Griggs, in Anson, to Follow Plan Under Supervision of Devel opment Department of Seaboard. To assist the cotton farmers along its line in combatting the boll weevil, the Development Department of the Seaboard Air Line has just issued a circular on an "Improved Method" of boll weevil control. No claim is made that the "Florida Plan" is a perfect boll weevil remedy. It has been found practicable and economical in Florida by both scienti fic men and farmers on their own farms. In order to test out and dem onstrate this method, the Seaboard Development Department is carrying on a large number of demonstrations in growing cotton, using the "Florida Plan" to control the weevil. These demonstrations have been located with farmers along the Seaboard in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The following demonstrations will be carried on this year in North Car olina: M. D. McAuley, Acme; A. K. Brown, Clarkton; W. J. Ritter, Lum berton; T. M. McDaniels Sanford; H. C. Watson, Rockingham; E. C. Griggs, Wadesboro; Van Sykes, Mon roe; S. C. Lattimore, Shelby; L. R. Bane, Crouse. This work will be supervised by the Development Agents of the Seaboard, and will be available for the benefit nf evprv cotton farmer in each local ity. The Agricultural Colleges in the several states above mentionea have approved of this work and are cooperating in it. The demonstration farms have been carefully selected in order that accurate Tesults may be obtained. TIMELY FARM NOTES. Waiting.

The hoe is one of the most expensive im plements used on the farm, as it re quires so much expensive manual la bor, yet it is necessary for cotton farmers to use it to a certain extent. Grass and weeds can usually be destroyed with the greatest ease and In the most effective way when the seed are beginning to sprout Weed ers, section harrows and cultivators are usually the best implements to destroy grass at this stage and should be used with care, and as much as possible. Under boll weevil condi tions it is essential that . cotton . be cultivated frequently in order to has ten growth. Thinning Cotton. Anson county farmers have been losing many thousands of dollars an nually on account of thinning cotton too much. According to the results of spacing tests that have been con ducted on many of the Experiment Stations and individual farms in the South, it seems taht the most prac tical way to thin cotton is just to block it out, leaving two, three or more stalks in the hill 6 or 8 inches apart Farmers who have not tried thin spacing, or are not convinced that it pays to leave it thick, would do well to try it out on a small scale on their own farms. A number of Anson county farmers have already tested this out in a small way and are convinced that it, pays to leave it thick. Home Made Bordeaux Mixture.
