GET A FOR THE

ITO bring the average yield OF
corn I'D to forty bushels and the yield
of cotton up TO a bale an acre should
be the ambition Of every Mississippi
farmer, "says j. R. Kicks, Agronomist
and Manager of the Mississippi EX-
periment Station farm.
A long step in the direction OF
more permanent and profitable yields
is the j~udicious growing Of legumln-
Gus crops such as vetch and the clio
vers for the winter use, and beans,
cowpeas. and peanuts for the summer
S Now Is the time to begin
preparations for the winter clover
crops and for providing pasture plants
which will give the maximum amount
of grazing during the coming fall,
winter and spring months.
1t has been estimated by competent
authorities that one acre of good Grim
son clover is worth as much for fer
tilizer as 1900 pounds of cottonseed
meal or 900 pounds of nitrate of soda
Think what such an application of
commercial fertilizer would mean to
an acre of corn, then consider that in
addition to the plant food and the
clover would add to the soil essential,
known as humus or organic matter.
Aside from the fertilizer value must
be considered the important
matter of food production. Realizing
that the feeding of leguminous crops
to live stock will result in a loss of
about twenty-five percent of their fer
tilizer value and with a full appreci-
alton of the tremendous food short
age the progressive Mississippi farmer
will begin plans Immediately for get
ting in a good acreage of crimson
clover and vetch for forage and an
equally good seeding of bur clover
for pasturage.
According to c. ]. Goodell, leader
in Animal Husbandry Extension work
of the Federal Government and the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College, reports are now coming
IN that as a result of severe drouth in
the southwest a great many young
COWS and heifers will be forced on
the, market again this year. accord

Missionary Needs of Java.

The island Of Java is about the size
OF New York state, and has a popu-
lation of over thirty-three millions of
people. A few Dutch missionaries are
working in scattered fields, and the
Salvation army is doing a good work
in some of the larger towns. The
Methodist Episcopal church has about
fifteen representatives. Many of the
missionaries are teaching in the Chi
nese schools, and doing almost nothing
for the native Javanese. Nominally
the people of Java are Mohammedans.
In point of fact, they are only a very
little advanced over their old animistic
religion. The Dutch government is
gradually providing schools which will
give them some knowledge of reading
and writing. The native people of
Java are said to be ready and willing
to receive the gospel message. Wher-
ever aggressive missionaries have been
able to reach them, there have been
definite and encouraging results.

District from the Counties of Telfair,

ty in the lower house for three con-
SeCutive terms, it is but natural that
