Hence the necessity to make plans to shift the hogs to new ter ritory as often as possible. To do this effectively there must be a complete change as to both pas ture and watering quarters, for if hogs are turned on a fresh field of forage but come back to the same old pasture for water and feed they with ting in cover crops, j Use weeder, spike-tooth harrow, or rotary hoe to break crusts form ed over young seedlings.

A remarkably mild winter, a late, damp spring, the possibility of a wet summer—this combina tion of conditions is ideal for the weevil. What he does to the crop however, depends pretty much on what he finds when he begins to get around in lar^e numbers. If he finds squares, it will be just too bad. But if he finds the crop already set, he’ll have plenty to worry about. The job is to get your crop set just as early as you can. And there is nothing like a Chilean Nitrate side-dressing to do it. Immediate avail ability, quick action, lasting vigor and vitality— these are reasons why Chilean Nitrate is so valuable, so effective for side-dressing cotton. Put down 100 pounds per acre (200 pounds would be better) right after chopping. That ought to pull you through this year. But be sure you get Chilean Nitrate. See your dealer now.

Designed to prevent parking on curves and below the crests of hills, another clause of the new regula tions provides that all parked ve hicles be visible for a distance of 300 feet. Motorists are enjoined in the regulations to “exercise reasonable caution” so as to avoid parking in hazardous places. Violators of the state parking regulations are liable to as much as 30 days in jail or a fine $10 to $100.
