Perhaps you have never given much con
-•iteration to their purchase, but think for a minute of the long days
the little ones must spend in using them, and how muh pleasure and
-satisfaction it means if everything is just like they want it.
Something that does not suit is a keen dis
oppointment, and now is the time that your children are forming
'fcaljits and ideaß that will have a great influence on their futures.
Failure to equip them with the proper supplies is an actual
Ihamdicap.
We have taken all of these features into consideration in buying
our school supplies, and the children will receive the same prices, if
they come alone, as you do.

What Is Lost By Burning The
Cotton Stalks
Hr. B. \V. Kilgore, Stale Chem
ist of North Carolina, states that:
Ihe roots stems, bolls and leaves
corresponding to (or which pro
duce) five hundred pounds of lint
cotton, are around 8,145 pound--,
or more than one and one half tons,
containing 17.7 pounds of nitro
gen, 26.5 pounds of phosphoric
acid, 50.3 pounds of potash, and
59.8 pounds of lime; or the equiv
alent of five tons of good manure. ”
These figures are the result of
actual weighing and analyzing,
and not guess-work.
North Carolina, or the part of it
where these tests were made, is
pretty well toward the northern
limit of the Cotton Belt and the
proportion of roots, stems, and
leaves, to lint produced, is smaller
than in more southern portions of
the Cotton Belt. Hence it would
seem quite probable that the fig
ures obtained in North Carolina
are under, rather than over, in the
average Cotton Belt. If this be
true, and we have no reason to
doubt it, the acre of land which
produces a 500-pound bale of cot
ton also produces, on an average,
approximately one and on&-half
tons of humus-forming material
which is destroyed when the stalks
are burned. This is the greatest
need of our southern soils, even
the supposedly rich Mississippi
Delta soils showing large increase
in crops from the addition of hum
us-forming materials In addition
of this, keeping in mind that the
uext greatest need of Southern
soils is nitrogen, it must not be
forgotten that when the stalks
which produce 500 pounds of lint
are burned, there is a complete
loss of 67.7 pounds of nitrogen,
which at 18 cents a pound is worth
$12.18.
Fire, has ever been the bane of
Southern agriculture, and every
scientific fact and all intelligent
experience dictates that it must
cease, We must use the impli
ments and team force necessary to
plow under all the vegetable mat
ter that can not be used for feed
ing live stock ; for without humus,
Southern 3'uls are poor,while with
it, they will produce most abund
antly.— Progressive Farmer.

x The Origin of Royster Fertilizers.
Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the
Manufacturer of Fertilizers who would place quality
above other considerations. This was Mr. Royster’s
idea Twenty-seven years ago and this is his idea
to-day; the result has been that it requires Eight
