Increase Profits by Controlling Leafspot on Peanut Vines. Use Copper-Sulphur Peanut Dust Increase Your Yield of Peanuts and Peanut Hay By Dusting with “Copper - Sulphur" The North Carolina State College, Raleigh, N. C., and the Georgia Experiment Station, of Experiment, Georgia, scientific experiments shows that the yield of peanuts can be in creased one-third, and that the yield of peanut hay can be doubled by dusting with Copper Sulphur. Experiments have shown that dusting with Copper-Sulphur and dusting sulphur have given excellent results in the control of peanut diseases; thereby increasing the yield of hay and nuts. However, the combination mixture of Copper and Sulphur, according to experi ments, gives much better results than the Copper alone or Sulphur alone.

Bragg Robert (“Babe”) Edwards of Pendleton, first string second baseman for the Murfreesboro Baseball club, reported for his Army physical examination on Tuesday, July 18*. “Babe,” as all have known him since the days he ran up foul hit balls, has a perfect record with the ball club this season. “Babe” has hit safely in all 11 games, a record no other player on the club has made. He has held down the keystone position all season without committing an error. “Babe,” it is said, is mild tempered #nd never participates in arguments. Whenever argu ments start, he takes his seat on the second sack until play is resumed. “Babe” was missed in yester day’s game, but is hoped that he will be back for the remainder of the season.
