early in October and by windrowing
it carefully when cold weather comes,
covering with leaves and trash to pro-
tect it, it can be used continuously
from October 10 May.
Soil Building Crops.
First in rank as soil builder is
the velvet bean, because of its exceo-
tional yield per acre and its ability 10
collect the free nitrogen of the air on
its roots in the form of noduIes. II
is estimated that a crop of velvet
beans after the beans are picked and
the crop grazed by live stock and
piowed under in the fall is worth at
least $40 per acre for the nitrogen and
humus it stores in the sol! This c.oD
should always follow crop that de-
pletes the soil, such as corn. cane
sweet potatoes, etc.
CowpeaS are another soil builder
not only from their ability to collect
nitrogen on the roots, but from their
deep roofing habit, giving the soil an
improved mechanical condition as wei
as their fertilizing results But where
cowpeas are grown in the grove or
orchard the root-knot resistant varie-
ties should be used. The iron and
brabham are the two best known for
Beggarweed is also good for soil
building purposes and being a self
seeder, after it once gets a start is to
be recommended in this class.
Soy beans ana peanuts are also
nitrogen gatherers and when hogs are
part of the farm products these crops
serve a double purpose.
Mexican clover is also cIassed
among the soil-builders and while it
is not a legume, its roots run very
deep and open UP the subsoiI. and if
the crop is plowed under in the fall
and used for humus production. the
results viii be very satisfa Glory
Cover Crops.
In general practice the Florida
farmer does not pay much attention
to cover crops, which means CROPS
grown for soil cover purposes in the
winter and fed in the green state or
plowed under early in the spring. This
is a good method along the lines of
sell building and is going to become
more general as we come to under
stand improved farming methods The
best crops for this purpose are rye
crimson clover and hairy vetch The
last two being legumes ar especially
to be reconm ended. Buckwheat sown
In October can be used for this pur-
pose in December when an early spring
crop is wanted on the same land. Rape
if sown thick in October can be used
in January and February for soiling
purposes or grazed off by hogs or
live stock to food advantage before
blowing under in the early spring. Our
open, sandy lands can be brought very
readily into a high state of crop pro-
ducers If we practice the growing of
these crops in winter, but along this

ing them under before the first of
March. If delayed later and warm
weather prevails, the blowing under
of a heavy crop of green material
may produce humic acid in the soil,
which is detrimental TO bacterial life
and in that case blowing under a cover
crop may omore harm than good.

Little publicity has been given to the
praiseworthy work which is being done
by trust companies in this city and in
fact throughout the country, not only
in helping individual investors to make
safe and profitable investments, but
likewise in administering estates, or as
executor and trustee under wills where
large proportions of estates left by the
makers of wills for their families, con-
sist of bonds and stocks. 1t is only
within recent years, and in response to
clearly defined public demand. that
trust companies have established sep
arate bond departments, managed by an
expert in bond values and with a tram
ed staff of appraisers. statisticians and
attorneys at their command.
Prior to 1900 practically all of the
bonds, stocks, and securities offered the
public by corporations. public service Or
ganizations or municipalities were financed
and distributed through private banking
houses. But with the enormous increase
in the volume of such issues. now
amounting to an average of over s1g5,-
10000 a month, and because of the
greater protection required for the ell
ents of banks and trust companies, II
has become necessary for trust compa-
ries especially in the larger cities, to
organize special bond departments. A
recent official report of the Comptroller
of the Currency at Washington shows
that national banks of the country alone
hold over 81. 600. 900 worth Of bonds for
investment other than government bonds.

The Washington Clearing House has
taken I'D the matter Of a clearing house

The question was thoroughly consld-
cred from every phase and angle oy

and the debate waXed warm and decided
ly interesting.
Having reached a conclusion, an offer
was made to the examiner of Balti-
more and the District of Columbia banks
on the staff of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
II wasn't a salary that might be ex-
pected to tempt executive ability OF the
highest order, and yet It was fairly
good proposition, as a side line TO reg
ular position that would have required
but a little clerical work in addition to
the regular examination.
II was not an inducement, and the
matter was permitted to slumber, an
official Of the association was charged
with the duty of conducting further ne
gotiations with other aspiring Candi-
dates. but there the matter apparently
rested.

what the children had observed and
how they were impressed. The sub
ject at the moment was the exquisite
head Of Aphrodite, one of the chief
treasures of the museum. A little boy
who frantically waved his hand was
called upon. He announced triumph
