FINE CHERRY CROP
OF HORACE RAINEY
HE WILL GATHER ABOUT 10000
GALLONS FROM ABOUT TEN
ACRES.

one OF the most beautiful sights
about the city now is the cherry CROP
that is on the farm of Horace Rainey
near the city. He has three orchards,
which have some ten or twelve acres
OF the ruby fruit upon them. There
are about 1000 trees, and IN the es.
tlmatlon of Prof. Charles A. keffer,
OF the University OF Tennessee, and
IL. R, Neel, editor of the Southern Ag-
llculturist, who visited the orchard
Saturday afternoon, they will average
gtwo and one half bushels, or twenty
gallons, each. They are solling at
present at so cents per gallon. These
gentlemen pronounced it one of the
largest and best crops they had ever
seen.
The cherries are just ripering, and
they are SO thick upon the trees that
the orchard seems almost 2 mass of
red Mr.. Rainey says that it is the
best crop of the fruit that he has
seen in thirty years. Some of the
trees are especially heavy, and it
would not be far from correct es-
innate to say that they have nearly
ten bushels on each. A finer sample
OF fruit could not be seen anywhere.
They are large, round and without a
speck or flaw on them.
! Mr.. Rainey has been a watchful
guardian Of the fruit and has kept
the birds from them. The greatest
source of trouble has been a foreign
bird, which gradually moves north as
the crop ripens. He stated that he
had used about $40 worth of ammuni-
ton in shooting them. The native
birds have bothered the fruit but lit
tie.

BIG FIRST MONDAY
CROWD IN CITY
DRY WEATHER ON THE FARM AL
LOWS MANY FARMERS TO
COME TO TOWN.

Today is first Monday in June. A
glance at the crowd that seethed and
|surged abouA the court house would
have revealed the fact that it was
some kind of first Monday or that
there was some unusual attraction.
The dry weather Of the past four
weeks has allowed the farmers to
catch up with all work on the farm,
and so there is little to be done. The
result was that large numbers OF
them came to the city to take a day
lon and see the crowd. The court
house and the streets thereabout
were crowded with them, and there
was hardly vacant loot for standing
room.

CAPT. PECK TALKS
ABOUT ROTATION OF
CROPS ON THE FARM
NECESSARY TO PREVENT DEPLE-
TON OF NITROGEN SUPPLY
IN THE EARTH.
SHALLOW AND DEEP. ROOT CROPS
These Must Be Rotated to Keep Soil
From Becoming Stale and Sour.
cIovers and Peas Draw Supply of
Nitrogen From the Air.
(By Capt 7. F. Peck, Commissioner

NJ O"Pe' - a. SSh, CouLAlSSlOueI
OF Agriculture)
Everyone who knows anything
about farming will agr1e that if we
grow the same crops from year to
year and take them OFF the land and
return nothing, the land will grow
poorer. 1t will also grow poorer if
we grow different crops with the same
characteristic roots. | have known
farmers to grow wheat one year, fol-
lowed by corn the next; then back
into wheat and seed to grass and i'm
agine they were practicing a good
rotation, but they were not, because
the roots Of the wheat, corn and
grass, a required nitrogen and all of
them We're shallow rooted plants.
They took there pplant food from the
surface soil and none of them could
draw on the nitrogen in the air.
Nature has provided US with two
classes of plants. One class is
shallow rooted, such as corn, wheat,
oats. rye. barley, sorghum and the
grasses, and this class Of plants de-
pend on the nitrogen in the surface
soil. They can not take it from the
air and fix It in the soil
Nature has also provided US a
class Of deep rooted plants, such
as all the clovers, vetches, peas and
beans, etc., that draw on the nitro
gen in the air and fix it in the soil
by accommodating it in little nodules
on the roots.
Now you see we have q solution
to the problem, simply by growing a
deep rooted crop to accumulate the
nitrogen for the shallow rooted crop
the next year.
But some of US have allowed our
lands to become sour by neglecting
proper rotation, by taking off every
thing and putting nothing back, rob-
bling the soil of its humus so that we
can not grow clover until we correct
the acidity Of the sill and replenish
the humus. This can be done by u.s.
ing two tons of ground limestone
worked into the surface Of fthe soil
in preparing it for soy beans or peas.
This will materially increase the ton
mage of fthat crop: turn under and
seed to rye and crimson clover be-
tween the 18th and 30th Of August.
This will furnish winter pasture and
can be turned In May and the ground
fallowed until the middle OF August,
and then it can be seeded to clover
with every reason to expectc a good
stand and satisfactory crop. Where
grow corn this year | plan to seed
the latter part Of August to rye and
crimson clover, get the winter past
ure, have a cover crop for my land,
replenish the nitrogen and humus
and be ready for shallow rooted
crop.
Where land has been plowed shall
low and hardpan formed, some
kind Of green crop should be turn
ed under and the subsoil pillow fol.
low the turning pillow in the furrow.
This should be done in the fall of
the year. I always want to turn
under my second crop Of clover the
second year, subsoiling as turn the
land; then I will not need to subsoil
until the fourth year, when I will
be turning under second crop OF
clover again.

A great battle is in progress at
Sochaczew, thirty miles west of War

proceeding in a southerly direction
from How. has managed after heavy
fighting in which serious losses are
reported to have been inflicted, to
establish itself a quarter of a mile
west of Sochaczew. The Polish cam
paign now centers at that point.
The German column was met
at Sochaczew by furious resist

~ heavy at points leading to hand to
hand encounters Artillery fire was
heav yand continuous. German aero
planes are constantly circling over
the town. Reenforcements are being
poured In rapidly on both sides.
The Russians are bringing in troops
by highways and by the. railroads
from Warsaw. The Germans are NOV
