More Cotton Ginned Than at
Any Time In Eight Years
According to Reports.
Washington, Nov. 9.—The
ginning of cotton continues ac-
tive despite the low price sout-
hern farmers are receving and
the depression in the industry
\ caused by the war. During
the period from October 18 to
November 1, according to the
government report, the ginning
amounted to 2,207,114 bales
making an aggregate of only
142,210 bales less than the rec-
ord production of 1911.
In Arkansas, Florida, Louis-
iana and Oklahoma, the gin-
nings to November 1 exceeded
those for any past eight years.
The famous German war-
ship, the Emden. was driven
ashore in the Bay of Bengal
by an Australian crusier, and
burned to the water's edge.
It is claimed that this was one
of the most spectacular sea-
lights of the present war.

Episode.
Admission 5 and 10c.
A comparison of the value of the
average acre of alfalfa with the aver-
age acre or corn brings some interest-
ing figures to light. An enthusiastic
alfalfa raiser claims that one acre of
alfalfa is worth two and a half acres
of com. This looks like a rather large
estimate but a little work with a pad
and pencil shows that the enthusiast
has not overdrawn the comparison to
any great extent.
Forty bushels of corn to the acre is
a rather generous estimate, and an
average price of CO cents per bushel
is good. Figuring it this way the crop
will be worth $'-'4. (living the stalks
a valuation of $1 we can say that
the entire product of the acre of corn
amounted to 5-3. An ordinary acre of
alfalfn in an ordinary season should
produce three and a half tons of good
hay at the least, and a good average
i price would be $16.50 per ton. Thus
' the alfalfa crop will be worth $5<.50.
I The alfalfa will be already planted for
the next year, and the crop taken off
1 will leave the soil in a better condi-
; tion than it found it. The crop will
have been produced at about one-third
the labor cost of the corn, and will
return to the soil much more manu-
rial value than the corn if both are fed
on the farm. The corn will have ta-
ken from the fertility of the soil and
the loss will eventually have to be
ma<le up by growing alfalfa or some
other legume. Placing a valuation of
two and one-half times as much on
alfalfa as corn does not seem to be
j far wrong.

Leaves Old Home and Starts
New Colony.
(By KUAN' 'IS JAKGKR.)
Bees Increase by swarming, or di-
i viding one large colony of bees into
1 I wo. The old queen with about half
of the bees leaves the old home and
starts a new colony somewhere else,
Don't fail to read the story,
the "Million Dollar Mystery*'
. he young queen will take charge of
the old home as soon as she hatches.
' Long before swarming-time bees be-
gin to make preparations for it. First
they raise a large number of drones
or male bees, from which some day
the young queen may choose her mate
When later the colony increases in
strength the queen lays from eight to
twenty eggs in especially prepared
wax cells called queen cells.
The egg laid In a queen cell, being
a common worker egg. will hatch Into
a larva which the bees will feed abun-
dantly on "royal Jelly." This special
food and the large cell will make the
egg develop a queen. The ninth day
after the egg is laid, the bees cover
ihe wormllke larva which hatches
from It, with a porous cap. The queen
cell at this time is not unlike a pea-
nut In appearance. As soon us the
first queen cell is capped over, a sign
Is given and the old queen with her
workers leaves the hive.
After circling 111 the air for a while
the swarm settles upon some tree or
shrub and sends out scouts to find a
new home for them, and the old queen
never again sees her old home or her
children, and even if starving to death
she will not go back to the old house
for one drop of honey.
Feed and Care Count Much.
It Is wrong to expect the cow to
yield a large profit simply liecause she
Is well bred. She must have feed and
care or the breeding will amount to

Phosphate Produce Excellent
Results, Used Together.
All the grains, when sent to mar-
ket, carry away from the farm plant
food taken from the soli. The same is
irue of milk, poultry and poultry prod-
ucts, cattle, sheep and swine. There
is a steady and ceaseless outward cur-
rent of the elements of fertility. Kv- ,
ery load or hay, vegetables and fruits
means a loss of ammonia, phosphoric
acid and potash.
In trying to replace fertility lost by
the never-ceasing sale of products, the I
farmer uses barnyard manure. ThlB 1
material contains less of the three
elements of plant food above men-
tioned than Ihe crops extract from
the soil It is evident, therefore, that,
sooner or luti r, a complete commer-
cial fertilizer, furnishing ammonia,
phosphoric acid and potash must be
bought In order to make good these
losses.
This Is why commercial phosphates
came into existence
Ilarnyard manure and a good phos-
phate produce excellent rfsuiis when
used together.
A typical artificial manuic or phos-
phate for grain may be said to con-
tain 2 per cent of ammonia, s pi r
cent of available phosphoric add and
2 to 5 per cent of potash.
