ISSUED BY
COUNTY AGENT
ANDERSON

County Demonstration Anderson has
been asked frequently about the time
for turning a cover crop, and the
method of treatment of the land by
many farmers who are working de-
monstration tracts for the first time.
For the benefit of these he issues the
following letter:
To All Cover Crop Demonstrators.
This is probably the first year you
prove your soil. We therefore wish
to call your attention to a few impor
tant points regarding the best method
of handling your land for the sue
ceeding crop.
The state at which a cover crop
should be turned under depends upon
the soil, weather conditions and the
crop that is to follow. Where corn
is to be planted on crimson clover
land the clover should be turned un-
der just when the bloom begins to
appear. The crop at this stage will
contain about the maximum amount
of plant food. Besides, it will decay
much more readily than if permitted
to reach full maturity. 1t may be
necessary to turn the clover under a
planted at the proper time. 1t is
sometimes advisable to turn under
earlier on account of the soil being
in good condition, whereas to put it
off for a few days or a week, dry
weather might prevent doing the work
as it should be. When the land is to
be planted to cotton it will be neces-
Sary to turn the cover crop under
from April 1st to 10th regardless of
the stage of growth. This will allow
a few days for the land to settle and
to be gotten. in proper condition for
a good seed bed. The plow should
be followed closely with the harrow
to pulverize the soil before the wind
and sunshine dries it out. Unless
the soil is full of moisture, or there
are prospects of an early rain it is
best to run roller over the land to
firm it, which will aid in holding the
moisture. The roller should always
be followed with the weeder or light
smoothing harrow to mulch the top
soil.
When the cover crop consists of
rye or other small grain, it should
be turned under when about knee
high. If the condition of the soil
prevents p1owing at this time, double
disc the crop couple of times and
this will prevent the further drying
out of the soil, and frequently the
soil will be mellow enough in few
days to plow even if it does not rain
This, of course, is true when clover
is to be followed by corn also.
Never turn the clover or other crop
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with a disc harrow, as the mater
ial plowed under in layer serious
ly interferes with the capillary action
of the moisture in the SOIL The eff
fects of turning under in a layer
is what is sometimes called souring
the soil with green manuring crops.

three times with sharp disc harrow

there is any priority among them in

| Justice Allen states that the bond
was given to Anderson to- secure and

Anderson is liable to material men

health officers at Folkestone are taking
unusual precautions to prevent the ad-

the Flushing. DieDpe, Boulogne and
Calais boats are examined with great
care.
FOlkestone is now practically the only

WAR TRUCK5ARE
SOON SCRAPPED
Average Life of Truck in the
Allied Army Is Approx
imately Six Days.

With European buyers drawing on
practically every manufacturer Of mo
tor transport wagons in the United
States for vehicles for immediate use
on the continent, it is learned that,
according to the best advices received
from abroad, the average life of motor
vehicles in the allies army has reached
as low a figure as six days, says the
New York Herald
This short life average has been Oc-
casiOned in part, it is said, by the
necessity for destroying many trans
ports to prevent capture. but more par
ticularly it is due to the excessive hard
service to which all motor driven
wagons have been subjected. 1t is esti-
mated that the allies have used up 49,
900 vehicles since the first movement of
the French forces in August last to-
ward the Belgian frontier.
The European buyers are reported TO
be most anxious that transports be Of

have Interchangeable parts. The trou-
Bile with continental vehicles is said to
be that when a part gives out there is

which clearly is not covered by the
title of the act.
The obvious purpose Of the new
law, increasing the fees according to
horsepower, was to increase the high
way fund. There can be no more labor
or expense in registering a vehicle Of
high horsepower than in registering
one OF low horsepower, and the only
reasonable purpose in the graduated
Zee IS h increased revenue.
The graduated fee according To
horsepower must be held to be a mere
guise or subterfuge to obtain the in
creased revenue. In our opinion, the
act clearly Is a tax measure when
stripped Of its guise, and as a tax
measure the object is not embraced In

The unusual inducements which at

wagons by American business concerns.

chance for large users of horses TO sell

REPRESENTATIVES of English, French

ported to have received ORDERS 0urlhs
the last week in OCTOBER for the pur-
chase of 10000 additional horses and
mules, are reported to be paying a
uniform price of $40 n head IN East

have advanced S17 Oyer last year as a
result of the demand. The first ship
ment on an order for 5000 started for
Montreal last week. Train loads Of
horses and mules are going from the
west and southwest daily to Canada
and Atlantic ports Germany is said
to be offering from $500 to $500 for
