WHY
«
There’s many an acre of land in
Mitchell county that is going to lie
open and exposed to rains for the next
few months and in the process will
lose some of the plant food it now
contains. This same soil would pro¬
tect itself with a beautiful cover if
given a chance, and at the same time
provide some very palatable and nu
tritous food for many an old cow
that is going to get very hungry and
poor before warm weather comes
around again and nature brings forth
her crop. No wonder that we get,
only twelve bushels of corn per acre,
when we should be getting forty, or
that we have a fertilizer bill every
year amounting into hundreds of
thousands of dollars and our soil get¬
ting poorer all the time, in sprite of
our bale-to-the-acre yield in many in¬
stances. We ignore Mother Nature
in her bountiful gifts to us in provid¬
ing so many ways to eut our ferti¬
lizer expense and at the same time
make our soils more fertile and yield
better crops in either wet or dry sea¬
sons. We have years of lean and years
of plenty. During our years of plenty
we rejoice over our success in farm¬
ing and still when our lean v years
come ‘around we take the bellyache,
(excuse the expression) 'and lay the
blame on the government, the Demo¬
crats or Republicans, the speculators,
Wall street, railroads, and nearly ev¬
erybody else except the farmer who
has done the right thing all the way
through, year in and year out. It is
then that we say that a man cannot
make arriving on a farm. Why not
Mr. Farmer, stop and think? No
farmer ever made a decent living on
poor soil, and as long as his soil is
poor he will be poor.
Fertilizer for Small Grains.
If small grains follow corn or cot¬
ton that have been heavily fertilized,
the residue will generally be sufficient
for the needs of the grain crops, with

some nitrogenous carrier to be applied
in the spring.
On poor soils acid phosphate 1 should
be applied in the fall at the time of
seeding at the rate of 150 to 200
per acre. On medium to good
soils, 200 to 400 pounds per acre
should be used. Phosphorus tends to
stimulate root growth and to establish
the plants well in the soil and this
way helps the crop to withstand the
extremes of winter.
Nitrogen aids in the growth of
straw and helps in the filling of the
grain. Abundance of nitrogen in the
fall and winter tends to stimulate the
top growth and increases the tendency
to winterkill. Nitrogen should be ap¬
plied in the late’ winter or early
spring, preferably from February 1st
to 15th in the southern, half of the
state. On poor land it should be ap¬
plied at the rate of 76 t’o 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda or 50 to 100 pounds
of ammonium sulphate per acre. Me¬
dium to good soils should receive 100
to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda or 75
to 150 pounds of ammonium sulphate
per acre.
Potash has not generally been pro¬
fitable on the grain crops except on
the light sandy soils, where 50 to 75
pounds per acre of manure salts may
be applied. If manure is to be con¬
sidered for the grain crops, best re¬
sults will be had if the manure is
applied to the crop immediately pre¬
ceding the grain crop. Manure ap¬
plied to grain crops should be supple¬
mented by acid phosphate at the rate
of 200 to 500 pounds per acre.
USE OF VEGETABLES FROM
WINTER GARDENS.
Cabbage
Boiled Cabbage—Remove the outer
leaves from the cabbage, cut into
halves if small head, into quarters if
large head, and remove the ough stalk.
Allow to soak in cold water about 15
minutes before dropping- into a ves¬
sel of boiling water, to which has
been added 1-3 teaspoon of soda. Cab
bage, in fact all strong flavored vege
tables, such as turnips, onions and
cauliflower should be cooked in a large
amount of water and be cooked un¬
covered. This will prevent the disa
greeable odor during cooking. Cook
about 35 minutes or until tender, the
time varying with the size of cab¬
bage. Remove from the water care¬
fully, drain, season with salt, pepper,
butter, or a white sauce may be pour¬
ed over the cabbage.* Serve while hot.
Cabbage Salad—3 cups chopped
cabbage, 2 large sweet peppers (cut
in narrow strips) 1 cup sugar, 1-2 cup
vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt. Soften 1-2
box of gelatine in 1-2 cup cold water.
Then fill cup with boiling water. Mix
all ingredients and mold in a shallow
pan which has first been wet with cold
water and not dried. This will make
it easy to slip mixture out when it is
set. Make several hours before you
wish to- serve it and keep in a cold
place. Cut in squares and serve on
lettuce leaves with cooked mayonnaise
dressing. ,
LETTUCE.
There are many ways in which let¬
tuce may be served; for different sal-
j ads use the tender leaves to make a
nest for the salad mixture; for gar
| nishing cold mea'WKsheS and for sand¬
wiches, it is very delicious with a lit¬
tle cooked salad dressing, with or
without the addition of nuts.
Lettuce and Bean Sal ad*—An at¬
tractive salad may be made by using
the combination of lettuce from the
winter garden and a can of whole
beans. Canned beans should be re¬
moved immediately from the can when
opened, drained and allowed to stand
about 15 minutes before using. Make
a nesti of the lettuce-leaves, then pile
in a log cabin fashion about 6 or 8
bans on the lettuce and fill center with
chopped nuts and dressing 1 . This
makes a very pretty as well as a
wholesome salad.
OF NELMS
SISTERS IS REVIVED
FROM ATLANTA
ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO.
INNES SEEKS PAROLE.
ATLANTA, Ga.—The mystery of
disappaerance of the two Nelms
ten years ago has been revived
the parole petition of Victor E. In
indicted to the Atlanta federal
for using the mails to de¬
Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis, one
the sisters.
Innes is eligible for pardle as far
time served at the prison and good
are concerned, but the depart¬
of justice has just announced
his petition will be refused.
Fate is dogging Innes’ steps despite
queer twist of the law which
threw out of court the murder pro¬
brought against him ten
ago.
No trace of the Nelms sisters was
found after the evening they
were last seen on the porch of the In¬
home in San Antonio, Texas. The
prosecution claimed that their bodies
were hacked to pieces, ground up in a
sausage mill, and then burned. : A
niass of evidence was collected to
prove this terrible charge. But the
case against Innes failed' because the
corpus deleeti provision of the law
requiring the body of the victim to be
produced is strictly enforced in Tex¬
as.
Convicted in Texas, Convicted
In Georgia.
After the acquittal of Innes he and
his wife were indicted in the Georgia
courts for larceny in connection with
property of Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis.
Both were convicted and Innes was
sentenced- to seven years in prison
and his wife to three years.
After completing this sentence In¬
nes was arrested and sentenced in the
United States court to five years for
misuse oi the mails. His wife con¬
tracted tuberculosis while in the state
prison and now is in Oregon.
The tragedy of the Nelms sisters,
Eloise and Beatrice, daughters of the
late sheriff of Fulton county, began
when Eloise went to Nevada to secure
a quick divorce from her husband.
There she met Innes at one time as¬
sistant district attorney of Nevada.
He was posing as a singlh man, and
Eloise fell in love with him. Later
charges* against him of larceny and
misuse of the mails proved that he
induced her to turn over to him large
sums of money, presumably to invest
in Salt Lake City and in Montana.
After securing her divorce Eloise
Nelms announced to her family in At¬
lanta that she was going to marry In¬
nes and later she went to San Antonio
for this purpose. .She was accompa¬
nied by her sister, Beatrice, who was
suspicious of Innes and wanted a
show down regarding money that had
been turned over to him by Eloise
Innes was then living in a small cot¬
tage on the outskirts of San Antonio
with his wife who posed as his aunt.
No Trace Has Been Found.
Witnesses testified that they saw
Nelms sisters on the train going
New Orleans to San Antonio and
claim to have seen them on
porch of the cottage the night of
arrival. Since that time no '’•ace
them has ever been found.
At the trial of Innes a knife was
with which it was alleged
bodies of the girls were dismem¬
a sausage mill in which it was
the bodies were ground up and
big copper tank with a smoked bot¬
in which it was alleged the bodies
dissolved in acids.
The prosecution suggested as a mo¬
the alleged desire of Tones and
wife to conceal the fact that they
defruaded E16i.se of large sums of
But one necessary thing was
trace of the/bodies of
two girls.
The theory-that the Nelms girls are
alive is held txTthis day by many
people.

TAXI BUSINESS
IS HUGE INDUSTRY
IN ONE YEAR IN FOUR¬
TEEN MID-WESTERN CITIES
IS 32,000,000 DOLLARS.
CHICAGO. — Although the “taxi
has not yet become prominent
among millionaires he is enroute, es-!
corted by a silver flood of $32,000,000
annually in taxi fares paid in 14 mid
western cities.
The taxicabs in Chicago alone have
multiplied in 10 years more than 400
per cent, which is over 16 times the
rate of 10-year increase in the city’s
population from about 900 to 4,800,
and this growth is an index of how the
taxi business has mushroomed almost
throughout the central west.
In . 13 western cities outside Chica¬
go the taxis total appromimately 4,-
500. The taxi fleets qf the other ci¬
ties are: Detroit 881, Cleveland 400,
Columbus 160, Cincinnati 350, India¬
napolis 150, St. Paul 154, Mnneapolis
130, Des Moines 100, Kansas City 474,
Omaha 150, St. Louis 500, Houston
150,Tulsa 68 and Milwaukee 200.
Chicago supports 44 separate com¬
panies, the largest employing 4,000
men, and one of the youngest com¬
panies 1,200. There are enough cabs
to give each of the city’s 3,000,000 in¬
habitants about 12 hours’ ride a year.
The fares average $10.06 for each
inhabitant yearly, enough to pay for a
52-mile ride for each.
Much of the adventure of primitive
pioneering has attended taxi develop¬
ment in the jammed downtown streets
of Chicago. For several years pistol
fighting from moving ears, with a
score of men occasionally engaged
and deliberate ramming of ears.
