A Notorious Old Reprobate.

We suppose every tow has its
liar. He is called "Thcy Say" for
the want Of better name. and he
is moro generally quoted than the
best citizen in am town. He deals
with characters and regulations OF
the pure and the good as well as
the evil minded and no ono escapes
his attacks. We have quite recently
chased down some Of his work here
and found that Il report which was
worrying some people had been
started and circulated exclusively
by They Say" 1t is not the first
time we have chased the william to
the ground. We have often freed
him in his lies and discovered that
"Thcy Say" had started some meas
ley lie which hurt some ones feel
ings. Good people quit talking aft
er the rascal. He is a most notorious
old liar and if You can't give any
better authority for anything, YOU
tell than They Say" then don't
tell it at ALL
Now, don't jump 10 the conclu-
sion that we are raising any kicy
about being talked about personally
for we are not. They Say" has
found out long ago that we are hide
bound, scared and hardened to such
an extent that we can laugh at his
attacks ard are not afraid of any OF
his falschoods land we live in hopc@
that he will never discover the

Abilene Is All Right.

Some Of the anti-prohibiti0nists
o. Swcctwatcr sent a man TO Abi-
lcne a few days before the election
for proof that Abilene had gone to
the dcmnition bow vows morally,
ever since prohibition went into eff
feet. so the said cmiSsary proceeded
to the court records and got up
set of figures showing that crimes
had increased in Abilene. and Tav-
lor county about one hundred per
cent since prohibition went into cf-
feet. but he took particular pains
to prevent the truth and say. that
the law went into effect June I,
1902, when as Il matter Of fact 1t
was just year late, or June :. 1908,
when the saloons closed shop. Thus
his statistics covered a year Of sa-
looms reign, and most all the Grim
inal cases on the docket as given by
this great statistirian originated be-
fore the saloons were closed. Had
prohibition gone into effect in 1902,
as stated, the figures would falsify
the facts. for several cases were car
ricd on the docket from term to
term and in this way one case was
counted several times. The figures
were given TO the public day or so
before the prohibition election
through the Swcetwatcr Review,
but pros there knowing the un-
truthfulncss of the data, called up
a responsible man in Abilene by
phone and had him get up a cor
rect statement and send it to them,
showing the great decrease in
crime since the saloons were
closed. This statement was certi-
fed to under oath by the proper au-
thoritics, and, although only sen.
late Friday, seems to have had its
effect in exposing the methods Of
the ants. Judging from the election
returns. This base misrcpresenta-
ton is yet calculated to do great in
jury to Abilene, and Taylor County
News feels that it owes it to its
town people to correct the report.
That the prohibition law is fairly
enforced in Abilene. and that, with
the going of the saloons, has Come

T. A. Bennett, on the Farmers
Institute:
The institute movement is being
carried on by the A. & II College
for the purpose of spreading agri-
cultural information. The experts
from that college are sent forth to
be of direct benefit to the farmers.
The question Of seed is of i'm
rortance to the farmer. and that OF
cotton seed is worthy of especial at
tention. BY selection of early seed
the farmer can maintain an early
cotton without sending annually to
Georgia or Carolinas. The selection
Of strong bolls from strong. early
plants will produce a plant which
will make better start and grow
off better than common seed. They
also produce earlier cotton because
the plants start off better Selected
seed should be planted in sepa-

ton and iirSt-class cultivation. The
crop from this field should be saved

THE KAUF MAN INSTITUTE.
A Business Meeting of Business
Men.

Z. D. Anderson spoke on the Dol!
worm especially, and touched on the
main facts of the methods of COM
batting the boil wccyii. In regard
the boil worm he spoke as follows;
The boil worm feeds on many
plants, and is especially fond OF
corn. Eggs are laid on the silk OF
the ears and the worm that matches
from it is commonly known as the
corn ear worm.
The worm. when full grown. goes
to the ground and burrows down
and there changes to pupa. Later
it energies as a moth which flies
about in the night LAYING eggs.
This insect prefers corn to cotton,
and if corn is planted about in the
cotton field and June corn planted
later to form a feeding ground all
summer, the worms will stay on the
com and not seriously iniurc the
cotton, By watching the corn when
in roasting ears and when worms
are thick. it may be cut and fc ~
stock so as to kill most ~ the
worms.
The worms pass the winter in the
soil of the old corn and cotton fields.
BY blowing in winter the worms arc
turned up and destroyed by wealth
cring.
Early cotton is never injured rs
much as medium cotton. hence the
pl"~ ting of early kinds is earnestly
advised.
Busting with paris green on tho
cotton will destroy very Young
worm, but early cotton. wintel
blowing and trap rows of corn arc
the combination most satisfactory

consider methods of fighting it.
There are two methods, plant
ing early cotton; ,. destroying the
wintering place of the wccyil.
1. Early cotton means carly pre-
paration of soil and good cultiva-
ton. Plant early kinds. such as
Hines. Kings or Excelsior. Plant
III wide rows so as to allow the hot
sun TO bake The wormy squares as
they drop to the ground. Cultivate
as soon as cotton can he seen in
rows and continue cultivation until
bolls open. Cultivate shallow every
ten DAYS. Plant the rows each and
west so as TO get the greatest
amount of sunlight down the mid
dies.
?. Destroy wintcring place by
grazing off the cotton before frost.
If there is not enough cattle to feed
of the cotton. then cut. rake and
pile up every twenty rows Of stalks
and leave a few rows SO as 10 have
only enough left to feed the stock.
Eurn the cut cotton as soon a. dry,
ard if cattle have not eaten all the
green rows left. then cut them off
at the time of burning and throw
in the fire so as TO destroy the wee
Wis on them.
