Patricia Bleckley were in¬ jured when they were struck by ar. automobile as they were returning from a visit to a neighbor. The accident occur¬ red Sunday night at 8:15 o'¬ clock.

Mrs. Bleckley were Ed Maxwell, garage owner in East Trenton, was arrested immediately after the accident and charged with manslaugh¬ ter and drunken driving- Fol¬ lowing a preliminary before Justice H. F. Allison, he released on $2,700 bond. Mrs. Bleckley, popular er in the Dade County High. School in Trenton, was report- ed, in fair condition at a late hour today. Ambulances from J. Avery Bryan Co., in Chatter, oogo: answered the call and carried the injured to a al in Chattanooga. Donald was pronounced dead upon ar¬ rival at the Children's Hospital. Farmers Urged To Apply Early For Crop Insurance Farmers in Dade county were urged today not to let the time slip up on them in filing appli¬ cations for cotton crop insur¬ ance. The closing date for ac¬ cepting applications is April 10, or seeding time, whichever is earlier, according to Roy Vv. Moore, chairman of the AAr, county committee. "There's o: double reason for „ farmers to get their application; in early," Mr. Moore explain "One reason is for each fanner individually to have protection na.urai against all unavoidable hazards, which only federal crop insurance can give him. Insurance protection starts when the cotton is planted. "The other reason is much the same, only broader—-to make sure that the county has the required number of growem cooperating in the insuiance program. Before crop insur¬ ance is available in any coun¬ ty, applications must be tnect which cover at least 50 farms, or one-third of the farms grow¬ ing insurable crops. Any land¬ lord, owner, tenant, or share¬ cropper may insure his interest in a crop up to 75 per cent of the average yield.' Applications may be filed ui the county AAA office or - l any insurance agent. BUY VICTORY BONDS!

NUMBER 7 real Cotton Seed For Ggher Yields, Farm nt Adams Urges Urgir j Dade county fanners iO treat their cotton seed before planting season, L. C. Adams, -v.. ay agricultural agent, this ,c a r oimea out that the rainy ,/eather which prevailed dur- tg tlie cotton picking season caused cotton seed to become aue.: with seed borne diseas- > unless cotton seed is treat¬ ed with Cerasan or some other guady ehective material to kill :Cc o seed-borne diseases, . v nds will be poor next spring .na the average yields will be down considerably. D ressing the value of treat- .nc ^ cotton ceed, tho county a- . n xe x orted thai seed ureat- ... n: increased 'Helds and bro't I mcreaeed rearms esumaxed at eightiy more than $6,500,000 to the state's one-variety cotton growers alone during 1945. "When cotton seed is not treated, seed-bome diseases at¬ tack and kill the seed as they bsgin to sprout," Mr. Adams explained. ‘ Germination tests made oi several lots of seed irom the 1945 crop showed 60 per cent germination for un- , i sated seed and germination c 80 per cent or higher when seed fxom the same lot was ,isated with Ceresan." Deiinting will produce almost as large yield increases as mating, the Extension Service ...gen: said, but combining de- n ing end seed treatment will • v - the largest yields. Seed not delinted but treated, pro- uce 160 to 200 pounds more cotton than untreated seed in rperiments. Delinted and mated seed produce 200 to 350 oundc more cotton than unde¬ nted and untreated seed. G ey maximUMA 25TOO0 30,000 yields, plants there • ‘be to :r acre," Mr. Adams said. "To G An his number of plants the otton must be planted in three to three and one-half foot rows, with cotton spaced six to eight Aches in the drill and two jxlants to the hill*" Farmers rarely have more than 80 per cent of a perfect s and when picking begins, he -.ointed out. Securing more nearly perfect stands would in- c ease per acre yields substan¬ tially. which "The kind of weather revails this spring will have [much to do with the increase I ! . . percentage af stands and in vipH per acre," Mr. Adams said. The more favorable the weather at planting time, the more the increase will be from treatments. "Treatment of seed not only makes o: better stand possible, bu. !he treatment increases the health and vigor of the plants, enabling them to produce max¬ imum yields," he continued. "The cost of the treatment is small, and the seed can be reated any time between now and planting time." SERVICE NEWS With the Army Forces, West¬ ern Pacific, Manila—Pfc. Geo- W.
