GOLDEN RULE IN BUSINESS
The merchants of a small town
in Missouri were having a hard
time a few years ago. The great
mall order houses cut into local trade
Also the automobile made it easy
fOr townspeople to buy in the nearest
big city. It was a serious situation
which bitter competition among them-
selves did not alleviate. Then the
advertising manager of a local nurs-

His idea was to apply the Golden
OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT FIGHTS WEEVIL
The Agricultural Department of
Oklahoma is backing the boll wee-
vil extermination campaign in Okla-
homa and is issuing bulletins outlin-
ing a plan to exterminate the wee-
vils. Oklahoma has been hit hard
this past year. The cotton acreage
was reduced, in accordance with a
well formulated Plan and the weevil
worekd on the small acreage and in
some places the farmers are abso
lutely up against a hard proposition.
The State Department is coming to

Theie is hardly a farm in Parker
county that is .not affected with
spots of - ground where nothing will
i grow, and especially are these spots
numerous in the cotton,fields this
year. These spots vary in size in
some instances covering several
acres, where the cotton stalks are
dead and have been dead since mid
summer. There seems to be no ac-
counting for this condition. Some
farmers advance one reason and
some another. However the fact re-
mains that these dead spots are
there and no crops will grow. The
following explanation of the cause
of the. non-productiveness of these
certain places and the reason for
their spreading and increase in size
has just been issued by the experi-
ment station at College Station and

These spots also sometimes show
a tendency to grow larger. A rep-
resentative spot of this kind was
recently described as occuring in
Hill county. Four years ago this
spot covered only a few square feet,
but now it occupies four acres. Cot-
ton will hardly sprout on it, corn
will not grow, and even weeds will
hardly grow. The spot is in a low
place, and the ground seems salty-
These spots are indeed uusually
salty in character, and are caused
by salts, including ordinary table
salt, salt being present in them in
such amount as to injure plants,
or kill them. The salt Is brought
