RULES FOR COTTON RAISING.

THE Carroll County Times is tell
ing its readers how to raise cot
ton under boil weevil conditions, and
its advice is going the rounds of the
state press. Here are the rules
which contain some clever satire:
/. Prepare your land in Octo-
Der by blowing it up with dyna-
mite.
2. Lay it off in rows ~ feet
apart, and plant your cotton seed
in December.
3. When your cotton comes IN
thln 1t to one stalk in a hill % feet
apart.
4. Spray each stalk twice day
with Hoyt's German cologne.
D. Cover your cotton with mos
quito netting when it is two weeks
old-this netting to be stretched
over poultry wire.
6, Spread 'tanglefoot" be-
tween all cotton rows and replace
it every day.
q. Burn off all the nearby
woods, and cut down the dead trees
and burn them.
8. Dust the following mixture
one your cotton twice day: Ep-
som salts, calomel, cream of wheat
and the white of an egg.
8. Have two hired hands for
every acre in cultivation. Fur
nish them with BARRIERS tweezers
to be used in pinching the heads
off boil weevils which show up.
10. Mortgage your farm and
buy nitrate of soda and spread it
plentfully around the roots of your
cotton.
IL. If any of the hollis should
get punetured have the punctures
vulcani2ed. Any good automobile
tire man can do this you you.
IL. Begin picking your cotton
IN February and try to have it all
ginned and sold by March Is. This
will enable you to go to work and
grow corn, peas, potatoes and hogs
for home consumption. This kind
of consumption does not need the
services CT a doctor.
IL. Pay your preacher. Trade
for cash. Settle all your old debts
and live happy ever afterwards.
