treatment for tuberculosis started by
the health department on North Broth
81 Island has proved a success, say
the physicians who have watched the
experiments. A hospital tor the treat
ment of the disease was established
on the island, and out Of 127 patients
who entered the institution six months
ago eighty-four have been discharged
as cured and only eleven are under
treatment now. Eleven have died. The
mortality is placed at % per cent,
which Is low average when II is con-
sidered only the worst cases have come
to the island Pure air, sunshine, good
food and absence of worry have been
the principal factors in attaining these
results,

to the conditions of the ground and
the weather) takes place, when the
plant bursts up in, the burr with its
two leaves and a centre bud. The plant
has com menced its growth!
About seven to ten days and later,
after the plant is up, the process of
"chopping cotton" begins, j. e., it is
chopped out with a hoe ten to twelve
inches or over, and leaving say three
to five stalks in q "hilP! in the row ten
to twelve inches apart. About three
to ten days or later, after the chopping
act, the plants are ''dirted," that is the

After the first hoeing, say seven to
ten days more, the second blowing is
given with he scraper.
After the scraper, say in fourteen to
