Unbalanced Mother
LONDON.—Mrs. Elsie Ada Saun
ders was found in a ditch, tightly
bound, ner clothing torn and her
mouth filled with earth. She said
two men had attacked, robbed her.

nearby, its mouth and nostrils stuffed
with paper. Mrs. Saunders later con

her child because she was out of

For More Than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
* pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
a ] BO> loo pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN P otash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.

How About a Fur Farm?'
Npt as Hard as It Seems
When the trapping season closes,
one of the first questions the man or
boy trapper asks himself is, “What
shall I do during the off season?”
Os course, you should do everything
you can to protect the fur supply and
conserve the fur crop, especially dur
ing the breeding season. If you
have the time and convenience you
can also help to increase the fur crop
by raising the animals on your own
land.
Not much space is needed —just a
few pens in the barnyard or on the
land nearby. Fur farming is becom
ing more popular and widespread ev
ery day, and in many farm yards the
wired-in enclosures where the fur
bearers are raised in captivity are.
bigger money makers than the chick
en coops. .
It has been found that skunk,
mink, fox, raccoon may be raised
successfully in captivity and in some
districts, marten, beaver, and otter.
For the person . undertaking fur
farming with the idea of experiment
ing and further learning before
branching out on a large*scale, skunk
or fox are probably the best animals
to raise at first.
There is money in fur farming
if properly conducted. Several' black
silver fox ranches in different parts
of the country, worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars, present ample
testimony. So don’t go into it in
the spirit of play or indifference.
Study your animals well; learn how
to feed, shelter, and care for them.
Get all the useful information you
can on this subject. The U. S. Dept,
of Agriculture publishes several val
uable bulletins relating to fur farm
ing.
Girls Wed U. S. Soldiers,

MANILA, P. I.—Two Russian girls
who arrived recently from Siberia as
stowaways on the transport Crook

American soldiers of the Thirty-first
infantry.
The girls, Olga Vohromayeva and
Feodorahka Motha, dressed as

they attempted to land here they
were taken into custody.
An hour before the transport Mad

service, who expected to start them
an their return to Siberia.
While the party was awaiting at

The immigration authorities de

their husbands, the crowd gave them

Breaks Into Prison to
Escape High Prices
Robert Needham, paroled three

Grand Opera Week Closes
Leaving Behind 'Memories’
Grand Opera “has came/hnd went,”
as it were, after giving thousands of
music lovers such wonderful treats,
as the seven operas held. Caruso’s
golden voice thrilled every one as it
had many times before. Farrar’s
lute like soprano opened wide the
doors of love and sympathy for Cio-
Cio-San, in her interpretation of
Madam Butterfly. And on Saturday
afternoon when the familiar strains
of that Oldland most loved opera.
11 Trovatore, reached the ears of
the listeners, not the slightest sound
was heard through that vast audi
ence, so deep was the spell. The
anvil chorus, filled the hearts of the
people seated in that huge audito
rium. as nothing else had done. The
music throughout the opera was
nothing short of sublime.
The program for the week was as
follows, Monday night, Caruso, in
the opera, Samson and Delila; Tues
day, Farrar, in the French opera,
Zaza; Wednesday night Lucia,
Thursday afternoon La Juive (mean
ing the Jewess; this was said to be
the deepest of all the operas. On
Friday night, Madam Butterfly;
Saturday Afternoon II Trovatore,
and Saturday night. The Elixar of
Love, a light but tuneful opera.
Caruso, Scotti and Maria Barrientos.
Three of the most famous stars at
the last drop of the curtain left a
glow in the hearts of the music-lov
ing public.
i Opera seasort closed this year with
the largest audiences it had ever
known; the house was sold out and
many turned away at each perform
ance. The receipts disclosed the
fact that over $135,000 had been
spent by the people, and it proves
conclusively that the people of the
south still love the higher and bet
ter things.

COTTON
NEW YORK, May 3. —Reports that there
bad been showers or rains in the eastern
sections of the belt over Sunday, combined
with better prospects for a settlement of
the Yancashire wage dispute, the passing
of May day without any sensational devel
opments abroad", and the stronger opening
tone of the stock market, led to sharp ad
vances in cotton at the opening today. First
prices were unchanged to 60 points higher,
with late months relatively firm, but near
positions firmed up right after the call, the
general list selling about 25 to 55 points net
higher. This carried July up to 38.45 c and
October to 36c, after which there were
reactions of 20 to 25 points under realizing.
The failure of the eastern belt rain news
and early advance to attract a broadening
commission house demand were evidently a
disappointment to early buyers. The easier
tone of the stock market after an opening
advance also promoted a tendency to take
profits on long contracts and prices worked
lower late in the morning. July was rela
tively weak, selling off to 38.05 c, or 15
points net lower, while later months showed
reactions of some 35 to 45 points from the
best, with October selling at 35.55 c, or only
10 points above Friday’s closing. Brokers
with Japanese connections were credited
with selling July and October.
Trading was quiet during the early after
noon, and there was little further change in
prices, which, however, showed a tendency
to sag -wilder scattered liquidation. July
sold off to 38c, or about 20 points net lower,
but the new crop remained relatively steady
owing to unfavorable advices from the
south, with October ruling around 35.57.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS', May 3.—T00 much rain
in the eastern half of the belt caused rather
strenuous buying of cotton on the opening
today and for some time after, but after
July had risen to 38.50 c and the active
months were 50 to 57 points up the imyket
did a right-about face and reacted sharply
on private predictions of rain in Texas. To
ward the middle of the morning the trading
months were only 10 to 30 points higher
than the close of last week, July falling off
to 38.10 c. Belief in rain for the western
belt was based on the low barometer over
that section of the belt.
Unfavorable reports concerning labor de
velopments among New England mills were
largely offset by numerous complaints of re
planting on a large scale in several states
in the belt and the market madeuittle price
change, standing late in the morning 2 to 30
points over the close of Saturday, the dis
tant months being stronger than the near.
The market retained a rather easy under
tone into the late trading and toward the
close stood 5 points down to 22 points up
compared with Saturday’s final prices, July
being the weakest month and dropping to
37.95. Distant months were steadier than
the near because of reports of more rain
during the day in the eastern belt.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, May 3. —The rains east
of the Mississippi river were the cause of
the early buying in cotton today, after
which the market became more or less unset
tled under private predictions of rain in
Texas and uncertainty over the labor situa
tion in the New England mill district. The
official forecast calls for only cloudy
weather in Texas and Oklahoma. Should the
low barometer over the west bring rain over
night it would cause heavy selling.

Commodity Prices
There were several recessions of special
importance and much stronger resistance to
the upward trend of prices this week than
recently, with thirty-eight declines appearing
in the list of quotations received by Dun’s
Review, as compared with twenty-six ad
vances. While supplies were not burden
some, improvements in traffic conditions ed
to expectations of lower prices for dairy
products, and buyers held off; but, though
the better offerings of fresh butter sold
down sharply, medium and lower grades,
and cheese and eggs, were comparatively
firm. Continued light receipts and reports of
an increased export demand imparted notice
able strength to cron, oats and rye, and
quotations soared to the highest poitit of
the season eary In the week. Large re
ceipts at the principal markets weakened
prices of beef, bogs and sheep, but, as
many sales were a matter of private bar
gaining, it was extremey difficut to ascer
tain the actual market. Provisions moved
within a rather narrow range, but the gen
eral trend wasieasy. Notable strength con
tinues the outstanding feature of the iron
and steel Industry, and practically all
changes that have occurred have been to
ward a higher level, but some shading of
prices has been noted in the minor metals.
All classes of cotton goods are firmly held,
but sentiment in hides and leather still
seems to be reactionary, and rubber and silk
prices are easy. ■

Weekly Crop Notes [
Co-operative crop reporting service for
Georgia: United States Bureau of Crop
Estimates (F. W. Gist, acting field agent);
Georgia Department of Agriculture (J. J.
Brown, commissioner); weekly crop notes,
April 25 to May 1, 1920.
The first part of the week was gen
erally fair and warm, giving opportunity
for much farm work, which was devoted
largely to planting. On the 26th very heavy
rains fell over the central portion of the
state, which seriously retarded - work and
added to the already excessive moisture in
the soil. Light rains 1 also fell ove rthe
remainder of the state. Temperatures were
lower, accompanying the rains.
The fruit oiftlook for Georgia at this
time is fairly good, notwithstanding that
it has been materially damaged by cold,
rain and hail. The late reports indicate
that there will be some peaches left from
the recent cold snap in the northern part
of the state. In the central and southern
portions peaches are in fair condition.
Apples are rather late in blooming in
some sections, due to the continued cold
weather, though the outlook is good for a
fair crop. Pears have been damaged to
some extent by cold and blight, however,
they seem to be in good condition.
Strawberries have been damaged by the
continued rains, though a good yield is
promised.
The wheat, oats and rye crop continue
very promising, though some poor stands
of spring oats. Farm preparation has been
very limited owing to the continued rains
and scarcity of labor, yet some progress
lias been made during the last few days.
Practically no planting has been done in
the northern part of the state, while in
the central section planting is being pushed
rapidly. South Georgia has had difficulty
in getting a stand on account of wet
weather and inferior seed. In many sec
tions planting over has been necessary, some
planting the third time. The scarcity off
cottonseed in many places has necessitated
the change of crops from cotton to corn,
peas, beans and other food crops.
The acreage to peanuts in the northern
part of the state will probably bo normal,
while in central and southeast sections
the indications are for a good increase, with
a probable decrease in south and south
west Georgia. Indications are that a nor
mal acreage will be planted in water
melons in all sections except middle south
Georgia, which shows a slight increase.
Weather conditions have not been favorable
to this crop and poor stands are reported.
The usual acreage will probably be planted
to cantaloupes.
Indications still show a heavy increase
i;t sweet potatoes over last year. There
will probably be a small increase in the
acreage planted to tobacco, which is now
being transplanted in the southern part of
the state.
Indications are that a great increase in
acreage will be planted to velvet beans
this year.
Generally horses and mules are In fair
condition, but in some sections feed is run
ning short and conditions are not so good.
Cows are looking very well. The few re
cent warm days have brought the grass out
and pastures are in fairly good shape.
Gn account of scarcity of labor, meet
every county in the state is using more
modern machinery in the way of tractors,
riding and walking cultivators, harrows,
corn planters, cotton choppers, also cotton
dusters.
Cholera and mange have been reported
from twenty two counties, covering the state
with the exception of the third and fourth
districts.
Indications are that there will ba nu'ra
forage crops giown than last year, con
sisting of pea vines, velvet betns, millet
and natural glasses.
General < m ulalnt of the scarcity of iabo
and continued rai nsprevailed throughout
the state. Work is from three 0 six weeks
late.
