To Destroy the BoIlworm.

The use Of arsenical poisons upon
the cotton will be found of value in
proportion~to the severity of bollworm
attack. Paris green is recommended
at the rate of about three pounds per
acre, applied in tile dust form either
pure or diluted with lime or -four. Ap-
plicatiofs by either the bag and pole
method or by geared machinery Is sat
isfactory. The work should be done
when the plants are moist with dew or
after a light shower. Two applica-
tions, when not followed Immediately
by rains. should be sufficient. The first
should be made when the eggs begin to
hatch in numbers. usually between
July 25 and August ). This may be
followed by second in about one
week. If rains follow the applications,
these should be repeated Immediately.

STRAWBERRY PLANT WITH RUNNER.

will be obtained if they are properly
cared for The ground should be mel
low and moist, so the roots from the
buds can enter. explains American Ag
riculturist. Sometimes the runners are
not close to the ground and not enough
moisture reaches the bud to form roots
This can be overcome by placing Il
little earth on the runner near each
bud. These runners form during the
entire growing season. After midsum-
mer they can be taken up and planted.
but usually they are left until the fol-
lowing spring. If one desires large.
vigorous plants much can be gained
by preventing the little plant from
fruiting by cutting off the flowers. If
one can secure plants from genuine
pedigree stock much can be gained.
These plants are true to name and are
larger and generally more vigorous
than plants that have received no spe-
cial treatment.

Water and Salt.

Where pastures are of such char
acter as TO produce ii good quality of
nutritious grass then there should only
be enough animals to keep it properly
fed down. In this way the growth
will be continually fresh and more
nutritious.
There should be plenty Of water in
pastures. and where cows are kept it
should be pure and wholesome; other
wise the quality of the milk might be
unfayorably affected.
All animals should be salted regular
~. With cows it is well to have a
supply where they can get it as want
ed. and then they will eat only as
needed.-F G. II. In American Culti-
yatOr.

Farmers as Business Men.

If farm owners would but adopt sys-
TENS Of bookkeeping, it would add
millions of dollars every year to the
profits OF our farms by eliminating the
growing Of crops that do not pay and
allowing them to be grown by the men
that are so situated as to make a profit
in their production. The farmer is as
much a business man as the citizen
that handles dry goods and groceries.
and he cannot get away from the ne
cessity of using the methods that have
been found to be absolutely necessary
in the carrying onsof every other kind
of commercial enterprise If he would
be largely successful Farmers Re-

Whether the collard is degenerate

In the south Atlantic states the col

almost as the acreage of all the other
vegetables combined, omitting the veg

kets by the large truckers. Collards
are usually drilled like turnips IN the
spring in three feet apart rows. As
the plant grows off they are from time
to time thinned out to Il stand-about
twenty inches in the row-the pulled

For home use the leaves in the gar

Strawberry Plants Form Runners.

Some plants, as the strawberry.
propagate readily from runners. In
most cases this is done without the
aid of man. The old or parent plant
sends out above the ground long slen-
der shoots which will form. roots and
a little plant ut some of the joints. The
little plant receives nourishment from
the parent until the runner decays or
is cut. The strawberry shown in the
accompanying illustration Is a good ex-
ample. Some runners form only one
bud. while others will form several
Although these buds naturally take
root. in many cases far better results

THE FARMERS
Of THE STATE
Union Grows Fast and May
Before Long Become a
Political Factor.
By j, n. Reese.

Tallahassee, Sept. THE investi-
eating commission adjourned Thurs
day night to accept an invitation of
Commissioner Leggett to attend pic
mic at his home town. GreenviIIe, Fri
day The governor and several OF
une state house officers went as the
guests of Commissioner Leggett. and
they were individually given an op-
portunity of speaking to the members
of the Farmers Union and their
friends there assembled. The Farmers
Union is growing in Florida, the state
organization having recently been per-
fected at Tallahassee. There are now
more than 5000 members in FLORIDA,
and the members of the union claim
that there is a possibility of enrolling
10000 members. If this should be
done it is not dI--icult to see how COM
pIetely the farmers could demand, and
get, nearly anything that they chose
to select in Florida Twenty thousand
votes could win almost any election,
and intimidate any candidate if ar
rayed against him.
The movement to organize the farm
Iers of the nation may not prove to
be a success. There are reasons why
the organization might prove to be I'M
wieldly and Understandable, but there
does not appear a good reason why
the farmers of Florida and the imme-
diately surrounding states should not
have a compact and effective organ
ization.

CITY TO BE DRY IN ACCORD
WITH COUNTY SENTIMENT.
BY J. II. Reese.

Tallahassee, Sept. S.-Guy Metcalf.
known as the best political manager
in the state, having achieved success
and notoriety in the Broward-Stockton-
Bars campaign, was in Tallahassee
today. This is the second trip of Mr..
Metcaf to the capital during the past
few days, and there was a rumor that
he was here in conference with R.
Hudson Burr, the conclusion being
that Mr.. Metcalf is to manage the
Burr candidacy for governor. Mr..
.Metcaf parried the question by this
correspondent, and said instead that
Dade county, which is the largest
county in the state, would have a pro-
hibition election at a near date, the
county commissioners having SO or
dered it at their last meeting a day or
two ago.
This election will be of more inter-
est than the usual county prohibition
election. Palm Beach, the millionaire
resort, is located in Dade county. Dur
ing the last session of the legislature,
there was an attempt to have the
county divided, one of the arguments
used by the divisionists being that
the millionaire clubs between much
gambling and drinking did render life
to law abiding inhabitants both
heathenish and unseemly; hence did
they desire to withdraw them from
that part of the county occupied by
Palm Beach. Mr.. Metcaf asserts that
it is the prevalent belief that the
county will vote whiskey out. If the
people are this much in earnest, it
may be difficult for the resorters to
have their rare vintages flow at the
POnciana and Beach Club during the
forthcoming winter months.

DeLeon Assessment.

The county commissioners of DeLeon
that every cottage that can be rented
have just concluded a ten day session
with the result that a net increase Of
$780, 900 has been added to the taxable
values of the county. Not much, it
may be thought as result of such a
long session, but the real work was
to perfect as well as to equaliZe ana
assess values, and the next increase
represents the result of a very careful
investigation of taxable values. The
increase is divided about equally be-
tween real and personal property.
The county tax levy was fixed at 16 IL
mills. there being an increase of one
mill over the levy of last year for the
purpose of collecting fund for the
maintenance of a good road force, the
commissioners being decided upon a
more systematic working of the public
roads A road machine and mules
having been purchased with that end
in view
