1 Cotton Growers Answer Questions
I Propounded By Col. W. M Person
The Tribune Bureau
1 Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, March 19.—The officers ot
. the Cotton Growers' Co-operative As
sociation have decided to answer the
I twelve questions propounded originally
By Colonel Willie M. Person, of co
op "busting" fame, and will rnswer
these questions, which will show gross
mismanagement of the affairs of the
association, according to an announce
ment by Colonel Person.
But in addition to answering these
questious propounded by Colonel Pcr
! son in writing between now and April
I fith, the three principal officers of
j the association. U. B. Blalock, gen
era! manager: R. W. Kilgore, presi
! dent, and F. P. Webster, assistant
| manager, have also agreed to submit
jto an oral examination by Colonel
|| Person on April .jth in Raleigh. The
j examination will be held before a
special master in chancery, to be
I named by Federal Judge Isaac M.
j Meek ins, according to Colonel Person.
The questions already propounded
by Colonel I’ersou deal largely with
the amounts that have been paid out
by the association in dealing iu mar
gins. and he alleges that the associa
tion has lost thousands of dollars for
its members by dealing in these mar
gins. and that the losses were charged
to the growers.
Colonel Person seeks to learn from
the association the amounts collected
as margins on cotton sold on cnll. and
the profits on the rise in the market,
and what was done with the profits,
ns well as the hedgings which have
been made on the cotton exchange,
and in whose name the contracts were
bought and sold.
Following the probe into the asso-;
elation's dealing in margins. Colonel
Person then asks for the details con- 1
(Truing the travelling expenses and
salaries paid to the officers of the as
-1 sociation, the amount of money lost
I in dealing in futures, and the total re
l serve fund iu banks to the credit of
I the association.
l The questions as propounded fol
i low :
I 1. The amounts paid out by the as
j sociation as margins on cotton sold in
[ call and to whom paid? and if said!
i GEORGIA FARMERS ARE
| PLANTING MUCH TOBACCO
| From 30.000 to 75.000 Acres Being
1 Planted Now—Expect 310.000.000
i From the Crop.
| Atlanta, Ga„ March 19,—(INS) —
, Gold in the form of bright leaf tobacco,
is beiug planted on - from 50,000 to
75,000 acres in Georgia this year.
Thifl "golden crop" will bring from
$1(1,000.000 to $12,00(1.000 in new
wealth into the hands of farmers, it
is expected.
Not! only to Georgia does this ap
ply. but to neighboring states as well.
Outivation of bright leaf tobacco upon
an acceptable basis has become a raat
: ter of fundamental importance to all
farmers of the southeast, according to
Dr. Andrew M. Soul, president of
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture.
As with all new crops, there is a
tendency to exploit its cultivation on
the part of those unacquainted with
its pecularities, and it is u great mis
take, he said.
“Tobacco of. this type can only be
■ grown satisfactory by experts and aan
only be raised profitably on certain
weU-defined soil types, sjich as the
Portsmouth and Norfoflk series con
stitute. Of'course there are some
exceptions to this, as bright leaf to
bacco’ has been limited extent upon
some of the lighter and sandier phases
of the Tifton and Greenville series.
It will do best, however, upon the
type .of land once psed successfully
for the cultivation of sea island cot-

Light and friable soild are best
adapted to the cultivation of bright
leaf tobacco and as a rule are uotiee
ably deficient in readily available sup
plies of essential plant food elements,
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
It is these characteristics which they
possess in such a marked degree that ,
makes them invaluable for the purpose
indicated, although in their natural
state they would not produce profitable
crops of tobacco. They must be gen
erously fertilized.
A 1,500 pound crop of tobacco •
stalks and leaves will remwe from
the earth about 60 pounds of nitro
gen, 7.5 pounds of phosphoric acid,
60 pounds bf potash and 46 pounds
of lime, according to reports- of
chemists.
Nitrogen is said to be the most
essential element needed Had when
this is absent, the; leaf is stuuted.
If too much, or the wrong kind is
used, and there is an excess of organic 1
matter in the soil, the leaf will cure
a red, brown, or mottled Color. There
is no profitable market for this to
bacco.
When the right carrier of nitrogen
has been found, the color of the leaf
will gradunly change from green' un
til the end of the curing process,
when it wil have reached a clear
lemon or bright orange color. Ordin
arily form 40 to 50 pounds of mtro- ,
gen should be applied per acre. In- |
(•estimations indicate than an average !
application of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds
of an 8-3-3-formula give the best re
sults. j

Bob Ward, college student, work*
«* a dancing partner for rich wo
men in a Nero Jersey roadhouse.
Bob thinks it isn’t a fit way to make
• living; but beggars can't be
dfoosersl At the Inn he meets the
prettiest, sweetest girl he has ever
laid eyes on—Sally, the cigarette
girl. Reciprocating his interest, she
beams him against the mysterious
imd beautiful Mrs. Hammond,
(habitue of the Inn, who finds her
f thrill" in “hunting ” Bob for her
lovenest apartment. But Bob takes
Sally home.
CHAPTER X Continued.
Meantime, Bob and Sally were
rooming through the upper Broad
way tuba. Love’s first conversa
tions are of the kind to be whis
pered—not yelled above the roar
l of the subway. So tba two sat
silent in happy reflections over the
miracle.
Getting out at the 108 rd Street
Station, they walked west two
blocka and reached a modest, old
time four-story brownstone. 1
Sally had told him that she was
fatherless; that she lived with her
two little brothers and her mother,
pob. appraising the bouse with In
terest as the dwelling place of this
fluffy yet sensible bit of girlish
loveliness that had come Into his
life so suddenly and Bweetly, could
almost piece the rest of the story
together. The house left to them
by the father; Mrs. Smith main
taining Its respectable front partly
through Sally’s earnings, and large-
Lno doubt through taking in
rders to fill up the spare rooms
Os the upper stories. Os course
she took boarders. It was just
shat sort of a house —for a widow
ed mother.
Bob, snapping out of his covert

appraisal, waa fussed to find Sally
. contemplating him.
I ‘‘Like it?” she smiled.
I "Oh, I didn’t mean to be staring
ao rudely. But I like it heaps be
cause it’s old-fashioned. Because
i it Just sort of fits—you’,”
! "Ton say the nicest things. Bob!
Do you say them to every girl you
moot at the school? And yon must
meat a lot of pretty glrla. Bob,
at the achool proms and affairs
Ilka that —a famous football player
like you."
"I am more apt to moot the usual
girl,” Bob laughed, "because of my
football, than because I’m an honor
student In engineering!”
"How wonderful it la to be, a
En and atndy such things!”
athed little Sally Smith, catch
her first scents of worldflung
romance.
They fell Into an awkward al
ienee now. The Incredible lapses

brain lies dreaming. Bob was ren
dered bashfully quiet by the spon
taneity of her interest in his per
sonal career; little Sally Smith
waa Just a mite awed In the min
gled presence ot masculine brains
and brawn. Sally looked fear
scunaly at Bob’a big bands and
qtflvortf strangely la bar soft lit
tle Banka as ghe thought bow his
flagon could enclrclo tar waist, as
they might a football, and crush
her. . ’ ; ■
But little Sally Smith, fay tba
aaa inward instinct, knew also
that there waa more potency to
guide and disarm in 'her archness
than in all his mttsAe. she sailed
up at her cave man;
•But you didn't answer my ques

grotty girls, sad do you say those
nice, flattering things to all of

M. C. 8. Noble Celebrates Seventy-
Second Birthday.
Chapel Hill, March 19.—Miss Alice
Noble gave her father, M. C. S. Noble,
Dean of the University’s School of
Education, a dinner party this week
in eelebration of his birthday. He
was 72 on Tuesday, March 15.
Professor Noble had not been warn
ed of the affair. The arrival of his
son, Mark, from Raleigh was natural
much of a grind and too muck cfi
a pauper. The kind of girls who
com* to the prom* fall tor a fel
low like mo around the football
season because they can boast about
knowing a football player. But the
rest of the year they haven’t much
use for a bone. Especially a bone
who hasn’t a bone to hie name.
That’s a good line, ehT I’U have to
tell It to the boys! And so far as
saying nice things to those girls Is
concerned, well I’ve never been In
terested enough In any one of
them to say—nice things about
them!”
Bob laughed merrily; Sally gig
gled. Another awkward silence was
wrapping around them, when Bob
suddenly asked; '
"Hasn’t any other fellow over |
said—nice things to you?" j
Sally colored and fldgetted.
“Oh," added Bob quickly, **l |
mean aside from those fools In thq ,
Palisado roadhouse. I mean—nice !
fellows. Fellow you’ve met social*
ly. You know, at church and par
ties and so on.”
Still Sally hesitated, and before I'
she could give voice to whatever |
is was she was framing with such ■
difficulty, the glass door was
abruptly opened and a strident
voice exclaimed;
“Sally, are you going to stand
out there a!l evening?”
The color traced In Sally’s
cheeks by her hesitancy about an
swering Bob’s question, deepened
now to a red glow of embarrass
ment, as she said, patiently,
”1 haven't been here but a minute,
Mother! Mother, I want you to
meet Mr. Bob Ward; Bob. this Is my
mother. Bob Is the great football
player, Mother, that the boys used
to talk about last fall. I mean my
Kid brothers" — she explained ta
Bob. It was evident that she was
trying to make conversation lq
order to hide her pained confusion
over the aggressive and unpleasant
appearance and attitude of her
mother. She went on —"Mr. Ward
Is a student at New York Univer.
sity, and lie’s going to work over
at the Inn for a few weeks!”
Bob acknowledged the presenta
tion by a courtly bow to the rather
thin, rather old, and altogether
shrewish woman who stood within
the vestibule, holding . the outer
door ajar only far enough to per
mit of unimpeded speech; and
looking well prepared to vanish as
belligerently as she had come, at
any moment.
Bob, recovering furtively from
tho shock of the unfriendly greet
ing, noted with, great satisfaction
that SaUmtM feflMt or slightest .
feature or mannsh resembled her
mother. That was a good thing;
else he felt that, present Indies,
tlons and appearances to the com !
trary, he would have lost his lq, ,
terest in the eombed-honey Prla- <
cess.
Mrs. Smith, thought Bob whimsl, 1
rally, in the quick and comprehend 1
sive and shrewd way ip which hl| !
engineer’s brain sited up situa
tions, was the sort of woman who
always survived* her husband,
He had no doubt that Sally resem
bled the departed bread-winner.
For Sally’s manner toward her
mother showed a-trace of fear, and
a world of mellow patlqnon, re
markable In one so young. Bob
was also sure that subsequent
events would prove that the boys
—the "kid brothers” Sally had re.
ferred to —would prove to be chlpd
off the maternal block. It was
ever thus.
All these thoughts raced through
Bob’s head, in less time that it
took him to make hie bow and
, smile.
Mrs. Smith acknowledged the in
troduction with a cart jerk of her
head. She had sized him np
through the glass door curtains, erd
she had some out, and had made the
, snappy and unerring judgment o|
an ambitious mother as to his flnan,
dal prospects.
A college student! Pa ugh!

. to starve after he got out of col-1
i lege, before he'd be able to support'
. a wife—lt then. Certainly, not a
i man tor the mother at pretty little
. Sally Smith to be interested In.
I "Pleased to meet you!”
Then, to Sally, who looked an
i though she would like to sink
i through the entrano*-' steps, neves
t to come up;
"Come, come—yea'd better hurry
i in and get your sapper, and dress

l "Never mind why. Then'S some,

- "Something for me?"
f "Yes, there's a box at the lore

t “Flowers? For me? From

he's coming op tonight to anil op
