Tho "crop spoiler" Is ubiquitous now. Ho will como to you with an old hoo shaped like a worn out spoon, with one or two ehaps to help, and for fifty cents an acre he will give you a bad stand of cotton and u good stand of grass.

He will go into you4 oat field and out one or two lands and then stop and whot up awhile with a rock about an Inch Ion*. About two o'clock ho wants water. Ho will not requlro you to have It brought for him, but prefers to go to the sprlnir liluaaelf, and the further off the better. If there aro three or tour springs on tho plantation, he will hunt for tho one tho gieatest distance oft. When ho comes In to dinner, he will loll around an hour or so, and when ready to go again, will have to stop and grind his blade au hour or so.
