George M. 6nodgrass whose address is
given as Houston stating that It Is his

says: "My copyrighted pamphlet will be

we planted hy the ordinary drill method.
A Braxos bottom planter at my sug-
gestion planted some land in checks as
a means of working both ways and kill-
ing Job; ..ipn grass. The cotton did well;
he killed the Johnson grass out prettv
successfully but it was my opinion that
on account of many missing hills the
checks would not yield with his drilled
cotton. This has been generally the e.x-
fierlence at all experiment stations and
he fact that almost all cotton farmers
practice the drill system Is pretty good
froof that that method Is generally best
think. I am quite willing to be ouoted
on this subject and am very sure that
the party who told me about visiting tho
place will be. In case of necessity. I
wish to commend the steps you gentle- "
men have taken to protect Mississip-
