How it Helps in the Navy. Harpers Weekly. There is .i certain naval officer of the United States who is very much opposed to the use of profanity in the officers under his command. Indeed, he has been known severely to reprimand in private, officers on his ship heard to address their men in profaue terms. The following story is told con cerning admiral's command of a squadron engaged in target maneu vers in Magdalena Bay, Lower California. The commanding officer observed one day that the men of his ship, the flagship, seemed to lag behiud the crews of the other ves sels of the squadron, being the last to finish the execution of a com mand or to carry out a maueuver. He mentioned this fact to his cap tain. Just as the latter jvas about to replv there came floating over the water from the vessel standing by the flagship a volley of oaths, the result of which was that there was some pretty hustling ou the part ot the men addressed. Glancing at his superior officer with a smile, the captain replied: "That's it, sir. Yon see, sir my men don't get enough encourage ment like that."

Making More Money Out of Cotton Crops is merely a question of using enough of the right kind of fertilizers. Fertilizers are the right kind. The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you. See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says: "I planted about 30 acres of some 'gray sandy land' that had been in cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers per acre, and I expect to gather SO bales from the SO acres." This is why we say it is the right kind.
