METHOD OF USING LINENS
Housewives Have Different Ideas, But
Both of These Are Decd-
edy Good.

What is yorr plan for using your
linens? There are two ways. One is
to select a certain proportion of the
articles and give them constant use,
leaving the others untouched until the
frst lot wears out, thus rendering it
sure that you will always have some
perfect articles ON hand. When the
first supply begins to show signs Of
bard usage new ones can be taken into
service.
The other plan is to use your linens
evenly, keeping them all in service,
and employing them in rotation. In
order to do this with the least trouble
you may either put the fresh linen
which comes from the wash at the bot
tom of the pile or you may each week
take the articles you need from the
,owermost layer, placing the clean
pieces on the top. This insures even
wear for the whole stock If you take
your towels, for instance, from the
bottom of the heap, you are sure to get
those which were not last used, and
each towel has its share of SERVICE

PUTS A CRNMP IN
THE BOIL WEEVL
YAzoo COUNTY PLANTER DIS.
COVERS PEST ERADiCA-
TioN METHOD.

Yazoo City, June 9.-Two years ago
last fall G. M. Manor, merchant and
planter of Anding, Miss, in Yazoo
county, discovered what he believed
10 be an effective method of dispos-
ing of the boil weevil that had proved
so disastrous to the cotton crop. 1t
was mixture composed principally
of coal oil, tar and moth balls with
which a cloth was saturated and at
tached to the singletree of the pillow,
which was dragged over the cotton,
causing the weevil to fall to the
ground, where they were plowed I'M
der and destroyed
The formula was published and the
mixture was used effectively in many
sections of the boil weevil district
Mr.. Manor used it very effectively ON
his own plantation during the season
of 1913, and made splendid crop, and
followed the same method again last
season, getting even better results
than the year previous nctwithstand-
ing the heavy rains all through Au-
gust last year.
Following are some of the results
of tenants ON Mr.. Manor's place last
year:
ST Davis made 10 bales of cotton OIL
% acres.
Jesse Spiars made 80 bales on about
40 acres of land.
William Chambers made 8 bales
and Calvin Chambers made Z bales on
the same land that produced about
the same amount of cotton the year
before.
On a tract of land planted in cot
ton in 1913, where no mixture was
used, from which six bales were rails
ed, Mr.. Manor raised 16 bales last
year, having treated the cotton with
his mixture, according to his regular
method.
To sum up his experience with the
Manor mixture: In 1913 by the use of
the mixture, Mr.. Manor made AZ bales,
as against less than half that amount
the year before, where no remedy was
used. In 1914 by a continuation Of
the use of the mixture, he raised So
bales on the same ground that yield
ed At the year before, although the
continued rains in August last year
injured the crop very much.
While making a successful cotton
crop, Mr. Manor did not neglect the
other crops on his place, and raised
enough corn to run the place besides
having a surplus of two car loads to
sell.
