Believes Recession mt Hand.
The vigilance committee of the
brewers association believes that the
year just ended marked the height and
the beginning of the recession of the
wave of prohibition, and so reported
today.
In Alabama's reputation of a pro-
hibition amendment to the states con-
stitution the brewers see great hope
of the license principle being applied
in territories now totally dry, and the
committee views with satisfaction the
districts which have swung out of the
dry column.
A resume of conditions through the
states, presented to the convention by
the committee, charges in effect that
prohibition in many states prohibited
nothing at all.

HOW TO KILL NUT GRASS.

The only way I know to kill nut
grass is not to let it show a leaf above
ground This means constant cleaning
off, for it will be up next day, but if
constantly prevented from making
green leaves the roots will die. Nut
grass spreads more from the seeds than
from the roots, and being neglected
late n the season, it fills the soil with
seed, and nothing but constant Wig
lance will eradicate it. I have just
made a garden here from a piece of
land that is full of it, and [ am going
to do just what I advise; clean up ev-
cry shoot every day. Nothing short
of this will answer. Geese penned on
the spots will keep it down, it S said,
but [ have never tried them.-W. F.
Massey, in Starkville Progressive Far
mer and Gazette.

of the soil. 1t endures the hottest
weather and severe drouth, making
its best growth in summer. It is rel
ished by domestic animals, either as
hay or pasture, is highly nutritious,
and is the standard grazing grass in
the cotton states. It is, of course, I'M
suited for short rotations and may be-
come a pest where it seeds freely. Prof
Hunt reports experiments in the gulf
states to sow hairy vetch on Bermuda
grass sod in September, but says that
they met with rather Indifferent sue
cess.-Country Gentleman.
Destroy Bermuda grass7 Why, new
meadows in the Delta yield from two
to three cuttings of not less than two
tons to the acre, of the best hay in
the world t is a sure crop. We had
better increase our Bermuda meadows

WE NEED MORE PASTURES.
Spec. Agt. in Charge.

The first step in starting the work $
to make a good pasture of sufficient
size and quality to furnish abundant
grazing. Two factors control the size
and quality of these farm work ami
mails: ID inheritance, the size of
their ancestors, and (2) feed. Neither
alone can be depended upon to obtain
desired results.
1t is frequently stated that horses
and mules will not grow large in the
South. They frequently do not, but
it s because of a lack of sufficient
feed of the right sort. 1t is not
lack of lime or mineral matter in our
feeds from which to develop bone
either 1t is simply lack of sufficient
feed, properly balanced. If given
enough feed with sufficient protein in
it to properly balance the ration, there
will be plenty of material to produce
all the bone and muscle which the in
heritance of the animal will develop.
The next step TO be taken AFTER pro-
viding real pasture is to make ar
rangements for producing an abund
ance of hay and grain for extra feed
ing Corn and grass hay will not sup
ply the needs in this Inc. Oats and
legume hays must be added, but with
these and cotton seed meal added to
the corn and grass hays, satisfactory
feeding is practicable.
If good pastures are not to be pro-
vided, then an abundance of dry feed,
having sufficient variety and being
capable of forming balanced ration,
must be provided for regular and con-
slant feeding. Not much grain feed
ing will be required for mares and

ALFALFA AND MILK.

VIII alfalfa fed to cows give the
milk bad taste, is a question that has
been asked. The Country Gentleman,
an agricultural publication, gives the
following opinion:
So far as we know or have been able
to learn, alfalfa, either green or in
the form of hay, imparts no disagree
able flavor to milk or butter. This
does not mean, of course, if fed ex-
clusively, or in very large quantities,
It would not derange a cows diges-
ton so that unfavorable results would
follow.

RAISE COWPEA HAY FOR THE
MILK COWS.

1t is my firm conviction that it
would be cheaper to pay $25 ton for
cowpea hay than to pay Sc ton for
cotton seed hulls for milk production
When the farmer has cowpea hay, the
best way to supplement this would be
to feed a ration consisting of one
third cotton seed meal, one-third corn
meal and one-third wheat bran, feed
ing this grain in proportion of one
pound of grain to about four or five
pounds of milk In case the roughage
consists of corn slower, corn fodder or
other poorer classes of roughage, grain
should be fed at about the rate of
one pound to-. three pounds of milk

RICE CULTURE PROFITABLE

The United States Department of
griculture-Bureau of Plant Industry
Washington, Oct. Is, 1909.
Hon. Chas. Scott.
Rosedale, Miss,
Dear Sir:
A full report of the rice experiment
tried on your land at SCOTS Station
this season has been sent to me-
While I am gratifed, am not at all
surprised at the result. The report,
which is absolutely reliable, shows
that your land made 2515 barrels of
rice per acre on the entire tract of
twenty acres, without the use of any
fertilizer. The tract was in charge
of an experienced farmer, but man
who was totally unfamiliar with MAX
ing rice. He received his instruction
from this office. This was done pur-
posely to show that any man can grow
rice if he will follow instructions.
Samples of rice sent to S. Locke
Breaux of New Orleans were examin-
ed by him and priced at $500 to 1925
for milling purposes.
The cost of making this crop was
considerably more than would Ordinar'
lily be the case, because it took just as
much labor from uperintendance and
the cost of watering was nearly as
much as if the tract had been 200
acres. The gross returne from the
tract, per acre, if sold for milling
purposes, would be $1O2. In addition
to this, there would be nearly two
tons of rice straw, for feeding purpos-
es worth $40, making the gross re-
turns per acre $112. The average cost
of producing a crop of rice for milling
purposes amounts to about 500 per
acre. [ have purpOsely omitted the
actual cost of making this crop, be-
cause good many expenses were in
Cured which would ordinarily be
avoided, especially the cost of a man
to superintend the crop. I do not see,
why any planter in the Delta could
not make as much rice per acre as
this crop shows, at least for the first
season. 251a barrels is considerably
more than an average crop, and I
would not -~hold out the inducement
that that would be an average for
number of years but it shows possible
because the crop was not
handled by an expert. The man in
charge simply followed instructions
such as are open to all.
Respectfully yours,
S. A KNAPP,
Spec. Agt. in Charge.

the pasture be as poor as the usual
Southern pasture, or if it become short
at any time, extra feeding must be re
sorted to. In such case silage for the

roughage. This feeding question and
the arranging for it, is the most i'm

FIGHTING ERMUDA GRASS.

Ed Country Gentleman: I have tried
for five years to eradicat scutch grass.
I am on a dairy farm where the ques
ton of proteinous feed is important.
I have solved this question by sow
ing a bushel and half of hairy vetch
to the acre on the scutch grass sod
and then cutaway harrow it; SOW in
September. Let some dairymen try it,
and the following spring watch the re
suits. This makes quick feed in the
spring and the best of fodder if cut
just as the pods begin to form.
