LIFE SPENT UNDER BIG TENT

There is no circus of the present
regime that has catered to the amuse-
ment going people of the United
States much longer than that OF the
Sparks Three Ring Circus which
comes to Dillon, on Monday, October
10th. 1t will be the 34th annual tour
or this aggregation which has steadily
grown from small two car affair, to
the magnitude ef the three ring class
and this year finds 1t more complete
rin extraordinary features than ever
before.
Probably one of the shows strong
est features in Miss Flora Bedini re-
puted to be the most daring and ac-
complished rider in this, OF any other
country. There's a reason-Miss Be-
DIM comes OF family Of noted riders.
In fact her family were all riders of
repute even before the Sparks Cir
Gus was in existence. When but a lit
tic girl she was brought to this coun-
try by her father who at that time
was one of the featured riders with
Ringing Brothers.
The Sparks Circus is coming 10

there was no comparison. In nearly
every instance the thick cotton had
three times as many blooms as the
wide spaced cotton. That settled it.
The man who came to scott caved In.
Here was indubitable proof that
throughout long weary years he had
been cutting down his crop by thin
ming It out. In response to his aues-
tion. the directors told him that for
several years the thick cotton had
yielded more than double the wide
spread crop, and that now there was
not the least doubt that through all
these years the farmer had been max
ing terrible mistake in spacing his
cotton 30 widely. Thick cotton kept
the maturity.
And I speak with the utmost con-
fidence. gentlemen" said the direc-
tor. when I say to you that IL you
will plant Express cotton in rows
three and half feet wide; and leave
1t thick like this cotton you see here
you can beat the boil weevil."
The director then explained that
after experimentation covering sew
eral years and embracing $50 varie-
ties OF cotton, the Express $50" is
the best long staple yet proven out
for the Delta or rich bottom land.
II what Director Walker says is
true-and according to the dispatch
es to the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal. he proved his case by plots of
thick planted cotton and the thfnrv
planted. widespread in order to fight
Doll weevil as is thought the proper
thfng now, farmers have been pursu-
ing the wrong tactics in fighting the
weevil. His idea is to plant a quick
growing. quick fruiting cotton and
plant 1t thick. so that there will not
ns enough 'weevils to puncture all
the squares. And 1t rather looks as
though there might be something to
MS argument. at least, It seems those
pioants up in in the Delta have taken
the argument and demonstration at
par value

to them. It was. simply. that by
planting cotton very thickly the boil
weevil Is outdone and q handsome
yield per acre obtained, despite heavy
infestation. The dispatch about the
meeting contained the following:
And then came the thick-spaced
cotton and there was no doubt, judg-
Ing from their actions. that this was
the star attraction, the loadstone
which made these planters brave the
long ride through the rain. This cot
ton was chopped out so as to stand
two stalks to the hill, IL inches apart.
This would be equivalent to one
stalk every six inches, or 1882
stalks to the acre. II it averaged five
bolls to the stalk, then assuming so
bolls to the pound. the yield would be
2,224 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. Several of the plats, on ordinary
sandy land, unfertilized land, averag-
cd that many bolls, and that, too, in
fields alive with boil weevils.

Simple? Yes, it is simple, but it
has taken over 100 years to discover
the secret, the amazingly simple fact
that the greatest factor in growing
cotton over which the farmer has
control. the greatest crop producer
yet discovered is thick spaced cotton.
