FERTILIZING THE CROP. The primary object in using is to produce a larger yield of the crop that ifl to be immediately grown, or la already growing, on the land to which the fertilizer is to be applied. As a rule, It contains from ten to sixteen per cent, of more or less promptly available Plant food. In other words, a *1" tilizer contains in every hundred Pounds wefght from 10 to 16 pounds of available phosphoric acid, either alone, or that amount of phosphoric acid and potash combined, or of these two and nitrogen combined, making in the latter Case, what is called a "complete' fertilizer- Now, this 10 to 16 pounds in each 100 pounds of the fertilizer is supposed to be, and should be, practically soluble and avail able at once, or within a week or two, for the use of the crop, says Virginia- Carolina Fertilizer Almanac. The remaining portion of fertilizer, or the 84 to 90 pounds in each 100 pounds, is a mixture of insoluble phosphate and sulphate of lime, some 3and, water, or ganic matter and ot&er things that are necessarily incident to the manufacture, and cannot be economically removed. They are of very little immediate valu to either the crop pr the soil. So when we apply a high-grade fertil izer to the soil the object is to supply the plants with soluble plant food and increase the yield of the cotton, gram, grass, or whatever the crop may be. Incidentally, however, this fertilizer does help the land, because it induces a larger growth of stalk, roots and foliage of the Plants— or those parts that will be re turned to, and become part of the soli. A dose of this fertilizer, for instance, not only increases the yield of seed cot ton, but also the size of the stalks, the Xoliage, hulls and other parts that go immediately back and form a part of the soil in the shape of humus (decayed vegetable matter). But the principal way to improve the soil its?lt, is to add vege table matter to it in the- form of stable manure, renovating crops, rotation or crops, etc., in a more direct i..anner. It would seem manifest, then, If we wish to Increase the yield of cotton, wheat, oats, grass, etc., that the fertilizer should contain the three "elements or plant food in the proportions that are best suited to the particular crop. This Is particularly true if the purpose is to use liberal amounts of fertilizer per acre. In such case the deficient supply, in the natural soil, of any one or more or the three "valuable" elements, (phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash) need not be specially considered. According: to carefully conducted field experiments, conducted at many of the experiment stations, It has been found that cotton requires a fertilizer that con tains about one part each of nitrogen and potash and 3 1-3 *>arts of available phos phoric acid. This" demand would be met by a fertilizer containing 10 per cent, available phosphoric acid, 3 per cent, of nitrogen and 3 per cent, of potash; or, as ordinarily expressed, a 10—3—3 fertilizer. OnA analyzing 9—2.70—1.70; or 8—2.40—2.40; or 7—210—2.10, etc., would answer just a*. LENOIR COLLEGE Hckoiy, Norih Carolina Degree Courses with Electives, High Standard, Able Faculty, Thorough Work.

So it has been found that corn, sugar cane, sorghum, grasses and other crops belonging to the grass family respond l.est to a fertilizer that shall contain 10 part* - oi phosphoric acid, 5 parts ol nitro gen and 2 parts of pota3h— or £ 10-o—2 Fertilizer. The following formulas are In precisely the same proportions, only they are of lower grade, and would give practicaliy the same results only wl.en a correspondingly larger application shall be m&de per acre—vis., 9—4.50—1.50; or g—4.00—1.60; or 7—3.G0—1.40, and so on. Of course, these lower grades can be sola at lower prices than the high grades; but, as a rul«\ the farmer will find it more economical to buy the high grades, both on account of their cheaper price per "unit" and also the saving of freight the latter being precisely the same, per ton. for both high and low grades. APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN PLANTING. While It is certainly true, in our ex ; perience, that the greater part of the fer tilizer should be applied about two weeks before the crop is to bo planted, well mixed in the soil of the bedding furrow and bedded on, there are circumstances that would justify a farmer in making one or more intercultural applications, including one at the actual date of plant ing. The following are such clrcumstan (l) When a farmer has not been able to secure the whole amount of his fer tilizers before planting time. (2) When he concludes, after his crop has been planted and Is growing, that he did not buy and apply as much as he should have done before planting. (3) When the yellowish green color and want of vigor in the appearance of the plants indicate that more nitrogen is needed by the crop. We believe it may be safely accepted as a general rule that a small portion of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer should be ■ applied with, or near the seed, at the time of planting. The effect of this small application is to supply the young plants with available food during the flrst stage , of their growth, Inducing prompt and vigorous development. For this purpose 40 to 50 pounds per acre may be applied of the same fertilizer that had been bed ded on two weeks before planting. A second application of high-grade fer tilizers may be made at the second or third plowing of cotton, or at six or eight inches height of the plants up to 18 Inch es, or the middle to last of May, and the k middle to last of June. The intercultu.al applications may be made in the siding furrow, or the fer tilizer may be strewn along in the middle; ahead of the plow or cultivator. There is no need to fear that the plants will , not get the benefit of a high-grade fer tilizer If out anyhere. on or between the rows. June 26th Is the latest date at which the writer has ever applied fer tilizer in this way to either corn or cot ton, although there is little reason to doubt that even later applications would benefit the crop; but probably not enough *o pay the cost of the fertiliser. Joe Fry's Case. Joe case will be tried at this term of court for the theft c of watermelons from Mr. F. Bot- ] linger of this township about ; two years aw. At. the begin- ( ning Fry skipped bond of -SSO, j furnished by Deputy Sheriff J. j P. Burns, but was afterwards t arrested by Deputy Burns near ( Hickory. t Frv then released himself by. j putting up cash bond of $75. ( James Hartsoe's Case Disposed of.~ James Hartsoe was placed on \ trial for an assault on Will Mar- j shall several months ago with a | pocket knife. j Hartsoe wis at first under j bond in the sum of SIOO furnish- 1 ed by Mr. A. R. Flannagin, of . Hickory, for his appearance at t the court of justice. Hartsoe disappeared but later , was rearrested by Deputy Sheriff . Burns in Rutherfordton county j where he was employed in a . blacksmith shop and was brought j back and placed in jail at New- ton. He was fined s3l and cost, j A Good Result. 1 Under the operation of the new Pure Food Laws, baking j powders now generally bear on the labels a statement of the in gredients. This is of utmost im portance because of the harmful ingredients used in many cases. ] Royal Baking Powder is known to be thf only baking powder made of Royal Grape Cream of Tartar, and this no doubt ex- ( plains its greatly increased sale ( here. ( Careful housekeepers are tak- i ing advantage of the protection which the Laws afford, and are j examining all the reading mat- ] ter on the back of the label be- j fore adopting any brand for use j in the home. When, in place of the words | Cream of Tartar the words , "alum" "aluminum" or "phos phate of lime" appear among the ingredients, they heed the warn ing and avoid baking powders 1 containing these substitues. Located in Springfield, Mo. Robert Hilton, who assaulted his wife with a shot gun on last Thanksgiving day, and had fled Ifrom justice was brought back by Deputy Sheriff Burns and placed in jail at Newton to be j tried at this term of court. De puty Sheriff Burns being Hil ton's bondsman in the sum of SIOO was for two reasons des perately on the trail of Hilton. First as a sworn duty and sec ondly as a self protection financ ially. The action of Hilton appears to have been of a very thought less nature. On tfie 21st of June Hilton purchased a railroadj ticket straight through from Hickory co Springfield, Mo., apparently needless of the fact that he was oeing shadowed by the police ol iickory, consequently the chase .Vds easy. Hilton had secured a positioi .vith the Spring-field Furniture 30., of Springfield, Mo., andhat 3een at work three days wher ; arrested there.; - Just what disposal of the case is yet unknown, but in all proba bility will be decided some time this week.
