TRANsPLANTING GOOD START
All Along the Line Tobacco Plants
are Being Set Out

Ten days ago tobacco transplanting
commenced in very limited way. The
latter part of last week quite a number
of fields had spots of plants. Activity
is quite general at this writing and
doubtless some will finish with the
close of the present week. While this
advanced movement with some there
are those who have not plowed their lands
for that purpose. II is plenty early
yet, and fields have dried because of no
rainfall for ten days. Plants are max
ing fast and apparently there will be an
abundance of them, which causes the
Edgerton Tobueco Reporter to suggest
that it looks as if growers would be
compelled to get the crop into the fields
at somewhat -as,;er date than usual,
all of which is in favor of results at the
other end of the season-the harvest.
AS is usually the case, cut worms are
said to be working on fields. BY the
timely application of remedies il has
been demonstrated by the department
of agriculture through field agents and
others of the bureau of entomology en-
gagged in the investigation of insects
injurious to crops, that these insects
can readily be controlled, large areas
being successfully treated. The usual
method of control is by the use of
poisoned bats. Take bushel of dry
bran, add one pound of arsenic or Paris
green and mix it thoroughly into
mash with gallons of water, in which
has been stirred half gallon of sor-
ghum or other cheap molasses. After
the mash has stood several hours scat
ter it in Jumps of about the size of
marble over the fields where injury is
beginning to appear and about the
bases of the plants set out. Apply late
in the day SO as to have the poison
about the plants over night, which is
the time when the cut worms are ac-
tive. Apply a second time if necessary.

THE SWELLED HEAD
By walt Mason.

Young Winkler worked for Jabez
Beall, who deals in shoes and linsced
meal. For years he was a valued clerk,
and Jabez warmly praised his work.
And Winkler's friends would often say
ne should be drawing better pay. He
owes his splendid trade to you; oh. what
would poor old Jabez do if you'd de-
eide to flee the coop? 'Twould surely
leave him in the soup" Young Winkler's
head began to swell. so many people
stopped to tell him what a honevbird he
was, and clapped his back with fervent
paws. So Winkler then began to feel
he was a bigger man than Beall, and he
got grouchy, mean and sore, because
he wasn't drawing more. He thought If
he resigned his Job his boss would vail
around and sob and beg him for a while
to stay, and doubtless give him double
pay. And so. in naughty tones he told
old JabeZ that his feet were cold. fMv
services are in demand; good Jobs await
on every hand. You don't, I fear. ap-
Preciate how much I've done to make
YOU great" Thus Wiukler made his
little spiel I'm glad YOU quit" said
Jabez Beall. in other days YOU did
quite well, but since your head began to
swell you made myself and patrons tired.
and / had planned to have YOU fired"
Now Wnkler tTamps around the town
and hunts a job, and is turned down,
and while his worlds a thing of gloom,
old Jabez's trade Is on the boom

DEBTS
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of AT Good Old SfVvash.7

IN EBTS consist of pile Of bills in
the mail box and a collector
around the corner. They are the
money which a man is going to pay next
week, but unfortunately this week al
ways insists on coming in next weeks
place.
Debt Is very unfortunate because it
generally makes two men unhappy-the
man who owes the money and the man
who can't get it. Some debts, however,
only make the former unhappy because
of the blithe and hopeful disposition of
the debtor who declines to add to the
sOlemnity of the occasion by worrying.
Many a man can carry load of many
thousands of dollars of debts without
giving them a thought and will even
cheer up his gloomiest creditors by buy
ing them fine eigars-on tick.
Debt is great misfortune to some
men who shudder when they spend a
nickel for bread because it belongs to
the man who sold them last years beef
steak. To other men debt is only an
annoyance and they speak harshly to the
patient collectors who insist on bother
ing them To still others debt is an
asset. Some men are such financial
geniuses that they can use $500 worth
