Why You Should Grow Clover.

Delaware farmers were among
the first in the United States tC
discover the great value of crimson
clover, and they now grow it very
extensively. The following ex,
tracts from letters from Delawale
farmers to the Delaware expert
ment station show the high regard
in which crimson clover is held:
I'VE have never used any grade
Of commercial fertilizer that gave
us the yield Of corn that clover
sod does"
Il consider the fertilizing value
Of a crimson clover crop as good
as a dressing Of stable manure,
and this | have found worth much
more than any application Of
commercial fertilizer"
1T is impossible to put enough
fertilizer on corn to compete with
the fertilizing value Of crimson
clover"
1T would take twenty two.horse
loads OF manure to the acre to
produe the same results as a heavy
clover Sod"
Crimson clover is equivalent to
twenty loads OF the best stable
manure at one dollar per load,
besides the expense Of hauling"
II do not think that you can
replace crimson clover with ferti.
lizer. 1t will take a coat of stable
manure costing $40 to $25 to do
the same"
I'VE have grown corn ten years
in succession on the same land
with crimson clover. The yield
was twenty-five bushels Of corn
the first year and sixty bushels
per acre the tenth year"
Il would rather have a good
crimson clover sod thanEffteen to
twenty loads Of manure per acre.
My land before the use Of crimson
clover, would not grow more than
ten and fifteen bushels of corn per
acre. Now | can grow ninety to
one hundred bushels per acre and
the land gets better every year. I
get two crops a year, hay and corn
or tomatoes, on the same land"

The Cotton Situation.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 90
President Wilson feels that the
whole maintenance Of the cotton
situation depends directly and i'm
mediately upon southern bankers
and they have only themselves
to blame if it does not come out
satisfactorily" according to a
statement in a letter from Secrp-
tary Tumulty to John L. Nc
Laurin, state warehouse commits
sioner.
Secretary Tumulty's letter was
in reply to the one to the presi-
dent, In his letter, Mr.. McLaurin
charged that certain southern
bankers, working through those
of New Yark, were striving to
force the sale Of cotton at 10 cents

talto Identified VIII Jne OTgaul-
cation known as the Templers
nearly forty years ago. 1t was a
small organization at Mulberry
From THAT time she began to
work for the organization of the
Women's Christian Temperance
union, not perhaps under that
specific name but for such an
organization as she foresaw would
be capable Of the great work it
has accomplished. The success
Of the Tennessee Women's Chris
tian Temperance union has been
her personal work.
In October, 1900, the conven-
ton Of the state W. G. 7. u. met
in GAINESVILLE, Tenn. 1t was at
this convention that Mrs. Silena
Moore Holman was elected state
president, a position which she
has filled with ever increasing
power and honor for the fifteen
consecutive years following her
first election. Seldom has there
been an opposing candidate.
When she took the presidency
the state organization consisted
of less than 200 members in
probably fourteen unions. So
successful has her leadership been
that there are now in the state
more than 1000 members. Ten
nessee now ranks with any other
state in the number of its unions
and it's workers. From feeble
and insignificant organization, it
has attained a position second to
none, built up by the power and
personality of one earnest, devot-
ed and consecrated woman. At
the beginning Of her career not
only her organization but she her
self suffered the severest criticism,
but her dominant characteristic
was an exquisite charitableness,
which even the strongest personal
criticism could never force to
resentment.
She used frequently to remark
hat she never had time to think
If criticism directed toward her.
She followed completely the ex-
ample of her Master, who, when |
He was reviled, reviled not. She
was never known to speak i'll OF
anyone, and has been known on
several occasions to call down
speakers of her organization who
we're INDUCING in personal in-
luendo. From the time when she
ook the state presidency, she has
made a mark as a brilliant officer.

Mrs. Selena Moore Holman was
born near Mulberry in what is now
Moore county, in July, 1850. She
was the daughter of Capt. Lewis
Moore, gallant and popular
Confederate soldier, who died
early during the war from the
effects of a wound. Mrs. Hol-
man, then child of about twelve
years, was left the eldest of a
family of five children. She
stopped school at the age Of four
teen to take upon her shoulders
the burden of educating her
younger sisters and brother. She
began at once to teach, and by
her unaided efforts accomplished
the education Of her family and
cleared her fathers farm Of debt. |
Life was a hard struggle and she
early developed the qualities of
efficient leadership and systematic
management Of affairs, which |
have been so strong a factor in
her life work. She was married
at the age of twenty-four to Dr.
7. P. Holman, a prominent mem
Der Of one Of Lincoln county's
pioneer families. OF this union
eight children were born, all of
whom are now living.
Having acquired her own educa-
ton largely by herself, she be-
came from earliest girlhood an
amnivorous reader. An unusual
ly strong mind was thus stored
with information and the habit of
wide reading remained with her
through life. She was one Of the
best informed women on public
questions, national and interna-
tional, that the state ever had.
1t was not until after her
marriage that she became inter.
ested In temperance work, but
that interest once aroused was at
once destined to become the mo-
tive power Of her life. She be-

Gath Congress Will Be Summoned
Early for Adjournment in Time

Washington, March 4.-After two
years OF almost continuous session the
63rd congress, which revised the
tariff and currency system, supple
mented trust laws, created the income
tax and demonstrated the first popular
election of United States senator's,
was ended at noon today.
Two important measures, the post
Office and Indian supply bills, failed
in the final legislative crush after
desperate efforts to save them.
No Extra Session.
Assurances were given the weary
legislators that no extra session will
be called at Least before fall. 1t is
regarded probable the sixty-fourth
congress will be summoned in Octo-
ber in order to be able to adjourn for
the political conventions and nation
al campaign Of 1916.
Besides the government ship pur-
chase bill important measures forced
over included the Philippines self
government and rural credits legisla-
ton, bill prohibiting interstate
commerce in goods manufactured by
child-labor and conservation bills.
To Conduct Investigation.
Important Investigations are to be
carried on during the recess. There
will be inquiry into alleged lobbying
in connection with the ship purchase
bill, while a commission will study
the rural credits legislation. Demo-
Gratis Of fhe senate appointed a spec
ial committee to recommend revision
of the senate rules looking to the es-
tablishment of cloture of debate to
prevent filibusters.

cred his final farewell. Resolutions
were adopted thanking the speaker,
