Insurance Men Discuss New Law.

Nearly hundred hundred repre-
sentative insurance men discussed the
new insurance law with the members
of the state insurance board. The in
depreciation of the law by the board
was explained, and nine rules of pro-
cedure laid down for the benefit of the
local and special agents. There has
been some uncertainty among insur-
ance men as to how the new board
would act under the insurance law,
and the purpose of each measure was
explained and the boards policy out
lined by w. r. Samuel. ..

cottonseed Meal a Good Food.

Cottonseed meal as a human food is
being urged by DIR. G. S. Traps, state
chemist and chemist to the experiment
station at the agricultural and me-
chanical college. Cottonseed meal is
urged as substitute, not for -four, but
for meat, providing the same elements
necessary for the proper support and
development of the human system as
does meat.
"Cottonseed meal hour is now be-
ing used extensively in Texas, and in
view CT the high price of meat and
the general financial condition of the
people of the state, this -four should
come into much wider use," says
Doctor Traps. 1T is palatable, and II
eaten in the proper ration, makes an
excellent substitute for meat"

CLEANING UP POTATO PATCH
Practical Plan to Rake Up and Burn
All Refuse Matter-vines Tend
to Perpetuate Disease.

After the spud crop has been har
rested it is wise idea to rake and
burn all the refuse matter. Vines al
lowed to decay upon the land tend to
perpetuate any bacterial disease that
may have been present upon the crop
during the growing season and the
potash is worth more than the germs
There is little fertility in the vines
and the danger OF communicating the
following seasons crop by harborine
disease is much greater than the val
ue of the vines for manurial purposes.
The proper autumnal treatment is
to plow the land deeply and allow II
to remain In rsSsaE condition during
the winter in order that II may hold
all the snow which may fail and rap
idly absorb the rains, Rough earth
will not blow so badly as that which
Is smooth. This plowing should be
done crosswise to the run OF the dig
ging machine.

1t will be remembered that Miss

Woodrow Bones really brought about
the romance of the president and his
bride. During the first Mrs. Wilson's
last illness Miss Bones was almost
constantly at her side. The vigil was
tedious and wearing. and after Mrs
Wilson's death Miss Zones was in
such frail health herself that DIR.
Carey Grayson. family friend and
White House physician. was much
worried. He urged Miss Bones to take
long walks-and Miss Bones did &c.

journeys afoot.
Friendship Ripens Into Love.
By and by. Miss Bones introduced
Miss Wilson and Mrs. Gait. and the
friendship of these two soon became
intimate. In the natural course of
events Mrs. Gait took luncheon now
and then with her chums in the
White House-and it wasn't long be-

Galts charm.
Mr.. Wilson is the sixth president nj
the United States to marry widow

predecessors in this sort of union,
but in not more than one or two cases
was the widow the second wife-as in
this case. John Tyler and Theodore
Roosevelt married twice. but their
second wives had not been welded be-

George Washington's marriage. The

Only members of the immediate

William G. McAdoo was the only cab

limited number of guests, the house
was packed, for both bride and bride

The bride was attended by her Sis

She was attired in travelling costume
and carried a magnificent bouquet of
orchids. AS selected orchestra
from the Marine band played the we'd

the hallway outside the parlors and
together they went slowly down to the
great altar of flowers erected at the
east end of the rooms. The wedding

SUDAN GRASS FOR DROUGHT
Valuable Forage Plant Introduced into
the United States by Department
~ Of Agriculture.

This valuable new forage plant was
introduced into the United States by
the department OF agriculture. The
seed was brought from the Sudan.
Egypt. hence the name Sudan grass.
Hendersons Farmers Manual Tor
1915 says: sudan grass Is strictly an
annual. having no underground root
stock to be spread over the ground
which is point very much In It's
favor. because there Is no danger OF
its getting out of bounds and becom-
ing a pest. 1t Is thoroughly killed
by frost each year, and the seed must
be sown again."
| When broadcastcd for hay. it rarely
attains a height Of more than four or
five feet. The stems are smaller
and more leafy than Johnson grass,
which it most resembles. and the hay
is much softer. When broadcasted
for hay, the number of cuttings will
depend on the length OF the season.
and the amount Of moisture. The first
crop natures in from so to 75 days.
and the recovery after cutting is 30
rapid that another cutting may be
taken 25 to 30 days later.
Sudan grass will produce as much
forage as any variety of millet and
yield two to four cuttings per year.
Its great value TO the farmer in the
eastern part OF the country. or In
droughty section. is the case with
which 1t can be grown. and its proht'
able yields of forage. All stock cat 1t
greedily, and no Ill effects have been
| known to follow feeding 1t to work
animals. For hay or green feed. SOW
20 pounds to the acre. For heavy
yield, the ground must be deep. rich
and finely pulverzed. Sow when
ground is warm. The seed is scarce
and the price at present is As cents
| per pound.
Sudan grass will prove very valu-
| able grass for the dairy farmer to
cut greenland also for hay.

TURNING UNnER GLOVER CROP
Double Disk Cover Crop Two or Three
Times With Sharp Disk Harrow
Before Flowing.

Never turn the clover or other crop
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with a disk harrow. as the ma
terial plowed under in layer seri-
ously interferes with the capillary &C
lion of the moisture in the soil.
The effects of turning under in a
layer are what is sometimes called
sourins the soil witiI' green mannrinS
crops.
Double disk the cover crop two or
three times with sharp disk harrow
before blowing; plow well by taking a
narrow furrow and edging rather than
inrcrting the furrow: then double disk
the land again rather GccpIy. and no
injurious effect will result however
large the growth may be.
