By doing so you break up winter ho tels for the boll weevil and thereby greatly add to, your chance for mak ing a cotton crop next year. A very effective method if turning under cotton stalks with a two-horse plow is the use of a good heavy chain to bend the stalks over ahead of the plow. Hook one end, of the chain to the double tree and let it come back to the plow point and hook to the other end of the double tree, mak ing the letter U. All those who made mounds round their fruit trees this summe- should remove them now. After you have removed mounds take your knife and scrape around the trunk of the tree where the mound was, thus scraping off all eggs and killing young lorers. Don't forget about getting your wheat seed, as good wheat seed may t scarce, as practically every farm er is expecting to plant some wheat. Your county agent bought some good wheat seed for the farmers this week and will take pleasure in help ing you to get some. If you are counting on getting something out ->f .our hickns have plenty of green crop.for them to eat this fall and winter. Plenty of rape, alfalfa, wheat, oats, rye and clover for your chickens to eat will malke them grow and lay "to -beat the band." Improve your chickens by carrying out the following methods: 1. The producer and non-produ cer are easily' distinguished by a areful. study of the individual birds. 2. Culling should take place from June to October, inclusive. 3. The producer is active, heal and should be kept. - 5. Vigor and condition are indi cations of the heavy producer, which sh'ould have a 'fine head, prominent, full, round eye; lean face; closely fit ted wattles and earlobes and large capacity. 6. The heavy producer has a large, open, and moist vent, free from yellow pigment. The slacker hen has a small, dry, puckered up vent, showing considerable -yellow pigment. 7. The abdominal region of a heavy orAucer will show great depth f body, with pelvic arches well spread, keel straight and extended well to the rear. 8. The abdominal region of a poor producer will show a shallow body, small abdomen and small apacity. 9. Skin that is soft, tihin and pli able to the touch indicatest the good en; while. the skin thit ,is thick, hard and coarse to the touch indi ates the poor hen. 10. The heavy producer will be free from fellow pigmentation, while n the other hand, the~ slacker or non-producer will show excessive pigment.

The o'utside public looked upon the government crop conditiorn re port and the report of ginnings s bullish and* a certain foresh lowing ~f a cotton famine before the year is out. The public buying supported the market and gave it a good rally af ter it had dipped approximately two cents a pound immediately after the reading of the crop report which did not show as havy deterioration as had been expected.
