HIGH PRICES.
Fancy Stock May Sell as High as so
Cents Per Pound.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-A vital re-
suit of the ord-breaking heat in
Kansas, Oklahoma and the South
west became apparent today when
a representative of one of the
largest packing houses in the
country predicted that the retail
price of beef will go to unheard-
of prices.
"Forty cents a pound tor the
choice cuts seems a certainty, As.
cents is probability and even so
cents a possibility before spring, "
declared a packers representative.
"The killing drought in
Kansas and the Southwest has de-
prived the cattle-raisinp sections
of feed for their stock. Fodder
remains, but the corn itself, nee
essary to fatten the steers for
market, will have to be shipped
into whole sections of country that
are naturally grain exporters at an
expense that precIudes the idea of
any great profit-making by the
cattle raisers at anything near the
present prices"
For ten days a steady rush of
cattle to the big live stock markets
of the Middle West has been in
progress. A great cattle short
age is certainty within few
months, stockmen declare.

Land that should be in peas, les.

What waste of time, toll, mon.

In urging the merits of crimson
clover, I do not mean to let up on
peas. Sow peas for meadow and
lay by all corn in peas, not less
ever than a bushel to the acre.
When the corn is pulled and the
peas picked and vines cut or stock
run on them, then turn stalks and
vines under, sow oats, rye or bar

Harrow it in lightly with section

Clover seed should never be
sowed on fresh, loose, unpacked
ground. The result will be poor

the land and every one but your
self. On the other hand the seed
should always be covered.
Unless you SOW crimson clover

CRIMSON CLOVER.
Would Rebuild Our Worn Out Lands.
Many Do Not Appreciate
Its Value.
Editor Reveille:

Editor Reveille:
For years our people have agreed
that this was by nature a cotton
country NOT a corn country.
When the boil weevil made it no
longer a cotton country and corn
was put in best land and worked
well, the weld was surprise. The
corn crop had too generally been
pitched on land unsuited, left over
srom acreage culled for couon
Such soils were more often
leached out by rains of winter and
had very little of nitrogen or of
humus. Lately our corn club boys
have supplied these and worked
their crops properly and demon
strated that the south is the best
corn country in the U. S.
Crimson clover will perhaps
more quickly than any other le-
gume restore the fertility of our
soils, thus enabling US to. produce
large crops where we produce
small ones; to produce crops at a
good profit instead of small one
or at a loss.
As l travel over the county and
see foolish men here and there

over lands that cannot grow more
than FIVE bushels of corn per acre,
