IMPROVING OUR LAND
Only by Experimenting Can One
Tell What Is Needed.
Deep and Thorough Flowing, Good
Tillage and Filming Of Soil and
Short Rotation Of Legume Crops
and Fertilizer Needed.

(By w. F. Massey
Proper use of fertilizers for the i'm
provement of the soil of necessity in |
wolves a iudicious rotation of crops,
In which the humus-naking, forage,
legume crops are brought frequently
on the land. 1t is often said that the
south needs grass. We need legume
forage worse than grass. The won
derful capacity of our soils and eli
mate for the production of these crops
that feed the stock while feeding the
soil indicates the line of improvement
that should be adopted. With a stand
ing pasture of Bermuda grass, the
finest pasture grass in the world, we
need not attempt to grow grass on our
fields, but get the finest hay from the
cowpea, soy bean and other legume
crops, that will enable us to feed cat
tie economically and get a benefit to
our soil by the growing Of the crop.
Then by feeding the forage we can
recover the larger part Of the fertil-
izer value of the crop. 1t is only in
the first start, in the improvement of
q worn piece of land, that 1t can pay
the farmer to return tho whole growth
of the legume to the soil, for when
the land is capable of producing a ton
or two tons of pea-vine hay per acre
its feeding value is too great to make
1t pay to use 1t as a direct
when we can make a profit from the
animals fed and get a large part o.
the manurial value back on the land

GOULD INTERESTS IN CONTROL.
New Orleans Great Northern Is In Hands
of That Great system.


Jackson.-That the Gould interests
have acquired the New Orleans Great
Northern road is a belief made rather
conclusive by changes that have recently
taken place on the system.
Mr.. N. G. Pearsall, general manager Of
the system, who has been the active
director OF the property since its infancy,
even before the road was acquired by the
Goodyear interests, has rendered his res
ignation to become general superintend-
ent OF the Texas & Pacific road, a part
of the Could system.
l. H. Howard, formerly engineer OF
maintenance, will become general man
ager, succeeding Mr.. Pearsall.
This change is made all the more sig
nificant by reason of the fact that Vice
President Fl. I. Miller, who took charge
Of the New Orleans Great Northern sew
eral months ago, was recently elected
vice-president Of the Missouri Pacific sys
tenn, but, Notwithstanding this election
it is stated that he will continue as vice
president of the New Orleans Grea
Northern, holding positions with boil
companies.
There has been no election to fill tn
vacancy recently caused by the death Q
President G. w. Goodyear, but it is stat
ed that this place will be filled by tn
board of directors at their June NEE
ing, and it is generally believed ths
some Missouri Pacific official, or otht
person connected with the Gould int
!, ssts, will be elected to the place.

Of Country Disappointed Parents

There were three boys in our fam
fly out In Ashland county, Ohio" said
Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup OF
Charleston, w. Va, at the Willard
hotel, land our good old Lutheran
parents decided that one OF the rhree
should be a preacher.
"Peter, tho first born, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think Of some other
vocation. Well. when Peter left col
lege he told father and mother that
he guessed the church could get
along without him, as he preferred
the law. Then I was picked for the
pulpit, and after q term in college my
parents we're shocked to learn that
| had entered a business house far
from home.
That meant the selection OF Ben,
the youngest, for the church, and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought 1t wisest to follow
the example of Peter and enter the
legal profession. There were no Other
boys, SO what could father anc
mother do but exclaim, The Lords
will be done and give US each
parental blessing.
years after, when brother Pete
reached the federal bench and Bel
achieved distinction on the Pacih'
coast, our parents seemed reconcile'
to the loss sustained by the pulpit
