitrate as a side
dressing, and gave a yield of 1900
unds seed cotton.
"Each farmer should study the fer
tilization and yields of these various
plots, because there are some vclu
i‘do lessons that will be worth 10I
mrs when planning for next year’s
fertilizers,” continued Mr. Veach.
An interesting feature of this dem
onstration was a field meeting and
istimating contest held in September.
Prizes were offered by the Chilean
Nitrate Educational Bureau to those
making the least error in the esti
mate oi the yields. Julian Shaw won
uist place, Henry Cooke, second
place and Jesse Liles, third place.
"The results of this demonstration
together with experiment station re
• 'mmendations will be used in our
merling class work when studying fer
i dizers,” stated Mr. Veach.

HALIFAX
ROUTE TWO
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Brickell and
Mrs. George Brickell motored to
Louisburg Thursday to visit Mr. and
Mrs. R. C. Beck. From there Mrs.
Brcikell will go to Charlotte, to vis
it her son, J.B. Brickell.

Morecock of Littleton.
Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Brown were

The long spell of dry weather has
been fine on the gathering of crops
but has played havoc with the gar
dens in this section. The small grair
crops, such as rye etc., is also suf
fering for rain at this time, Tuesday
evening.
The cotton gins at Halifax and alsc
i t Pierce’s Cross Roads are running
fuil capacity and give employment tc
many in their operation. They, too
will soon come to a standstill, which
nierns more unemployment.
The first day of the mon*li is now
pay-day instead of the first Monday,
as formerly. This gives th.* commis
sioners more time to look after the af
fairs of their constituents, say the
knowing ones.
The A1 Capone of this section hav
ing been caught, tried and convicted,
the damper has been clon'd so far a.>
bootlegging is concerned :n this ter
ritory.
“How are you prospering these
days ?” 1 asked one of our most pro
gressive farmers last Sunday. ‘Pros
pering?" came the quie* response.
■ Well, there is nothing doing in that
line. My tobacco is gone, got s arce
!v nothing for it, not half the cost of
producing it. Peanuts quoted a t
about one half of what they sold for
last year. Cotton 6c and it cost 8c
to make it; got plenty of corn, but it
is worth very little, so I have noth
ing to gloat over. There is some
thing needed and if you will read the
‘ 18th Psalms, 25th verse you will find
( ut what it is. Good bye,” he said,
with a forlorn look on his face. “Como
to see me.”
The Herald is rapidly gaining more
and more favor with the people each
issue, they
“Honor the man who is willing to sink
One half his repute for his freedom
to think.
And when he has thought,
He the cause strong or weak
Will risk ‘tother half
For his freedom to speak.”
And such, they say, is the editor of
The Herald. A man once tried to edit
a paper to suit everybody. He is dead
now. Died in a lunatic asylum.
Misses Olivia Rook and Marjorie
Caldwell spent the week-end in Nor
folk and Newport News.
