SUCCESS WITH CLOVER
WORTHY OF MORE GENERAL
GROWTH BY OUR FARMERS.
Crop Should Not Be Looked Upon as
Cure for All Ills of Soil, but as
an important Factor in
Renovation of the Land.

Glover has been grown with varied
success in practically every state in
the Union. Its beneficial action on
the soil, it's period of usefulness, the
wide range Of nurse crops with which
it can be grown, and its excellence as
o hay and pasture crop, all serve to
commend it to a place in our crop
ping system and prove it worthy of
more general growth by our farmers.
Complaints of WORKOUT soils, weeds
and Improbable crops, do not come
from farmers who have made clover
an important factor in the cropping
system
Glover should not be looked upon
as cure for all the ills of the soil
but as an important factor in soil
renovation and in maintaining or in
creasing the supply of vegetable mat
ter in the soil. Glover belongs to
class Of plants that, with the aid of
bacterial growth on their roots,
have the power of absorbing the nitro
gen of the air and leaving it in the
soil for the use of succeeding crops
The clover plant has large root
system that leaves considerable
amount of vegetable matter in the
soil. This decaying vegetable matter
proves beneficial, in times of drouth.
in holding soil moisture. It also
assists in keeping light soils from
washing" and blowing" and heavy
soils from baking"
The clover roots grow quite deeply,
penetrating the subsoil and breaking
it up; so that, when they are decayed,
the soil suitable for crop growth is
made deeper and the drainage is much
improved. Results of experiments

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The O. der was issued this morning by the government that the United States troops evacuate Vera Cruz as no fur ther occupation is necessary owing to the peaceful condition of that republic and the promise of the continuation of the present stability. General Villa
 has asked through Carranza that the United States government be reQuesN- ed to make this order and it is as sumed here that the present acting
 president of Mexico did make the re- quest and that the Washington ad- ministration considered evacuation as the most friendly and. indeed, the only course. The establishment of peace in Mexico coupled with the flight of Huerta is regarded generally here as a signal victory for the methods pur- sued by President Wilson and Secre-

the United States but the entry of the great nations into the pact of peace has now for the first time been accom- plished. The number of the treaties now made in this way is twenty-six. It is known as the Bryan peace treaty having been conceived by the Secre- tary of state himself.
 The commission which will inveSti- gate the disputes arising will be an international one which will be thor oughly unbiased. Before it begins to investigate the question at issue diplo- macy will have it's play but the failure of diplomatic arrangements will bring the commission into the examination of the matter. iii3
 The treaties were signed by Mr. Bryan and the foreign representatives today in the presence of the cabinet and the scene was a most impressive one.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-An event that will probably mark Pres.- dent Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan in history as the greatest apos- ties of peace of centuries took place today when Bryan signed peace trea- ties with the diplomatic representa- tives of Great Britain, France, Spain and China.
 These treaties bind the signatories not to engage in war with each other until the dispute which threatens to bring about the war has been thor oughly investigated by a commission. During the time of investigation no hostilities can be carried on so that plenty of time will be given for both sides to weigh all the facts as we'll as the possible results.

FOX AND SHEEP MIXED
 UP AS ON A FARM

Nothing could bring more vividly before the mind the extraordinary game conditions in this district than the relation of little incident which occurred while the Revell-Sweasy par ty was recently in the hills. As stat ed before, the sheep were so plentiful that they appeared in flocKs, not less than six hundred having been seen in one day. On one occasion two foxes, a black one and red one, trotted into a flock of the sheep in full view of the hunters. George Cotter, mem- Der of the party, says that the sheep just stopped grazing for moment to look at the intruders and then went on feeding as calmly as ever.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-Presi- dent Wilson and Leader Underwood
 as we'll as Chairman Simmons of the committee, have agreed to grant t:.e desire of the majority of the demo cratic congressman to cut out the emergency war tax on freight. The tax was first proposed by the presi- dent and was agreed to by most of the leaders of the democratic party but the rank and file objected strenu- ously. Mir. Underwood waited for the return of the president from Cornish and it is believed that he prevailed upon MT. Wilson to agree to the elim- ination of the tax. New tax proposals will now be submitted but some delay will be caused by the change of plans.
