OYSTER SHELLS.
Once Little Valued, They Are Now a
Boon to Oyster Growers.


Ten years ago any stranger could
spot the shore location of an oyster
fishery by means of the mammoth
piles Of oyster shells. These were
heaped up on the shore in great stacks
sometimes from thirty to forty feet in
height. These shells were considered
If little value. In many places they
were actually given away and they
were used TO be crushed up and spread
over road beds and they were also
burned in order to get the lime from
them.
Today these piles have disappeared
and If you wanted ton or so Of them
you would have to pay pretty good
price. simply because the owners want
to dump them back into the sea.
There used to be great deal Of
difficulty in preparing oyster beds for
breeding purposes. Then it was dis
covered that the best possible breed
| ing place for the embryo oysters was
on the smooth inside surface of the
adult oyster shells. and so every year
the shells from the shucked oysters are
taken out and scattered over the beds.
The baby oysters attach themselves
to these surfaces and thrive nightly.
There are experts today who know
nothing of fishing for oysters or mar
keting them. but who devote all their
time to the preparation of artificial
oyster beds. This has become n rec
ognized part Of the industry. After the
shells have been properly spread over
the bottom of the water the spawn
is liberated upon them and they are
left to fight their own battles with the
crabs. periwinkles, star6sh and other
enemies-Boston Herald.

HANDLING OF WHEAT
FTER HARVESTING

Wayne county farmers are rushing
wheat harvest to its close this week.
The rains of the past week delayed
this work and much of the grain is
now overripe. Unless the crop is
carefully handled there will be danger
of loss from shattering of the grain,
and should there be a period Of rainy
weather before threshng time, good
deal of grain may sprout in the shock.
The average loss of wheat due to
exposure in the shock will usually
amount to at least five cents per
bushel in the flour making value Of
the wheat. Through exposure to rain
and sun the grain loses its bright
color, and the bran becomes brittle
so that in the milling process much of
it crumbles and passes through the
selves, producing an inferior grade of
-four.
1t used to be customary to stack
the wheat, or house it in barns or
sheds until threshing time, but we'll
built wheat stack is almost a curl
osity in Wayne county nowadays.
1t will undoubtedly pay to stack wheat
and in nearly every case the expense
involved will be saved at threshing
time, since the market value of the
grain will be enough higher to pay
for the extra trouble.

WHEN CLOVER FAILS
SOW CROP OF BEANS

The hot, dry weather of the late
spring and early summer has been
very hard on the young clover, and
some farmers are face to face with
the proposition of finding some sub
stitute for this crop which is counted
on to supply nitrogen and humus in
the crop rotation.
On the clay and loan soils of this
section of the country, either COW peas
or soy beans can be sOwed after the
wheat is taken of, and under ordinary
weather conditions can be counted on
making a good growth before frost.
Both of these crops are especially
valuable to pillow under, as they have
the power of gathering nitrogen from
the air, and also provide a great deal
of organic matter when plowed under.
Disk the Ground.
Where the young clover has failed,
the wheat should be removed from the
field as soon as possible, and the
ground disked thoroughly with dou-
BILE disk, or plowed not too deep, and
a good firm seed bed prepared. Soy
beans will do best on the loans and
clay loan soils, while the cowpeas
may be best on the heavier clays.
The seed may be drilled in a large
wheat drill at the rate of one bushel
to the acre. 1t is not likely that either
crop will take much nitrogen from the
air unless inoculated with soil from
field where they have been previous
ly grown, but if plowed under in the
fall they will greatly enrich the soil
| in organic matter Both crops are
good to hog down in the fall, espec,
tally if some peas or beans are formed
| After peas or beans have been
ploWed under a good crop of corn can
| be expected the following year.

the fungous disease know as mildew.
There may be other fungi active on
your grapes as. for instance, black rot
and possibly bird's-eye rot or anthra-
cnose All these fungous diseases can
be controlled pretty effectively by the
timely use of Bordeaux mixture.
1t will be too late to secure best
results from the use of Bordeaux mix
ture this year, as the first spraying
should be made when the first leaves
put out and before the grapes have
blossomed. 1t would be worth while,
however. to give one spraying with
this mixture at once, provided the
machinery and materials are conven
iently at hand.

ALFALFA BEATS CORN
One Acre of Former Equals
Four of Corn.
ALFALFA AND CORN.

In a recent address Hon. A. P. Grout,
the President of the National Alfalfa
Growers Association, stated that one
acre of alfalfa is equal to four acres
of average corn. lie said:
This season I put at least five tons
of alfalfa to the acre into my barns
and it is worth 500 ton. After this
hay was carefully put into the barn,
some of my neighbors began to haul
corn to the elevator at SO cents per
bushel, and then, for the first time,
1t occurred to me that if l had sold
my alfalfa for 500 and put that
amount, $11. into corn, it would have
given me 200 bushels. Now this land
on which l am growing alfalfa would
be able under the best conditions to
grow 80 or 100 bushels, but l am not
growing any such amount. If l get
IS bushels per acre, l am doing very
we'll. That would mean that one acre
of alfalfa is worth two and one-half
acres of.corn, and if l didn't get more
than fifty bushels land the average
is not fifty bushels in our county, then
one acre of alfalfa is equal to four
acres of corn. There is an incentive
in growing alfalfa.

GOING LAW NOT
 DISCRIMINATORY Supreme Court Rules Ad- versely to Ferd Hayis ' ct
 al. in Saloon Suit. WILL GO TO U. S. COURT Negroes Attacking Constitutionality of Statute Will Garry Case to
 Highest Court in Land.
WILL GO TO U. S. COURT

Little Rock, Nov. 9.-The supreme court in an opinion handed down to- day practically held that the part of the Going anti-saloon act passed by the last legislature prohibiting negroes from signing petitions, was valid. The case was the first in which negroes were parties to the points ruled on in the case
 In the Jefferson court Ferd Havls, a negro resident of Pine Bluff, and others filed suit against the coun1y judge, c. M. Philpot, and in doing 50 attacked the constitutionality of the famed liquor law. c. M. Wade sued Judge c. J. Horner.
 in the Garland court against County
 In each instance the county judge was sued in an effort to prevent him from issuing liquor licenses and the grounds for attack were that the law under which he would do so (tAe Going law) was unconstitutional in that it barred negroes from a voice in the petition. The supreme court on several points ruled the same as in the Argenta case, when that wes heard in the higher court. The Gar. land county suit, however, alleged that the law prevented a negro from having any voice against saloons. The supreme court held, however, that such was not the case, but that a negro had a legal right to be made a party to any action taken under the law. In counties where the number of negroes is greater than the num- Der of white residents the complaint alleged the majority is ruled by the minority. The supreme court held in regard to this allegation that the black voters could reject saloons at the general election, where their number is greater than that of the whites. The Going law specifics that before a petition is presented ask ing for saloons the county must have voted "for license" at the last pre- ceding general election.
 It is probable there will be an ap- neal taken to the United States su- preme court in one of the cases.
 Reverse Damage Case.
 Ray Dyer, who obtained damages from the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Company for alleged per- sonal injuries suffered on one of the company's trains at Hartford on Sep tember 1. 1913, lost his judgment to- day when the supreme court reversed and dismissed the case. It had been appealed from Sebastian county. Decisions Rendered.
