Change in Cotton Growing.

Flat cultivation of cotton, as intro
duced by the Arkansas experiment sta
, ton, is finding favor with the lint
growers of that state over the old
method of hill tlllage, the advantage
being in the saving of labor and econ
omy of seed, and. it is declared, better
yield.
Under old practice, says Southwest
Magazine, the soil was thrown up In
furrow and the seed sown continuously
in a drill. Later the plants were thin

entire surface of the cotton row and
cutting away nineteen of every twenty
stalks.
Flat cultivation consists Of thorough
ly preparing the seed bed and planting
the cotton in checks eighteen to twenty
four inches apart in a drill, TO enable
cultivation in both directions, a method
that will naturally lessen the work of
the chopper and save greater part of
the seed.

Remarkable Success

The great house OF Sherman, Clay 4
Co., pioneer Pacific coast piano dealers
purchased the entire system Of stores o
the Allen & Gilbert Ramaker company
July |, 1906. The first year has Just
closed and it has been year of marked
success. The people of the Northwest
have become wearied by the numerous,
almost continual Special flake, y
and spectacular piano sales, in which
| they were supposed to be able TO buy a
! $1,000 90 piano for $z3S00, etc.
Sherman, Clay & Company came into
this territory without blare OF trum-
pets, inaugurated no opening or special
sale, but simply stated that they we're
ready for business. Every piano and
organ was marked in plain figures and
thus a child could buy any instrument
as cheaply and safely az could a state
senator, or any one, anywhere, could
order by mail and secure the same
price and terms as he could by visiting
the store. ~
The results have shown that the
people appreciate such policy. The
business came-sales increased in num-
ber-orders came from far and near by
letter, telephone and telegraph. The
business grew by leaps and bounds,
We understand that even Sherman,
Clay & Company were surprised at the
rapid development OF trade.
Doubtless the great success was large
ly due to the fact that Sherman, Clay
& Company's reputation had preceded
them, for they have been selling pianos
al the conrner of Kearney and Suffer
streets, San Francisco, for over thirty
Eve years and every Californian will
vouch for the integrity Of the house and
-he reliability Of their pianos. Such
pianos as the world celebrated Stein
way, Knabe, Everett, Packard, and
iuch player pianos as the Angelus, A.
3. Chase, and themany other reliable
makes which they sell would mark any
oncern as "The House Of Quality" c
This is the name by. which their stores
re recognized everywhere. They have t
perfect chain Of stores from Canada
o Mexico. ,j
II you want a piano, write them for
dialogue and prices. They will send n
