Some days ago a grocery mer-
chant in the southern part of the
State asked why 'he could not
get any more butter. He said
for over a month his orders had
been turned down. We asked it
he had been buying in New Or
leans, and he replied affirmative
ly. Our explanation to him WAS
that be had never bought any
butter in New Orleans. He had
received oleomargarine instead
of butter, and since the new law
went into affect taxing colored
oleo 10 cents a pound the New
Orleans wholesaler who had de-
celved our friend knew the game
was up and ignored the orders
We put our friend IN touch with
a good Starkville dairymen and
he is now receiving perhaps the
first good honest butter he has
sold in a long time. He was
greatly surprised at the way he
had been imposed on, and is we'll
pleased with the change. His
customers will doubtless be still
better pleased.

The writer sowed about 40
acres of sorghum the first week
in August partly to be cut aud
feed green to over hundred
head of hogs and to the other
stock, and partly to be cut for
hay just before frost. A good
stand was obtained on most of it
in spite of scorching weather,
and it promises a good yield.
The sorghum was planted thick
in drills aud worked some in or
der to enabl it to stand drouth.
We would have liked July plant

will not pay to plant if you must
plant the land before the first of
June, or before the vetch has
made its seed. Vetch seed are
high and if you start it it pays to
let it reseed the land every year,
or until you have secured seed
enough to plant other land. A
peck of seed is not enough to the
acre, and hence we recommend
grain to utilize all the land, so as
te enable the vetch to seed and
thlcken the ground. Crops can
be grown on vetch land from
seeding time in June till tall. It
Will come up in fall regardless of
how the land was cultivated or
whether it was cultivated at all
or not.

gives the following plan for saw
ing seed of the Louisiana sugar
cane: Prepare nice bed as If
you we're going to SOW turnips.
cut off the tops that are USUALLY
broken off and thrown awav.
stick these down about 2 inches
deep in the seed bed, letting the m
lean over at an angle of about As
degrees and putting them as
thick as they can stand on the
bed. Cover over with dirt as
usual in banking cane. The
joint stuck in the earth will take
root and the tops will grow some
IN winter. An acre of cane NAV
be ground, and the tops saved
will make enough seed to plant
about three-quarters of an acre
next year.
