Last Saturday sure-enough busy
day in Somervile. More than one hun
bred bales of cotton were sold here, and
the town was full most of the day with
buyers who had money to pay for their
purchases. Cotton and seed were bring
ing good prices and growers were pay
ing debts and buying needed goods and
all the business men wore broad smiles
for the good day they were having.
We are planting ten acres in rye with
crimson clover with part and winter
vetch with the other, three acres, in
wheat with red clover, and it is all up
to fine stand and growing nicely.
Besides this we have a big patch of
rape and a big lot of turnips, beets,
ETC., for green feed for poultry. pigs
and calves this winter, ard with the
hay shortage now apparent ell these
will be needed. Then we are seeding
enough fall oats to tide any shortage OF
grain in the early spring. We believe
this the best thing to do.
