FERRAN 0 Remember new goods at the lowest prices Burn Cotton Stalks For 25 cents an acre. The State Crop Pest Commission is pushing its cotton stalk destruc tion campaign by the publication of another bulletin on this subject, advising the farmers how to make and use a cotton stalk cutter and rake, which reduces to the mini mum the cost of cleaning the fields, and simplifies to a great ex tent the necessary work. The bulletin is by Wilmon Ne well and M. S. Dougherty. They I advise the building of a cotton stalk cutter in the shape of a "V." This cutter is built out of a few I pieces of lumber. Two horses or mules pulling it, the bulletin ad vises, can cut down fifteen acres of cotton a day. After the cutter has windrowed the plant it should be allowed to dry for a few days, I and then raked with a peavine rake and burned. By this method the bulletin says that the cotton land can be cleared and the stalks burn ed for a cost not exceeding 50 ets and As low as 26 cents an acre.

Do we laugh in our sleeve 'Cause the funny hones's there; When we talk through our hat. Does the heat singe our hair? Did a man ever do it When we say. "Chase yourself;" And if he attempted Where begin on himself? When you're tickled to death Do you ever stay dead? How can a man crack a joke On the tongue in his head? And when you voice drops Are your words alaave broken; Or is it always been spoken? Does a fellow leave town 'Cause he's others to make; When he loaebis head Iu't teim fmy of fate? Is a lmean a peach 'Cause the blush is skin deep; Why call man a lobster When he stickb like a leech? When you say man is nutty Can you tell by the bark; When he's out with the owls Don't we call him a lark? When an Irishman's dead Why make him a wake; To make hay in the sun Does that mean you're a rake? Is a mau full of prunes When he's handed a lemon; You say, pretty as - - You mean angels of heaven. You tell Bill to cough up And he starts fjlig down; Does the red on your nose Cause from painting the town? Our language is full Of paradox wealth; When man drinks like a fish He makes a hog of himself. -Sam K. Smith. in Sovereign Visitor. If in need of a Fire Insurance Policy, phone or write to P. A.
