writes William Wadley in Field and
| Farm. The ground should be well
fortified and then plowed deep. This
| should be done in the fall. The next
spring the ground should be well har-
rowed and worked down very line.
The object of having the ground rich
and in good condition is to make the
plants grow taller and hence produce
more lint. If only the seed is desired
poorer ground can be used.
The seed should be planted after
all danger of frost Is past. It can
either be drilled in or sown broad
cast. The seed should be well covered
with soil. If merely raising the
plants for the seed bushel to the
acre will be sufficient. When the
fiber Is wanted more seed should be
sown, the thicker the crop the finer
the fiber will be. If the ground is
damp enough so that irrigation is not
required no further care is necessary
until the crop is ripe. 1t must how
ever, be surrounded by good fence
to keep all animals out, as the plants
are practically spoiled II broken or
tangled up. When the crop is ripe 1t
should be pulled very carefully and
tied In small bundles-about a good
double handful in each bundle. These
should be thoroughly dried and then
placed in large shock on a canvas.
A band should be tied around this
large shock to hold 1t upright.
Then the heads should be carefully
pounded to loosen the seed Now
take each small bundle and beat the
seed out of it. The seed can be
cleaned by sieve or tanning mill.
Great care must be taken not to break
the stalks. The plants should then be
placed in some clean water and left
for about ten days, or until they are
sufficiently rotted that the lint will
readily leave the stalk. Great care
should be taken to keep the plants
clean during all this process, as the
Wilderness of the fiber depends on
cleanliness. When the stalks are
rotted they should be taken out and
thoroughly dried. after which they
should be placed IN dry room so

Competing Dealer Placed on Payroll

Intimidation is the stock in trade
of the merchant who cannot sell his
wares on their merits. This firm of
craftsmanship has long since been rec
og.nized by all progressive business
men as the best possible advertisement
for the other fellow. In view of the
services rendered us in this respect
we have decided to place our worthy
boosters on our payroll. AS yet we
cannot say the exact nature of the re-
enumeration as the success Of the
present expansion and advertising
test sale must decide this. However,
judging from the interest displayed by
the buying public on the opening
morning of the sale, we cOnfidentially
expect Tidy little bundle of Thirty

papers by eager buyers and at the con-
clusion of this Great Piano event we
will present these to The Laborer

When a prospective purchaser ent-
ers an Eilers establishment there is no
attempt to place the other mans goods
in disrepute. We want buyers to look
