THE PARTING

The time is here when the
boy and girl must go away to
school-an anxious time it is
with parents as well as with the
pupils, particularly if it is the
first year away.
College life is entierly differ
ent now from what it was years
ago, when the fathers and
mothers of the youngsters of
day, were students-not only
customs but curricala and stand
ards have az changed, let us
hope for the better.
These days great attention
and much time must be given
to athletic, societies, clubs etc,
as an important part of college
life. There has been created
what the college people are
pleased to designate college
atmosphere" land life and
environment" to which every new
student must adjust himself"
which adjusting act is accom-
plished at the cost, generally of
the first years study to say moth
ing of money and time lost. 1t
may be all right, but it looks to
a calm unprecedented observer
that a little more activity of
brain, and head and little less
of muscles and heels would add
to the worth and value of the
scholarship of the future.

writer knows not its location.
And it getting worse and worse
every day. Leave it alone anoth-
er winter and the street will be
in as bad condition as an old
country pike, and cost three or
five times more to put in shape
than if made now. Main Street,
from one end to the other, is in
miserable shape. 1t has never
been properly built, certainly
not for the past twenty years.
1t has been patched and patched
until the original can not be re-
cognized. The town has been
entirely, too timid or stingy
about spending a little money.
If the town authorities, years
ago, had looked few inches
ahead of their noses and issued
bonds or otherwise raised money
which could have easily been
done, and built a water and
sewerage system and permanent
streets, there would have been
no such conditions existing as is
complained of now. Instead, it
has been the purchase or lease
of a little spring here, little
seep there at large expense, and
no longer than last week a num-
Der of citizens of this town were
unable to use the water from
their hydrants. The street have
been patched and patched. Then
the sergeant was ordered to
wash off what little dirt there
was on the macadam, which was
done time and again, until the
rockwork was laid bare, and
this process is repeated now and
then still. There was a long,
hard fight to get rid of the old
plank walks in this town. The
people said the cost would break
us up" Well, the plank walk is
gone, displaced by splendid
granolithic, and we venture the
guess that not one citizen in ten
knows whether the walks are
paid for or not, nor how much
extra tax the walks have cost.
So, the streets and water works
will put in proper shape some
day, but the longer the work is
put off the greater the cost will
be Will the new council be
penny wise and poundfoolish'
or the reverse?

ALFALFA
Alfalfa should be grown
on every farm. Make
a beginning-start noSo.
ALFALFA ENRlcHEs THE LAND
Besides Producing More Abundant
Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food
to the Soil for the Use OF
Other Crops.

Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots
of the alfalfa plant penetrate IL to
35 feet into the soil-far beyond the
reach of corn, wheat, oats and
other shallow roofing plants. In
this way potash, phosphorus and 9TH
er elements of plant food are drawn
up from below through the roots OF
the alfalfa plant and stored In the
upper soil for the use of other crops.
The experiment set forth in the &C

Alfalfa in The Spring

Some of our readers who also
read Northern agricultural pap
ers ask us about growing alfalfa
in the spring, and also about
sowing it with nurse crops like
oats, barley, or wheat.
All things considered, there is
little doubt that the fall-Sept-
ember | to October 15--is the
best period for sowing alfalfa in
the South. Good results may be
sometimes secured from spring
seeding, but it is generally to
be discouraged and should only
be practiced when fall seeding
is impracticable. 1t should never
be sowed with nurse crops, in
the South.

sod yielded 61.5 bushels of wheat per
acre. as compared with AZ bushels on
timothy sod
Barley yielded 80 bushels per acre
on alfalfa sod. and only 20 bushels on
timothy sod. Canada Is not a corn
country, yet the experiments show
similar results. Alfalfa sod yielded
~ bushels per acre of corn, as COM
pared with IS bushels on timothy sod.
This is only one of many such expert
mcnts which give the same results.

crop.

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP.
Per Acre Value Five Times More
Than Clover-Some Wisconsin
Census Figures Which Talk
for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census of the
hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew
5000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged
IS tons per acre for the entire state.
and the average acre value of the
crop was S31.00. During the same
year the combined acreage of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre,
valued at S14.00. 1t costs no more to
grow an acre Of alfalfa than it does
to grow an acre OF timothy or clover.
The average cost of growing an acre
of clover or timothy is approximately
$1,000. Thus the farmer would clear
400 per acre in growing these crops,
whereas If he grew alfalfa he would
make n profit Of S21.00 per acre, or

KANSAS ON HER KNEES

During the recent drought in
Kansas, Bishop Hennessy, of the
Roman Catholic church, issued
an order that in all the Catholic
churches in his Diocese, earnest
prayers be made on a certain
day, for rain.
Governor Hodges, of that
state, gave out the statement,
that while he was a believer in
prayer he did not believe in pray
ing for rain in the time of
drought, nor in a time of flood,
and he has many followers in
the country generally, who hold
that the transforms, floods, and
droughts are all governed by GER
tain laws which are memorable
and Interchangeable, and that any
change in these laws would
work serious results and great
harm in many instances. Zone
farmer" the skeptic says, wants
rain on his burning corn and
grass. his neighbor prays for con-
tinued sunshine in order that he
may house his grain or thresh it.
Rain is the very thing he does
not want at the very time his
neighbor is seeking it." And so,
there is a conflict of prayers.
Which prayer will be answered?
In Virginia as used to be the
custom in times of drought. for
the Methodist and Baptist
churches to have "fast days"
and pray for rain. They would
meet in their respective churches
and spend the day in worship
and prayer for rain. Many
wonderful instances were re-
corded of direct answers to these
simple supplications - answers
entirely satisfactory to these
devout. and long since vanished
class of believers in the simple
declaration of scripture, that
whatsoever We ask in my name,
believing. it shall be done unto
YOU" eye know not what to
PtoJ LII e1o yC OuBuC is DIS True
of all of us as of those to whom
The Master spoke the words, and
like the distressed people of
Kansas, when troubles come we
naturally Cry out in prayer for
relief to a Higher Power, with
out waiting to settle theological
puzzles. And who will venture
to say that these earnest appeals
are not answered? The Great
Father, who is always more
ready Ito give good gifts" to us
than we are to give good gifts
to our own children, will as he
sees best and knows best, an

Kansas has not heretofore
been noted for her piety, but
rather the opposite perhaps, and
if the recent drought brought
her to her knees this in itself
was an efficient answer to her
cry.

Crockett Explains

The report of what happened
at Russell court, published in
your paper of the Bird is 80 gross
ly unfair and so absolutely UNI
true that | am constrained to
write you a line and give the
facts and ask you that you give
this letter the same publicity you
have given the article in regard
to the indictments against me
and the disposition of the same.
First, you state that | was in
dicted for using money illegally
to purchase votes for Mr.. Slemp.
That is not true. The charge
against me was that l had fur
nished the chairman and the
members of the Republican
county committee money for
which they were to conduct a
legitimate campaign. This is the
charge to which | confessed,
and stated that l had no idea
that it was a violation Of the law
for me to do this. The Common
wealth's attorney also stated in
open court that until these cases
came before him he did not know
that my acts constituted a VOL
alton of the law. If | have been
correctly advised no money was
used to purchase votes, but the
view of the court on the law,
constituting the Barksdale act,
section 145a of the code of Vir-
ginia, was that money for any
other purpose than the three
specifically named in sub section
of the act referred to was illegal
and in violation of said act.
Now as to the court being sar-
castle in his statemnts, of course,
this is simply the opinion of
your correspondent and is as
nearly correct as anything else
he stated. The fact is that the
court was anything else but sar-
castle, and plainly and solemnly
stated that in view of the state
ments that | had made he had
decided to impose a fine in one
case and the costs in the other
nine and dismiss them, as he
accepted my statement as true.
Otherwise he would have felt
constrained to impose a jail sen.
tence. | am satisfied that both
the court and the Common.
wealth's attorney will bear me
out that this is a fair statement
of the case.
Now, as to the last clause o1
your article, you state that the
evidence was practically con
clusiv that | had in the mos
barefaced way and in utter dis.
regard of the agreement between
the parties Intentionally violated
the law. There w as no evidence
taken in this case and of course
your correspondent does mo-
know what the evidence will
show, and when he says that
Intentionally violated the law he
simply states what he knows tc
be Il wilful falsehood and would
resort to writing falsehoods fol
a living.
| | assume that he also thinks
| that the men who contributed
$3.50. 90 to the Democratic com
mittee in the county wilfully
violated the law, but were no.

before the grand jury and there
