Soap is cheaper than dirt, for dirt is the forerunner of disease
germs, and disease germs usually cost us much in health as well -ns
money.
When it comes to soap we have so many different varieties and
makes that it is useless to enumerate them. Tasts vary in soaps,
as well as in many other articles, so it is up to us to carry all of the
best, especially those that are nationally advertised.
When you want anything in the line of soap come and see us, we
have just what y° u want—and if we havn’t got it we’ll get it for
you.

The cottoh crop is the '6\
cal money crop for the farmer, and
when we for any cause fail to make
cotton we will find ourselves with
out money. I do not believe in rais
ing cotton to the exclusion of other
crops, but let our cotton crop be our
surplus crop, and as such, raise ull
the cotton we can. Not by planting
too many acres, but with heavy ferti-
tilization and with fast and inten
sive cultivation, produce a bale ot
more to the acre. This can be done
much more satisfactorily and cheap
er than having too much planted and
making a bale to every two or three
acres. Besides you can fight the
boll weevil much more successfully.
There are several ways in which
the weevil can be successfully
fought, based upon the experience
of those who have succeeded in mak
ing cotton in spite of the weevil. They
all agree that it isabsolutely neces
sary to prepare the land well. Fer
tilize heavily and cultivate fast. Plow
often and late. Do not stop plowing
because the time of year has come
when you have always stopped, but
plow until the bolls are out of the
way of the weevil. Tie a brush or
something to your plow and knock
the weevil off the stalk of cotton so
you can cover him with the plow
Pick up all squares and burn them
as fast as they fall. When the size
of your crop will justify it buy a
machine and use poison. In fact, do
everything to push the crop to ma
turity, killing every weevil as fast
as he comes in any way you

Dust at night or early In tfie
ing when the dew is on the cotton.
The atmospheric conditions are much
better at this time for success.
Use an average of about 6
pounds of calcium arsenate per acre
Tt will require more when the cotton
is large, and less when the eotton is
small.
A hand gun is very satisfactory
for a small acreage and for dusting
infested spots. A Two-row or Mule-
back duster is good for a larger acre
age and still better for a larger
acreage is the Three-row Trnnction
Duster. The Board has already sen*
out a list of npproved machines. If
you have not received one, you can
get this list by writing to the Stale
Board of Entomology, Atlanta. Ga
If you will dust carefully and
properly, applying it as directed,
you will have success. Do it right
