Abruzzi Rye the Best Winter
Cover Crop For The South
From the Progressive Farmer.

Abruzzi rye as combination win
ter cover crop and grazing crop for
the South has no equal. And when
planted in the cotton fields imme-
dlately after the first picking, this
rye quickly makes heavy growth.
and by December or January is ready
for grazing. Ordinarily two or three
months grazing can be had before
time to pillow under the hye for spring
planting of other crops. Two pur-
poses are thus filled: First, a cheap
and nutritious green crop is provided
for the cattle during the winter
months; and, second, a cover crop
protects the land from washing and
teaching by hard winter rains and
conserves the fertility of the SOIL
For cover crop purposes only
Abruzzi rye is the most valuable crop
we have for light lands and for con-
ditions where leguminous crops will
not thrive or where the land is re-
CURED for spring planting before the
clover crops have attained full
growth. Vetches, clover and other
leguminOus crops are also good for
cover crop purposes, but the fact that
these crops in the South do not make
a heavy winter growth before time
for blowing makes them of less value
than heavier, earlier growing crop.
Compared to native varieties of rye
Abruzzi makes at least double as
much cover crop growth. After many
years of experiment on our own
farms, and from experiments con-
Quoted by hundreds of the larger
farmers all through the South, we are

Subscriptions Coming In.
The drive for the loan in this the
Sixth federal reserve district, is be-
ing pushed vigorously.
Though the campaign has just be-
gun subscriptions are being received
at the federal reserve bank at a rate
of several hundreds of thousands of
dollars daily. A subscription for
$250,000 worth of the bonds has been
received from the Citizens and South
ern bank, of Savannah. The National
City bank, of Tampa, Fla, and the
Third National bank, of Knoxville,
Tenn, have each bought 100000
worth of the bonds.
The indications are that the $780,
100000 of bonds allotted this district
will be disposed of.
The Man of Moderate Means.
The fact should be borne in mind
that this is not bankers campaign,
not matter which concerns fnan-
ciers only. 1t is a matter in which
the whole country is vitality interest
ed, and one in which every man and
woman must do their share. Bankers
and big business men will do their
part, but the success of the campaign
depends on the liberality with which
the small buyer responds.
The man of moderate means, who
can afford to buy only one or two
of the $50 bonds, is just as much in
terested and his duty is just as great
as that of the wealthy man.

OPPOSES FIXING THE
PRICE OF COTTON
DELEGATES FROM TEN SOUTH
ERN STATES HOLD CONVEN-
TON IN NEW ORLEANS.

A price of 80 cents a pound to the
farmer was agreed upon at a meeting
in New Orleans of men interested in
marketing and growing of cotton in
ten Southern states as being justi-
fled by the present selling prices of
manufactured cotton products. The
price was suggested in an amend
ment to a resolution adopted Just
previously which declared against
price regulation of cotton by con-
gress or delegating of this authority
to any other body.
Attitude of Georgia Delegation.
The Georgia delegation, headed by
j. j. Brown, agricultural commission
er, opposed federal fixing of the
price of cotton, and urged instead
the creation of an official marketing
board through which to obtain cor
rect estimate of a fair and equitable
price.
The resolution relative to cotton
price fixing as adopted states in
part:
eve believe that cotton is worth
all it will command in the markets
of the world, and that in view of
the absolute necessity of stimulating
production in order that future fam
inc and prohibitive prices may be
avoided and in view of existing eco
nomic conditions and the fact that
we are now facing our third short
crop in succession we feel
that cotton should command value
commensurate with the laws of sup
ply and demand even to the extent
of putting it above a parity with 9TH
er products.
30-Cent Minimum Fixed.
we are opposed to congress fixing
a price on cotton by law or delegat-
ing the authority to do so to any one
else, and we urge that no action be
taken along this line.
at is the sense of this meeting
that the present selling price of man
ufactured cotton goods fully justifes
price of not less than 80 cents
pound to the farmer.
1--WE believe that the proper value
for cotton can be obtained by intelli-
gent marketing and not by selling on
declining market, and selling only
sparingly on advancing markets, and
we urgently request the cooperation
of the merchants, bankers and ether
business interests of the cotton
growing states in the marketing of
this product"
Georgia Defeated Federal Control
1t was Georgia that prevented the
passage of a resolution indorsing
government control of cotton. Geor-
gia led the fight against it because
federal control would have meant the
control by three-fourths of the states
which are non-producers and large
consumers of the one-fourth that are
producers of cotton.
Georgia was represented in the
convention by j. J. Brown, commits
sioner of agriculture, J. H. Mills, of
Jenkinsburg, president of the Geor-
gia Farmers Union, and L. B. Jack
son, of the Georgia Bureau of Mark
! cts.

PAIR CONFESS Staying
THEIR DEFORMED BABY
Infant With Club Feet and Twisted
Limbs Bled to Death and Re-
mains Burned in Crate.

NASHVILLE. Tenn.-F nding
their infant at birth clubfooted and
deformed, Lonnie Wilson and his
wife bled the baby to death and then
burned the body in the fireplace of
their home. This confession was
made by the parents during their
trial here on a charge of numbering
the baby.
The infant was born last May. 1t
was clubfooted and the lower limbs
were twisted. After a day or two
the parents decided to put the child
to death. A vein was opened. After
it had bled until life appeared extinct
they pricked it with a pin.
The little form ceased to move.
Then they put it in the CRATE and
built fire over it.

The second liberty loan campaign,

machine of many parts has been set
in motion. Fifty per cent. greater
than the first liberty loan, the present
offering is the largest the American
people ever have been called upon to
absorb. Five billion dollars and 10,-
100000 ubscribers-that is the goal
which officials hope to reach during
the next three weeks. The services
of virtually every industry of the
nation have been enlisted. Hundreds
of thousands of individuals, firms and
corporations will unite in giving all
or a part of their time in carrying
the work forward.
Making Long Tour.

paign formally with a speech in
Cleveland, o., and then started on

the subscription books close.
