- SECURE STAND OF ALFALFA
Glover a Favorable Nurse Crop for
Young Alfalfa.

Glover Favorable Nurse Crop for
Young Alfalfa.
The difficulty often experienced in
securing a stand of alfalfa is too
well known by lnose who are grow
Ing 1T to require comment here. The
Following experience is given in one
OF our leading agricultural papers
and is worthy of consideration. The
gentleman says that a plat seeded to
alfalfa In October failed to produce
stand. Some seed was left and as
an experiment he sowed equal parts
or alfalfa and red clover on another
small piece of ground after having
prepared for planting. He says:
Greatly to my surprise, by Dec
ember 1st, had beautiful stand
OF alfalfa and clover, and this spring
fgreW rapidly. On May 1st / cut a
, heavy crop, about three-fourths clo-
yer and on June 9Th the second cut
ting was ready and appeared to be
about one-half alfalfa. Since the last
last cutting it has started off finely
and there is a larger proportion of
alfalfa to be than before.
L have no positive reason why
the plat seeded with clover should
thrive and the other fail absolutely.
We can draw many conclusions, pure
ly imaginative as to fact. My idea is,
that the clover was a favorable nurse
crop, sheltered the young alfalfa,
assisted in the incubation, smother
ed down weeds and grass, kept the
soil moist and generally aided and
abetted in the growth or the alfal-
IA"
This man was Virginian and the
writer would like to have the expe-
rlence of some Mississippian who
! has tried nurse crop for alfalfa.
Let your experience be known for the
benefit of all the people.

TO MARKET NEW COTTON.
The Farmers Union Can Greatly In
huence Values.

In comprehensive letter on the
cotton situation and the probable
price to be received this fall, Mr..
Johnson, of Meridian, gives the
Farmers Union proper credit for a
power to market the crop sensibly
and hold up the price, makes ne
difference what the yield may be.
Union men should not be d1scour-
aged because they did not get the
maximum of fifteen cents last fall.
1t is generally acknowledged that
they prevented it going as low as
eight cents, which price was tried
for by tn ebears IN the speculation
market. The Union has been worth
millions of dollars to the cotton
growers, and it's days of usefulness
are just beginning. Stand by the I'm
ion and its officials and it will prove
a greater benefit in the future

MISSISSIPPI LIVE STOCK ASSN.
Work Deserves the Support of ali
MiSSisSippians.

Work Deserves the Support of ali
Mississippians.
1t has been suggested that the Mis-
sissippi Live Stock Association hold
its meeting this year at Jackson dur
ing the last days of October so as to
take advantage of the low railroad
rates given for the state fair. This
would give the people of the entire
state an opportunity of attending
the meeting at reasonable cost and
It should prove large and enthusi-
astics one. This is a very important
organization composed of almost 200
OF the principal stock raisers of the
state. 1t was this organization that
suggested the tick eradication work,
appointed committee to draft the
law and its executive committee
spent some time in Jackson during
the legislature to assist in passing it.
Every man interested in live stock
should become member and aid in
the splendid work undertaken. In
stead of 200 members, it should be
fully 500. Write Prof. A. Smith, Ag-
ricultural College and send him 81
for a membership card. The work un-
dertaken is deserving Of the support
of all good citizens and it has just
begun. Let's make this the best or
ganization Of it's kind in the South.
Give this your careful consideration
and act promptly as your interests
dictate.

STATE CROP CONDITIONS.
Much Fertile Delta Land is Not
Planted

While crop conditions in Mississip-
pl are usually good, there are spots
where the crop is reported as being
very poor. Fully 10000 and possibly
$4,000 acres of fine cotton land was
still under water on July 1st, which
precludes the possibility of q crop
on it. This lands is in front of the
levees and is very productive. The
corn crop is larger than ever before
and is fairly good all over the state.

The railroad employees in Missis-

from all accounts the railroad men

himself for many years a railroad

which the Publicity Act provides for,

Not SO very long ago a 1000 total was
considered a remarkable feat for a
five-man bowling team. Nowadays the
LOO mark is being crossed quite FREE
quently. The Kruger bowlers shat
tered all Newark League records last
night on their home alleys, when in a
regularly scheduled match they chalked
up LIS, this being the second highest
score ever rolled in a match in this
city, being seven pins behind tho record
made by the Newark National inter-
state League team.
The Kruegers averaged 1882 for the
series and, needless to say. won all
three games from Forest Hill. They
started in with II total of 1880 in the
opening heat, and then turned in their
record score in the second. SchottN led
with 269, st. John rolled 227, Leick 226
and Dennebaum 215. Coghlan had rolled
PAT in the previous game. Had he saved
that score for the second game the
