NO WILT AFTER POTATOES.
A Lee County Farmers Remedy Fol
Black Root.

Black Root.
The Southern Ruralist prints the
following from farmer of an adj
joining county:
wish to give my experience with
a small piece of land 1 have been
cultivating
In 1908 planted the land to cot
ton, and it was affected with wilt"
in spots. The yield was considerably
cut off. This year planted part
of the land, including the spots af-
fected by wilt" to Irish potatoes.
l harvested medium crop of pota-
toes. After gathering the potatoes
Late in May planted cotton on
the whole plot. Where Irish pota-
toes had been grown there are few
signs of the wilt" while on the
other part of the land the wilt" is
worse than last year.
From this am of the opinion that
by rotating Irish potatoes and cotton
the wilt" can be wiped out in a
few years. G. KOPRIVA.

COSTLY FOOTWEAR.
Slippers For Which Thousands of
Dollars Were Expended.


Dollars Were Expended.
Among the many surprising things
that have been said and written of
late about the cost of wealthy wom-
ems apparel perhaps the most as
tonishing were made recently by a
! London magazine. The writer said:
"Our grandmothers would be
shocked if they knew the high prices
paid by the modern maid for her
| footwear. In former years a brides
| wedding outfit, including boots, shoes
and slippers, would seldom exceed
1925, but the wealthy girl of today
thinks nothing of spending $500 or
| so for her house slippers alone,
while in few very exceptional cases
the cost of these necessary articles
has even run into four figures. A
west end tradesman told the writer
that slippers are becoming more and
more costly.
San extraordinary order came
from a wealthy South American gen.
tleman not very long ago, who
J wished to present a pair of slippers
4 to a noted prima donna. They had
/ to be ornamented with two charming
/ butterflies crusted with precious
stones. The dainty slippers cost him
nearly $4,000. This price, large as
it seems, has actually been exceeded.
Only this year a countess had made
to order pair of slippers which
were decorated with magnificent
array of rubies, emeralds and dia-
monds, and cost her $22,500.
But the most costly slippers in
the world were made for a we'll
known dowager countess, who ap-
peared in them as Cinderella at a
fancy dress ball year or two ago.
The slippers we're one mass of spark
ling diamonds, and they cost her hus-
band the astounding sum of $50, 900.
OF course they were only used once,
and when the ball was over the jew
els were carefully removed from the
slippers and placed for safety in the
countess jewel case"
