ium tC8Uurgi u., came to

These gentlemen came in re
sponse.fo a request from Mr. H.

artsville ha3 become infested
with this destructive pest.
The spraying outfit, one bar
rel capacity, was used on a dis
mantled hay rake on which a
platform had been N' built. The
wheels straddled two cotton rows,
and it was drawn by one mule.
Quite a number of interested
planters watched the demonstra
tion. Examination showed that
all the leaves were hit by the
spray and the work progressed at
me lauioi aoout one-halt acre
per hour. ,
The cost of material and time
to spray costs about $2 per acre.

sequent continued use of the
spraying solution has resulted in
a great deal of good.

Saddle Tree township, arrived in
town Saturday morning, by run
ning his mule, just in time to
save his life. He ate some cant

the cantaloupe and unintention
ally given it to Hardin. Hardin
was in a terrible fix when he ar
rived in town and Dr. Pope, who
rendered medical aid, said' he
would have been a dead man in
ten minutes had he not received
