A GOLD MINE IN THE SOIL.
The Story OF an old Ssssairas Field and
How it Was Restored to Fertility.

About a mile north of Taneyville
there was an old turned out field,
covered with sassafras bushes thicker
than the hair on dogs back. Most
people thought it would not sprout
bIack'eyed peas. The writer OF this
sketch one day remarked in passing
the field, that il he could get con-
tract TO furnish the L. S, army with
sassairas tea he would buy it, for there
was enough to supply the army and
navy.
j. N. Ray, one of our successful farm
ers and business men, bought this
farm, paying for it more than many Of
our people thought it was worth, and
immediately began the work Of rec
lamation. He cleared it off aud
planted IL to corn and raised IA fair
crop, The second year be sowed it to
cow.peas, and then to wheat. The
third year he sowed it 10 timothy and
clover, and wheat and alfalfa. This
year he baled 1887 bales of bay and
straw, worth 30 cents bale. Some OF
you school boys figure it ont and see
what the income is.
Cow'peas, manure and a proper ro.
tation of crops have made this old
worn.out farm one Of the most valuable
places around Taneyville, and you
could not buy it for $50 an acre. The
story is short and soon told, but its
lesson, like the brook, will ego on
forever.n
