COTTON BOIi. ROT.

What about the rotted bolls of cot
ton this fail? There's a reason for
most rotten bolls That reason the
scientific men call cotton anthracnosc
and they recognize it in one of the
most dangerous enemies the cotton
crop has. We can make cotton in
spite Of the boil weevil by selecting
early varieties and Fastening the pro.
duction of mature bolls before the
weevils are sufficiently numerous to
destroy all the younger forms. After
the toll is half grown I. is not usually
injured by the weevl. But that vs.
just the time the anthracnose begins
it's work and what escapes the boil
weevil is easy prey for the rot and
the grower finds nothing to harvest
Thousands of fields in Arkansas have
lately become badly infested with
cotton anthracnose or pink boil rot.
Keeping cotton off the land two years
will rid the field Of the trouble. But
if you expect to put cotton on infested
land next year, you had better not
leave the stalks standing all winter.

Then he shipped before the mast on
a seal hunting expedition to the Jap
anese coast and Behring sea and on
his return to California, worked at
coal shoveling, longshoring and MAX

While doing thirteen hours day
in the jute mill he won the first prize
in a competition of a San Francisco
newspaper with description of a

greatest living actor will he in Tulsa
next week, he is ready to back up his
assertion. The inspiration he received
from Forbes Robertson five or six
years ago. in the days of his great

charm of the play is Forbes Robert

that Robertson was there to transform

not the institutional or creedal kind.
1t is rather the christianity that
makes a sun-k kissed personality and
gives it miracle working power 'u
