LAND FOR SMALL GRAIN.
Thorough Preparation and Judicious Fertillzins Essential to Con.
 tinued Good Results.

On Virginia soil. which had an abun- dance of plant food, our grandfathers made fine wheat crops with little prep aration and no commercial fertilizer. About 1850 they began to learn. as the soil was growing thinner. that pea vines and cottonseed increased the yield of wheat. Now that we have very little fresh land. the small grain crop will be very light unless there is thor. ough preparation and judicious ferti- liZins.
 For small grain the sub-soil should be well broken and fine seed bed prepared by narrowing. At least two or three inches of the clay should be broken and mixed with the top soil That prepartion prevents winter kill ing and carries the water down when excessive rains fall. It brings the pot ash and phosphoric acid locked up ir the clay in contact with the sun. air and frost. and by degrees readers i available.

BABY COVERED WITH SORES.
Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Un- less Hands Were Tied-"Would
 Have Died But for Cuticura."

My little son, when about a year and half old, began to have sores come out on his face. 1 had a physi- clan treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms. then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse At the end of about year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Oint- ment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy. and l can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

after dark. and are not attracted by a light. Lights have been placed in the middle of a boil weevil field and not a single weevil would ever come to them. They do their feeding and de- posting Of eggs in the daytime.
 When the squares begin 10 form on the cotton the female weeYil begins to deposit eggs. An average of one egg Is placed in a square. X puncture is made in the square. the egg inserted. and afterward sealed up by the fem ale with a small amount of secretion.
 The eggs of the weeyls are white and approximately one-thirteenth of an inch in length by one-ffth Of an inch in diameter. During the month of June. about four days is required for the egg to hatch. and during July and August. two and a half or three days. the time depending upon the temperature.
 Intense Farming as Offset.
 In the meantime the Louisiana crop pest commission has solved the sue cessful growing of a cotton crop in the boil weevil section. If the rem edy for the weeyil has not been found when the weeyil reaches Mississippi and Alabama, the planters will at least have the benefit of the long se- ries of experiment made by the crop pest commission of Louisiana and by the United States government. which have shown how to grow cotton with the weevil to contend with.
 The advent of the pest is not now looked upon as plague. It has been robbed of it's terrors by what is known as the cultural method.7 The cul- tural method simply means the selec- ton of an early-ripening cotton to be- gin with; the use of the right kind of fertilizer, thorough preparation of the soil and intensive cultivation of the soil, which will hasten the ma turity of the crop.
 That, in spite of the weevil. cotton can be raised by this method, has been advocated by the commission in western Louisiana the past two years, where the weevils are the thickest. There. where farmers have adopted the cultural method, in spite of the insect were raised last year crops Of cotton above the average ever made before the weevil came
 This intense cultivation must be followed up by the destruction of the cotton stalks in the early fall. The weevil goes into its Information with the first cold weather, and if it retires for the winter well fed it stands a much better chance of surviving until the following spring.

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food Coffee because ordinary coffee dis agred with her and her husband. She writes:
 lily husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time.
 T had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so 1 could not attend to my housework-both of us using cof- fee all the time, and realizing 1t was harmful.
 .One morning the grocer,s wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. 1 took it home rather dubious about what my husband would say-he was fond of coffee.
 But l took coffee right of the table, and we haven't used cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. My stomach trouble went away in two weeks after l began Pos tum. My children love it and it does them good, which can't be said oi coffee.
 "A lady visited us who was always half sick. l told her Id make her a cup of Postum. She said it was taste less stuff, but she watched me make it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 min utes. and when done she said it was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavor and food quality" Name giyer by Postum Go. Battle Creek, Mich.

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

Tn the opinion of one who has trav- eled much and observed closely, the most truly and Eightfully contented people in the United States today are the small landowners in what is known as the Upper White River Coun- try. anywhere from Newport, Ark. 10 Carthage Mo. They are coatented be- cause their surroundings are ideal and, until recently, the great. uneasy, dis quieting world. with is artificial needs and inadequate cnmpensations. has been to them but little more tangible than q dream. Here. still existent, and by reason of their very rarity at this day and time more deiectable than in the past, are the conditions which have ever appealed with ire sistible force to the independent-spir tied Anglo.SaSon. Every man is the supreme ruler of his own little prin- eipality: acknowledging no master save the law-and possibly his fem mine helpmeet; cringing to no em- ployer; asking no fayors from the world, save those that his neighbors freely extend and expect as freely in return. He lives in a latitude where the extremes of heat or cold are never known, and at an altitude that insures perfect health. The richest bounty of Nature has been showered upon him with unsparing hand, but it Is a question whether he more than dimly realizes the fact, He accepts as a mat ter of course the fertile soil which produces in abundance every cultiv- able growth common to the north temperate zone. the surrounding for ests of valuable woods and the under. lying stratas of precious minerals, the springs and streams of translucent purity on every hand. the wealth of fish and game at his very door, such as less favored mortals annually travel hundreds of miles to find. He is con tented. but small credit is his for that, for how could he we'll be otherwise than content? It is sad that such idealistie conditions may not con tinue. but it Is written that the pres ent possessors of this favored land must soon give place to others more appreciative of it's ineomparable fea- lures. A railroad has recently cut it's way through the best of this region and the unaccustomed rustic of bank notes and ehink of coin will eventually tempt the hill-dweller to part with his birthright. So it has always been in the worlds history-the good things that are ours without price invariably pass from our hands before We come to understand their value. The White River country will shortly be discoy- cred anew by class of immigrants better capable of judging it's possibil
 ities-the men who seek modest homes where the Hay of the land'' will effectually prevent erowding by too close neighbors. where their cat. tie can fatten on free range, where the wealth of forest and mine awaits development by intelligent workers, and where the game and fish offer en. joyable recreation to all who have leisure and inclination for sport.

FARMER AMI PLANTER
THINKS HE HAS THE REMEDY.
A South Caroiinsn Has a Cure for
 the Cotton Evil"

For many years cotton farmers have been producing money-making cotton crops. but in placing the cotton upen the market all others in the cot ton business have become rich, while the southern cotton producers. as a rule. have remained poor
 There Is but one cause for this. and here It is: Most any common clod- hopper can produce a good crop of cotton, but fl takes a different kind of work To place this cotton on the market so as 10 retain the profits in the hands Of the producers. where il justly belongs.
 Most any common cotton farmer can, single-handed, independently and alone produce a profitable crop of cot ton, but 1t takes the combined efforts of many thousand cotton producers to keep the old crowd of cotton spccula- tors from reaping all the profits.
 These spectators have applied a code Of business rules and methods or system in handling your cotton crops that producers have failed to do for themselves, These men have supplied the cotton warehouses and the business organizations for the pur- pose of distributing your cotton among manufacturers, and have, as might be expected. reaped their profits in money while the producers of cotton have stood aloof from concert of ac- ton and took their profits out in grum bling and cursing the spectators.
 The Remedy.
 There is but one remedy for this evil, and that is the cotton producers must supply the facilities for han ding their own crops, until the cot. ton is placed into the hands Of con sumers at reasonable profit to the producers-or the cotton farmer will remain in his present hazardous posi- ton.
 Cotton farmers, you might organize and put your cotton in bulk, and then place your best men in charge of your business or the speeulator will con tinue to do this thing for you, You cotton growers must build your own warehouses to protect your business, or the same old crowd will continue 10 do this for you, and continue to levy a tariff on this job to suit their idea about this work and not to suit your ideal
 Some farmers claim that they ap- prove of the warehouse plans, but they cant raise the money for the stock. We'll now. 1 deny this. In many cases this is not true. We know good and well that If some would try they could get mp this stock just AS we'll as they get up other things that are not so important.
 Finally. we wish to say to all ye calamity how1ers and fault.finders that you can not build warehouses with your tongues; it takes the cash, And another thing, too. that if you will not try to help yourselves when the way is open for you to do it. do for the sake of common good of the country, and respect for yourselves. stop abusing others for not helping you, when you will not try to helr yourselves. Put up the stuff or hush mp and go way back and sit down and behave yourselves like good mod ern slaves should do.-J. c. Stribling, Anderson County, g. c.

THE BOIL WEEVID.
Mississippi River No Barrier, and It
 Will Sweep the Country East.

The migratory movement of the boil weeYil. which Is sweeping this pest across the cotton lands of Louisiana towards Mississippi. will continue un- til cold weather runs the pest into it's winter quarters. Next year it Will continue its progress toward the east.
 The Mississippi river, which some planters of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia have hoped would stand as a stop the flight of the pest On the contrary, it may slightly accelerate it's progress. Investigation has shown that the weevil has at times flown over bodies of water as much as b miles in width, Gnd the Mississippi river is. at one point where the wee wills will cross, over mile in width.
 Into the state of Mississippi this year at the close of the season, five years to cross the state of Mississippi. and another five to cover the cotton fields of Alabama and get into the state of Georgia, is the calculation that the entomologists make on the progress of the weevil after it gets across the Mississippi river this fall It's getting into Georgia within ten years is of course based upon the be- lief the weevil will travel eastward through Mississippi and Alabama as rapidly as it has through Louisiana.
