► THE SECRET OF BAK- I
ING GOOD BISCUITS j
The ability of a housewife as a
* cook is very often Judged by the bis- I
cuits she makes, but they are really J
very simple to make. If the materials (
used are of the beat, the receipt fol- «
lowed carefully and meesarments are 1
made accurately, only a little exper-
ience is required-to produce excellent
> biscuits.
TW
f infi baking powder biscuits is, of
course, that a reliable brand of bak
ing powder is used correctly, that the
ingredients be mixed quickly, and not
| so much as to make a tough bioruit
Too stiff a dough should also be
avoided.

as biscuits, it is preferable to add the j

jagmdiwuinls, either with a knife or
with the tips of the fingers
Baking powder is used in place of
yuait, to make a floor mixture rise.
When the mixture is of liquid and a
[good, plain, straight flour, and is stiff
enough to knead, it is called a dough.
Bread dough, biscuit dough and pie
dough are examples mt this dagm of
A h iam it dough can be used in ink
ing many delicious variations. By add
ing grated cheese to flour, a delight

result. RoU these biscuits thinner and

TEXACO FILLING STATION
HAS RECORD DA^
' \
i
The record as established by tV
Texaco Filling Station here recently
goes to show the amount of traffic in
and out of our city. According to •
Mr. Peel, one of the proprietors, the
station sent away 175 satisfied custo
mers during the day. Out of the 175 j
90 per cent were cash customers, the•
other ten were free customers se- j
caring air and water and minor ad
justments. There were no charge cus- .
tomers during the day according to j
Mr. Peel.
We have not interviewed the Star. - j
danl station, but we guess its record I
to be equally as good as that of the
Texaco station. With the amount of
gas and oils being sold by these two
stations there is no doubt out of the
amount a great deal ii sold to travel- J
ers passing through, but the large; '
amount is sold to local patrons.
STRAW HAT SEASON
MAKES ITS APPEARANCE
j
Although it was of a weak nature,,
the straw hat season made its ap
■
pears net here Sunday with Messrs.
Kelly and "Luke" Meadows leading.
The day was not altogether approp- i
riate as the wind was too strong and
the ran not quite hot enough. There i
will, no doubt, be plenty of followers
In the next few days.
If a business man, or woman, wish- j
es to invest in a paying enterprise.'

it on business lines.

BOLMILMLI
j Insects are just about the worst
agricultural people to face, a writer
j for a farm publication has declared.
. and certainly there is no insect prob
lem facing a fanner that It more so*
i rtous than the boll weevil problem
to the cotton farmer, unless he ap
j piles correct and proven methods of
i control. It is impossible to eradicate
the boll weevil. It is believed, but "by
the use of the government method
of poisoning with calcium arsenate
4|ie insect caa be controlled aad a
profitable crop made.
It will pay to poison, experts say.
If the weevils are injuring the crop
•eriously; If the land is sufficiently
fertile to yield at least one third of
a bale to the acre with weevil in
jury eliminated; if the iarming or
gaanation Is such that applications
of poison at the right time and la
the right manner are assured, aad If
the farmer la willing to spend the
amount necessary to provide an adf
quate supply of dusting machinery
and poison.
One pre-square poison application
should be made wherever twenty or
more boll weevils appear on an acre
of young cotton, scientists say. The
treatment should be applied at the
first Indication of squaring. Home
mixed molasses-calcium arsenate mix
ture applied with a mop to rne tip*
of the plants, or straight calcium I
arsenate in dust form applied either;
by machine or shsklng the dust from
a sack, are recommended at this
I
The usual formula for the molasses
j mixture Is as follows: 1 pound of
. calcium srsenate. 1 gallon of molas
I aes, 1 gallon of water, or with extreme
ly heavy infestation and with fre
quent rain.-, a stronger mixture con
j tsinlng 2 pounds Si cslclum arsenate.
II gallon of table quality syrup
Vfc gallon of water The latter may
Igive quicker and better coairot. S)rap
should always be sweet or unferment
ed aad the mixture should be applied
I within twenty four hours after mtx
iag.
Kor the treatment of fruiting cot
ton the calcium arsenate dustlac
method Is recommended In preference
to late season applications of syrup
mixtures or other liquid poisons yet
(tested. Dusting should begin when
1# per cent of the squares show wee
vil puncture and st least three appll
cations of & to 7 pounds per acre
should be given at four and five day
Intervals. Thereafter dust should be
applied only as when needed to keep
j the infestation below 20 per cent un
I til after a full crop of bolls has been
set and become grown. Only machin
j ery built especially lor dusting eotton
: should be used.
