GROWS $50 BUSHELS
CORN ON ten ACRES
s. c. Goggn, OF Campbell County, Va.
Uses Old Alfalfa Sod With
Unusual Results.

Nine hundred and ninety bushels OF
shelled corn from ten-acre field,-an
average of SO bushels per acre-is the
record crop grown by S. G. Goggln, IN
Campbell County, Virginia, last year.
The land upon which the corn was
grown was an old alfalfa sod which
for several years had been either
mown OF grazed to hogs. The corn
was planted May and 7, in rows
three and one-half feet apart and the
average distance of the corn in the
rows was Is inches. The corn was
gone over twice with the weeder be-
fore it came up and given three shall
low civilizations. Just before the last
cultivation COW peas were planted,
which were disked down to SOW wheat.
Three hundred pounds of fertilizer
was spread broadcast and narrowed
IN before the corn was planted. W. E.
Macdonald, farm demonstration Of Or
ange County, in commenting upon this
crop points out that alfalfa is valuable
not only as a forage crop but also as a
soil builder, as shown by Mr.. Goggin's
results with corn following alfalfa.

VALUE OF ALFALFA
SHOWNBYRESULTS
New Jersey Farmer Has Been
Growing Crop Since 1895
' With Great Success.

alfalfa is the greatest stuff IN the
world" says John P. Nelson, OF near
Allentown, N j., who has been grow
ing alfalfa since 1895, and who now
has 105 acres of "the finest in New
Jersey" 1t took Mr.. Nelson six years
to get good stand and to learn how
to grow the crop, but since 1901 he has
had no failures with it. He says:
alfalfa fails only when you don't
treat it right"
The advantages of alfalfa are that
when you get a stand of it, you don't
have to reseed every year. How often
do not know, as l have some that
has been moved three times each year
for six years and it is getting better
right along. 1t makes the best kind
of hay for all kinds of stock. Some OF
my horses eat it before they do their
grain," declares Mr.. Nelson. Cows
will give more milk when fed on
alfalfa hay than they will on fodder

Do You Use Gas?

If you do come to W. E. Shirer and
inspect and have demonstrated to you
the Direct Action Gas Range, with the
regular cooking top and the Direct
Action Oven with the freless cooker
convenience added. The oven is the
most essential part of all ranges and
this range possesses the most marvellous
oven yet produced which is a cooking
oven as welt as a baking oven and can
be used to boil and bake at the same
time.
The oven of this gas-range is operat-
ed on a distinctly new principle. The
burners are placed in the oven itself;
hence the name, "direct action" In
design the range is on efficient cabinet
type with comfortable working height
of thirty-two inches. Connected with
the oven is thermostat which reduces
automatically the amount of gas allow
ed to flow through the burner at any
temperature indicated. Thus ct 200
degrees F. only sub flame burns, while
if the thermostat is set FOR a tempera-
ture of 300 degrees F. the turner's show
full flame until 1926 degrees F. is
reached, when the supply OF gas is cut
off and the flame is reduced to a mere
pin-point, capable of maintaining the
temperature set. With this arrange
ment an oven of known temperature
can be indefinitely maintained, and this
is a marked advance in gas-cookerY.
The food is first placed in the oven, the
gas is then lighted, and the thermostat is
set for the desired temperature. The
practical results obtained in this oven,
as well as the temperature readings,
show it to be an excellent investment.

STARTING CROPS ON THE JUMP
Good Seed And Seeded With Plenty
OF Plantfood Needed.

Starting alfalfa on the jump requires
that the seed bed be well prepared
and that the plants be given plenty OF
plant food. Alfalfa requires a rather
compact seed bed. Its preparation de.
ponds upon the preceding crop to
great extent. When seeded after early
crops, such as potatoes, the need of
summer following is eliminated and
the farmer gets a market crop during
the same season. The general prac.
tice is TO pillow the ground early, har-
row each week or ten days, until the
weeds are killed and the fine, firm bed
that is required is obtained. Many
farmers have received good stands by
seeding in the corn before the last
cultivation.
To secure quality seed, it is best tC
test several different samples for pur.
ity and vitality. Five to rs pounds per
acre are recommended by various en-.
pertinent stations. Often the best re.
suits cannot be obtained without in
oGulation. Commercial cultures recon
mended for alfalfa incubation, car
be secured. Lime must be added
if the soil is sour, and from zoo
to 500 pounds of a fertilizer high
in phosphoric acid should be applied
previous to or when the seed is sown
Profitable alfalfa culture is not diff
cult, if careful attention is given to
details, from the preparation of the
seed bed TO the curing Of the hay.

The kind of soil on which to grow

be done. Plow deep, use at least ton

DADDY LONG LEGS"
AT THE JEFFERSON
EARLY NEXT WEEK
Author of Noted Comedy Is
Now Dead-Play Was One
of the Successes of
Last Season

touch of sadness will attend the
showing here of Hean Webster's de-
lightfully human comedy, Daddy
Long-Legs." which will be at the JEFF
ferson theatre Monday, October 80.
This will Nbe due to the fact that since
the play was seen here last season Miss
Webster has been called to the
great beyond remaining only little
time to reap the rewards of her suc-
cess.
With the publishers and managers
clamoring for another production from
her pen in the last days of her life,
she wrote "The Dear Enemy which
is said to be almost as good as Daddy
Iong-Legs." 1t is to be produced dur
ing the year and will be a companion
production to Daddy LongLegs."
No play in recent years has scored
such a success as did Daddy Long
Legs" and as is not always the case
1t was just as great a success in
the east as in the west, while the south
went wild over it. In Birmingham IL
was one of the events of the theatrical
season and it is one of the few plays
which appeared here last year will re-
turn.
= The secret of the instantaneous APP
prevail of the comedy by the great
theatre going public is that it has that
indefinable touch known to, writers
and newspaper people as human inter-
est" 1t goes straight to the heart
from the opening of the curtain until
it falls with every one reunited and
happy. In no scene is this stronger
than in that one which shows the for
mer inmate of an orphanage in q fash
ionable girls school surrounded by
aristocratic friends and still maintain
ing her pride and her secret.
