TEN OF SEVENTEEN
CANDIDATES PASS

In a report received this morning by
l.. A. Handley. superintendent of mail
carriers, it was announced that ten of
the seventeen candidates were success
full in the last civil service examination
to secure carriers aud clerks for the
Richmond ONCE.
One of the male applicants for gov
ernmentai work here, led the list with
d remarkably high average of 91.9.
Seven men secured grades above the
passing mark of 20 pct. while the best
of the three successful women candi-
dates had an average hardly better
than 80. Superintendent Handley is
we'll pleased with the general showing
made by the candidates, but is at a
less to account for the fact ttat for the
first time women were bested in the
test
The ten successful candidates will
comprise a waiting list to be drawn
upon by Postmaster F.. M. Haas as va
capcies exist in the service during the
year.

INCREASE ALFALFA ACREAGE
ON DRAINED AND PRAIRIE LANDS
PROVES A VALUABLE CROP.
As Acreage Increases Values Go Up
When Rotation Is More Widely
Understood, Experts Declare,
A Greater Good Will
Result.

Agricultural College.-There are two
sections in Mississippi where alfalfa
glows successfully: On the well drain
ed buckshot lands in the Yazoo-Missis
sippi delta and on the black prairie
lands i'm Northeast Mississippi including
the counties of Lee, Chickasaw, Clay,
Monroe, Lowndes, Oktibbeha and Noxu-
bee. There are also other counties with
small areas of prairie soil adapted to
the growth of alfalfa. There are at
present 10000 acres in alfalfa i'll the
northeast prairie section. The alfalfa
area is being gradually increased year
by year. There are other large areas
in the state where alfalfa could be sue
| cessfully grown if it were not for crab
grass.
This grass grows very vigorously in
all of our soils except the heavy lime
lands, and will choke or smother Out
alfalfa in one or two years, generally
the first year from seeding. 1t is only
within the last ten years that alfalfa
has become a regular field farm croI
in the prairie section.
Twelve to fifteen years ago idpu II
this section was selling at from %12 t.
SIS per acre; it is now selling at iron
$40 to SIS per acre. So far there ma
been very little effort to use alfalfa !
a systematic rotation. The little dat
which we have ueen able to collect il
dictate that after the land has been
alfalfa for several years that othe
crops following the alfalfa will be il
creased from 25 per cent to so per cen
in yield.
The cost of preparing land, seedin
and bringing the crop to the first Gu
, ting will be from Sc to $40 per acre
The hay sold this season for from VI
I to $50 per ton, f. o. b. the producer
station. 1t rarely sells for less tha
S14 per ton and this season the bu
4 of the crop was sold for SIG.
