People say to me, “Why N\ill, you don’t understand, it is an Education, it learns you more ways to say one word.” If you know one way to say a word, what do you need to know any more for? Nobody is going to give you anything for nothing, i don’t care how many ways you ask for it. nation has never been short on words. We might lack ideas sometime but never words.

G. BoyJston. The most important cash crop that is produced in Barnwell County i- cotton. In order t<j> produce cotton successfully and profitably under boll weevil conditions there are a number of important points to remember, and l call this matter tn the attention of the farmers at this time because if we are to produce cotton profitably it : s absolutely necessary for us‘to thor oughly appreciate those things whim are necessary to be done. They are as follows: Thorough preparation, fairly early planting' of a sufficient amount of pure cotton seed (usinK Cleveland Bitf Boll in all cases except where it is necessary to'use Dixie Triumph to control wilt). Fairly early planting will he found to be from the 1st to 12th of April, depending on the par ticular Spring. Intelligent use of fer tilizers is very necessary, the most profitable amount applied will bo found to be from fiOO to 800 pounds of a balanced fertilizer, and afterwards making a side application of nitrate of soda of 75 to 150 pounds, the prop er time to apply being 1 about 10 da vs after, chopping. Be sure to make the strongest, effort to "secure a uniform * V vf—<■ \ and as near perfect stand as possible, because a full crop cannot bo made without a go<Ml stand. We all appre ciate the importance of frequent cul tivation, and this means that cotton should be plowed every week if pos sible, from the beginning until it is no longer of value. Should there be any number of boll weevils coming out early to amount to anything arrangements must be made just before the squares begin to form to malie two applications of cal cium arsenate poison. The light ap plication of dust at that fitwo is more efficient, but- where~ this 1 cannot be properly applied with the labor that a Social and Personal News from Williston JW* • W illiston, April 4.—J.

So the next morning we formed in line and passed in front of Butler.’s Army, only three miles off to our right. We threw out a., strong line of skirmishers, which we call “bankers,” about two bundled yards from the road towards the enemy.
