Many intelligent farmers are aware

In each cotton growing community
there are usually come farmers who
believe that cotton should be left

tendency in recent years has been to-

Washington, June 27.-The need Of
shortening the growing season of cot
ton has been recognized as the best
means for securing protection against
injury from the boil weevil, and the
u. 8. department Of agriculture has
been recommending a system of cotton
culture which aims to cecure the pro-

limited by drOuth or by short seasons

titled "A New System of Cotton Gull
ture and Its Application" has been is-
fued to give the details to those who
may profit by it.
The danger OF injury from the boil
weevil is greatest under conditions
that favor the luxuriant growth of the
young plants and induce the formation
OF large numbers of vegetative
branches. which produce no bollF. The
suppression of these branches avoids
injurious crowding of the plants and
ALSO makes II possible to leave more
plants in the rowe than is now GUS

RIO GRANDE VALLEY
Excursion From M a d n to
Texas, Tuesday, Feb. 3

There is no country in the United
States that is being as much talked
of and as favorably mentioned as the
Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
1t has beeh said by many who . have
Travelled over the world that this Val
ley, consisting of about 500, 900 acres,
Is one of the richest on the globe.
The soil is from twenty to forty
feet deep, all made land from the
deposits of the Rio Grande river in
ages past.
In this county they have twelve
months growing season where every
| month is a harvest. The Valley iuns
| up the river from the mouth for about
| sixty miles. and it is generally conced
| ed that no district in the United States
! affords more perfect opportunity fol-
| irrigation. Being In a semi arid dis
trict it has a southern climate without
swamps, lagocns and marshes, and,
| therefore, free from fevers and pester-
ing insects such as are found in the
country along the upper portion of the
Gulf where the rainfall is excessive.
The Valley being tributary to the Gull
of Mexico. they get therefrom the
cool gulf breezes which give a climate
that is almost ideal. Many people
living in this valley come from thu
state of California and they say it il
far more pleasant and healthful thar
