King, and was married to Mr.
Beasley Just three and a half
months. Though the days of the
honeymoon and flowers were not
over, the ravages of pneumonia
entered the happy home and in
spite of all that could be done,
took her away. No use to say that
only the family sympathizes with
the bereaved husband, but this
entire community shares with him
in these the saddest hours of his
life. Mrs. Beasley was a charm
ing young woman in her twen
tieth year and was loved and
esteemed by hundreds of friends,
evidence of which was the unusu
ally large crowd that attended the
funeral Tuesday afternoon, which
was conducted from the home of
her father, where the body was!
taken for interment, by Rev. S.
5. McGregor and Rev. Dixon
McDonald.

Return to Long Staple
"In the Atlantic coast section the
outlook for continued cotton pro
duction seems to lie in the possi
bility of a return to longer staples,
either sea-island or long-staple up
land. In recent years short-staple
upland varieties have replaced sea
island. This is perhaps a temporary
expedient. A return to long-staple. |
may be feasible if communities can i
unite on a single variety. It is diffi- \
cult, however, to avoid weevil in
jury to the long-staples if earlier 1
short-staple varieties are to con
tinue in the same district.”—W. M.
Jardine, former Sec. of Agriculture.

Analysis for Bright-leaf
For bright tobacco on soils that
are quite productive, and on the
heavier soils, the fertilizer should
contain about 3 percent nitrogen, 8
percent phosphorio acid, 5 percent
potash, according to agronomists
and tobacco specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the experiment stations and
agricultural colleges of Virginia,
the Carolines and Georgia. These
experts met tn Raleigh, N. C.. last
September, and agreed in recom
mending the best analyses for
bright-leaf.
On light-colored soils that have
red subsoils, the experts said, the
fertilizer should be a 3-8-3 analysis
of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash.
On light or less productive soils,
the analysis should be 4-8-6, in the
order of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash.

times with a V-C crop to have any

Fewer Seed, Better Plants
Reduce the average amount of
seed sown In your tobacco bed b.v
half, says the Yearbook of Agricul
ture. declaring that almost invari
ably a tobacco grower seeds his plant
bed too thickly. To plant fewer seed
is better than to plant a thick bed
and then have to thin it by hand,
which is slow and laborious, or rake
the bed. which hurts tender leaves.
If the seed has been re-cleaned and
all light and immature individuals
taken out, it is even better to re
duce the average amount by two
thirds, feays the Yearbook. If to
bacco seed has been thoroughly re
cleaned, one ounce of it contains
about 300,000 viable seed, says the
Yearbook; so that an ounce of seed
to 700 square feet of bed ought to
bring a st and of three seedlings to
the square inch, or about 8,000
plants to 1R square feet. This allows
plenty of room for developing vigor
ous seedlings with healthy root sys
tems. and does not sacrifice space
beyond reason.
