Larry Semon, playing the star

ture length, which shows Wednes

strong and fine love interest and
a- happy climax.

i GREEN STALKS
it Now is the time to destroy
green cotton stalks for the pur
pose of preserving the plant food
that the second growth is taking
from the soil; to prevent the
punctured squares where grubs
have been hatching out and to
take the feed away from the wee
vils before cold weather comes
and they go into hibernation,” is
the advice of County Agent W. T.
Bennett to the farmers of Spald-
1 ing and adjoining counties.
Communications were sent out
today to all sections of the coun
ty by Mr. Bennett.
Land in Good Condition.
"The land is in good condition
now to rip the stalks up and 'that
will serve in killing^ the plants
and also leave land in a better
condition for the winter ' than if
they were not ripped up,” con
tinued the county agent.
“An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure,” he de
clared, “and we will have less to
do next spring if we do part of
it now.
a If you believe your field is not
heavily infested,” he says, “picket
100 of the average size squares
and count those that are punc
tured. If you will do this and
get your neighbor to do likewise,
it will be a great saving and one
of the ways of increasing our cot
ton production per acre.*
