CROWNS OF ALFALFA
ON THE HILL SIDES
(By J. c. McAmis, Division of lxten.

sion, University of Tennessee.
A few days ago visited Mr.. MCGEE,
in Bradley county, Tennessee, who has
a fine demonstration of a good mix.

was growing alfalfa. successfully on
what was one time about the poorest
hilly land on his farm. | say sue.
.cessfully, because he has cut twenty
tons Of alfalfa hay per acre in five
years, and there remains a good stand,
well established by now
Every farmer ought to see and learn
the lesson. At the time the alfalfa
was seeded a fence was built to sep
arate it from the rest OF the hillside
which was being used for pasture. On
one side of the wire fence is success
fui alfalfa, on the other is a worn, red
clay knoll very thinly covered with
sedge and cedar bushes, a sight all
too common in Tennessee. The differ
snce has been brought about by plenty
of lime and phosphate, and little
manure.
Most farmers select their bottom
lands for alfalfa. This one did not.
He knew that the bottom lands were
better supplied with nitrogen than the
uplands. He remembered that alfalfa
was a legume, and when lined and
!noculated, should take it's nitrogen
from the air, and that corn could not.
Therefore, he knew that alfalfa would
have relatively better chance on hill
lands than corn. He acted on his be-
lief and four tons of alfalfa hay per
acre annually, for five years, hasscon-
vinced him absolutely that he was
right 1t has convinced his neighbors,
too.

SUDAN GRASS
(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee,)
Sudan grass Is dwarf sorghum. In
appearance It resembles Johnson grass,
but the advantage Tor disadvantage as
the case may be- of the Sudan grass
lies in the fact that it is an annual
plant and does not reproduce from
the roots.
In the common system of cropping
in Tennessee il can be more appro-
priately compared to millet, though
the two plants are not similar in ap-
pearance. The chief advantage that
it has over millet, is that it produces
second cutting and often a third.
After cutting 1t may be used for pas
ture.
Cowpeas, or an early variety of soy
beans, may be sown with 1t.
The chief objections to Sudan grass
are:
/. The high price of seed.
Q. The danger of the seed being
mixed with Johnson grass.
g. That 1t is not legume.

Last year one man in Williamson
county slipped around and watched
the methods used in growing corn by
one of our demonstrators and made
fun of his methods, and poked fun at
the idea OF an old farme9 tal.ii,g adj
vice from a boy. But this year he
bought a tool like the demonstrators
and worked his corn up to within a
few rods Of the fence under our meth
DDS, and then used the old method.
The demonstration methods must
have some good points.-Neely Bowen,

HALL DANCES TO BE ON GENERAL
 ADMISSION PLAN

R. T. Turner has decided that, while more profitable. the ten-cent-a-dance dances are not enjoyed as greatly as those dances where a general admis- sion is charged. and he win change the plan at Turner hall SO that here after an admission will be charged Of S1 per couple.
 "The lO-cent dances frequently draw an element Go the dances that is unsatisfactory" said Mr. Turner, "and there are many other things that count in favor of the dances where @ general admission is charged. The ladies enjoy themselves more, because of the longer rests and the chance to choose the dances they de- sire occasionally lt also gives them the opportunity to prolong Q dance they are enjoying"
 Mir. Turner's dances last winter where general admission were charged. were very successful, and the dance last Saturday was we'll at- tended and hugely enjoyed.

MUTINAES I TN INDIA
 REPORTED

WASHINGTON, Nov g. - Through the thick veil which British censor ship has thrown about events in In- dia and Egypt comes a statement to- day that Nawab, Sultan of Ulmuk and Nizam Df Hyderabad India, ono of tho most influential native princes and a staunch supporter of Great Britain. has been deposed by his people. This development, coming as one of the cli- maxes to successive reports of nut mics ard unrest, many of which have been sibstantiated and admitted by the British government is said to be the lealiing reason for Lord Kitchen CTS departure from London. The in- formation is reaching the United States through channels not subject to censnrship and coupled with repeat ed rumors of the activities of German agents ln fomenting discontent among the native population Of India have come reports of dissatisfaction in Egypt. also ascribed to the same sources
 Since the Turks failed to take suez Canal mainly through the prompt ar- rival of Colonial troops from New Zealand and Australia 1t has been al- 80 reported that agents from Con- stantInople have been conducting persistent propaganda of revolt among the natives of Egypt and India.
 The Washington Star published the following today: "Kitchcner's ultL mate mission during his mysterious absence from the British war office is said by confidential information re- celved here today. to be India, where, according to the same infor- nation British rule is confronted with more serious state of unrest than has generally been known outside of British official circles.

 Godfrey had been hunting on the Pelly. and shortly before navigation in the Pelly closed arrived at the mouth of the Pelly with two small raits, on one of which he had pitched a tent which covered his bunk. He went ashore at Shafer's road house talking until quite late. He then went out and said be was going to sleep in his tent on the raft. Shortly ai- terward Mir.
