Some facts About the Methods of the American Cotton Company ami Its CamVitisin ?Prolifs in the New Method of Baling. The South is still eonserv ?11\ but it is no longer slow." It isharing 111 the wonderful prosper ity of the rest of the country. !t IB passing through a revolution that is giving new life and vigor to every branch of the cotton in dustrv, excepting those members which have been hurtful, instead of helpful, to its prosperity. I t i-simplifying, strengthening and using a new economy in tin* packing and handling of the sta pie. The Roundiap method 01 baling cotton is growing rapidly in favor, adding to the prosnerit* of the planter, whether he raise* two bales or two hundred, and giving the gm owner an opportu liity to double the earning capac ity of his plant without im-reis ing his investment. The opposition to the Koundlap bale on the part of the compress owners and the middlemen, whose business lias been a burdensome tax on the cotton planter, has not prevented the steady introdnc tion of the machinery for making the Roundlap bale, and the sat isfaction of the farmer, t he ginner and the mill owner. The attacks on the American Cotton Coin pa ny, owners of the Roundlap baling machine, have been bitter and unscrupulous. They have been accused of attempting to gain a monopoly, of using "trust" methods, but gradually the facts are gaining headway that the American Cotton Company is only one of three concers engaged in makinir round balinc nrp??ea n i ? and that it can uotenjoy any mo nopoly. Then, again, objection is made to the policy adopted by the com pany of leasing its machinery to the gin owner instead of selling it. The lease is, in effect, a royal- i ty, the amount of the rental being I based on the amount of cotton baled in the press, thus making the profit and prosperity of the! company depend on that of thej ginner. Under the leasing system ! it is found, the ginner runs no risk, ties up none ot his capital,! and makes as much profit out >1 ! the leased attachment to his , nery itself, in which Ins c.nut si ia in tu/l " mm* mm m V7QIUV1.

The pesky worm that is working destruction to the corn crop is referred to as follows by Kutomologist Scott: "The largest cornstalk borer is a large white catterpillar, dotted with dark, brown spots, which 1 j bores into corn stalks preventing J (die growth of the ears in voting , i 11 I com and weakening older stalks 1. I that it is readily blown down, i It frefjtifnti.v occurs in such nuni- ' hers in eorntiehls that one stalk ; jo! corn may be riddled with , < {twentv or thirty holes. The adult insect is a moth which deposits eggs on young i corn soon after it comes up.
