,ght. They are not only of amazing i
ze and beauty but they have been i
ained'to do some of the most thril. ]
ng acts ever presented to an auience.
Lewis Deed the world's greatit
lion tamer, was born and raised i
i the jungles of equatorial Africa,
id from childhood was accustomed <
> hear the roars of the man-eat- \
ig kings of the forests that prowled
aout his cabin at night. His father
tice captured some lion cubs which <
p trained to aid him in hunting ex. ]
editions. Thus reared the boy natur-'i
lly became a lion amer and hunter, j
electing sonif cut ; of the largest
tecies known, he reared them and'i
lucated them to perform feats that i
ould illustrate the amazing strength
ad agility of these beasts.
During the performance of the
parks Shows a group of these mon:er
animals will be turned loose in
te greai steel enclosure in full view
f the audience. Trainer Reed will
riter this enclosure, unarmed, and <
ut these lions through some aston-;
ihing performances. It is the most
trilling act of the kind ever seen anj
ill never be forgotten by the be-!
older.
Like every other act and feature
resented with the Sparks Shows it
: far away from and superior to any.
tiing of the kind ever seen before,
here are numerous other trained onnal
acts in which tigers, leopards,'
yenas, tremendous elephants, etc.,

TTOX VARITIKS FOR
BOLL, WEEVIL CONDITIONS
Hemsom College, October 28. ? 1
> rapid advance of the boll weevil
South Carolina this year means
t fully one-third of the state will
sufficiently infested to cause se_ s
is damage to the 1920 cotton t
p. As a means of lessening this t
nage, only pure seed of an early d
iting and early maturing variety t
uld be used for planting next b
ing, says E. E. Hal, expert in d
ton Breeding of the Aronomy
ision. Those men vfho already v
e pure seed of an early fruiting t
1' maturing variety should stick t
that variety and pay particular s
mtion this fall to keeping this f
d from becoming, mixed with t
er varieties at public gins. The 11
of the best seed is profitable at s
time, but under weevil condf- t
is it becomes an absolute neces- t
for successful cotton^roduotion.
Vhen a new variety is desired, se- c
;%one that- has been tested and a
proved itself adapted to the b
tion in which i is to be 'grown, t
! then purchase seed from a good J1
able breeder as near home as b
sible. There will likely be a L
vy demand for good planting A
i next spring, and it would be e
1 for those wishing to purchase h
i seed to do so this fall. b
)uring the last three years about
nty of the best varieties com- t
aly grown have been tested in
refield, Aiken, Hampton, Barn- t
1, Beaufort and Charleston Conn,
for the purpose of determining
varieties best adapted to those
tlons. From results far obled
and from observation as to
iting and growth of each variety, t
veland, Cdok, Dixie Triumph, 'a
Dixie can be recommended for n
th Carolina conditions for short ^
)le varieties. 0
)n land free from wilt Cleveland
Boll has given the best average b
ilts, and this is considered one ^
:he best varieties for South Caro- ^
i on land entirely free of wilt. t
look ranks among the highest a
ding varieties of the state, but is n
as generally grown, because an- e
icnose or boll rot is worse in
i variety than in any other.
>ixie Triumph is the earliest and
best yielding wilt-resistant va- j|
y tested, and can be recommend,
tor wilt-infested land. Dixie has
> made good yields on wilt-in- ^
ed land, but it is not as early as *
ie Triumph.
Vebster 49 and Webster 82 are ,
.earliest long staple varieties '
ed. Webster 49 fruits and ma- ?
?s a little earlier than Webber .
Both are well adapted to this .
