Permanent Hay Field.

Editor Ruralist-I have a lot at pres
ent in Bermuda grass that we used as a
permanent pasture. Would like to turn
it into a good hay field. Will you
please let me know just how to go
about it and what seed is the best for
this section. I have Johnson grass in
mind. Would it do merely TO turn the
Bermuda under, break up the sod and
sow broadcast about two and one-half
bushels of Johnson grass?
WILLIAM BUCKLEY.
Fort Payne, Ala.
Reply-We advise, against Johnson
grass unless you want to give your en-
tire farm up to it. Here is good mix
ture for permanent hay field; Red top,
6 pounds; perennial rye grass,
pounds; Kentucky blue grass, 4
pounds; white clover, 2 pounds. Thor
oughly break and harrow land, bet
ter apply one or two tons of lime
broadcast per acre. Sow in September
or early October.

A Neglected Statute

Four years ago the legislature
passed a statute providing for the
use of the Torrens system, and,
like many other measures enacted
by our lawmakers, it is q dead
letter on the statute books.
Perhaps the chief reason why
the Torrens system, which is un-
questionably the ideal plan of
preserving land titles, has never
been employed is the fact that it
was not made compulsory by our
Legislature.
In fact, it is doubtful if the
average lawyer of chancery clerk
knows that such a law is on the
statute books, and, if he is aware
of the fact, few of them have taken
the trouble to acquaint themselves
with its provisions.
The Torrens system is both sim
pie and inexpensive. 1t ought to
be brought into general use. -

The Columbus Dispatch truth

The Columbus Dispatch truth
fully says: "The time has come
in the management of every
newspaper and periodical when
the man who does not pay will
have to be cut off. News stock
has advanced fifty per cent and
with the stock scarce and still
advancing. Inks have advanced
enormously and every factor in
the making of a newspaper has
had a corresponding advance. In
many instances newspapers and
magazines are advancing the
price of their subscription or cut
ting down the size of the paper. +"

After Congressman Mann had
said that President Wilson is try.
ing to work up to the point where
he can get the country into a wal
with Germany during a presiden.
tial year, he began to hear by
wire from his constituents. One
dispatch from Chicago signed by
leading members of the Illinois
Bar Association who are Republi-
cans, said: "Jim Mann is a dis
grace to the United States and the
Republican party and should be
impeached on the motion of a Re-
publican" The Hon. Jim has
also read what the press of the
country has had to say of his
harsh attack on the President,
and now realizes that he has been
completely successful in torpedo.

The only man that has been

hence 1t is not surprising for him
