About Sweet Clover.

Better plant a little patch of
sweet clover on your farm this
spring, just to see if it will do
what is claimed. No use to say
scientific farming is a humbug
until YOU know for sure.
The place TO make the test is
on some of YOUR poor soil, for it
is claimed that sweet clover will
aid considerable nitrogen and
humu, to the soil and also m
prov its VII .ital condition. On

the sci is moist enough to ger
inmate the seeds properly. APP

the hay crop probably will be
light, but the second year ought
to be good. By this time the
soil ought to be iroculated in
good shape for alfalfa. Put in
the alfalfa, and maybe you can
raise this mouey-making crop
right on the same ground where
it failed before. Better try lit

author, has had more experience In
the subject Of cultivation than any
man in the corn belt. and tells In

Can you AFFORD to raise corn on
land worth $4,000 an acre and then
waste 80 to 400 Of the crop? Many
do this, husking the corn In the field,
leaving the stalks standing. Sam

WANT HEIRS OF ESTATE
SEARCH BEGUN FOR THEM FIJI
TY YEARS AFTER DEATH.

Nephew of Colonel John 4. Mercer,
Who Was Killed at Battle of Ply
mouth, Is Shellman Citizen.
Ordinary W. B. Cheatham recently
received a letter from Mr.. Perry NJ.
de Leon, of Washington, D. c., in
curing for information as to the
heirs of Colonel John T. Mercer, a
graduate of West Point, who entered
the Confederate army and was killed
at the battle of Plymouth, N. c., in
1864.
1t seems that at the time OF his
enlistment in the Confederate army
Colonel Mercer held a federal office,
and the government was due him
some money, which was not paid.
Recently a special act of congress
made an appropriation to pay the
amount that was owed him fifty years
ago, and now this money is to be
divided among his heirs. The amount
is not known here.
Judge Cheatham found one of the
heirs in the person of Mr.. John NJ.
Wooten of Shellman, who is a
nephew of Colonel Mercer, who was
brother of Mr.. Wooten's mother.
Mr.. de Leon has been notified and
has taken the matter up with Mr.
Wooten.
