GRASS SHOULD Be

Cotton and Corn May Be
Saved by Prompt Action on
Part of Farmers.

The five leading questions which the
farmers of the tri-state territory are
asking, 10Y that il appears there might
be a oessa ion of rain. w"ra answered
by nr. T.. r. Lloyd, director Of the
Chamber of Commerce farm develop
ment bureau Monday. These questions,
with their answers are:
Where the corn Is wrapped up in
grass about as deep as the corn, and
the corn has grown yellow, is 1t bet
ter to pillow IN the corn and plant new,
or is 1t better to try to redeem the pres
ent stand?
1t is better to blow up the corn and
feplant, The corn cannot he saved un-
less IL is freed OF the grass very quick
ly and thinned out and this cannot be
done with the shortage Of labor general
" prevalent. The corn should be plowtd
over and narrowed Gown ami the new

What kind of corn is best to use for
~replanting?

turity date for these three breeds is
100 days, corr planted late having q
tendency to mature In a shorter period

Is 1t Advisable to plant or replant
cotton at this time? .
1t is too late either to plant or re.
plant cotton with the expectation OF
making even a half crop, Cottot
planted this late rarely does any good
1t Is better to pillow up the cotton and
plant corn and SOY beans. Where there
are 'skips' in the cotton fields, 1t Is
letter to plant corn and cornfield peas
than cotton.
What can be done about cutting
wheat thn fie11r hpinp 90 wet that the

The only thing that can be done Is
to wait until the ground dries out suf'

This is an emergency and IN such cases
there Is no fixed rule for farming
This was Or. Lloyd's general advice
concerning how best to proceed to re
trieve the damage done to the crop
by the excessive rainfall Of May an

"The farmers should get in the field

AMERICAN LIQUOR
WORRIES IRELAND

Dublin, Nov. 26.-The Importation OF
many thousands of gallons of whiskey
from America, as a result of prohibi
ton in the United States. has caused
alarm in the Irish distilling trade
War restrictions have greatly ham
pered the Irish trade. The distillers
were prevented in the 1861 season
from making the usual quantity of
whiskey. Next years they were closed
down altogether, and even in the pres
ent year were only permitted to make
reduced supply. The prices. of
course. went up, and distillery shares
advanced in the Stock Exchanges.
The American whiskey can easily be
sold at a lower price than the Irish
article, and it is being freely taken up
by the Irish retailers. One provincial
bender is said to have paid nearly
100000 in duty on his consignment.
What the distillers are most afraid of
is that the American spirit may be
blended or "faked-up" and sold as
Irish or Highland whiskey.
One interesting fact stated in the
Dublin papers is that at present no
American whiskey is sold in Dublin as
such.
