Avoid soil that has been in tomatoes the previous year, especially if there has been uny disease on the plants, as some of the diseases live over winter In the soil. Soil where cotton has been Injured by the nematode or root knot should also be avoided. Plow the soll six to eight Inches deep in the fall or early winter and apply two to three wagon loads of well rotted manure to tenth-acre plot LoOrVS the soil rough during the winter to prevent wash tag. if no well rotted manure Is available use coarse manure and apply tt before i lowing and turn it under so It wttl decay before spring.

Alrcadj Till* Year 2,OT3 Now Bill* If ovo Been Introduced. Leslie's Weekly, llidiculous! a Western legislator en his way to the State capital was jostled on ;< crowded sidewalk. He was angry and proceeded at once to outline a bill to regulate sidewalk traffic by compelling tho authorities to draw eight parallel lines, extend? ing longitudinally over the walks In all cities In the siaie. Pedestrians were required to follow the iin?-s, so that those moving In one direction would not interfere with those moving n on another. The penalty for not following this chalk line program was to be a lin.- of $5 for every offense or 10 days in jail. A fellow member of the legislature induced his angry as-, : t> . ite not to introduce the bill, be? cause it would have made him the laughing stock of the Sttae. We are "legislation mad" in this country. Every member of the State i legislature and nearly every member of congress wants to have his name attached to some new law that he thinks will tickle the public, and es? pecially the labor or farmer vote. Even staid old Massachusetts is af? flicted. In 1906 the new bills intro? duced into Its legislature numbered 982. This year thus far 2,013 bills have been Introduced, with a possibil? ity of an increase to 3,000. This is ? fitting illustration of the tendency of too many of our legisla? tors. They forget that the whole moral law, handed down to the peo? ple from Mount Sinai, was embraced in 10 short commandments of less than 300 words, and that these com? mandments have sufficed for all ages without further definition, amend? ment) revision or recall. It congress rj ill our legislatures would adjourn; tomorrow and give the people a chance to rest and breathe, there would be more work for everybody. ?except the lawyers. MISSING GIRL LOCATED.

"As there are both Huerta govern? ors and Carranza governors In the States of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, and Secretary Bryan does not say which the federal government recog? nizes,'* declared the governor. "I will therefore make requisition on both." Gov. Colquitt added he expected to get results hut did not say from which side. Gen.
