Savannah Soil.

Can alfalfa be grown on Savan-
nah land? 1t is a black loamy soil
with clay about two feet down. Can
tobacco be grown on it?"
If the Savannah land is perfectly
well drained and very heavily lined
1T might possibly grow alfalfa, but
as rule the water table is too close
to the surface for success with al
falfa. When well drained ii woulo
grow tobacco, but what kind of to-
bacco can anly be found by expert

which varies so much with the char
acter OF the soil as tobacco The
black Savannah soil would hardly
grow bright yellow tobacco, and
more probably would grow the darn

Pruning Scuppernong Vines.

Experiments have shown that the
pest time to prune the Scuppernong
grape vines and those OF the same

OF cutting out all dead and stunted
wood and the preserving of all the
one and two-year-old canes in full
length. One correspondent wants TO

Der OF farmers had assembled. and
OF course they wanted me to make =
speech. l tried to show them what
the leaves do for the corn, and how
the roots supply material, and to
show that so long as the leaves are
green and the shuck on the ear
green, the corn is gaining weight.
and that the stripping of the leaves
while the green ears are sticking
straight up results in the corn drying
up light, and loss to the farmer
fully equal to the value of the fod-
der saved.
1t takes long time to break up
old farm practices, and the strip
ping of the green blades has come
about through the general lack OF
making hay enough for roughage.
AS farmers make more hay from
peas, soy beans and Sudan grass.
there will more corn allowed to ma
ture and be cut at the ground.

Ing out OF recent activities of Ger

those of the British passenger liner

Marina .on which six Americans lost
their lives. Reports from British
sources have said that both ships
were torpedoed without warning.
The American embassy at Berlin
was instructed last week to ask the
German foreign Office for it's version
or the sinking of the Marina. The
embassy has not been heard from
out confidential advices from Berlin
today said the embassy had been in
formed that the incident would be
thoroughly Investigated, but that the
German government had not chang

believe the ship had been attacked
without warning.
Officials fear that the submarines
are operating on such a scale and un-
der such conditions that it may
be impossible for them to avoid en-
