6athhouse Attendants Explanation
About as Satisfactory as That
Made by Some Trusts.

Senator Vardaman, at a luncheon
said of a certain trusts defense:
The defense is worse than the Of

Beach
"A young lady at Bath Beach had
occasion to complain about one of the
bathhouse attendants, and old fellow
who in the hurry of cleaning up would
sometimes burst in upon her in her
bathhouse without knocking
One morning after this had hap
pened for the sixth or seventh time
the young lady took the old fellow to
task
See here, Peters, she said there's
no lock on my bathhouse, as you
know, and | must insist on your
knocking before you enter. II hasn't
happened yet, but it might very well
happen, that you'd come in on me

Peters, with chuckle, FASTENED TO

COCA COLA HABIT, a GHOST.

We have all heard OF ghosts, but none
of us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends:" You can
hear about them but you might search
for them until dooms day and you
would never find one Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands OF
drug habit cases. including opium, NOR
phine. cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen case where the
use OF Coca.Cola has so fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute a
habit in the true sense OF the word. Al
though millions Of glasses of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Coia
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see il advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and relreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink II
when they can get II and contentedly
do without it when they cant get IT,
IL YOU had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug, if you had ever observed the
agony he suffers. you would never
again be so unfair as TO mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-torming" drugs.-Adv

CHECK ROW CORN

On all farms where the fields are of

seed is substantially of the same size
and shape the machine will drop pre-
cisely the same number Of kernels to
the hill. II on the other hand. the
grain from the tips and butts of the
ears is included the number of kernels
in the hill will vary considerable.
The distance between the hills and
the number of plants to the hill will
vary more or less according to the va
riety that is planted and the climate
of the locality in which the field is
being planted.
Under ordinary conditions / believe
in planting four kernels to the Hill
and planting the hills about three
feet six inches apart both ways. AS
a general rule nothing is gained by
planting the field until the cold spring
rains are over None but good seed
that possesses a strong terminating
power should be planted.

Our experience with bind-weeds is
that spring blowing and persistent use
Of the cultivator only serve to spread
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bind-wed
lourishes are also suitable for alfalfa.
We find that between the cuttings of
alfalfa the bind-weed has no opportu-
nifty to seed, and in a few years
plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa
field
The bind-weed, when once establish
ed in a field. is there to stay or put
up a strenuous fight. and no halfway
methods will accomplish anything in
the way Of getting rid of this pest.
When blowing or cultivating through
small spots of morning glory it pays
to clean the pillow or cultivator of all
roots to prevent the spreading of the
growth of new plants.
The use of the disk harrows and
disk cultivators will help to prevent
the spread of this pest.

All farmers know that a four-year

therefore, he is better able to stand a

ERADICATION OF
MORNING GL0RIES
Cutting Tops Does Little Good
and PIoW Serves to Spread
the Roots.

On our lowland farms we find four
varieties of morning glories. The
field morning glory resembles the cult
tivated kind, and unlike the bind-weed,
grows only from the seed, so the only
remedy is to prevent the seeding.
The field bind-weed is a morning
glory with small flowers and vine-like
stems that ertwine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye These roots being
spread by the pillow or cultivator, form
new plants, until in short time the
corn field is completely covered.
They start so early in the spring
that before the corn is large enough
to cultivate the rows are so hidden
that they must be cleaned out with a
hoe before cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed, pee vine, morning glory has
large fuSnel-shaped flowers and a
more slender vine than the other va
rieties.
In the central states we find still
another on the prolific pests. This is
the wild gweet-potato or man-of-the-
earth vine. Its roots resemble in shape
the cultivated sweet potato, but are
much longer and penetrate far below
tn blowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good, and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number of vines, as all pieces of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet po-
tato
The pillow only serves as means OF
spreading and transplanting the pieces
of roots which grow new plants. Gov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed, which, for
tunately. is not so common as the 9TH
er varieties of the morning glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots,
and are a great help in clearing up
badly infested ground. Flowing dur
ing July and August prevents the
plants from growing again in the same
season. and will make them much less
plentiful next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
fully well, and few will be left in the
fall if they are turned on before the
bind-weeds go to seed.
