And then Mr. Byers, our County Agent, says tho boll weevil will probably spread nil over Anderson Coun ty. lt hus been spi ending over since lt started np in .Mexico, some thirty odd years ago, nnd so far shows no sign whatever of stop ping. The Greenville Nows of September J5th reports tho boll weevil has entered certain townships In Greenville County. When we have wet Julys and Augusts lt will be very damaging to the cotton crop, and se it will pay every fellow to mnko his living nt homo. Besides, it will pay every fnriner to ?ow wheat, to get tho stubble. This stubble puts his land in such lino tlx to make an extra crop tho following year. Three acres to tho plow will do the business. Thoroughly prepare ns early ns you can throe aeres to the plow, get a good seed bcd, and then ns soon after tho first killing frost as you can, sow lu the drill four or five pocks of wheat, to tho nero, fertilize with 400 pounds of our 10-2-2. Sow In tho drill, ns you will get tho seed moro evenly distributed and at a moro uniform depth, nnd lt will stand tho winter botter, and you will get far better results. Besides better results you will get hotter bread than you can get from any Hour you can buy, and your bread will cost you very little. Tho wheat straw will pay for tho fertilizer. There ls a good demand for wheat straw. Follow tho stubble with peas, and pick tho peas. You can't supply tho demand for pons at top pri?es. Follow the peas with rye, cut the rye lu tho spring Just when your stock and cattle need some green l'ocd; follow the rye willi cotton fertilized with OOO pounds of our H-:t-;{ to tho acre, and you cnn inajke (Ivo bales of cotton on the three acres. Tho cotton seed will ordinarily pay for tho fertilizer. That three acres to tho plow will pay you bettor than nny other three ncros you will cultivate. Tho wheat, peas, rye and cotton will cost you so little, mid your crops will he abundant and your bread will bo wholesome. There is very littlo appendicitis with people who make their** own foodstuffs, and then you will be keeping your money lu your own bank account. Sow four or live pecks to tho acre. Tho Good Boolv says If you sow sparingly you will reap sparingly. Wo all like to reap aniuiidant mensure.

It is a good timo to begin planning to NOW your wheat. You cnn make things Ot in bettor when you plan ahead. Any your ls a good year to sow oats, nnd tills ls no exception by nny means. Prepare thoroughly und sow, ns early us you can, three acres to tho plow. Sow in tho drill and fertilizo with 400 pounds of our 10-2-2 to tho acre. Your crop will come on next season just nt tho height of the work season, and your stock will do botter if you food them freely on oats when they aro doing (heir b?rdest work, lt does look like tho mules' needs and com forts and appetites should bo consulted a littlo, seeing that, their work is indispensable in making a crop. Oats aro profitable when you nmko good crops, and you cnn make good crops when you prepare well and early, and fertilize liberally. Sow eight or ten peeks to tho aero in tho drill, follow with peas and ryo and cotton, mid the crops will be cheap mid your lauds will Improve No trouble about, a bumper crop of cotton after that.
