about the Good Samaritan, has
any nation had the opportunity
of playing the part of the Good
Samaritan in such a lofty and
enviable degree as has the United
States of America today. To
this nation must and will all the
nations of the world turn when
the war clouds shall have disap-
peared-he they must and will
turn for their food stuffs, for
their commerce, for their educa-

of that parable by the Master in
which we are taught that our

can help, and from war she will
refrain. Neutral, it is the presi-

them all when the war is over.
Germany's reply to the presi-

CORN MIXED
WITH SORGHUM
Produces Remarkable SiIage
Crops, Thick and Dense
From the Ground Up
CORN CAN STAND AND RIPEN
Best Way to Plant This Mixture, Mix
About Three Pounds of Sorghum
to Eight Pounds of Corn.

sion, University of Tennessee.)
Tennessee farmers who had the OPP
portunity last summer of passing along
the farm road at the Experiment Sta
ton, from the dairy barn to the river,
must have been. impressed with the
remarkable silage crops on either side
Of the road The chances are that
these were by far the best that they
had ever seen. They were probably
the best that any of US had ever seen.
The crop was thick and dense from
the ground up. Sorghum had been
mixed with the corn in the same row
at the time of planting. The corn
grew tall, with little forage below the
ear, but the sorghum had filled in the
space, making it solid to the ground.
When harvest time came it was pos
sible to allow the corn to stand and
ripen longer than if it had been plant
ed alone, at the same time having it
go into the silo in first-class condition,
because the sorghum had remained
fresh anu SuCCul6uI. bFSu IuUuSl Iu0
corn was ripe, it packed perfectly in
the silo. Another advantage was that
the corn supported the sorghum and
lessened its tendency to lodge.
Maximum tonnage is the matter Of
first Importance in the silage crop.
The highest yields can not be had by
either of these crops alone, but by
combination For this field, the rate
of planting was about eight pounds of
Albermarles prolific corn, and four
pounds of sorghum per acre; but, this
land is rich and we'll titled For poorer
lands the rate of seeding should be
somewhat thinner.
Perhaps the best way to plant this
mixture is to mix about three pounds
of sorghum to eight pounds of corn
before putting the seed into the drill
box. In addition the driver should
carry some unmixed sorghum seed and
pour little on top of the corn fire.
quently as the planting pro-
ceeds. This is the only way to keep the
seed well mixed. Another way is to
plant the corn first and then the
sorghum at subsequent operation.
The only objection to this is the addi-
tional expense to double planting

HIS Coffin Burns,
He Buys Another


Davis Potter, of Cades Cove,
has purchased his second coffin
and it was shipped to him this
week. Mr.. Potter has had a
coffin on hands for about thirty
years, so that when death should
come there would be no difficulty
n getting a coffin in which to
bury him. The coffin which he
has guarded so safely for so
many years was destroyed by
fire several days ago, hence the
reason for MIR. Potter buying his

HoEINe MOST IMPORTANT.

(By c. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
No tillage operation of the garden
is more important than hoeing, and
none is so badly done. Pillow under
and disc in abundant manure; make
thorough preparation with pillow and
disc, with spike-tooth harrow and
planker, or in small gardens with
spading fork and rake; use the best Of
seed and plant at the right time, at the
right depth, and cultivate regularly
and well. All these preparations will
not take the place of good hoeing.
Keep the hoe sharp. Begin using 1t
as soon as the little plants show above
the ground, Hoe very close to the
plants, cutting the soil an inch deep
or so with slanting cuts very close to-
gether. Then smooth the surface with
the back of the hoe, making it dust
fine. Do not hoe after rain until
the soil will crumble, but do not wait
until it is dry. Hoe often. Hoeing
lets air into the soil, and air is as
necessary as moisture for vigorous
root growth. Fine hoeing makes of
the surface mulch that checks the
escape of moisture while admitting the
air Do not hoe deep-two inches is
the greatest depth admissible, and one
inch, or less, is usually best. Do not
cut the soil in big chunks, which will
dry into hard Jumps; such work is
an utter loss of effort. Do not wait
until after the weeds are few inches
high before beginning to hoe the gar
den-hoe early and often.

If / have erred in showing all my heart
And lost your favor by lack of pride;
If standing like beggar at your side
With naked feet, have forgot the art
Of those who bargain well in passions mart,
And win the thing they want by what they hide;
Be mine the fault as mine the hope denied
Be mine the lovers and the losers part.

And take the penance on myself alone;
Yet after have borne the punishment
shall not fear to stand before the throne
Of love with open heart, and make the plea:
At least have not lied to her or Thee!

The President and War

What is declared by republi-
cans and democrats alike to be
one of the greatest state papers
ever framed by the American
government, is that which was
sent last Friday to the imperial
German government by President
Woodrow Wilson, calling the at
tention of that government to
the unlawful and inhuman'
destruction of the Lusitania and
other violations of human rights
on the high seas.
The note has received favora-
BILE comment from officials and
papers of all political faiths, and
President Wilson is praised for
his efforts for peace. In com
menting on the note, the Boston
Herald said that President Will
son has never written a great
state paper more exactly suited
to the occasion, and the New
York Tribune asserts that He
(the PRESIDENT has drawn an in
dictment against the German ma
ton which will lie for for all ages
to come, if the Kaiser's govern
ment fails now to meet the de-
mands of the president of the
United States promptly and COM
pletely. Wronged, we
have offered Germany a peaceful
solution in the present crisis, but
and the presidents message
sums it all up-we shall omit
neither word nor act necessary
to the performance of our sacred
duty"
The New York Sun remarks
editorially that THE note is
impeccably urbane, though not
without little ironies, in its tone,
friendly in spirit, resolute in it's
assertion of American rights, and
of the freedom of the seas. 1t
recalls Germany's contention for
that liberty. The presl-
dent has spoken firmly. The
country, supporting as firmly,
awaits without passion, the Ger
man reply. +"
Expressive of the opinions of
thousands are these words from
the Boston Journal, concerning
the American note: President
Wilson'S words are those of a
patriot. We cannot believe that
a nation which is bound by so
many ties of friendship to this
nation is so far possessed by war
madness that she will fail to heed
the message"

Alfalfa Grown In Cecil County
By COUNTY AGENT MARSH

The great Importance of alfalfa as
a feed for all i've stock is generally
admitted, as it has brought prosperity
to all sections where 1t has been
grown, but especially to dairy dis
tricts. Many people have claimed that
it cannot be grown successfully in
Cecil county.
In order to show that this is an
erroneous idea, Mr.. q. f. Marsh,
County Agricultural Agent, states
that it has been grown with good re-
suits in all parts of the county, and
what one farmer has done another
one can do. The following are only a
few out of large number of those
who have been successful. Mr.. Sam
uel Tyson, Rising Sun. has nine acres
from which he cut thirty-six tons last
season. Owing to late seeding, dry
fall and unfavorable weather condi-
tons his new seeding is not looking
we'll Mr. R. X. rawlings, Rising
Sun, has four acres that was seeded

been heaved up in the least.
Richard Lockwood, Georgetown, has
80 acres of which he is very proud
lhlS held is IN the lower part OF Cecil
county and on land which he says
would not produce thirty bushels of
corn.
Theodore Holden, Elkton, has three
acres which gave a very heavy crop
last season and promises to do the
same again this year. He has five
acres of new seeding that has come
through the winter in exceptionally
good condition.
Haines e. Wilson and f. w. Daw-
son, both dairymen, near Elkton, have
about twelve acres and claim that it
solves the question of profitable milk
production, and will sow larger acre
ages this fall
Otis Cline, Elkton. harvested ten
loads from two acres and states it is
equal in feeding value to bran, and
that his horses will leave green feed
for it.

Soil For The Next Corn Crop

Seedlings Of corn are not nearly so
easily affected by acid water, than are
those OF wheat and especially clover
and the legumes. 1t is a matter of eX-
tenSlVe observation that corn grows
well on mucn land that is imperative
ly IN need of SWeetening for properly
growing wheat and producing any of
the nitrogen liking cops. From these
circumstances, there is wide belief
among farmers that corn land needs
no lime. This belief is confirmed by
official bulletins which class Indian
corn among plants but little benefit
ed by lining The observations up
on which their belief is based are per-
fectly correct and can both be seen, at
the proper season, in many sections
and confirmed in records of expert
ments by several State colleges. And
yet, it is a miscOEceptiOn that has
caused farmers a great loss.
In all cases where corn thrives on
a sour soil, that soil contains an APP
preciable amount of lime, derived Ell
ther from limestone by which it is
underlain, or from decomposing min
erals rich in lime, which is thus being
added in sufficient amount to the soil,
although Ile amount Is lnSulIlclent 1Or
sweetening it. An inexpensive chemi-
cal test will show this and every far
mer should be informed about the
available" lime in his soil. This sim
pie fact has come to light through
comparing corn growth on sour soils
at experiment stations, where it fail
ed, with those of stations where it
succeeded without lime. The fact is,
that corn is very much in need of
lime, both as plant food and for de-
veloping the best possibilities of all
the other plant foods, potash. phos-
phoric acid and nitrogen. added as
mixed fertilizers. But it is best that

INTERESTING TO THE FARMERS

with it, a wasteful consumption of
humus not necessary for corn growth.
If then a farmer lines his clover,
to just the extent required for sweet
ening the soil, the latter will still con-
tain enough lime generally speaking
for the needs of the corn. when it is
reached in a rotation that is not too
long. But, he can only be safe on this
point by having the corn land tested.
The agent for lime can have a test
made by the Lime Service Bureau at
Washington telling if a sample of
soil submitted for the purpose is
sweet or sour, and if sour, if it still
contains enough lime for corn. Where
this is not the case, the soil must have
lime in right amount with the other
fertilizers. The increase, in the ex-
tended Ohio experiments, both with
and without fertilizers, in all possible
combinations, and for six year aver
ages, was ten to twelve bushels per
acre. Farming is a business that is
full of chances and uncertainties. But
a number of these can be overcome if
the farmer sees to it, that he learns
about his own soil what is already
known about soils in general. The
lime manufacturers are giving every
aid to this end as far as their COM
modify is concerned. The farmer must
however, supply a fair average SAM
pie of his soils with which to find out
their lime need.-karl Langenbeck,

In Memoriam

In loving memory of Ida NJ. Armour
who departed this life April 18th,

Out in that beautiful graveyard
My wife sweetly sleeps,
Beneath the cod and silent sod
Under the ground so deep.
The midnight stars are shining,
Upon the silent grave,
Where sleeps my wife
Who we tried so hard to save.
One year has fled and still miss thee.
Friends may think the wound has
healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That's within my heart concealed;
Years may pass and others forget
The loving wife who died,
But to me forever the spirit form
Will linger by my side.
