tivated fields and i'm garden plots. We
have not found this sucn difficult un-
dertaking as to prove very disheartening.
our method has been to pillow the Ber-
muda sod i'm the fall. shallow blowing
is advisable. The roots are then worked
out as much as possible by narrowing
and hauled off the land and turned.
The ground may then be seeded to oats
or any other winter cover crop. Some
crimson clover and hairy Vetch should be
seeded with oats so as to provide dense
bottom as this more thoroughly helps
to choke out the Bermuda grass. The
crop i'm question may be cut and har-
vested for hay and the land may be
disced and seeded to cowpeaS- thought
velevt beans may be used. In fact, any
crop that will act as smother can be
utilized to advantage. II is important
to fertilize the peas literally with, say
800 pounds of acid phosphate and on acid
soils the use of lime will be found adj
Nisable. As soon as the peas are ready
TO make into hay they should be cut
and the land may then be planted to
oats, crimson clover and vetch The
next summer use peas again. The per-
sistent cultivation of the land with the
crops indicated will enable you to etfec-
lively smother out and get rid. of Ber-
muda grass. At the same time you can
improve your land and secure valuable
crops therefrom-

There is of course danger of calves
bloating when turned on fresh, young
alfalfa. Unless they are well accus-
toned to green feed they are likely to
engorge themselves very quickly with
the result that a large amount of gas
is developed which they can not get
rid of and more or less. serious cases
of bloat are likely to develop. If the
calves were accustomed to green feed
by having some Of it placed before them
daily for some time they might be turn
ed on alfalfa without so much danger
of bloating.
We do not think you can secure
enough advantage from grazing alfalfa
TO Justify you in using ii in this man.
ner Here on the college farm at Athens
we have been able to grow an average
of five tons year in and year out. We
have secured five cuttons per year OF
approximately a ton at each cutting. II
We had graZed these areas which have
now been producing for several years
we would have destroyed the stand
without gaining the advantage in the
way of hay production which has ac-
crued by using alfalfa in the form OF
hay. In our experience it has not been
good practice to cut alfalfa late in the
season, thereby leaving the crowns bare
during the winter and exposing them to
the rather frequent freezes which oe-
cur in the south.
In cases of bloat many simple RENE
dies may be used. Where the Nanimals
can be under observation and treatment
quickly applied, give turpentine as 9
drench in half ounce doses diluted In
very considerable quantity of milk
Baking soda i'm two-ounce doses or q
liberal dose of salts will be found sat
isfactory Salts should be used at the
rate of one pound for an adult animal
Calves should receive a proportionate
amount according to age and size. In
extremely bad cases tapping may be-
come necessary but should only be re-
sorted to in cases of an emergency.

Among the best varieties Of cotton you
can secure for growth under boil Wee
vii conditions i'm Mitchell county, Ga,
would be Covingtou. Toole, Trice, sun
beam. Cleveland's Big Boil and DTice.
CovingtOn's TOole has the advantage of
being strongly resistant TO the wilt dis
ease. Hence. il is best to use this va
riety on ground infested withe fungi
which produces the wilt disease. The
other varieties are relatively early and
are good standard sorts of cotton. We
are inclined TO think we would favor
them over the Early King. What you
need under boil weevil conditions is a
variety Of cotton that continues to fruit,
thereby inducing the weeyils TO remain
on the top of the plant as il We're and
giving the early set hollis an opportunity
TO develop and mature.
There is nothing better TO use for pas
turage purposes in your section of the
state than Bermuda grass. Next to
that would come the Paspalums and the
Louisiana Carpet Grass. You should OF
course establish bur clover on bermuda

ably grow some red top and alsike clover

Also he predicted a Now place among

declared this nation could never remain

war. he advocated establishment of a
league for enforcing peace.
The President said the Democratic
party not only fulfilled its own pledges

neglected.

Craft Driven Off by British

Greatest Attack so Far
Made on England.

CBy the International News Seryfce-)
London, Sept S-(Sunday)-The great
est Zeppelin attack on England yet at
tempted took place last night and early
this morning.
Great numbers of Zeppellns took part
in the attack, the objective Of which was
London
Several OF the raiders reached London
and hovered over the metropolis for more
than half an hour dropping bombs. They
finally were driven OF by the British
guns and swarms Of aeroplanes which
ascended to attack.
One Zeppelin was shot down. High In
the air 1t burst into flames in the view
Of thousands who had ascended to roofs
to view the mighty spectacle. 1t fell
within the city limits
The authorities have as yet been una
BILE TO make an estimate of casualties
and damage done in the air invasion.
Sir John French, commanding the Home
Forces, made public the following state
ment at o'clock this morning:
The attack during the night was made
by the largest number of air ships which
has ever raided England. The eastern
counties and London were the objective.
The attack on London was beaten eff
and one raider brought down in flames.
Many bombs were dropped on widely
separated localities. No report of cas-
udllltS Ut udIlld5GS HAS YET Dtth 10
ceiyed."
The raid was in progress more than
four hours, coast cities being the first
to nc attacked.
The attack on London was the most
extensive and probably resulted in the
most damage to the city of any since the
war began Large fires are reported to
have started at many points from ex-
plOsions and incendiary bombs.
From the roof of the International
News Service Office the London staff
witnessed the fall OF the Zeppelin 1t
was one OF the most impressive sights
that can be imagined. The great raider,
staggering in the air, burst into a vivid
sheet of flames against the sullen sky.
Slowly at first 1t descended, and then
Catapulted headlong to earth, while it
seemed as II sigh of relief and amaze
Tent could be heard to ascend from the
City's roofs and streets.
There was no sleep in London tonight
Early the word that Tho Zeppelins are
coming" had been flashed to the Metrop-
oils. The city became dark.
Later from the distance, dull explo-
sions could be heard, like the far-ofr roar
Of artillery. Like beats Of a drum the
sound came nearer until the air reverber-
ated with the conclusions Of mighty
blasts that struck the city like titan's
hammer.
