ought to be about six inches wider
apart than the cotton usually grows
tall so that the sun may shine on
every boil from the time the bios
som falls until maturity. The
bolls that are protected from the
sun and consequently tender are
much more likely to be punctured
by the weevil.
7. Plant prolific, early matur-
ing, big boil varieties of cotton.
Weevils are unable to multiply
until squares begin to form and as
only small numbers pass through
the winter, they must have con-
siderable time to multiply in suffi.
clent numbers to puncture the
squares as fast as they form,
8. Large boil varieties are bet
ter than the small because of a
thicker ca1yx. The weevil easily
punctures the grown bolls of the
small boil varieties Where the
bolls are exposed to the sun, the
weevil seldom punctures half
grown bolls of the big boil varie-
ties. Cleveland big boil, Triumph,
Rowden, and Cooks Improved
are good varieties to plant.
g. There is no sense in planting
cotton in the winter. The gov
ernment advises the planters to
plant as early as is safe from frost.
The actual date of planting de-
pends upon the locality and to
some extent upon the nature of the
soil.
10. Do not plant on high beds.
Plant on slightly elevated beds.
II. Roll the seed about twenty
four hours before planting time
and plant shallow. Run the har-
row ahead and behind the planter
and the seed will be up in few
days.
II. Run a smoothing harrow di-
agonally across the rows as soon
as the little cotton is two or three
inches tall; thin to a stand at the
proper time; and give shallow cul-
tlvation every week, and always
after every rain in order to break
up the crust and preserve a dust
mulch. The essential thing in cot
ton cultivation is to keep the
ground free from grass and weeds
and cover with dust mulch.
I3. Children under ten are un-
able to do farm work and may be
used to good advantage 10 pick the
early emerging weevils off the lit
tie cotton and to pick up the pune
tured squares that fall for at least
one month after blooming COM
mences. The results obtained
will be more than satisfactory,
Id. Attach. brush to the culti-
vator in such way as to strike the
cotton plants and knock off the
punctured squares. The brush al
SO knocks off many grown weevils
into the hot dust which soon kills
them.

seasons has set some of the enthus'

mitted scarcity of high-class tennis
players In this city. II Is To change
conditions so that in time Detroit may
rank with other cities in this sport
that the present campaign is being

means certainty, but the incident

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 30
Here is an old play we used TO work
when I was a kid, playing on the lots,
but it appears TO be good enough for
major leaguers. Even il IL isn't new,
It may pile up a few-runs this season.
The play is possible only when a
man is on third base and the man az
bat is hit by a pitched ball or walked.
II is a simplification of the double
steal.
The man who goes to first when hit
by a pitched ball or by virtue OF four
balls, naturally stops when he reaches
the base, while the pitcher goes
through the preliminary to pitching
to the next batter.
In this case, however, the base-run-

Killing MUST PAY
HIS OWN FINE
Chicago Believes, However, Murphy
Will Dig Up the $500 Indirectly
King Must Take Old Salary.

CHICAGO, March 30.-If the re-
ports printed here that the National
Commission has decided that Catcher
John Killing must pay 800 fine and
play for at least one year with the
Chicago Cubs at his 1908 salary OF
$4,000 are true. King Is satisfied.
That 500 is lot of coin" he said
in Kansas City today. but / suppose
| am stung. IL things go along all
right | expect TO join the Cubs In
about ten days-maybe."
The finding OF the National Com.
mission will not be made public Of
ticlally until tomorrow but what is
said TO be the text OF Ii is published
here today.
According to this the finding pro-
vides that the Chicago club NAV not
trade. sell or release King for
period Of one year and that neither
the Chicago club nor any club or per
son connected with organized baseball
shall pay Kings fine or reimburse
him for its payment In any way d.
rectly or indirectly.
The verdict is also said 10 call upon
the Chicago club To show cause why
II should not be fined for rendering
Killing new contract after he had
made himself ineligible.
The feeling here Is that in spite OF
the National Commission, Charlie
Murphy will probably lose 500 in the
payment of the catchers fine
Advices from Kansas City say King
Is worried about the clause forcing
him TO accept his old salary. In view
OF the fact that IL was reported tho
Brooklyn club offered NOISY John"
$4,000 a season TO be manager of that
club, his old salary is quite a come
down.
