COTTON YIELD FACTORS
Results of the 1950 five-acre cot
ton contest in Georgia show that the
yields were in direct proportion to
the amount of fertilizers used, the
number of applications of poison to
control boll weevils, and the num
ber of plants per acre.
HOTBED CONSTRUCTION
Since most crops require frequent
moving of hotbeds as a sanitary pre
caution against disease, it is more
economical to use wood in construct
ing the beds. For construction of
wood, it is preferable to use boards
two inches in thickness.

'T'HEY were sitting on a bench in
the park, the man and the wom
an, and the sun, shining through the
pattern of leaves and branches
above them, formed a network of
light and shadows almost like some
gossamer fairy lace.
The woman was about thirty-three
: or four, blonde with dimples, and
a wide, good humored mouth. The
man, who was about the same age,
dark with good features and graying
hair, leaned towards her.
"Do you remember, Jean, the first time
we kissed?” he asked tenderly.
The girl laughed a little and there
was a faint haze back of her eyes.
“How could I forget,” she said. “We
were so young . . . arid shy! I
didn’t know what I would say if you
asked me . . . and I was on pins
and needles for fear you wouldn’t.
They were good days, George. Hap
py days.”
George reached over and patted
her hand. “They were,” he said.
“They were won
derful days and
I was so much
in love with you.
... It spoiled my
appetite! To me

you were the most beautiful thing
ever come down to earth.” He
laughed, his voice deep and reso
nant. “And you’re still pretty nice!”
They were silent for a moment, each
thinking the thoughts that these
memories brought up. Finally the
man laughed again. “Do you re

The man, lost in thought, gazed
out over the green expanse of the

“Well, goodby, Jean,” he said.
park. Far off he could see tall
buildings rising out of a sea of bil
lowy green, but he wasn’t seeing
any of that. Instead he was seeing
a tall, old fashioned building in a
small town a long way from the city.
There was a blare of music com
ing from the building . . . dance
music, a number popular at the
time. He saw couples getting out
of cars and some arriving on foot.
Inside, the huge door of what was
the gymnasium swelled and heaved
with couples packed close together.
He remembered the laughter and
the music and something came into
his throat and he wanted to cry. The
woman sensed it too and she put a
slender, graceful hand on his arm.
“Do you remember that dance.
. . . our graduation dance? I can
see you now. You had on a light
blue evening gown that came all the
way to the -floor and you wore a
corsage of some kind of white flow
ers. The light in your hair made it
look all gold and yoji were the most
beautiful creature ip the world.”
She laughed, entering into the
spirit of the thing. "And Mr. Weeks,
the assistant principal, asked me to
dance and I let him have one dance
. . . after all, he Was the assistant
principal.” ■ '
«‘^Nf) after the dance,” he went
on. “The rest of the crowd
went down to eat, but you and I
went to the little lunch counter
around the corner and had some
coffee and afterwards we walked
home. It was exactly three blocks
away. . . . I think I can remember
every' step . . . every depression in
the sidewalk. And when we got to
your house we stood on the steps a
long time, not saying anything, just
looking at the night . . . and every
thing wAs golden around us.”
-He paused for a moment, staring
straight ahead. “And then you sai<j :
you had to go in . . . and you kissed
me. . . He laughed again and
turned to look at the woman beside
him. “I floated home on a cloud
that night!”
She smiled and they sat th.er.tf-:
silent, for a time, contemplating tfif' 1
memories they had conjured tip out
of the past.
■At last they got up and the mar
