'aThe widespread agitation for good roads in Alabama is having wonderful effect on the people," said H. K. Miner of Washington county, who spent part of this week with friends and relatives in Birmingham. MT Milner Is mem- Der of the executive committee of the Alabama Good Roads association and one of the most active workers in the state along this line.
 "As as evidence of the aroused inter- est of the people a large number of the citizens of Washington county recently in petition asked me as a member of the executive committee of the association to call meeting in Washington county to discuss ways and means of improving the roads in that county continued Mr. Miner.
 T am glad that such a call came from the people themselves. It will be more effective than if had called the meet ing on my own initiative.
 "Of course I will arrange for the meet ing as soon as l return to the county. The. people are really interested in the improvement of the public highways and some definite steps in this direction will be taken at once.
 ''Washington county is one of the most promising in the state for the develop ment of intensive and profitable farming and truck-growing, and nothing will help the cause more than good roads"

CROP ROTATION.

Almost all farmers change the
crops on some OF their fields every
1 year, but comparatively few use a
system based on the latest knowledge
of the handling of soils, crops, stock
and plant diseases and inescts. 1t
is only when this knowledge is made
| use of in the planning of a cropping
system that the greatest net returns
per acre may be expected.
When there is a regular arrange
ment of crops on farm in such a
manner that the soil fertility is main
tanned and there is a large average
net return for a long series of years,
the arrangement Is spoken of as a
crop rotation.
No two crops have just the same
effect on the soil. the same develop
| ment of root system, nor take the
| same amounts of food elements from
| the soil. Several classifications are
| made of field crops based on the
characters of the plants, their effect
| on the soil and the method of raising
them One classification Is according
to the length of the root system.
Alfalfa, clover and some of the
root crops and native prairie grasses
have long. deep-penetrating root sys-
TENS which enable them to get food
and moisture from the subsoil much
below the reach of ordinary root sys-
TENS. When such plants become es-
tablished they are able as rule to
withstand considerably more drought
than the shallower rooted plants.
Crops like barley, milo, turnips and
many of the cultivated grasses are
shallow rooted. On this account they
often decrease the fertility and mois-
ture content of the surface soil much
faster than the deeper rooted crops.
In spite of its shallow root system.
milo is able to withstand severe
, drought. This is due largely to its
great ability TO make use of what wa
ter there is in the soil and it will
reduce the water content lower than
will other field crops. 1t is also able
to remain dormant for long periods
of time, and will start in and grow
as soon as 1t gets moisture.
Among the moderately deep rooted
plants are oats, corn, wheat and some
of the cultivated grasses.
BY alternating these three classes
of crops on the land much better re-
suits will follow than by raising one
kind continuously, since the com
bined root systems of the three Will
penetrate a larger area of the soil
which results in a more economical
utilization of plant food and soil
moisture.
The soil will be left in better ply
steal and chemical condition and the
crop yields will be larger.

TWELVE MEN LOSE LIVES
EVERY DAY IN COAL MINES
Especial to The sentinel. ]

Washington, June According
to officials of the United States Geo
logical survey, which has the super
vision of coal mines throughout the
country, twelve men lose their lives
in coal mines throughout the United
States daily. while the number of in
jured is unknown but appalling.
These figures that tell a story of
incredulous horror are official, and as
result the American National Red
Cross society has inaugurated and is
successfully conducting a campaign
to lessen accidents in the coal fields.
Since the first of the year, when
the Red Cross osciety took up the
task, DR.. Nj. j. Shields of Scranton,
Pa, an officer in the Medical Reserve
corps of the army, has been visiting
the coal fields and instructing the
miners in the art of rendering effic-
lent aid to those who are injured. He
has visited the fields of western
Pennsylvania and Oklahoma and is
now in Alabama. During the three
months that he has been at his task
he has instructed 100000 miners in
the work of rendering first aid to the
injured. Those who have received
instructions are distributed among
other miners when at work. One of
the coal mining companies TALL of

ton of their mem states that since

Carrying out still further the idea
OF instructing the working classes
who are liable to injury in the rend-

start a campaign of education among
the railroad workers of the country

ing kind. Far from 1t, indeed, for
many's the time she d come out to the
kitchen when / was bringing in the
wood and she'd pass the time of day
with me and maybe sit and talk.
MIR Lincoln kept another man on
the place. William O'Hara. my
brother-in-law, was the man, and the
hired girl was his sister, Johanna.
William and | divided the work. He
did some of the driving. but did the
most of it, Mrs. Lincoln used to ike
my driving best.
You're careful driver, William,
she'd say sometimes when she'd be
getting out of the carriage. So Will
liam did some OF the gardening and
sometimes he'd help in the house.
There was no such thing as coal
being burnt in those days in Spring
field, SO in the winter time we were
kept busy filling the stoves with wood
and splitting big logs for the fire
places. Mr.. Lincoln always liked all
the rooms to be nice and warm, for
he often brought company home. He
was very fond of having his friends
around him and they were mostly
lawyers.
Nearly every day | used to hitch
up the single rig and drive down to
the courthouse to call for Mr.. Lin
coin. He was terribly hard worker
and many's the time in the winter
that l was pretty nearly frozen wait
ing for him. At last he'd come rush
ing out and say. We'll. William. you
must be near frozen And then he'd
give me a dollar and say, Buy your
self a cigar.
Yes. Mr.. Lincoln was the right
sort. and | never heard cross word
out of him. He wasn't much of d
churchgoer and he never talked much
about religion. but he lived right.
never heard him say mean thing OF
anyone.
"Old Governor Yates. receiver oi
the Chicago & Alton road, which was
then called the Great Western" con
tinued the old coachman, was s
great friend of Mr.. Lincoln's. Otter
in the spring and summer he'd come
home from the courthouse with him
and after supper I'd hitch up the pail
and take them with Mrs. Lincoln anC
Robert and Tad, the two boys, out fol-
n drive.
THE boys were just little feller'
and regular out and out kids. Some
tlI es when they'd come out to the
barn to see the horses their ma woulC
come after them or send Johanna fol
them.
