TURNING THE COVER CROP
(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)

lby j. 4. MCAmlS, DIVISION OF EXten
sion, University of Tennessee)
Do not allow the winter crop to be
come too far advanced in growth be
fore turning it under. The tendency
has been in that direction in the past
in hope of getting the largest pos
sible amount of vegetable matter into
the soil.
The soil may not receive as much
matter by turning little earlier, but
that which it does receive will be In
such a condition that 1t will decay and
take effect Immediately, because all
plants must decay before they are OF
much use to the SOIL
If crops are too big and woody be-
fore they are turned, they not only
do not produce a beneficial effect as
quickly as is often expected, but they
may even be injurious to the following
crops, especially in dry seasons on
thin shallow land
In their growth they have taken up
a great deal of the soils available
plant food. 1t is given up to the next
crop only after decaying, which takes
place very slowly in more matured
plants.
Besides, If they are turned under in
a mass, they remain between the top
soil and subsoil and prevent the rise
of water from below. Water comes up
In dry seasons and goes into the soil
In wet ones.
To insure the highest returns from
the winter cover crop 1t must be cut
up with sharp disc previous to break
ing, and 1t must be turned before there
is much woody material in it.
Ordinarily, when a summer crop is
to follow, it is best to turn the grain
crops Just before they head out, and
crimson clover when it has begun. to
bloom well.

acre over thirty-three acres. He also
reports that he has eighteen acres yet

DDS, the same as the thirty-three acres,
and anticipates an average yield of
seventy or seventy-five bushels per
acre. An outside farmer had such a
poor yield on ten or fifteen acres that
he did not attempt to harvest it. In
this same tract he had other corn that

that his entire farm must be worked

NEUTRALITY Of HOLLAND
 UPHELD BY THE QUEEN
SlNGLENESS OF MIND WITH HER PEOPLE.

The Hague. Holland March G. aueen Wilhelmina has displayed won derful singleness of mind with her cabinet and her people in their deter imitation to uphold the dignity as well as the neutrality of Holland The 1 queens popularity has. if possible, in- creased with her years, and the gov ernment, the foreign relations, the de- fences and the social condition of the Netherlands are her constant care
 At the beginning of hostiities, the queen and her ministers immediately recognized the delicate situation of
 the Netherlands, lying on the seashore together with Belgium as a buffer be-
 tween the powerful German and Brit
 ieh empires and with it's territory temptingly open 10 violation by either belligerent
 The Dutch cabinet, always acting in conjunction with the young mon- arch, decided to call its defensive forces to arms and the Netherlands troops were. in fact. complete mo- bilized and prepared for eventualities even before the armies of the warning powers had been brought up to war footing Since those anxious days in the beginning of August the Nether- lande army has been in constant train ing under the watchful eye Of it's com manderin-chief and ruler who day after day rides out on horseback to some point of military concentration
 and inspects the men, from whom she often inquiries personally as to their comfort and condition
 The soldiers, kept away from their l families for months although their l country is not at war, are greatly cheered by these visits. The queen shows them every sympathy and en-' couiages them to exercise patience in
 carrying out their trying and patri- | otic duties
 The queens mode of living is of
 the utmost plainness consonant with
 her position. She is as rule kept | busy with state affairs but every mo-
 ment when she can break away from l her sovereign duties is given to the
 supervision of the training and educa- | ton of her little daughter. the Pria-
 cess Juliana.
 l Prince Henry, the queens consort, has entirely oblterated his personal 1 ity from Dutca affairs of state during these trying times and he never by
 any chance interferes in the politics
 of the country of his adoption AS
 president of the Dutch Red Cross he recently paid a visit to the interned troops-Belgians, British and German and among them found some wound ed Mecklenburg soldiers to whom he spoke in their own dialect and after ward sent them and their fellow pris- oners some comforts He deyotes himself to the Red Cross and other be- nevolent institutions most of the time. but at other times he takes his sport ing rifle and gives himself up to the chase over the royal country estate. Although the prince has succeeded in winning for himself since his mar rage to the queen a great amount of req. respect among the Dutch people.
