1t is little wonder that it should be
difficult to grow grasses and clovers in
the south, il one examines the bare and
gulleyed hillsides on which the at.
tempts are made. Treat these same
hillsides with cowpeas and plow them
under and make the soil friable and
store 1t with fertility, and the trouble,
80 long bugbear to the development

The remedy seems simple enough, but
1t has not been generally praCticed be-

peas plowed under, which really repre-

the purchase OF grass seed, considering

Powerful Peroration.

In his argument in the Schley inves-
tigation Mr., Raynor closed as follows:
"Such trial as this has never, to my
knowledge, taken place in the history
of the world. 1t has taken three years
to reveal the truth. There is not a
single word that has fallen from the
tongue of single witness, friend or
foe, that casts the shadow OF reAec-
ton ON the honored name Of the hero
of Santiago. He has never claimed
the glory of that day. The valiant
Cook, the heroic Clarke, the lamented
Philip, the intrepid and undaunted
Wainwright, and all the other captains
and every man at evrey gun, and every
soul on board of every ship, are equal
participants with Admiral Schley in the
honor wrought upon that immortal day.

streamer that was bent from the hal
