Commissioner of Agriculture John It. Page
Gives Valuable Advice.
The final cultivation of corn and
cotton crops have now been made,
and much of the hay has been
made, and the time for harvest is
coming on and will soon be here.
There is yet a short interval in
which the farmers can prepare
land and make ready to put in a
small acreage of some of the most
leguminous crops for a winter pas
ture and cover crop for the land.
Burr clover is-one of the best for a
cover crop to keep the land from
washing and also from leaching,
and makes a good winter pasture
for cattle and hogs, as well as
other stock. If you have a good
Bermuda pasture, plow it up dur
ing this month and harrow it dov^n
and sow it to Burr Clover. It will
make you a good pasture all
winter, and last through the spring,
until the Bermuda comes out
again. Then it will die down and
give way to the Bermuda, and will
re-seed itself next fall. This will
give almost a year-round pasture
for stock, and will enrich the land
too.
Crimson clover is another good
one, and while it may be a little
difficult to get a stand, it is one of
the best legumes you can get. and
provides more nitrogen gathering
nodules than any of the others.
Crimson clover can be seeded later.
Another good one is Vetch. Try
some of it. The experiment is
worth trying. It will make a good
pasture, will produce lots of hay.
and is a fine soil-builder. It would
not be a bad idea to sow any of
these grasses in the corn field,
going through between the rows
with small harrows. Later, when
the corn is gathered there will re
main a good winter pasture and a
• cover crop too.
ir you cannot persuade yourseii
to try out any of these new crops,
then try some rye. Most every
body knows about rye and what it
will do. Rye may be sown between
the corn or cotton rows in the fall
and make a good winter and spring
pasture, and will help the soil be
sides being a fairly good cover
crop. But be sure to try something.
You really can’t afford not to.
Then there is the alfalfa. Some
of the best and most progressive
farmers have been trying it out
and succeeding. It sometimes
takes perseverence and patience,
but they will win in most cases.
If your soil is sour, add some
ground limestone. If you will apply
to the Agricultural Department at
Washington, or the county demon
stration agent, you can get free, all
the nitrogen-fixing bacteria you
need. When you sow alfalfa, be
careful to put your land in good
condition, and have it well pulver
ized. It is best to use a plot of
ground that has been in peas or
grass, or used in some way to keep
it free from weeds, or on which the
weeds have not seeded this season.
Then use plenty of seed. Sow
about thirty pounds to the acre.
If you have tried alfalfa before and
did not get a stand, try it again on
the same ground; do not change
locations. Some of the best al
falfa producing land in the country
has required as many as the third
sowing to get a good stand. Each
time it is re seeded the soil is be
coming inoculated, and that is nec
essary to maintain a good stand
Take care of the ditches now
Clean them out and cut the weeds
and briers off. If you don't they
will fill up badly this fall and winter
that you may find the job too big
for you next spring, any when you
are pressed for planting time you
may find the ground too wet for
clearing ditches or planting either.
Attend to them now. Take care
of the hay and cut all you can of
every kind, even unto the crab
grass. Save it a’l. The stock
love it £,nd its easy to feed. Re
member the County and State fair.
Go and take something to exhibit if
you can. Give my regards to the
hogs, the real money-makers on
the farm, and tell them 1 hope they
will make it through to "acorn
time”, if they have been neglected,
as many have.

Good Results From Deep Plowing.
On the Iron Mountain Railroad
demonstration farm at Hope, Ark.,
oat land plowed four inches deep
yielded but 23 bushels to an acre,
while the same land plowed ten
inches deep and fertilized yie'ded
77 bushels to the acre. This in
crease results from the fact that
the deep plowing afforded a better
reservoir for the soil water, and
dry weather did not delay the
growth. In the deeper plowing a
larger supply of moisture came in
contact with more soil particles
and dissolved more plant food.
There was also more space for root
developement, and the larger root
developement was enabled to
secure more moisture and more
plant food.
So Many People Ole of bluod poison.
A little scratch on the hand a
splinter, or a smafll abrasion of the
sk'n is often fatal because the
poisonous germs start the infection.
Thats where Hunt’s Lightning Oil
comes in handy as an application
on the abraison, kills all germs
which may have lodged there,
thereby preventing infection and
death. It pays to keep this remedy
in the home, especially where there
are children. All drug stores in

Scratching for fun.
We would have great sympathy
for those who have to scratch con
tinually. if there wasn't a remedy
for the trouble, but as Hun’ts Cure

of it. It’s a special remedy for
Itch. Eczema, tetter, ringworm etc.

V
Card from B. f. Miles
To the People of Union County:
j Being conscious of the fact that
1 have been faithful to the trust
the people of this county have
placed in me and that I have not
only discharged my duties hon
estly. conscientiously and impar
tially, but during my administra
tion I have endeavored to perform
the duties of circuit clerk's office
in that manner which would sub
serve the interests~of the people in
a greater degree than my own self
j ish interest, ha ving the consider
ation for my fehowman that I would
ask him have for me.
1 have never failed to extend
favors and accommodation to those
who ask them at my hands. There
has never been a signal of distress,
nor a demand on me to help those
whom misfortune had overtaken but
that 1 responded cheerful'y and
willingly, and many times far more
than my financial condition justi
fied.
I have always manifested an in
terest in the welfare of my fellow
men and for public improvements
that would tend to build up and
help the people who earn their
living by the sweat of their face.
1 have never turned a deaf ear
to the cry of the widows and or
phans, nor for a call for help in the
building of churches or religious
institutions.
I have never manifested a spirit
of selfishness and a desire to gain
wealth at the expenseof my fellows.
1 dare say 1 am the only Circuit
j clerk, since the time of our
i venerable and honored friend and
1 fellow citiaen. Col. Wright who has
failed to accumulate enough means
while in office to engage in some
other pursuit after leaving the
office. But 1 do not ask for the
office again altogether - for the
reasons above stated, but because
j 1 am better qualified to fill the
office on account of having had the
I experience which is necessary to
an effectual performance of the du
ties attaching to such a responsi
ble office.
There has been no resolution
passed by the County Central
Committee, nor has there gone
forth an edict from the people that
a person is ineligible to office be
cause he has already hcld office
for any length of time.
You here very few advocating
rotation in office except those who
are out of office and want to get in.
If it were possible for every man
in the county to. at one time, hold
the Circuit clerk's office, then it
would be fair to rotate and give
1 each and every man a chance, but
that is impossible. More than a
majority of our people don't want
an office and a great many would
not accept an office if tendered to
them, then what good would ro
tation do them and what would
they care who was elected, just so
he was an honest, faithful and efR
cient officer; effectual, honest and
impartial service is what the peo
ple want regardless of whether the
servant has served one, -two or
| four years? And in their ability
and judgment to select an honest
and qualified man for the office of
Circuit clerk of Union county. I
have an abiding faith; and when
they have spoken at the polls their
selection of my successor, whether
it be myself or either one of my
opponents, will be satisfactory to
me.
Your humble servant.
