COTTON SEED WAR.
Georgia Mills Attempt to Drive Florida
Mills Out Of Market.

Triton, Ga.-Tifton is just now the
center of cotton seed war between
the oil mill men Of Florida and Geor
gia.
For some time the Florida mills
have been coming into Georgia terri
tory buying seed. This year the eGor
gia mills decided they needed these
seed themselves and fierce competi
tive bidding is the result.
Cotton seed OF the local market are
bringing nearly twice as much as they
did last year. A year ago they were
selling readily at 80 cents per hun
bred, while this year they are bring
ing easily $1.65. Part of this advance
is due to the advance in price OF cot
ton seed oil, but the larger portion
is caused by competitive bidding.
While it lasts the farmer is getting
the benefit of the competition.

1T Is now q well-known fact that

tapeworms, to me. In many cases these
people did not know the nature OF the
parasite. and were consequently ex-
tremely nervous until explained the

many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.
II take this opportunity of explain
ing what these creatures are, and what
I have learned about them in the past.
"Tapeworms are much more COM

Contrary to general belief, the appe-
