How many times in your life have
you repeated that statement? Many
times, without a doubt. And how
many of those times did that same ut
terance carry with it the feeling of
deep despair because it was the decid
ing factor in a proposition of great im
portance in your life?
FAILURE or SUCCESS
Depends on whether or not you have
the money in most every instance. So
many men have failed on the verge of
success because they lacked the money
to carry their ideas or opportunities on
to completion.
Start saving today and when oppor
tunity or idea present itself you will
not have to bewail the fact that you do
not have the money.
We offer you every feature of a pro

According to Mr. Morgan, the
farmers w II do w°ll to k~e - i a close
watch on their fields fer weevil dam
age, and prepare themselves in ad
vance to light the weevil. Accord
ing to all experiments, it is needless
to try to fight the weevil before tin
cotto n beg’r.s to put on squares.
Then, for the first few weeks, the
molasses poisoning will be to a cer
tain extent efficient. However, af-
r this stage, only calcium arsenate
dust will prove to be successful in (
fighting the pest. Extensive pois-;
onirg prc'bably w 11 not pay on land I
will rot make over one-half a]
bale of cotton to the acre without the
boll weev.l.
Several typos of dusting machin
ery are on the market, and it is left
to the individual to select the duster
that will host suit his needs. These
are: 1 -the hand duster, with which
one ca n take care cf five to eight
acres; 2 the mule back duster, with
which ore man and a mule can dust
20 to 30 acres; and 3 the two row,
wh^el power duster, with which one |
man can dust 20 to 30 acres. The
larger mach nes are not practical for
McCormick County fields. The price
of these dusters may seem high to
the average small farmer, but when
he has as much as ten to twenty
acres in cc/tton. the gain from pois
oning will several times pay for the
mach ne, which will remain as per
manent equipment on the faim.
Mr. W. L. White, of the Liberty
Hill section, reports that the Army
W< rm is doing heavy damage to his
cotton, having killed over an acre of
cotton. Pdisoning with calcium ar
senate will successfully control the
army worm, and this method is rec
ommended to those who have trouble
with this pest.
The county agent states that he
has received a number of copies of
Extension Circular No. 95, entitled
“Controlling the Boll Weevil,” and
will mail out copies to anyone ie-
qu^sting same.
It seems that we are going to have
to fight for a crop of cotton in Me-:
Cc'rmick County this year, and those
wdio do the fighting will be those
who make the cotton. Poisoning with
calcium arsenate has reached the
stage where results are almost a
uertainty, and the thinking farmer
w : ll plan to take care of his crop
this year.
On Wednesday, June 6th, the Mc-
Coimick Cream Station bought 543
pounds of butterfat, paying ferty
cunts per pound for same. This is one
of the highest days on record, and
all indicatiens noint to the fact that
the volume will steadily increase
through the summer.
The location, of the cream station
has been moved from the county
agent’s office to the rear of Pipkin’s
Diug Store. This arrangement gives
much more ro<?m, and also running
water. All cream will be received
there from now on.

When sheep bunch up on a warm
summer day with their heads togeth
er and their noses near the ground,
they probably are trying to avoid a
species of fly which annoys them
by depositing its larvae on the edges
of their nostrils, these maggots lat
er moving to the head sinuses. Dur
ing dry weather these actions of the
sheep result in stirring up consid
erable dust, which, if it is around
old buildings and sheds, consists
principally of manure and contains
various organisms that may produce
in Ration i n the respiratory of the
sheep. Although sheep are not es
pecially susceptible to many of the
infectious diseases of animals, they
are quite susceptible to local infec
tions. Undoubtedly a large amount
of the. respiratory troubles common
in sheep are due to this irritation
by dust, and losses from this source
can be adovided by providing plenty
of shade on clean ground without|
too much dust. If old corrals and
sheds are used, they should be kept
The fifth co-operative carlot ship
ment of poultry for this season was
made from McCormick County on
June 6 and *7. The car was stopped
at Mt. Carmel on June 6, and at Mc
Cormick on June 7, and 9,519 pounds
of live poultry -was loaded at these
two stops. The net receipts to the
farmers of the cc’unty fi^om the sale
was $2,128.54. The car was sold to
Risser and Rabinowitz of Philadel
phia, and was handled by Mr. V. G.
Doty, representative of this com
pany.
This is the fifth co-operative ship
ment made from the county since
February. The cars have been run
once a month, and have furnished
a steady market for surplus poultry.
The total number of pounds loaded
in these shipments is 40,482, for
which the McCormick County ship
per-; have received in cash $8,623.89.
In addition to this, the qounty agent
has shipped poultry byr express to
the value of around $1,000.
The carlot sale of poultry is a well
established institution in McCor
mack County, and all producers are
well pleased with the steady, satis
factory market thus afforded, and
the prices received. i
It is probable that one more cai*
of poultry will be shipped around
the first of July. All persons who
will have poultry to ship at that date
me asked to please get in touch with
the county agent i n order that he
inaj* know what tonnage to make ar
rangements for.
Among the dangerous crossings to
be avoided is crossing the bridge be

There are tricks in every trade,
but it is not the tricks that win out
in the long run.
as clean as possible. Bedding the
shaded places for sheep with clean
straw is a cheap, effective way of
keeping the dust down. Plenty of
shade will help to avoid crowding.
The use of pine tar smeared on the
ndstrils of sheep during the fly sea
son is said to be of value in pre
venting the flies from depositing
their maggots on the edge of the
nostrils of sheep. This can be ap
plied by hand or by using a plank
with 2-inch augur holes contaimng
salt and with the pine tar around
the edges of the holes, or a V-shapud
trough containing salt and with the
pine tar smeared in a line above the
salt where it will adhere to the noses
as the sheep lick the salt.
