DEPT. SUGGESTIONS
Various Farming Matters Discussed
by Director Clarence
ousley.

Commenting upon the fact that the
sandy soils OF East Texas are usually
deficient In plant food and humus, DR..
J. o. Morgan, professor Of agronomy
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Texas, suggests the follow.
ing rotation Of crops as a remedy for
supplying the necessary vegetable
material to the soil:
First crop-Corn.
Second crop - Cowpeas or soy
beans.
Third crop-Cotton.
"This may seem like a very ex.
pensive manner Of getting organic
material into the SOIL" states DR.. Nor
gan. "but It should be remembered
that cowpeas or soy beans may be
grown in the form Of catch crops, fol.
lowing the maturing Of the main crops
in the rotation, thus leaving the land
ready in the spring for cash crops"
Crops for Hogs.
That the greatest profit in feeding
| animals is made where the animals
are allowed to run on pasture, is the
opinion Of the leading stockmen Of
the country. In discussing the ques-
ton of pasture crops. DIR. Morgan
lists the following crops, which make
excellent rotation pastures:
Oats, rye. dwarf esses rape, cor
ghum, cowpeas, soy beans, Spanish
peanuts.
For hog pastures sow sorghum
broadcast about April /, using about
a bushel and a half to the acre. This
will furnish a grazing pasture by
June. Plant cowpeas and soy beans
any time after April /, using a peck
Of seed to the acre, planting in rows
three feet apart. Pasture through
June and July will be furnished in
this way. Spanish peanuts may be
set out from April to July and will
provide pasture all summer into Sep
TENDER. II is best to use two bushels
OF unhulled seed, planting in row

thousand lives can be saved in the

One hundred and fifty million dol

The question Is simply whether the

That Is the succinct summary OF
DR.. Herman VI. Biggs. Health Com

State, securing the cooperation Of To-

and within a reasonable time, reduce
the annual death rate as low as OF
lower than that now existing in New
York City, and thereby save nearly
10000 lives annually.
Not only can these lives be saved,
but at the same time 100000 cases OF

A NEW EPOCH IN THE COTTON
INDUSTRY.

In the articles heretofore published
relative to the Producer-C Consumer
products system | have endeavored to
show the economic value OF the sys-
TEN to the community In which Il is To-
Gated. Now | want you to consider
the proposition from a standpoint OF a
business investment.
IL Is TO the interest OF every business
man in any town to increase the earn
ing capacity OF the farmers In their
community. My system Of preparation
OF cotton products for market increases
the net returns to the producers OF cot
ton, at the lowest estimate, $500 per
bale. Are you interested In accom-
plishing these results?
Now, as al investment. with the
above advantage ove the common
gins now in operation, II is safe to fig
ure on ginning one-half OF the cotton
that comes to Bryan. With an aver
age crop Bryan gins ten thousand balos
OF cotton each season, or we may
safely figure on working five thousand
bales OF cotton, with the probable pos
sihility Of working ten thousand bales.
Our earnings would be:
For ginning 5000 bales cotton
at $3.50 .s12, 500
Profit and 10000 bales bagging
and ties 1850
Working $500 tons cotton seed
at $500 1880
5 per cent commission on 10000
gallons of oil at 4Oc. ........ 1,S00
Gross earnings $2S,O5O
Less operating expenses and
maintenance .............. S,ObO
Net earnings NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Or SO 1-3 per cent on investment Of
$50, 900.
Is It worth your consideration? We
need you to help start this new era In
the cotton industry. Subscribe for

Monticello, With lts View Of the Uni.
varsity Of Virginia.
A mansion on Mo,oicello ("little
mountain" pronounced "Montechel-
lo'). was Jefferson's boyhood dream.
He worked at 1t all his life with an
artists creative zeal.
The road from Charlottesville Is wind
ing, billy and rough. Rows Of big
stepping stones cross it, lifting pedes-
TRANS out Of the red mud. but jolting
needless drivers.
Visitors may stay in the grounds
twenty minutes. but must bring no
luncheons. Jeferson's guests stayed
weeks and ate him into poverty.
From the servants quarters a long
sunken way runs under the house to
the ice house and other storage be-
yond. The fat roof of this walk, two
feet above ground. is a dry promenade.
Over the icehouse Is an outlook plat
form. Icehouse and servants quar-
tiers are half underground, with win
dows only on the far. side. Jefferson
looked out over them east toward
Washington. west toward the Univer-
sity Of Virginia, whose beginnings he
watched with his telescope when he
could no longer walk.
Students enjoy the most beautiful
and inspiring scholastic shades in the
new world. Jefferson's university Is
artistic perfection, reverently preserv-
ed. Toward the town the curved walls
he designed to save brick and labor
for a poor institution still stand. The
length Of each wave line is
twenty feet. Its width, forty inches,
gives the stability Of a three foot wall
to one only four inches thick. The
effect Is pleasing.
Jefferson was a better architect than
Washington. and perhaps his equal in
landscape gardening and estate plan
ming.
On Jefferson's ~gravestone at Month
cello no mention of the presidency is
made. but his authorship Of the Dec
laration and the Virginia statute of
religious liberty is recited and that he
was the "Father Of the University of
Virginia."-New York World.
