WHEN TO CUT YOUR HAY.
Some Pointers For Growers of Tim

large amounts are to be handled 1t Is
better economy to place 1t in NOW

Glover is best cut when It is In full

of drought and grasshoppers during

failure on the part of some of the CO.

suits secured by those who did get a
stand brought out the following con

to our truck growers from insect

Value of Cow Peas.

Mr.. C. S. Templeman, who is a
very enthusiastic Farmers Institute
promoter, and a farmer willing to

DDS of farming, stated Saturday that
when he laid his corn by a few days
ago he planted Is acres of it in COW
peas. something he said he learned
at the Institute held here last fall.
In planting your corn ground in
COW peas it is claimed that you can
raise corn year after year on the
same piece of ground; each year the
land gets better. The other advan-
tage in sowing COW peas is that it
makes fine feed and is especially
good for the fattening of hogs.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
OFFICIALLY ANSWERED
By Attorney General Logan
Concerning the Coming
State Primary.

Several important questions hav.
ing been raised recently in regard
to voting in the coming primary
election, some questions have been
asked the Attorney General at
Frankfort, and following is his re-
ply:
In yours OF the 25th you sub
init several questions to this de-
partment in relation to the primary
election law:
First-Have any known Social
lists, where there is no registration,
the right to vote in the primary of
August I'd?
In answer ] would state that a
Socialist is not eligible to vote in
the primary. No one can vote in
the primary election except those
who are members of the political
parties that cast as much as 20 per
cent of the total vote of the State
in the last election.
SecOHu-Can the OmcerS OF an
election deliver a Democratic ballot
to a known Republican?
Answering this question, beg to
advise you that no voter has a right
to vote any ticket or for any candi-
dates except for the candidates of
the party to which he belongs. The
officers of an election should not de-
liver p Democratic ballot to a
known Republican.
Third-When a Democrat pre-
sents himself to vote and is chal-
lenged, what election officer deter
mines his eligibility
Replying to this question, | beg
to advise you that his right to vote
would be determined by the full
Board of Election officers exactly in
the same manner as the right of a
man to vote is determined in the
general election.

Kissing.

The Arabians shake hands six or
eight times. Once is not enough.
Should, however, they be persons
of distinction, they embrace and
kiss their own hands. In Turkey
the greeting is to place the hand
upon the breast, and bow, which is
both graceful and appropriate. In
Burmah, when a man meets a wo-
man, he puts his nose and mouth
close to her cheek and draws a
long breath, as if inhaling a deli
cious perfume, but, strange to say
he does not kiss her cheek. A
man is greeted in exactly the same
way.
