April I.—The world's non-stop dancing record was smashed on Broadway tonight by a slender, blonde woman of 32, who hails from San Antonio. Her name is Alma ( urn mings. A’raa is as pretty as a sunset over ther Alamo and as wiry as a Texas mustang. “Tired? I’ll say not!” she sang out when she had danced exactly 25 hours and five minutes, one minute longer than the previous world’s record set at Eshington. Northumber land. Eng., on /March 22, by a man. “I’m going to make an oven 27 hours; going to dance until in o’clock, then, I’ll take a rest —maybe,” sbe said, when she danced around again Alma began her. stunt at the Audo hon ballrooms, Broadway and One Hundred and Sixty-sixth street, at 7 o’clock Saturday evening. She tired out six male partners. Her first dance •was a fox trot. And that measure was her favorite, waltzes serving as mere relaxation. WheTi the orchestra be came exhausted and called it a night. Saturday, fox trots on the gmpno phone kept her going. Exactly at 10 o’clock Alma quit dancing, with the band blaring “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” “I could have danced 10 hours more,” she said. “Give Couc some of the credit. I said I could break the world’s record if Uoue stood by me. I did it because I said I could; so there.” TEXAS MAN SEVERELY BEATEN BY BAND OF UNMASKED MEN K. W.

HU * x *; +■************* + The Importance of Delintijig Cotton Seed For Planting Purposes. iG. A. Cardwell. Agricultural and In dustrial Agent. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Mr. Bright Williamson, of Da fling ton. s. recently prepared by re quest of the'South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association, a jiapcr on the close spacing of cotton and the delinting of cotton seed for planting purposes. I am quoting below, that part of his paper dealing with delinting of seed. The results obtained, by him from ex perimental work with delintod seed clearly indicates the importance and value of this practice in insuring early germination and better and earlier stands. 1 might also mention that the prac tice of delinting planting seed aids ger mination. and insures lotted and ear lier stands. Especially is this (the case with staple cotton. iMiring cold and wet springs, such as we frequently have, I have found ii very difficult to obtain a stand of * ■of ton on certain classes of soil found on my farm. This is especially true of those soils which are heavy and in clined to crust and crack after spells of wet weather. In order to get some accurate infor mation of the value of planting delud ed seed, I decided to conduct an ex periment in 1921. I secured from the oil mill a peck of normal seed just as they were going into the conveyor. The second sample of the saiu.e seed was taken after they had passed through the recleaner and lirst gins (partially delinled). The third sample of the same seed was tit ken after they had passed through the recleaner, and had received both the lirst and second (tit ling (del luted). A heavy type soil, easily packed by rains and inclined to formulation oi' crusts and cracks upon drying, was selected to use in making this test. All seed were planted May 2. 1921. The following results were secured: May 7 —Deluded seed, 100 per cent, stand. May 7—Partly delinted seed, seed cracking ground. May 7 —Normal seed, none sprouting. May 14—Delinted seed. 100 per cent, stand. v May 14—Partly delinted seed, 50 per cent, stand. May 14—Normal seed, ground 1 be ginning to crack. .! May 21—Delinted seed, 400 per cent, stand. May 21—Partly delinted seed. 75 per cent, stand. May 21 —formal seed, 05 per cent, stand. May 28—Observation same, as May 21. June 4. —Observation same as May 21. No change in percentage of stand oc curred after May 21. This experiment simply strengthen ed my opinion on this matter, and as a result I had my entire crop of plant ing seed delinted at the oil mill for planting in 1922. At the same time a number of farmers in my community had their planting seed delinted. I have inquired of them as to their re sults* Their experience has been very satisfactory, as they were enabled to get a tine stand of cotton in four or live days. They expect to continue this practice in the future. ; This would not have been possible without the public spirit and co-operation of C. W. Skinner, manager of the Dar lington branch of the Southern Cotton Oil Company, who has always been anxious and willing to co-operate with tin* farmers of his community in every way possible. 1 feel that under normal weather conditions as they usually prevail about cotton planting time, that we ,-an add from one week to ten days to the earliness of our cotton crop, by de linting our sep<], and I feel that your association can render a great ser vice to the farmers of the state by making available a portion of your equipment for that purpose. This is especially true since the arrival of the boll weevil, as .all of you realize the importance of a farmer doing every thing possible to get his cotton off as early its possible. Ea s ter Was Celebrated One Week Too Early, Says Rector. Worcester, Mass., April 2. —When the Gregorian change in calendar was made and the calendar of Easter Sun days for future years was prepared some astronomer at Rome made a mistake in getting down April 1 as the date for this year, said Rev.
