DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Dispatches Indicate Mercantile Activ-
ity Continues undated.

Dispatches to Dun's Review indicate
that except in some sections where
temperatures remain toe high for a
full distribution of seasonable goods,
expansion in mercantile activity con-
tinues undated.
Aside from unsettlement at cotton
mills because Of the high price of the
raw material, the industrial situation
is especially bright, particularly in
iron and steel.
Numerous recorders for footwear, dry
goods, millinery, clothing hats and
mems furnishings are being received
and future contracts increase in vol
ume. Manufacturing plants operate at
full capacity while collections are very
satisfactory.

FIGHT COTTON PEST
FARMERS ARE URGED TO BURN
COTTON STALKS.
State Crop Pest Commission Issues
Bulletin lnstructing Planters
How to Clean Fields.

Baton Rouge.-MOre attention is
being paid this year by the state
authorities to get the farmers to cut
down and burn their cotton stalks
this fall before the middle Of Octo-
Der, and the following bulletin is be-
ing sent out by the state crop pest
commission to the farmers, along
with a description Of F-shaped
wooden cutter, which the commission
recommends for use in getting rid OF
the Weeyil by burning the stalks:
The cutter should be so adjusted
that 1t will cut off the cotton stalks
at the surface of the earth, or just
below. The depth to which the
blades enter the earth is regulated
by raising or lowering the chain by
which the single-tree is attached 10
the front Of the machine. If the
single-tree is attached to the tOpmost
hole In the cleyis attachment the
blades will run deep, and vice versa.
The rudders should be set down far
enough to prevent the machine skid
ding Or jumping sideways. 1t is OF
the utmost importance that the
blades be kept very sharp. TO this
end the operator should carry good
| file and file the edges three or four
times a day-oftener, if need be.
where there is no fence surround
ing the cotton field it is best to hitch
! the two horses or mules tandem, one
ahead of the other, as this permits
! both of them 10 walk in the middle
and pull steadily. With the horses
tandem, however, it is difficult 10 cut
all the stalks at the end Of the rows
| if a fence is near, and in such fields
/ it is sometimes necessary to hitch
the horses side by side. If for any
| reason the machine does not sever
! every cotton plant completely 1t is
well TO hive a good hand follow tn
machine with a sharp cane knife and
| cut off every missed or partly sew
cred plant at the surface Of the
| ground. 1t is extremely important
that not a vestige Of green cotton be
left uncut in the field or at its edges.

The invitations were issued on
brown wrapping paper sealed with red
wax and the time was saturday after
noon at three sharp" The guests
were told to wear tramping costumes
and each man TO bring a bright new
penny. OF course. all this excited
curiosity, There were just eight cOu-
pies and the hostess saw that each
couple was COngenially mated. It was
a lovely suburban place with winding
streets, hills and daIes; just the place
for this party.
The men compared watches and
the hostess explained that they were
to walk for one hour, all making the
start together, but at the very first
corner each man was to toss his pen.
ny TO decide the direction he and his
partner were to take. Heads meant
to go to the right, tails" to the left.
At every corner, the penny was to de-
eide the direction. Instructions were
given to write three.minute descrip-
! ton Of the walk. The first couple to
arrive at the expiration Of the hour
was to have reward, and every min
| ute overtime was to be paid for in
pennies at the rate Of one a minute.

arrived and very amusing stories re-

The hostess used small tables, seat

being warm, the repast was served on
the porch, which was made a perfect
