GRAspING At The SHADOW

No man-especially If he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all Is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of a mayor; is not the employment OF
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment Of a postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it Is not, as a rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants 10 cast the ballC it is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now l lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform Of the suffragette. It
Is, as a rule, the woman who despises
her E:o1e, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parar'"
and Gmashes windows.

Nearly every farmer who has grown
MANY varieties of cotton has at one
time or another suffered serious losses
from the fungus boil rot known as
anthracnose, A~nthracnose is WIDE
spread and very destructive. 1t some
times destroys all the bolls on a stalk
and frequently destroys half the bolls
in a field. 1t attacks the seedlings
after they have come up and in TINS
stage frequently destroys the stand
of cotton. 1t attacks hollis when they
have begun to develop and usually ap-
pears on bolls that are from two-thirds
10 t~hree-fourths grown as small brown
or pink spots. Where such spots &C.

and lint of the inside Ire usually found
discolored and rotten. The disease en-
ters the seed of slightly diseased bolls
and when such seed are planted the
following spring a~nthracnose devel'

to make our seed selections and to
plan your rotation with a view to get
