Reduction of Acreage.
Advantages of Reduction.

The advantages to come from the de- creased acreage of cotton are twofold. In the first place, it facilitates intensive cultural methods, and intensive methods increase the production per acre. It is more profitable, of course, to cultivate land that will make bale of cotton per acre than land that will produce only a third of bale per acre. which is about the average of cotton production in the south. It is obvious that the squares containing the boil weevil can be gathered off of ten acres more quickly and at less cost than off of 20 acres. The

His feet had left the floor and he
was swinging in the air before his
finger pressed the trigger.
There was muffled report.
The two men fell in heap on the

Carefully avoiding the fast forming

With an oath, Terrill tried to rise and
