Pointers ab0lt Cover Crops.

Pointers Ab0at Cover Crops.
 What is cover crop? A cover crop is crop of grass that will grow during the late fall. winter and early spring. and cover the land and keep the rains from wash ing the soil and teaching of the same, and exhausting the plant food contained in the soil. A eoV- CT crop is good thing. and will pay we'll as protection to the land.
 However, a good cover crop will pay well as pasturage grass and serve two purposes. 1 have beenHrg- ing the farmers to look after their grass and hay crops this year. You may have done so. If you have you are fortunate for hay goes a long way as feed, and Iced is gong to be high next year. Arkansas prairie hay IS quoted on the market now at $lO per ton: Oklahoma prairie hay at $lz: alfalfa at $lo and wheat bran and corn chops at from $29 to S33 per ton So the hay crop has been and is an important one in Arkansas. hope the farm ersofA. kansas have saved good hay crops and will have feed for their stock. It certainly is hard on a cotton raiser to have to give up part of the money made in raising cotton for hay and stock food. be- cause he will be paying more than it would have cost him to raise 1t But cotton has hold on the peo. pie and 1t IS hard to break 1t loose
 As to a cover crop. it will be needed for the stock this winter. There are several good eovar crops. Bur clover is one of the best. It mixes well with bermuda. and will die out ifrthe spring about the time the latter comes out strong, thus making by this combination almost a continuous pasture. Crimson clover and vetch are fine. The latter makes better cover crop and the former makes a better winter pasture and soil builder. Rye makes good cover crop and winter pasture. Rape makes a good winter pasture for hogs, but is not legume and does not store nitrogen like the others. Let me urge you to try some of these winter crops. anG give the hogs. cattle and other stock the benefit. Good pastures. hay crops, forage and live stock pay far better than raising cotton or any other staple crop, and will in addition build up the soil on the farm and make good farms out of bad ones. You can plant rye. bur clover or veteh be- tween the cotton rows and make a good winter pasture ard cover crop. Of course it is better to properly prepare a seed bed and SOW it in the open, and would give you better results.
 hope the Arkansas farmers will give attention to alfalfa this season. It will grow in almost any of the soils we have. Prepare the land we'll and SOW plenty of seed. AL falfa will produce better results than any other crop we can grow in the State hope you will m ke an extra effort to get start, if it is not more than an acre.
 Begin early this fall to prepare for next years crops. Get. your land in shape to break this fall, and when you break your land, try blowing it about two inches deeper than it was plowed last year. It will make good bed for holding moisture next year.

JUDGE LANE AGAINST
VICE COMMISSION
Social Workers Write City
Commissioner Advocating
Creation of Body

The social workers of Birmingham indi-
Gated to the. commission yesterday that
vice commission should be created here
and made that wish known to the
commission. The social workers want
the problem studied and corrected.
The WORKERS penned a note to the COM
| mission to that effect, which brought from
| Commissioner A. O. Lane, head OF the
! department of justice. perhaps the strong
est informal statement he ever made in
connection with the reform movements
in this community.
I IF We are not capab.e of running this
city, declared Judge Lane, put us out
and get some men who are competent i
am unalterably opposed to the vice COM
mission 1t is absolutely useless and
fad possessed by some highly imaginative
persons This city is in good shape. do
not say that we have no vice here, be-
cause we have enough However, all
cities have vice and will continue TO nave
it as long as the world stands. This vice
commission in the hands of the social
workers would be of incalculahle harm
We are expressly prohibited in the com
mission act from allowing politics to en-
ter the city government
Commissioner Weatherly would not
comment upon the proposed vice commits
sion except to say II am not in favor of
telling anyone in advance that we intend
to decide their case against them. The
whole spirit of commission rule contem-
plates tolerance Let the proposed vice
commission people have a hearing | do
not mean to say that l am inclined TO
favor this affair. as it appears TO be
fad" \
President Exum did not comment upon
the movement.

about 32 years of age. He is survived
by a widow and two children who live

Owens, the Well known physician of Dora,
had been drowned with Mr.. Morgan
proved to be mistake
AS soon as the news of the accident
reached Littleton three searching parties
were organized to drag Cane creek Tor
the bodies Deputy Sheriff Dave Kenny
brook took general charge of the opera
tions. No boats were obtainable and the
searchers constructed RATS out of such
material as could be obtained.
After hours of search the body of Mr.
Owens was found about O'Clock. He
was pinned under the buggy unable to
move. There was no evidence of any
struggle Ten minutes later Mr. Nor
gans body was discovered near that of
Mr.. Owens 1t was evident that he had
made a desperate fight for life. The side
of his face was Scared by brambles
among which he had fought in vain to
save his life.
The body of the horse entansled in the
harness was found close to the bodies
of the two men.

do away with the deadly similarity
that is so likely to take hold of all
such events. give new touches to ev-
erything and still have genuine fair
such as we never have had
The racing feature this fall is go-
ing to be one of our most popular
drawing cards Since we decided upon
the matter some few weeks ago we
have been constantly hearing express
sions Of congraulation. In this connec-
ton we are working out a scheme
which viii insure some of the best
and highest class horses of the north
and east being at the Alabama fair
for racing and show purposes. This is
the system of unity which We are
forming with other fair associations
throughout the entire southern fair cir
cult. All racing events we will make
uniform; that is. we will not have a
2:1l pace here in Birmingham and "A
2:16 pace in Montgomery or Meridian
or Memphis. We will make all the
races uniform in time and purse, so
that the owners of the best north
ern and eastern horses can enter the
circuit, like, say with 2.11 pacing
horse, can go from one town to an
other and find his horse eligible at
each place. These men can bring their
horses to Birmingham knowing that
there is week after this at Mont
gomery or Meridian or somewhere else
on down the circuit.
'The demand for concessions is SO
great that the home people should
communicate with the fair head
quarters as soon as possible. other
wise they will be crowded out of the
more desirable places for booths and
displays by the foreign applicants.
There are some 40 churches here which
usually want concession privileges and
these should get in their applications
as soon as possible they may have
to be disappointed as to their loca-
ton
"We have already signed UP some
important concessions, including one
big novelty act and the teddy bear
privilege 1t is the desire of the di-
rectors and officials to depart just as
far from the old line of fair as it is
possible and still have genuine fair
BY this method of newness We hope to
add increased attraction to the fair

erv, secretary of the Montgomery. fair

ference with us in regard to these

arranging some preliminaries for his

''Taken all In all, everything is loom
ing up in q way never before seen IN

dict a fair this fall that will be
