Yaa're Late, Mr. Weevil ' " Jfc i This shows how Southern farmers have outsmarted one of their worst enemies, the boll weevil. Notice that the cotton bolls have opened on the lower branches of these stalks. They are out of danger, safe from the rav ages of the weevil. Jn sections where weevil infestation Is heavy it is always difficult to ma ture the bolls 011 the upper half of the stalks. Growers have discovered, however, that a full crop of cotton may still be grown by spacing the stalks closer together, leaving two stalks in each hill instead of one. j A side-dressing of quick-rating nitro- J gen is used to r.p the devel- j opment of the bollr. In this way two I stalks produce ar; large a crop in about | half the time as was formerly made on one stalk during a longer unmo lested fruiting period. T'.j side-dressing is applied after chopping and before squaring begins. The common application is 100 to 200 pour6s of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre. Tills quick-acting plant food speeds up the development of the bolls so that the cotton on the lower branches is safely out of danger when t! e weevil puts in its appearance. i jiizrarEiErgiZfHJEnsr^iEJErs STOP!

Those of us who stay on in town find one of the perplexing problems of the j summer is to dress comfortably. Probably that is one good rea- ! son why so many women have taken up cotton so earnestly this year when such a great variety of attractive summer fabrics are available for smartly tailored cos tumes. The crispness and comfort of cottons go hand in hand with the simplicity that is so essential for town wear. i Two of the new models are shown in the accompanying photo graphs. The one at the right pre : sents a street costume in cotton | tweed designed in sheer open | weave that is cool and non-crush able. Its texture makes it admir able for summer travel. The col lar is of white pique and fabric gloves complete this outfit. The other model is o»e of the novelty piques with an interesting blouse of cotton net. The hat is of a new woven cotton cord and is fringed with a swagger brim.
