To Destroy Cut Worms.
Tomatoes, cabbages, sweet
potatoes, and other vegetables
and garden plants, and especially
those which are started
under glass and transplanted, ]
are subject to serious injury by
cut worms. By the timely application
of remedies, however,
as Jias been demonstrated
. t i * ? '
uuuugn neici agents and other
entomologists of the department
of agriculture, they readily can
be controlled, and large areas
have been successfully treated.
Take a bushel of dry bran, add
1 pound of white arsenic or Paris
green, and mix it thoroughly in10
a mash with 8 gallons of water
in which has been stirred half a
gallon of sorghum or other cheap
molasses. This amount will be
sutticient for the treatment of 4
or 5 acres of cultivated crops.
After the mash has stood for several
hours, scatter it, in lumps
about the size of a marble, over
the fields where the injury is
beginning to appear and about
the bases of the plants set out.
Apply late in the day, so as to
place the poison about the plants
before night, which is the time
when the cut worms are active.
Apply a second time if necessary.

i nsii iry ami upon nis leturn
home in ilie morning was in an
intoxicated condition. Shortly
after his arrival, and without
any provocation, seized his shot
gun and after discharging both
barrels in the room at random,
drew his revolver and began to
shoot promiscuously. He fired
six shots, the last bullet striking
iiis son in the forehead, penetrating
the brain and causing instant
death. The only eye witnesses
of the tragedy were Dock
Dulin, a companion of Clavvson's

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent
Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and by means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets oj" our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided bv each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by warehouse
receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cotten at Six Per Cent
Interest.
