Back to Nature
A hen is not supposed to have much com
mon sense or tact, yet every time she
lays an egg she cackles forth the fact,
A rooatei hasn't got a lot of intellect to show,
l>ut none the less most rooaters have en
ough good sense to crow.
I he mule, the most despised of beasts, has a
most persistent way of letting people know
he's around by his insistent bray.
I he busy little bees buzz, bulls bellow and cows
rnoO, and watch dogs bark, and granders
quack and doves and pigeons coo.
I he peacock spreads his tail and squawks; pig
squeal and robins sing, and even serpents
know enou to hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece that Nature
could devise, will often stop and hesitate

Mr. It. E Grabel !.as l^cn appoint
A
ed agent of the Cotton I> par'ment
at Macon, Ga., to *ork along the
line of Southern Railway between
Macon and BrunRwirk, and long the1
Goorgla Southern and Florida Ry.
in Georgia and North Florida. Four
additional agents are to be employ-J
ed for work along the lines of the
Southern Ry., the Alabama Great
Southern Railroad, and the M. &
O. Railroad, In central and eastern
Alabama. Unless circumstances'
should make some other arrange
have their headquarters at Attalla,
Anniuton, Tuscaloosa and Maples
ville, Ala. Mr Grabel has had
practical experience in growing cot
ton in boll weevil territory and four
j other men with like experience are
to be selected for the Alabama agent1
i cios. The weevil has not spread to
any of the localities to which these
agents have been assigned and there
is no reason to expect its early ap
pearance in I hem. The purpose of
establishing the work in these lo
' entitles is to enable the farmers to
be thoroughly prepared for the
'? weevil if it shall at any time enter
: their fields.
, Fortunately, the cultural methods
| advised by the Cotton Culture De
partment are identically those
which the late I)r. S. A. Knapp, of
'the I'nlted States Agricultural De
partment, recommended for increae
j ir:g the production of cotton wheth
er the weevil be present or not.
Farmers throughout the cotton belt
will, therefore, find It profitable to
i adopt these methods, even though
the weevil may never spread to
thler farms
As a further Btep in aid of the
work of the Cotton Culture Depart
ment, President Finley has preapr
ed a circular letter incorporating
Dr. Knapp* #dVlce which is being
distributed to farmers in all cotton
growing territory along the lines of
the railways above mentioned. Far
nh ?rs along the lines of these Com
panies may obtain copies of this
circular letter by addressing W. W.
