the july in his usual able man
ner and proceeded at once with
the business before the court.
The grand jury was promptly
empaneled and Richmond Moore,
of the first district, selected as
for sman. Besides the local bar
several visiting attorneys are in
attendance. 1t is characteristic
of Judge Clayton to push the
business of the court as rapidly
as possible, thereby saving to the
taxpayers considerable amount
of unnecessary expense, and it
may be safely said that he will
bring this term of his court to a
close as early as practicable on

Tri-County Fair

Notwithstanding adverse con.
ditions the Tri-County Fair is
attracting large crowds and al
) though the agricultural exhibits
are lacking in a measure, the
crowd enjoy the races every al
ternoon.
The live stock exhibit Wednes@
day brought together a large
number of Lee county raised
colts. The collection would have
done credit to any stock breeding
section. The year-old filly of
Cleveland Price was awarded the
prize in her class.
Some of the local merchants
and business men have attractive
booths which prove to be good
advertising for these firms.
Among those who have most
screditable displays of their wares
are Sigman-Trice Grocery Co.,
. A. A. Taylor. jeweler; Aldrldge
81 Co., shoes; Tupelo Cotton
Mills, cheviots; Ford Automobile
Co., by w. E. Smith, local agent;
DIR. Albion, optician; Lee County
Tomato and Domestic Science
club, Lee County Corn Club and
AYoung's Electrical Company.
A good carnival company ex.
hibited on the grounds during the
week.
The races proved interesting,
especially from the fact that the
horses are Lee county owned and
bred racers. The time of some
of the races is as low as the best
time ever made on the track.
Much credit is due to DR.. E..
D. Hood, DR.. E. D. Foster and
Mr.. Chisholm, who have worked
zealously to make the Fair a
success.

than when the crop is on the
sitter soils. However, there will
be times when these stiff soils
will be dry enough for stock to
Craze. The grazing of oats when
the land is not wet is beneficial
to the crop. 1t causes the plant
to make a stronger root system
and to stool or tiller out, several
plants coming from the roots of
one. and thus thickens the stand.
The results obtained at this sta
ton show that fall planted oats
is the cheapest grain crop that
can be grown.

Conference of Governors

A conference of the governors
of the cotton growing states was
called to meet in Memphis Satur-
day and five Of them were pres
ent. These were Gov. Hays. of
Arkansas; Gov. Hall, of Louis
lana; Gov. Slaton, of Georgia;
Gov. BIease, of South Carolina,
and Gov. Brewer. of Mississippi.
The conference failed to result
in anything tangible or practical.
Gov. Blease favored legislation
to stop the planting of cotton in
1915 and stated that the legisla-
,ture of South Carolina was ready
to pass an act to prevent its
growth in the state.
Gov. Brewer opposed legisla-
ton by the state and will not call
the legislature in session to con-
slider the question.
Gov. Hays, of Arkansas. ad-
vocated a general policy of di-
versiication as the only practical
means of settling the question.
This idea, if followed out, will
solve the question and is the only
practical means that has vet been
submitted.

Fall Planting of Oats

There is every reason to be-
lieve that the price of corn and
oats will be much higher next
year than it has been for many
years. For this reason every
farmer who can possibly do so
should plant a few acres to oats
this fall. Fall planting of oats
is surer and more profitable than
spring planting. During the last
ten years oats planted in the fall
at this station have yielded. on
the average, about one third
more per acre than spring plant
ed oats. In some cases the yield
was double.
If the time will permit, good
preparation will pay well. In
one of our experiments where
the land was thoroughly broken
and narrowed, we obtained seven
bushels per acre more than where
the oats were disced in on pea
stuble. The plats were on land
that would ordinarily produce
one-half to three-quarters of a
bale of cotton per acre. If one
is pushed for time, then put the
oats in in the quickest way.
Not less that two bushels of
oats per acre should be planted.
and three bushels will give a big
ger yield. A grain drill should
be used for putting the seed in
if possible. The increase in the
yield of oats from 20 acres for
three years will pay for one of
these drills. In 1911 the yield
from plat planted with a drill
was double that obtained from a
plat planted broadcast by hand
and covered with a disc harrow.
The winter freezes kill more of
the oats that are broadcasted by
lla..I than those planted with a
drill. For fall planting the Texas
red rust proof is decidedly the
best variety to plant in this sec
ton. For spring planting the
| Burt oat has given US better re-
suits.
Right now while there is plenty
of moisture in the soil is the best
time to plant. However, if plant-
ing cannot be done now, it can
be done any time between now
and Oct. Is. We have planted
as late as Nov. l a number of
times and secured good stands,
but September is much better,
as the plants become better root
ed before cold weather and can
therefore stand the freezes bet
ter.
Oats planted on Johnson grass
meadows is profitable crop. In
1913 we obtained 46.7 bushels of
oats per acre and then cut %
tons of Johnson grass hay per
acre from land heavily infested
with johnson grass. This year
we obtained So bushels of oats
and have II tons of hay at the
present time. This oat crop was
planted the 18th of last Novem-
ber. In addition to the above,
after the oat straw was baled,
the weights showed ylelQ OF
one ton per acre. Experiments
show that when oat straw is fed
to cattle getting ensilage and
cotton seed meal the results are
just as good as when the cattle
get ensilage, cottonseed meal and
johnson grass hay. Lands ca
pable Of producing bale of cot
ton per acre should yield around
so bushels of oats per acre under
normal conditions. Our expense
for growing oats on the above
Johnson grass land was Is cents
a busheI. This figures in every
even to the rent of the
