How to Apply Paris Green.
Editor Darlington Newt:
I see in your last issae some one
says the best way to pat out Paris
Green is to put a quantity of the
mixture iu crocus bagging attach
ed to either eud of a stick, the
length ot which is equal t*i the width
oM be rows. The patty making the
application is lo walk ht-twe«-u the given of
rows striking the stieK, and hold
ing it in such a position that each
ot the bags containing the mixtoie
is above a row ; two iowh arc tba*
attended to at the same time. Some
of our Swift Creek cottou grows so
tall that a mau ccutd uot hold the
osgs high enough to keep them
Horn dragging on the oottou aud get
tiug wet, which would prevent the
mixture from coming oat through
lh<- devices ill the cloth.
I tbiuk I can suggest a better
plan, or at least one that would
suit l»etter on our Swift Cie>-k Und.
Put a saddle wiib a tall “bore” on
a tall horse ; put the long stick
spoken of across the horn of the
saddle; have a pocket iu each skirt,
from each of which run a stick long
enough to reach the ends ot the
stick that is aero.-s the saddle, so
as to make a brace; mount a boy,
give him a stick mid .ell him to
“go.” To amuse the boy, put a
tin pau ou the center of the horri
aoutal piece, and give him two
drum stick*. I tbiuk covered box
es with sieve bottoms would be bet
ter than bagging. Always apply
the mixture in the time of a light
rain. I thiuk a still better plan
would be to bare round sieves on
each end aud let the cross pie e
work with a crank in the middle so
as to tnru like a (tolling machine.
