FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By r. H. Benton, Jr.
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH
Crimson Clover.

Crimson Clover.
Crimson clover is demonstra
ted success on practically ever,
soil type in the South where thu
drainage is good. Its ability t.
{ succeed on nearly every kind OF
land in the cotton belt, makes il
one of the best winter cover
crops and soil builders for cult
waited fields in this region.
Crimson clover gathers nitro
gen from the air by means of a
particular kind of bacteria that
grow on its roots. If these bac-
terra are not present in the soil
the clover will certainly be a
failure. Hence, in seeding GRIM
son clover on land where it has
not previously been successfully
grown, it is necessary to inocu-
late the land. Small quantities
OF inoculating bacteria may be
had for demonstration purposes
by applying to the U. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture or to your
local agent.
The middles of a clean cultiva- |
ted cotton field make an almost |
ideal seed bed for sowing GRIM
son clover. The seed should be
sown in this latitude about Octo-
Der ~, but the seed should not
be sown until there is enough
in the ground and the
sun is not too hot. Never less
than fifteen pounds and prefer
ably twenty pounds of seed per
acre should be sown broadcast
and narrowed in lightly with a
harrow. Do not cover too deep.
Cotton seed and its products
Will certainly be high next spring.
Judging from present prices of il
iced. That will make cotton seed
neal very expensive as fertil-
ger. Crimson clover planted
low will make a much better and
much cheaper fertilizer, espec- 81
ally for the sandy lands in the e.
Ills. Crimson clover has theI
over to collect and store nitro :,
en- from the air in the plant at .,
ne rate of from rs to 125 pounds Of
er acre. Therefore, an acre of
God crimson clover. where the W

The Cigarette Law.

Friend T. j. Ray, of Elk Park,
has had the Cigarette Law, per-
tanning to minors, printed on
heavy card board, and is mail
ing them gratuitously over the
country. The Democrat is in re-
ceipt of a number OF copies, and
as the law has been, and is being
violated most flagrantly by deal
ers and Others throughout the
State, as a result of ignorance OF
the law, we are publishing it be-
low, hoping that itmay do some
thing towards stamping out the
awful practice of providing mi
nors with the deadly cigarette.
The Public Laws of North Caro-
lima, Session 1913, chapter 1855,
contains the following:
''If any person shall aid or as
sist any minor child, under sew
enteen years of age, in obtaining
the possession OF cigarettes, or
tobacco in any form used as a
substitute therefor, by whatso-
ever name it may be called, he
shall be guilty ola misdemeanor,
and upon conviction may be fin,
ed or imprisoned at the discre-
tion OF the court. 1t shall be the
duty of every police officer in the
State of North Carolina, upon

The Spells Of War.
Charlotte Observer,

Charlotte Observer,
German system is manifest
even in the taking and utilizing
the spoils OF war. Her armies de.
stroy nothing that can be turn.
ed to good use by the German
Government. The New York Jour
nal OF commerce carries a fine
story in illustration of this me-
thodical madness OF the Germans
and going to show why France
will be largely in the American
markets after peace is at hand.
The Journals story is sent from
Paris and tells of the German
procedure in sacking a mill town.
1t says the first authority to take
charge has always been a compe-
tent German engineer or techni-
clan, often some one who had
been at work in the factory be.
fore the war began. He indicated
all machines and all remaining
stock and material which could
be utilized in German mills and
factories-and all was carted of
conscientiously into Germany.
German newspapers have openly
advertised sales of woods an d
woolen materials which ca m e
from the plunder OF Roubaix,
Tourcoing and Lille to the am
cunt of hundreds OF millions OF
dollars. In Switzerland German
agents offer at absurd prices
French champaign of the fl RS I
mark. This is not merely an ap-
plication OF the German war pol
icy that to the victors belong
the spoils. 1t should be attribu'
ted, particularly in the case OF
machinery, to the deeper.seated
determination to weaken t h e
productive power of French in
dustry for years to come. Now,
whatever may be the issue OF the
war, it is certain that the ma
chinery which has been taken of
to Germany will never be return
ed-and that it will sooner or la
ter have to be replaced. This
would .happen even if Germany
should win out. completely-a
contingency that need not be
considered. When France reoccu-
pies these .pillaged districts, no
matter what peace may have
been made, the first task will be
to set mills and factories going
again-and machinery, much ma
chlnery, will have to be bought
1t is hard to see where it can be
bought out of America.

4 Severe Winter.
Atlanta Constitution.

O~'Ss~ ""s~ss
Atlanta Constitution.
We are promised q severe win
ter. We have also been told that
it would be a long one. Ifthe lat
ter statement is true itlooks now
as if winter will have long while
to loll in the lap of spring.
According to all predictions,
we should have had our first
good touch OF Winter before now.
Snider, of Griffin, had declared
for it, and nature has been busy
backing him up.
Never in the recollection OF the
Oldest inhabitant, it is said, has
the shuck been thicker on t h e
corn. There we're two or three
more layers OF it than ordinarily
and cooks all summer did over
time preparing green cornfor the
boiling pot.
The thickness OF the corn shuck
is regarded as one Of the most
infallible signs. In fact, it is that
which the larmer swears by. To
him the thick corn shuck means
an early winter and a long and
cold one. The sign did it's duty
all right, but so far odd Boreas'
has not yet responded to it.
Now we are told. that another
and equity infallible sign has been
noted in the far north west. The
bears are fatter than ever before;
they are getting ready foralong,
cold-weather Information. The
Portland Oregonian reports:
"Bear meat is in season now in
Hood River and butchers offer
fat, juicy roasts from these ber-
ry-fed animals. 1t is declared by
hunters that bears were never
fatter than this year, and accor'
dinghy q cold winter is being pre-.
dicted. Charley Abernethy, Of
Mosier, has brought IN one Of the
largest animals for the year. His
bear, killed in the range east oI
this city, weighed 24o pounds
dressed"
Add to the foregoing the fact,
snakes have already practically
disappeared from the woods to
take up winterquarters, and that
squirrels are laying in bigger
supplies OF food than usual, and
it is unquestionably apparent
that there is 70 escaping a long
hard winter-one in which t h {
coal bills are going to leap to
the limit.
The thing that is most worry
ing US is that up to date t h G
signs have failed to bear out th'
weather conditions; or, to stat,
it more accurately, perhaps th'
weather conditions have wholly
ignored the signs.
Nevertheless there isno GROUND
for disappointment. They are in
fallable. There is plenty OF tim
for the severe part OF it, and a
to length we are never reall,
done with winter until the goot
old vertical sun makes the per
spiration pour out in the lat
spring.

Florida Times Union.
Undoubtedly we are on t h e
road to ruin, because we are not
prepared to fight; our honor is
lost, our freedom is but a dream,
and the time is near at hand
when a peaceful Europe will come
over and collect from unwarlike
America enough to resucitate all
that has disappeared in u carni-
wal OF destruction-this is accOr-
ding to Colonel Roosevelt. But
the Colonel is endorsed by his
family-we are losing, because we
have not q merchant marine to
do our business as we'll as be-
cause we have not an army to
fight our battles-wheat and cot
ton are valueless-labor is not
wanted-capital can find moth
ing better to do than prolong
the fighting in Europe! Here is a
picture of our condition from the
loaded brush of Representative
Nicholas Longworth:
"The American people, gentle
men, under this administration,
are riding hell-bent to bankrupt
cy and paying for the privilege
with a war tax. Their bonsted
prosperity has not come. Want
and misery have prevailed in the
land. Some industries, it is true,
are prosperous, but they are in
dustrfes which are not supplying
the American market but h e
markets OF the warning nations
of Europe.
We didn't have any more ar,
my under Roosevelt than We have
now, but it didn't matter then,
lor we had a fighting President.
We had no better merchant ma
rine then, but we rehappy and
passed laws that put out OF &c.
J ton what we had. There were
panics, but these were caused by
selfish capitalists, and it was oul
