NET RETURNS MEASURE OF FERTILIZER VALUE Most Consider ReUtive Cost and Setting Price of Crop Retuiu With Cotton The profitableness of the use of commercial fertilizers depends not only upon the composition of the fertilizer used, but also upon the relative cost of the commer cial fertilizer and the selling price of the crop or crops produced, according In C. R. Williams, Chief N. C. Division of Agrono my. "Where good farming is done and the right kind of fertilizers used, frequently the quantity of fertilizer per acre is not in suffic ient amounts to give the largest net returns per acre. Other things being equal, the most profitable yields should be secur ed by materially increasing the yields per acre above what they are on an average at present, and if necessary to maintain a definite amount of production for 'the farm, then to reduce the acreage of the cotton and other crops, in other words, where! good farming is done, relatively large yields per acre are general ly "wise. Not the largest yields, however, are always the most profitable. 'To show that the claims made aboye are true, ' the table punched below give some data from the average of ten years field experiments at the Iredell Farm in the Piedmont section, and similar results from eleven years field experiments with cotton on the edgecombe farm in the Coastal Plain section. "In making the calculation for the results from both the Iredell and Edgecombe farms, it has been assumed that cotton would next fall sell at 15 cents for lint and 40 cents for cotton seed, r ' approximately 5.9 cents for seed cotton. We have assumed that the cost of fertilizing constitu ents delivered at the nearest railway station to the farm would be 8 cents a pound for phosphoric acid, 25 cents for ni trogen, and 12 cents for potash. The values are not very far off from present prices for those who will buy their fertilizers ju didousty. We have not included the cost of hauling from the rail way, or of applying the fertilizer mixture to the land. These are so variable for different forms that it was thought best to leave the calculation of these costs to the individual farmers themsel ves. These costs will not affect m&tsrislls the relative profitable ness of the different quantities of fertilizer applied per acre which is the particular matter under consideration. "It wilt be observed that with a good mixture and cotton lint selling for fifteen or more cents dct pound next fall, it would be wise for the best paying returns per acre to use not less than 600 pounds per acre on Piedmont soils and a larger quantity than this on Coastal Plain soils. On average soils, if one is going to grow cotton, there is no question at aH in our minds witn reier ence to the wisdom of using fer tilizers of the proper kinds."

On two acres of land last year he grew enough wheat for j his years flour requirements and feed for his three team. Besides ; having a well stocked smoke house he sells some two hundred dollars worth of meat each year. High priced cotton held no charm : for him. He onlv nlanted his re . . : . . t guiar two acre tract wnen cotton was 40 cents. He has some cotton now but says he won't plant his regular two acres this year. Mr. Ivey occupies a very unique position in that he does not owe anyone a single penny. Truly he must be a good farmer!

I When youth uml spriuiiint' iiii'W in ' the mind of the iIomiht of millinery I we are presented with such concep tions as those in the inup of hats : shown above. One of the new shiny i fabrics makes the draped turbnn with i its audacious 'rooplug bow at the right side. Knife-plaited ribbon is responsi- ; ble for the cheerful hat in rose color ' that looks as if it might be made of , sea shells at the right. The odd and Uualilug shape at the left has a satin ! brim and fancy bruld crown with a cluster that comprises fruits, flowers and foliage posed against it. The wide-brimmed braid hat boasts of lovely lines not Interfered with by a rosette and ends of satin ribbon posed at the side. These are only lour among the myriads of hats made to grace the heads of young women, but from them may be gathered something of the vivacity and the generul bright ness of new shapes and materials for spring.

UN CHARGE OF FORGERY Another arrest was made this week in connection with the for gery case the Citizens Bank and Trust Co are prosecuting, K. Gay being the new defendant. Last week O. T. Hutton was arraigned before Justice J. K. Dickens charged with forging C. O. Keeter's name on a $50 check. Hutton contended that he was in nocent and that his endorsement on the check was made to help Gay, who was posing as C. 0. Keeter, get the check cashed at at a Henderson bank. The check however bore no Henderson bank endorsement, and as stated last I . week, Justice Dickens found pro bable cause and placed Hutton under a $500 bond. As soon as Gay learned of Hut ton's arrest, he left very hurried ly leaving no address. However he was located a few days later at Raleigh and brought back for trial. Gay flatly denied every 'allegation of Hutton, but his sig- nature on the check was more impressive to His Honor than Gay's denials. He was placed under a $1500 bond, and Hutton's bond was increased to $1500 also.
