Clover Mikes Corn

During February, 1912, l purchased
some very poor land joining my farm.
Some OF this land had been in cotton
the year before, producing about 300
POUNDS OF seed cotton per acre. Most
OF 1t was producing fine crop of
sassafras sprouts and gullies. After
hauling all the old straw and litter
of any kind that l could get and
throwing it on the poorest places, 1
proceeded to fill in the gullies and
turn about six inches deep.
In May the land was prepared and
planted to peas and cultivated twice.
Some peas were gathered for seed,
and the vines all turned down. about
seven inches deep. followed with a
drag harrow and sown to rye, using
some phosphate.
The following spring, 1913. the rye
was turned down about eight inches
deep and followed with the drag har-
row and the land then planted to peas
and velvet beans, using some more
phosphate. This was cultivated twice.

10 inches deep and sown to crimson

during the whole growing season the
land was not wet over three inches
deep. Cultivation was kept up, though
at times the corn looked almost dead.
But we got n yield OF 3S bushels of
corn to the acre. If we had had a
good season the yield would have
been at least double.-J. l.. Aber-
nathy, in the Progressive Farmer.

CHARITY CLOSE TO HOME

Senator Morris Sheppard OF Texas

this story 10 back up bis statement:

The short interval that elapsed be-

what is she doing" asked the little
girl, referring to a woman who was on
her knees in the "amen corner"

Some time elapsed and the woman
remained on her knees. Finally, the
grandmother of the little girl became
tired of the service and announced
that it was time to leave.
"Oh, let's not go yet, exclaimed her
grandchild. Let's wait and see 'em

Cretonne Handbags.

cretonne-not cushions and slips to

things to wear.

is the cretonne handbag. 1t is not nee
essarily cheap, as the fabric from
which it is made might make one
think it is. For it is made and mount

died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar.
thy, L. S. NJ, has shown in an article in
"The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy, at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know. that usually got poor
results from the boatswains mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order
On one occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"BOatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate become desperate. He grabbed
deck bucket, and forced it into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster reeling, and fol.
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for bucketful of it! never
heard of anything to scrub a deck with
but sand and lime, and l don't know
anything about these new 'soogy-
moodgies, anyway."-Youth's Com.
