six months old attains height Of
seven feet, and bears small crop the
first season. The trees can be kept
strong and of convenient size by only
a small amount Of trimming each year.
Each tree Is claimed to yield from 800

claimed that 20 Of the bolls will make

Is now believed that a variety Of cot

Queensland to the growers who may
SECURE land in the northern sections OF
these states for raising cotton.
The second variety, Of cotton dis
played at that exhibition Is not at
tracing so much attention, but this,is
perhaps because less has been given
out about its qualities and the ease
with which 1t may or may not be cul-
tivated. 1t Is called the Caravonica II,

PROTECTION FROM HAIL.
Mutual Insurance That Is Safe
and Economical.
PREMIUMS NOT TO EXCEED
FOUR PER CENT OF POLICY.

T HAVE the pleasure of announcing
i to the farmers Of York county that
I have just completed arrangements
with the FARMERS STATE MUTU-
AL HAIL INSURANCE COMPANY
OF SOUTH CAROLINA. whereby I
can offer safe and reliable insurance
against damage by hail at reasona-
BILE premium rate. The plan In brief
Is like this:
1. You pay 81 membership fee cash
down, and give you policy protect
ing all or a part Of your crop In any
amount you might desire, not exceed
ing $40 an acre on cotton.
2. In case Of damage by hall, we
proceed at once to adjust the loss on
a mutual basis. You select one man,
I select another, these two select a
third and whatever these three says
the loss amounts to within the limits
Of your policy, you get.
8. Except the membership fee
down you are not asked for any cash
money, We take your note, payable
next fall for the premium, and the
amount you will be required to pay
then will only be your proportion Of
the aggregate loss and expenses.
$40 an acre. That will give you pro-
lection on that field to the amount Of
$500. II a hail storm wipes out half { Z
the field, we will pay you $400.
We guarantee that the cost Of your
premium next fall will not exceed $32,
and we calculate that 1t will be much
less, because we are not going to take
from you one cent more than enough
to pay actual expenses.
The Farmers State Mutual Hail In
suranee Company Is Incorporated un.
der the laws of South Carolina, and
Is managed by men Of high moral and
financial standing.
I am prepared to give full informa-
ton either by correspondence or In
person, and will take pleasure in Wis
iting by appointment any neighbor-
hood in which my presence may be
desired. If you are interested. talk the
matter over with your neighbors and
send for me.
