COTTON ACREAGE.
Estimate of Cotton In the Ground and Its Con-
dition as Compared with Last Year.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Financial Chroni-
Gle has issued an annual pamphlet of the cotton
acreage in the United States, and its conclusions
are:
l. That the last crop proved very profitable,
and producers were therefore left in a stronger
condition financially than ever before.
2. During the planting season quotations
given for the next crop have ruled at figures
which insure wide margin of profit to the pro-
ducer and moreover, the outlook for consump-
ton next year has been decidedly favorable.
g.. In some of the flooded districts OF the South
west, quite considerable section. it was too
late to plant corn and, in consequence, cotton
was put in.
1t calculates that the acreage is 20, So, 1920
acres, against 20, 3J5 49, an increase OF 26I per
cent. The largest increase is per cent, in
Georgia and Mississippi per cent. in Alabama
and Texas, and per cent. in South Carolina
and Lou isiana.

The face of this watch is precisely the same As
that OF the GOLD watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only in the case. The latter is
of Oxidized silver, acid eaten, very neat and
quaint.
The movement ST these watches is identical, it
the quick train, with straight line lever es-
cspemenl with direct acting hand set that
permits accurate setting, and will not allow ths
hands to move out of position while setting. In
the sweep second movement the
the second hand is direct from the move
ment train, insuring perfect motion, while the
dial train and hands are run by friction pinion

THE CUT WORM.
A Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed

with the Spirit of Deviltry.
The cut worm, we need not say, is a
destructive pest. There are several
species of them, and they feed not only
upon corn, but upon grasses and nearly
all our cereal crops They receive their
name from their habit of cutting off the
plant on which they feed. If, however,
they would only cut what they eat we
might bear with them. But seemingly
possessed of real spirit of deviltry,
they cut off plant after plant apparently
for the fun of the thing. They are not
an imported insect They have been
here from the first knowledge that white
men had of the continent. The birds
serve us a good purpose in devOuring
the cut worm. Plow the land in early
fall, and give the birds chance. 1t is
probable that whatever benefit comes
from glowing in the fall in the direction
of destroying the cut worm, is the re-
suit Of giving the birds IA chance at
them, for it is said that the unprotected
larvae will stand temperature of thirty
degrees below zero. Hence there is not
much hope of freezing them to death.
One writer advises that they be de-
stroyed by digging them out by hand.
Pretty tedious and difficult work, some
will say. Well, this writer says not.
He declares that it is by no means SO
tedious procedure as would be thought
at first, as by passing along the corn
field early in the morning the cut stalk
will reveal the whereabouts of the night
marauder, which, by digging around the
stub, may soon be found and crushed.
As this plan implies the loss of at least
q single stalk to "a larva it would be very
we'll in planting to practice the advice
of the poet: 1.-TWO for the blackbird,
two for the crow; two for the cut worm,
and four to grow" This advice will be
all the more pertinent if the corn is to
be planted after late spring -plowed
greensward. This writer further says
that if our farmers will heed the above,
and give the go-by to all those quack
remedies which obtain annually an I'M
merited place in our periodicals, such as
salt, plaster, etc. Though all fertilizers
which promote rapid growth are always
to be commended as aids in the work of
insect destruction), this cut-worm evil
will soon assume less Importance. The
Rural, however, does not agree with him
in his denunciation of salt. We believe
salt to be q good thing.-Western Rural.

Hogs and Wheat.

A Minnesota man says: l can make
more money raising hogs at three cents
a pound than raising wheat yielding
thirty bushels per acre. An acre of
clover will support eight hogs, each of
which will gain one hundred pounds in
a season, making an income of twenty
four dollars an acre. l save expense for
seed, seeding and threshing, and at the
present price of grain my hog crop comes
out far ahead of my neighbours wheat or
barley, even in a favorable season for
grain. When we consider that for sew
.eral years hogs have brought from five
to six cents per pound and grain has
proved d failure it is easy to gee why
some farmers have prospered an. others
