Fall Crop Irish Potatoes
 At this time of the year a lot of people are asking questions about planting for a fall crop of potatoes There is no difficulty about succeed ing when you once get them up but there is considerable trouble in sc curing suitable seed There is native southern grown variety called Lookout Mountain. that is produced in the fall, and such seed keeps un- til June and July, when the proper time arrives to plant. This variety is the most suitable but there is never an adequate supply obtainable and the price, of course, is high. Old potatoes of other sorts kept in cold storage and often sold for Lookout Mountain, succeed only now and then as most of the time they rot after planting. It is best to rely on new seed produced this spring and there is a way to get them up. Select well matured stock. free from disease or bruises and they should be well cured Cut up just like you would old potatoes. Bed these cuttings out in a sand bed. the eye upward, leav- ing a space of one inch between, cover about an inch with sand and Keep wet. Some few cuttings will rot but most of them will begin to sprout in 10 to 12 days and may then be taken up and planted in the regular way. It will not do to plant whole potatoes.

ieIiase, but only puncture and suck the Juices. Any poison dust spray does reduce them. A liquid spray of teaspoonful nicotine sulphate to the gallon of strong soapy water docs much good. It Is necessary to re- peat any treatment often to be at all effective.
 Q. I have my cucumber hills two feet apart and a gardener told me they are too close. Would you ad wise to thin out? Mrs. S., East Lake.
 A. T would pull up every other hill because two feet Is too close and you will have trouble in controlling insects where thick.
 Q. My sweet peas are dying off. Could anything be done for them to keep them in bloom2 Mrs. NJ, Route l.
 A. It is probably too late to dc anything for them. They are doubt less infested with some disease or insect, Working them often and ap- plying water when needed does tend to prolong the blooming period You could spray with teaspoonfuI of nieo- tine sulphate to a gallon of soap suds. This will destroy most in- sects that bother.
 Q. 1 set out some rhubarb roots in the early spring and have had lovely rhubarb until now, when the plants seem to be dying away. What could be the trouble and advise me what to do, as l don't want to loose them? Mrs. T., Montgomery.
 A. Nothing can be done Rhubarb will rarely live in this climate through summer.

COTTON MARKET
 STRENGTH Lowest Prices Made at 0pell- ing Session-Big Gain
 Durinq Week
Ky Associated Presa

New Orleans June 1l.--Pron0uneeu strength was. shown by cotton last week lowest prices being made on the opening session, when the trad ing months were sent 34 to oz points under the close of the preced- ing wek. while the highest prices were made on the closing session when the list stood 179 to POP points higher than the finals of the preced- ing week. The net results on the close were gains of Ill to s19S potnts July traded as low as 20.05c. as high as 2252c and closed at 22.4Sc. As the market advanced in the later sessions of the week 1t constantly broke into new high ground for the season. In the spot department prices gained 175 points on middling in the net results. middling closing at 22.25c, which compared with l1.SSc as the closing price year ago.
 Continued unfavorable weather over a good part of the week and a steady flow of boil weevil com plaints were the outstanding bullish features of the week. Cloudy, wet and cool weather was reported over large areas and complaints that 1t was retarding cultivation of the crop resulted, while such conditions in creased the fear of extensive weevil QepreQd dllOnS d iittle ihtSi SAh'
 Weevfis Active
 As it was. many of the earlier dis tricts in the belt claimed. in mes sages to brokerage houses here, that the weevils already were attacking the young plant and were puncturing sqnares about as fast as they formed.
 In the latter part of the week the increasing strength of the statistical situation and highly favorable re- ports from mill and cotton goods centers had their effect and helped to send prices to new high levels better demand for cotton goods was reported, with more new bus mess in sight. and telegrams from New England to brokers here claimed that many mills closed for months on account of strikes, were starting up again. Mill takings for the week were larger than expected. 210,000 bales against 1S3,000 the same week last year and 164,000 two years ago. Because of the large takings the visible supply of American cotton lost 79,034 bales during the week and was reduced to 2,7SS,293 bales against 4,297.105 a year ago at this time and 3,606,S64 two years ago. Predictions were made that the vis- ible supply of American cotton at the end of the old cotton year, July 2i, would not be larger than 2,225.- n0n ba1eS

Destroying Diseased Plants

When some of your garden vege table or other plants are abandoned on account of disease or insects, they ought to be gotten together and ut terly destroyed by soaking in kero- sene oil and burned. If your snap beans have been ruined by the bean hug, you ought to sprinkle with kero sene oil which generally kills all bugs or eggs. but to be doubly sure, it is good idea to burn. Then you can plant more and won't have to contend with the race just destroyed. Dead squash vines, tomato and po tato ought always to be burned to kill the borers that they contain in large quantities. If you don't do this, you simply have the same race to contend with in any subsequent crop, to follow this year or next. Whenever you remove a diseased or dead branch from any plant. don't throw it away to perpetuate the race of the disease or insects that caused the trouble.
 A strict observance of these rules would greatly decrease our insect troubles. Keep this fact before you; that to succeed in growing anything you must use all possible preven> tive measures in controlling plant enemies.
