Took Some Gents Furnishings.

Somebody who was apparently in
need of underwear and furnishings and
had not the where -with-all to pay there
for, broke into B. Elsey's store Sunday
night and helped themselves. Entrance
was obtained through the back door of
the cellar, the glass being broken SO
the bolt could be thrown, which was
bolted after the thief had entered.

on the safe nor any bulky articles
taken. When the visitor was satisfied
he apparently walked out of the back
door after turning out the one light
which is always kept burning at night
over the cash register, leaving no clue
as to his identity.

be the salvation of Texas from the
cotton producers standpoint. He is
using a cotton-checking machine,
which is a combination of the old
time drill and great deal of work ON
his part.
The greatest difficulty in adopting
Mir. Wolcott's method SO far is the
lack of a planter that will do the work
Of dropping the seed exactly at the
required distance, like the corn plant
ers do. This difficulty arises from the
fact that cottonseed are not hard and
smooth like corn; that is, they are not
until the lint is removed from them.
In this connection it may be safely
said that by the time considerable
number of farmers adopt Mr.. VOL
colts method the farming implement
manufacturers will have devised a cot
ton planter that will successfully meet
all the necessary requirements, as past
experience has demonstrated the fact
that whenever crops and conditions
have demanded an implement for a
certain purpose it has usually been
forthcoming. Some time ago it was
stated by the Agricultural Department
at Washington that two of the experts
had devised a scheme for delinting
cottonseed successfully. If this is
true, the making of successful plant
er that will drop the seed at exact
and regular intervals will not be very
difficult if indeed there are not ma
chimes already in use which will do
SO. However this may be, it is quite
certain that if it is found that by
checking the cotton it will make it
possible to raise a good crop despite
the pests that depredate upon it, there
will be found some means of planting
it that way, even if it has to be done
by hand.

Big Grape Returns.

AS showing something of the profits
of grape culture in California, we give
an item taken from the Imperial Stan
dard of California:
D. G. Aplin makes the best report yet
heard from grapes grown in the valley.
One acre of his eight-acre vineyard is
of Cornichons, and he kept track of the
product of this particular acre. From
it there were shipped 395 crates which
were sold in New York at 1910 a crate,
netting Stone Brothers, to whom he had
sold the crop, $l.H.
The gross returns from this acre were
81 ,224.5O, and the returns f. O. b. I'm
perial were $7O3.l5.
There has been a great diversity in
the receipts from grapes sent to the
market this year, as among them were
several varieties which did not stand
shipment; and the growers of the valley
have much to learn regarding the vari-
cites to plant. It is evident, however,
that the Cornichon is all right.

Checking Cotton.

Since cotton was first planted in
this country, it has always been sown
thickly in drills and chopped out to a
stand.
Now comes an experienced cotton
grower of Texas, and asserts that if
it is planted in hills, which can be
cultivated both ways the same as
corn, it is much better method. The
description is taken from the Dallas
News:
w. P. Wolcott, living a few miles
southwest of Dallas, has adopted
plan for the cultivation of cotton
which, Judging by the results achieved
by him, is one of the best for COM
batting insect pests as we'll as Johnson
grass and other undesirable growths
that have yet been tried. To put it
in few words, Mr. Wolcotts plan
is to check the cotton. Instead of
planting in drills, he plants his crop
in checks like many farmers plant
their corn. The advantages claimed
for this method are several, among
them being these: Economy in seed,
since it requires fewer seed for check
ing than for drilling; economy in thin
ming the cotton, since by checking
nearly all the work required in chop
ping is made unnecessary; circu1n-
scribing the operations of the boil
weevil and boll-worm, since it allows
the sun to shine all around the plant,
thus making it too hot for these pests
to thrive, while by permitting the
blowing of the cotton on every side it
gives the farmer a chance to keep
Johnson grass down and of ultimately
destroying it.
It has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that the bollworm and boil
weevi1 are very much less destructive
in their work when the weather is
hot and dry. 1t has been stated as
fact that the weevil will die if it re-
mains in the sun for few minutes
when the weather is extremely hot.
The same is said of the bollworm.
These facts make it evident that Mr..
Wolcott's method has merit in it, and
the most convincing feature of the
work is that he had tested it sufficient
ly to know whereof he speaks. AS an
evidence of the merit of this method,
Mr.. Wolcott says that last year he
made on 100 acres 70 bales, and he
had the boll-weevils by the thousands,
and the boll-worms also. So that he
believes he has demonstrated beyond
doubt that the checking system is the
safest and best. He recently went
into patch Of cotton on his place
which he had planted with the old
time drill in order to make expert
ments and found the ground covered
with punctured squares, and after rid
ing mile through his checked cotton
he found only two squares which had
been blighted. He has taken special
pains to see that some of the checked
and some of the drilled cotton are
planted in proximity in order to give
the system fair test, and he declares
that last year, while his neighbors'
crops were infested with boll-weevil,
he lost nothing by their operations I'M
til the growth of the top crop became
heavy, when they attacked his crop
and did some damage. The theory he
goes on is that the heat from the sun
is all around the plant, and that the
weevil is a parasite of dampness and
darkness. Mr.. WOlcott feels confident
when he states that this system will

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 15.--Colln,

Colin was packing 1877 pounds and
giving away anywhere from two 10

race. on wen, Miller waited, and
when Jim Gaffney finally caught his
stride sent the colt after him, and
they raced heads apart TO the stretch.
Colin then went TO the front, and
after that there was no. doubt as to
what the result would be. The Keene
horse was going easy enough at the
end TO win by two lengths.
He was held at the prohlbltlve odds
OF / TO 8, and very few people played
him. Jim Gaffney was we'll supported
