why TYLER COLLEGE GRADUATES DRAW
LARGE SALARIES.

1he graduates of the Tyler Commercial
College, Tyler, Texas, draw the largest
salaries of any business college graduates
in the state. The reason is plain. This
school gives the most thorough, complete
and extensive courses of stenography.
business training, telegraphy and business
administration and finance to be found
anywhere. With our advantages of the
famous Byrne systems of Book keeping
and shorthand we reduce the time re-
qulred for completing a course from two
to four months over what is required in
other schools.
III you are acquainted with the average
business college graduate you know they
90 out and work i'm offices as helpers, or
where the work is light, at most any
price to get start. This is not so with
the graduates of the. Tyler Commercial
College. Our thorough, practical courses
give the student the training and exper-
fence that enables him to go into and
hold the better class of positions vacated
by experienced help, and thereby draw
good salary from the very first. The
advanced salary to say nothing of the
saving in time and board that our stud
ents draw over the salaries received by
graduates OF other schools would make
1t cheaper for the student To attend our
school and pay full rate of tuition than
to attend another school with tuition free
1t is positive fact that we cannot sup !
ply the demand for our graduates of
bookkeeping and shorthand or telegraphy
Write for our guaranty in our catalog-
read the endorsements from former stud
ents; note the excellent salaries they state
they are receiving. No other school will
back their advertising with such guar
anty. If you can't enroll with us now.
write us why. Our advice has helped
thousands TO accomplish their aim. Write

THE COTTON LEAF WORM.

The Cotton Leaf Worm is agair
infesting certain fields in Madison
parish. This insect is a tropical in.
sect that attempts to migrate north
ward each year. However, on ac-
count of certain climatic conditions
and the work of its parasitic enc
mics it only succeeds in invading
! the cotton region at irregular inter
walls, usually invading the cotton
fields for three or four years consec-
utively and then disappearing In
some cases the appearance of the
Cotton Leaf Worm during years of
overflow by the Mississippi River
has led some Of our planters to ex-
pect them only during years of high
water This supposition is due, no
doubt, 10 the appearance of an en-
tirely different insect, the Fall Army
Worm, which frequently but not
necessarily follows overflow.
The Cotton Leaf Worm has been
reported in the cotton fields of Texas
since early June, but owing to dry
weather conditions has made but
very little progress east and north
ward, thus causing only "a very
sparse infestation in the eastern
parishes of Louisiana. Although
some of the planters that already
have this insect may feel more or
less alarmed at their increasing num-
bers, it is advised that no effort be
made to poison this insect.
The cotton boil weevil is now
making one of its annual migratiOns,
and very little if any cotton will be
made from now on until the end of
the season. Therefore all planters
will be greatly benefited by having
their fields thoroughly defoliated,
as it not only reduces the number
of adult boil weevils that will sue
cessfully survive the winter to at
tack next years cotton crop, but
also allows the matured cotton bolls
to open during early fall, and at
same time prevents great loss from
wet weather or boil rot.
1t is further advised that planters
not having this insect in their cot
ton fields try to borrow a consider
able number of their neighbors',
not that the leaf worms will not at
lack their cotton, but to insure a
thorough and uniform defoliation.
In order to successfully introduce
his insect from one field to another
he planters are advised not to at
empt to scatter the insects over the
ield in a miscellaneous manner, but
o concentrate all work on a small
lrea. One of the best ways to in
reduce the insect is to gather large :
number, say a peck, of the webbed
Up or chrysalis stage of the leaf
worm and place these chrysalids in
