■'The best method of ridding your
land of weeds and dt the same time
placing it in the best posslble'-shape
for cultivation, is to plow under all
standing .stalks. Plowing will tend to
retain in the ground moisture from
the winter’s rains and to a great ex-
tent eliminate early irrigation. Water
saved, at the start of the season will
mean better germination and bigger
crops. Ground naturally moist from
rains is match easier to cultivate and
has a tendency to promote healthy,
sturdKcotton.”

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan., Sept. 29.
-—M^lny years ago it was the practice
of some Indian tribes for the new
born of the race to be given a single
name and that name generally the
first object seen by the mother after
the child's birth.
* * This old custom has left its mark
on the present generation.
The names of students enrolled in
Chilocco Agricultural school which
opened recently read like a Chinese
puzzle.
Here are a few of the names of the
Indian students:

its origin traced to Africa, India,
and to most countries of the

our jazz is really Gaelic.
“From our early bagpipe
music,” explains Timothy, "comes
much of the modern American
music. The keening motifs, of the

The “cave man” of Kentucky are now
reverting to hte chief pastime of their
ancestors—war. And Andy Lee Col-
lins, brother of Floyd Collins who died
in Sand Cave three years ago is one
of the first casualties of the warfare.
Competition among the operators of
the various noted caverns of Kentuc-
ky, for the tourist trade has become
so keen that property is being destroy-
ed, according to evidence in the case
of Collins, who was tried for destroy-
ing, signs of rival cave men. along the
Dixie Highway. Collins has been bound

handed on and there is a great
similarity between our modern
saxophone music and bagpipe
music. It won’t be long before we
have bagpipes in all the dance
orchestras.
“ ‘Gotta Big Date With A Little
Girl,’ is just full of Irish sugges- '
tioni. It fairly aches to be played
on the bagpipes. It sounds like
one of the tunes founded on one
of the merry pranks of the little
people whose pagan music the
bagpipes love to play.”
Mr. Timothy leaves soon for
Ireland to awaken the Irish bag-
pipe players to interest in our
modern rhythms. •

He said in part: .
, “To the farmer contemplating

tim|e to start preparation which should
guarantee a record croox Start right
by clearing the land ot all weeds,
stalks, brush and other trash that
might prove a breeding place for
weevils, fleas and insects which
greatly reduce if not entirely set at
naught the months of efforts spent in
trying to mature q crop. In this cam-
paign against insect pests drainage
ditches, canal banks and. tence rows
of fields and neglect the precaution of
removing possible hibernating places
around the edges is wasted effort. Get
rid ot all weeds; don’t leave one
