TOP-DRESS '“UK POTASH Apply 100 pounds Muriate of Potash at Chopping Tima RUST IS A SURE SIGN OF POTASH STARVATION. Cotton needs extra potash to prevent rust, reduce wilt, and increase yields. Without sufficient potash, cotton plants become weak and show lack of vigor. Leaves turn yellow and drop off prematurely. Bolls are small, poorly developed, and hard to pick. Yields are low, lint is of poor quality and lacks uniformity. Southern Experiment Stations have found that where cotton rust appears, a liberal application of muriate of potash per acre should be applied as a top-dresser. This is in addition to the pot ash in tile fertilizer mixtures used at planting.

HOW'S yam H E ALTH $ Eitiidb Dr. Ug» QeltlHo* ihd Ntur Y«rk 'Academy of M*faw Popular Misconceptions. In a recent address on “The Art of Medicine." Dr. Christopher How ard discussed a number of popular misconceptions. People cling with conviction and sometimes emphasis to the belief that irso nnia is dangerous to healt and leads to mental exhaustion and insanity. There is no jot of proof that such is the case. Though bod ily rest is essential, mental obliv ion, even apparent, is not necessary to recurrent and adequate activity of the mind. The amount of sleep required by a given organism va 0 s between very wide limits. Tne best brain workers and those who,' by the world’s standards are acclaimed as great, often sleep very little. This must not be taken as a plea for less sleep. It merely means in somnia is not necessarily harmful. The belief is also wldspread that overwork leads to a nervous break down. Brain work itself never leads to any damage of the nervous tis sue, but five minutes’ fear or a day’s worry, which is civilization’s substi tute for fear, may effect a person irreparably for the worse. Many will argue that they know from personal experience of given cases in which overwork at college or on a new job has caused a “ner vous breakdown.” Appearances un critically accepted seem to bear out this contention, but a critical an alysis of the cited cases would re veal that the nervous breakdown was not the result of the overwork, but rather the reverse. The inten sive and ofttlmes comparatively un productive work was the result and expression of an anxiety which ulti mately led to the so-called nervous breakdown. In a healthy animal too much work, whether physical or mental, leads to fatigue and fatigue dictates rest and recuperation. In the anx ious person, excess fatigue becomes a stimulant which, if unchecked, may | lead to the disorganization of m* | individual's mental and emotion, lifef, and in consequence. a break down. Sir William Craigie, lexic^™ pher. says the word "barkwood,* originated in Virginia.
