met in the Park on Thursday afternoon
OF last week. DIR. McRee was present

ing the entertainment Of the veterans

scribers would trust the Chapter to spend
the money in some way advantageous
to the public.

Winter Cover Crops.

The Agricultural Division Of the N
@. & st. L. Railway.
In pursuing the agricultural improve
ment work Of this department, seeking
to promote the better methods OF farm
ing along the company's lines, permit
me to direct your attention to the i'm.
portance Of preparing promptly for your
winter cover crops.
It is urgently suggested that every
acre Of your corn, cotton and small
grain lands should be seeded at the
proper time during the late summer to
some form OF winter catch crop, to
serve the three-fold purpose Of prevent
ing the erosion or washing OF your land,
to store nitrogen and other needed fer
tilizing elements in your soil and to
provide late fall and early spring graz
ing for your stock. II turned under in
the spring, the cover crop will further
add humus and nitrogen to the soil,
will very greatly improveits mechanical
condition, and will enable it to absorb
and hold more moisture for the succeed
ing crop.
Immediately after harvesting your
small grain crop, it is strongly recon-
mended that the stubble be thoroughly
disced and turned deep as soon as its
condition will permit. 1t should be
disced repeatedly TO control grass and
weed growth until the appearance Of a
good season after the first or middle OF
August, when the cover crop should be
sown. In the meantime, il your soil
has not been analysed for lime content,
you would be justified in applying and
discing in two tons OF ground or pulver-
lied limestone per acre; il alfalfa is to
be sown, apply four tons. Rye and
crimson clover or hairy vetch are the
most satisfactory clover crops for green
manuring yet tried in Tennessee and
this section of the South, and are advo-
Gated by both State and Federal Gov
eminent agricultural authorities.
Frequent shallow and level cultiva-
ton OF the corn and cotton crops lis
urged. Such cultivation may be given
with one-horse spring-tooth cultivator,
such as may be found on the market
selling for about $3.50. Cultivation
should be continued as late in the sea-
son as possible to keep down grass and
to conserve moisture, and the cover
crop sown between the rows during the
FIRST favorable season after August first
Or fifteenth, and narrowed in with the
spring tooth or spiketooth V-shaped
barrow. II the rows are prepared and
in ridges, more or less OF the
cover crop seed will roll away from the
crest OF the ridges toward the center of
he furrow between leaving considera-
Die area unseeded, and the catch crop
will appear ia rows. IT cultivated in
he level, practically the entire surface
Il the corn and cotton fields may be
seeded.
The suggestions arc offered 10 the
arnest hope that the approaching VIM
er season will find the grain and cotton
Producing areas in the territory served
" these lines well covered with green
rowing crops, rather than lying bare
nd exposed to the seasons washing
aims.

Washington, May 2s.-Geaeral Car
rama will probably accept the prin
rcipie of mediation and send represen-
stadves to the Niagara Falls confer
sDce. This is the view held by Pres
3dent Wilson as result of informa-
nsiOo that reached the white House.
The president Learned that General
Carranza has written letter to the
South American mediators at Niagara
Fals outlining his attitude toward
mediation. The officials of this gov
eminent hold that the writing OF this
letter by Carrarza involves a dplo-
matte hint that an Invitation to par
dicipate in the Niagara Falis confer
ances will be now accepted by the
"Constltutionalist chleftaln. It Is eK-
pected that General OaTrangas letter
soon will be In the hands Of the A.
%. c. diplomats at Niagara Falls and
that important developments will
quickly follow
The Washington administration he
rsieves that the sending of this letter
by Carranza is designed to procure a
lit0ew invitation to participate In the
tcouferences. which the Constitutlan-
slist leader will Immediately accept.
