MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 40
Charles Harrison. of San Antonio, Rich

Rentz, of Atlanta, appeared today be-
fore the federal grand jury investigat-
ing the activities of the band of train
robbers alleged to have stolen more than
100000 in unsigned currency from a
mail car in West Virginia and looted
a train at Greenville, Ala, of $4,000
several months ago. During the Green

Montgomery, died of apoplexy.
Although no report has been made
in open court officials said that at
least one indictment had been returned
and that trials would begin Monday.
Ihe two Harrisons and Ben F. Mckee,
arrested at Gadsden, Ala, several
months ago, are under indictment charg-

PRICE OF FLOUR SCARS;
ADVANCE MARKED HERE
Price Since Civil War
Many Reasons for
Increase

Flour has gone up another notch in
price and the end does not appear in
sight
An Associated Press dispatch of Tues
day from Chicago says:
THE wholesale price of high grade
family flour was advanced to $40 a bar
rel today, the highest price since the
Civil war. This is an increase of 80
cents within two days"
In Atlanta The wholesale price of
high grade flour Wednesday was $1,000
per barrel. an advance of so cents over
the price last week. The difference in
the prices prevailing in Atlanta and
Chicago is explained by Walker Broth
ers, local wholesalers, on the ground of
freight costs. All grades OF flour have
advanced corresponding:y
Officials of the Atlanta Milling COM
pany state that their standard grade
of flour is now selling wholesale at
1915 a barrel, which is an advance of
80 cents in the past two days. They say
that the increase in the price of flour
has been rapid and that there has been
an advance of 20 cents in the past two
weeks.
The normal price for this standard
grade is $3.50 barrel. In February and
March it was selling from 81 to $3.50
and has been going up steadily, although
there have been some slight downward
fluctuations
The present prices are higher than
since the Civil war when for some time
flour sold as high as $40 a barrel
Several reasons are assigned for the
increase. The surplus wheat on hand
now in the United States for export is
| $4,000, 900 bushels as compared to $780,
0O0,000 bushels in normal times. The
European demand is larger. All exports
from Russia are stopped and there is

crop ripens later than in this coun-
try

sf oats and vetch hay Our experience
has indicated that the planting OF this

combination to grow for hay than hairy

anywhere from one and a half to three
and a half tons of cured hay per acre
from this combination. While a good

depends on the soil. II is important that

to plant some wheat snd oats on second

where had oats this year to turn under
for corn next year. What do you think
Of this method and how should the differ
ent crops be fertihzed:
There is no reason why you should
not plant wheat and oats on second
year new ground. If the land is in
good condition to produce plenty of
straw IL will not be necessary TO apply
nitrogen. If you do use nitrogen, how
81 er, that derived from organic sources
will be the most satisfactory. If you
car find something that will supply IL
I'm cheaper form than cotton seed meal,
such as blood or tankage. do not hesi-
tate to use IL. We believe it important
that some acid phosphate be used under
cereal crops. 1t is our thought that
zoo pounds would be about the right
amount to use. OF course, reference
IS made here TO only the high grade
material: that is. the grade which con-
tains 16 per cent of available phos-
phoric acid. Remember that the ground
should be as we'll prepared as possi-
HE before planting the wheat and oats.
a fine friable seed bed has much to
do with the success obtained with these
crops. Some quickly available nitrogen
can often be applied to wheat and oats
III the Snrlng 10 advantage. we gen
orally use from so to 100 pounds of nj
trate OF soda. War conditions. however.
have made IL practically impossible for
US to secure il at reasonable rates re-
Gently. and we have therefore depend
ed on enriching the land through the
growth and turning under of legumes
or through compost and yard manure.
Top dressing the rye and wheat and
oat land along I'm January with yard
manure would be good practice. We
would then harrow the land slightly.
There is no reason why YOU should
not sow rye after oats for soil improve
ment purposes. 1t is a good crop to use
i'm this manner. provided you turn ii
under when Il is still small You should
not allow IL to make more than six TO
eight inches of top before blowing il

well. You should secure a hardy va
riety If possible. The earliest variety
is the Abruzzi and we think Il an ex-

COMBINING OATS AND VETCH FOR
HAY

G. Is. D.. Rincon, Ca, writes: Will you
kindly advise me what per cent of hairy
vetch should be mixed with oats for an
oats-vetch hay crop to be planted and
harvested i'm the spring?
The amount of hairy vetch seed to
SOW with oats is frequently the subject
OF debate, some persons advocating the
use OF more seed than others. Our prac-
tice on the college farm has been to use
about 20 pounds of hairy vetch with
five or six pecl<s of oats. We mix the
seed together and sow in an ordinary
grain drill. By this arrangement we
secure a uniform distribution of the seed
and its proper covering into the soil.
therefore enabling us to maintain 4
more uniform stand than would other
wise be practicable. We believe, how :
ever that where one has any consider
able area to plant that it is economy TO
use a drill of the character indicated. Of
course, If one only has a small patch
to plant the grain may be broadcasted.
In that event we believe little more
seed should be used Of both oats ami
vetch as IL will not as a rule terminate

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE

industries as well as TO the man who eX-
poets to invest I'm the south and begin
an enterprise under conditions with
which he is not familiar. Aside from
| instruction in the general handling and
! management of live stock, the necessity
OF providing an abundance of food in
/ the form of pastures. silage. dry forage
and grain must be emphasized. In a
measure the question resolves itself
into one of agronomy. In other words,
with the solution Of the feed problem
and the Punishment of the cattle tick,
the development of live stock industries
of immense proportions becomes a prac-
teal proposition. That the agronomy
base of the question can easily be solv-
ed is not difficult to demonstrate. There
are two vast areas of territory included
within the province of the southeast;
the first known as the Piedmont area
and the second as the coastal plains re-
gion. One may properly be designated
grass and forage country, and the
other as a semi-grass and forage coun-
try. In the Piedmont section grass VIII
grow better to advantage and will be
available for a much longer season. 1t
will not be so necessary to depend on
forage crops as substitutes for grass in
the growing season. They will, how
ever. constitute the chief roughage
a "
semi-grass territory cereals seeded in
the fall must be depended upon to pro-
vide a considera BILE part of the winter
grazing. OF course, silage can be used
10 advantage as a substitute for grass.
The cereals must also be utilized for
spring grazing. and then such crops as
cowpeas, velvet beans and other long
season summer growing forage crops
must be depended upon to provide graz

Piedmont territory, however, Bermuda
grass and in some sections. Kentucky
blue grass. red top and other tame
grasses and clovers will provide salts
factory summer ration.
There is a good deal of land which
has been cut over for timber and grows
quite a variety Of native grasses that
will AFFORD a considerable amount of
grazing for many years to come. Lands
of this character are more common in
the coastal plains region than in the
Piedmont section. If a little attention.
is focused on the study OF grasses and
forage crops, il will easily be possible
to secure as much grazing per acre as
can be obtained in any other section of
the country and at equal or less cost.
An acre of Bermuda grass. for instance,
has a carrying capacity equal to that of
the best Kentucky blue grass, and in
fact, one can place more animals on
an acre of Bermuda sod without injury
TO the land than on the same area de-
voted to blue grass. Moreover, the Ber-
muda sod may be developed to a state of
perfection in one or two years, whereas.
blue grass sods improve under proper
MANAGEMENT, say for twenty-five years.
Being familiar with the blue grass coun-
try of southwest Virginia and with the
Bermuda-raising area of the Piedmont
country. 1 feel perfectly safe in making
the foregoing statement, though my
view in this respect may be opposed by
some who possibly have not had the OPP
portunity or facilities TO study the sit
uation.

Crimson clover may be planted in
Jour section of the state from the 18th
Of October to the LIST of November. We
believe IL would have been much bet
ter to get bur clover in the ground IN
late August or early September. Pos
sibly il would do well if planted not
later than the 18th Of October. Our
experience with this clover has led us
TO believe. however, that earlv plant
ing is quite essential We now plant
this clover as soon as we can obtain
the seed in the early summer. This
gives Il a much longe~ time in which

culture from the federal department Oh

think they will send you limited
amount tree Of cost. Apply the culture
according to the directions sent you.
Scatter the clover over the surface OF
the ground and harrow in. 1t is best
to seIecl a cloudy uay for this work.
OF course, If you desire to sow these
two clovers together you could mix
them When tine bur ciover is sown
i'm the bur il is not considered necessary
i'm most instances to use artificial 'inoc-
ulauon. We 90 not beueve a very light
covering of the burs, however, with a
hai row or weeder would interfere with
Une germnaIlon of the seed. In that
event you would project the bacteria
from the effect of the direct sunshine.
Crimson clover, of course, has TO be
seeued each year and as these two
clovers would not deN elOp together as
well i'm our opinion as If seeded sep
arately We would prefer personally not
TO max them, though there is no serious
objection to mixing them. Crimson
clover could be cut and made into a
good hay. The bur clover we think
will give it's best results when sown
on Bermuda sod for the purpose Of inn
proving it for winter grazing.
