''N0BBY" TREAD IS BEST
FOR TRUCK TIRE USERS

Announcement has just been made
by the United States Tire company.
through its president. James Newton
Quinn. that q recent performance OF
United States "Nobby" Tread cord
tires for trucks bids fair to revolu-
stionize the truck tire business.
These tires used on Packard one
and one half ton truck. Of similar spec.
ifications to military trucks. proved
far more economical OF gasoline and
oil. and gave greater gross mileage I'M.
der almost unbelievably impossible
conditions. than solid truck tires have
ever done.
Beyond this operating economy was
the equally amazing fact that after
4.2SS miles of the seyerest kind of
transport conditions the truck was
found to be in practically perfect con-
dition. This was possible only be-
cause the pneumatic tires absorbed
fully 30 per cent Of the terrific road
vibration to which the truck chassis
mechanism is subjected when running
on solid truck tires.
The test was made under the per-
sonal supervision OF First Lieutenant
J. w. O'Mahoney, former United
States motor-tr,lck transport expert
who until last March was in COM
mand of Motor Truck Company No. 35
stationed on the Mexican border.

WADE's LETTER

The United States department of agri-
culture is out with a statistical report
showing that Alabama is leading all the
southern states in increased acreage de-
voted to food crops. This is very COM
plimentary showing for our farmers. Our
agricultural army has answered nobly
the war call for more food and under
very trying circumstances some of which
were adverse weather conditions, labor
migration, credit stringency and scarcity
and high prices for food and feedstuffs
1t is indeed a fine showing and demon
strait of determined and responsive
citizenship unexcelled in the south and
worthy of congratulations.
Just few more weeks OF shallow and
frequent cultivation for late corn, cot
ton and a few other late crops will win
the victory for Alabama BY shallow
cultivation is meant to keep the surface
pulverized about an inch deep, being
careful not to disturb the root system
near the plants. By frequent cultiva-
ton is meant to refresh the surface at
least once week, especially after every
rain, to prevent moisture from escaping
rapidly, to keep the crops growing and
fruiting, and prevent vegetation from
growing and sapping moisture and plant
food. With little more effort and mois-
ture, Alabama will have the largest food
crop in her entire history
The profits which our farmers are due
for their years labor win be more easily
obtained by carefully systematized mar

ORDER FERTILIZERS EARLY

of equipment, the railroads should have
as much time as possible to plan for
moving the fertilizer. Early orders
will give them a knowledge of the
number of cars that will be needed
The national council of defense has
sent out bulletin on this very sub
ject, urging farmers to order their fall
fertilizers early so full carload ship
ments might be made and the largest
amount of human food produced
The United States department of ag-
riculture through the states reLStions
service and bureau of Soils and agrs-
cultural colleges and county agents,
are advising the same.
The railroads are very urgent about
the matter. The fertilizer manufac-
turers are offering to help the dealers
and farmers as much as possible to
overcome the transportation difficult
ties.
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half the cars ordinarily
used for hauling fertilizers could do
the business, if only they are loaded
to their maximum capacity.
Where full carload cannot be
made up for We destination, then It
is to be filled with orders for neigh
boring stations along a railroad

Increase of labor is hardly to be

Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except at

The railroads can't do the business

LATE POTATOES

Many seem to think the second crop
of potatoes must be put In as early
as the latter part of June in order to
90 well. But such is not the case. The
best second crop of Irish potatoes is
usually planted the latter part of
July.
To succeed with the second crop of
Irish potatoes the soil must be put in

plant and secure a good yield. Break

til in fine seed bed condition, then fer
tilize well. plant and cultivate with
as much care as for cotton crop, and
then the chance is 10 to / that a good
yield Will be made, providing the
weather conditions are satisfactory.
In the lower part of the southeast
many people seem to have reached
the conclusion that no potato except
the Lookout Mountain will produce a
good yield as a second crop. This IS
not true. Probably this is the best
variety, but many others produce fair
ly well, among them being the Green
Mountain. Burbank and even the regu-
lar spring varieties like the irish
Cobbler, Early Rose, etc. Many have
succeeded real well with the Early
Rose by planting the spring grown
seed. using the smaller potatoes, those
about the size of a quarter or a half
dollar. When planted this way use
the whole potato, not cutting at all.
From a week to 10 days before plant
ing. if the spring grown potatoes are
used they should be spread in shady
place. covered with straw and mois-
tened enough to start the potatoes to
sprouting. Do not let the sprouts be-
come long before planting. but some
thing like a quarter of an inch. Plant
late in the afternoon or very early in
the morning
Securing a good stand is the prin-
cipal trouble with this crop If this
is secured, half of the battle is won.
When planting, the seed should be
covered at least four to six inches
deep. BY all means try to plant when
there is a good amount of moisture
in the land, as deep planting is neces-
sary in order to prevent the drying out
of the seed. Shallow planting will re-
suit in a failure nine times out of ten.
If the Lookout Mountain, Green Noun
tain or Burbank can be had, we'll and
good, and if not go ahead and plant
the spring-grown crop, but be sure to
start them sprouting before planting.
OF course the large seed can be used,
and if it is it should be cut in the
usual way, except possibly larger
pieces should be used

SILO FOUNDATIONS

Regardless of the material of which a
silo is constructed, concrete has been
accepted as best for the foundati ton and
floor at the bottom. The customary ex-
cavation is four feet to get the founda-
ton we'll below the frost line. For the
construction of the silo itself, here are
the principal materials that have stood
the test of usage: Wood slaves of cy-
press, redwood, Oregon fir, and yellow
pine reinforced solid concrete, reinforced
concrete blocks, glazed hollow tile, nom
porus brick, pure iron, alleged metal,
and stone. There are various modifica-
lions and combinations of materials,
such as cement, stave silos, wood silos
plastered inside with cement. and vars
Gus paneled and patent slos of spe-
cial construction. But if the inside wall
is smooth, vertical and air-tight, any
silo will keep it's contents in satisfac-
tory condition.
June, July and the first part of Au-

foundation, because the ground is dry
and easily excavated. And by the time
the foundation has hardened 1t is we'll

Hogs are very fond of sweet clover roots
and should be ringed before being turned
on the pasture. The tendency to root may
generally beovercome by adding some pro-
TEN to the grain ration. Meat meal serves
this purpose very well.
SHEEP RELISH 1T
Sheep relish sweet clover and make
rapid gains when pastured on it. Care
must be taken to see that pastures are
rot overstocked with sheep, as they are
likely to eat the plants so close to the
ground as to kill them. This is especially
true the first year before the plants have
formed crown buds Yellow biennial sweet
clover probably will not suffer from this
cause as much as the white species, be-
cause the plants make a more spreading
growth and are not likely to be eaten so
closely to the ground
Horses and mules do well on sweet clo-
yer pastures. On account of the high pro-
tein content sweet clover provides excel
lent pasture for young stock. No cases
of SOLDERING have been noted with
horses.

SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE

With the exception of alfalfa on fertile
soils, no other leguminous crop will fur

early spring until late fall as sweet clo-

never been fed sweet clover may refuse

as soon as the plants start growth. There
is practically no danger from bloat from
sweet clover, according to farmers bulle-
tin $40, sweet clover utilization, which
has just been issued by the United States
department of agriculture.
When sweet clover has been seeded two
years in succession on separate fields, the
fields sown the first yeaE may be pas
tured until the middle of June, when the
stock should be turned on the spring
seeding. When handled in this manner
excellent pasturage is provided through
out the summer and a hay or seed corp
may be harvested from the field seeded
the previous season.
Some of the best pastures in Iowa con-
sist of a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass,
timothy and sweet clover. On one large
farm stock is pastured on meadows con-
tanning this mixture from the first part
of April to the middle of June. From

Der the stock is kept on one-half to two
thirds the total pasturase acreage. The
remainder of the pasture land is permit
ted to mature a seed crop. Usually from
2 to bushels per acre of recleaned seed
is obtained from this portion of the pas
ture. After the seed crop is harvested
the stock again is turned on this acreage
where they feed on the grasses and first
year sweet clover plants until cold wealth

crop is out is usually sufficient to re-
seed the pasture.

EXCELLENT FOR HOGS
Sweet clover has proved to be an ex-
cellent pasture crop for hogs. 1t is usual
ly seeded alone and pastured for two
seasons. The hogs mway be turned on
the fields the first year as soon as the
plants have made six-inch growth. Fro
this time until late fall an abundance
of forage is produced as pasturing in

second season may begin as soon as the
growth starts in the spring. If the field
is not closely grazed the second season
it is advisable to clip it occasionally,
leaving an eight-inch stubble, so as to
produce a more succulent growth.
An acre Of sweet clover pasture ordi-
narily will support 20 to 30 shotes, in adj
dition to furnishing a light cutting of
hay. For the best growth of the hogs
they should be fed each day two pounds
of grain per hundredweight of the stock.
