Use of Cover Crops.
Winter cover crops of rye and
vetch, oats and vetch, are valu-
able because they do the follow
ing things:
61. Prevent winter washing of
the soil.
2. Prevent teaching out of
soluble nitrates found in the soil.
This one factor is enough to pay
for seeding eInens IS.
3. furnishes winter grazing.
/ 4. Adds humus to the soil by
giving green material to plow in.
This serves to warm up a cold,
hard soil, put it into better tilth,
cause it to dry out less easily and
have greater supply of availa-
BILE fertility.
5. Increases the nitrogen con-
tent of the i'll in case legumes
are used as cover crops.
First Cooperative Shipment.

The first work for the above ap.
pointed committee, following out the
program for National Defense will be
to increase the wheat production o1
Noxubee County, and to stimulate the
seeding of winter crops, especially
abruzzi rye and vetch.
Provisions are already made for Or
dering in the proper variety of wheat.
We must insist on seeding wheat or
pea, bean, melilotus, or other land on
which a legume has grown, and an
adequate use of acid phosphate, except
on black prairie or fertile bottom soils.
For the county to produce its own
bread, at least 1000 acres wheat should
be sown.
Sufficient enrolment pledge cards
will be furnished these committee.
men at once, and the campaign should
be finished in early July. Most Of my
time will be given to this work from
now on, and l request your active CO.
operation.

NOxubee County Farm Notes
MelilOtus or Sweet Clover.

| MelilOtus or Sweet Clover.
This promises to be a good
year for melilotus seed. As
much seed as possible should be
saved and planted at home.
1t skaters easily and should
be cut with dew on or after
rains. 1t can be machine
threshed or failed out.
Winter and early spring seed
ing Should be inoculated into dirt
and glue.
There is a wide use for it in
Noxubee on all lime soils. 1t
will grow on rock outcrops. 1t
does we'll in Johnson grass
meadows. and will improve the
hay. and it is we'll enough if it
takes the meadow. Growing on
slopes and in bitches it will pre-
vent washes, 1t can be put in a
silo or cut for hay. 1t has equal
value to alfalfa as a feed, and
makes good forerunner to al
falfa, and will grow where al
falfa Will not grow. Melilotus is
equaled by no crop for producing
honey.
Following are a few instances
where crops were increased by
the use of sweet clover.

TEACH GOOD HEALTH
New Branch Of Work By The
U. Of |.

Boise, Idaho.-The university eX.
tension department Of the University
OF Idaho has taken up new branch
of work made almost necessity
through war conditions, that OF
teaching the rural women how TO
have good health.
The fact that 70 doctors have gone
from Idaho in response to the govern
ment's appeal and that fully that
many more are planning to go, makes
it imperative that citizens Of the
state try to keep as we'll as possible.
To aid in this the university exten.
sion is sending Mrs. e. r. Bennett, a
trained nurse. formerly n charge OF
large hespital, to as many rural dis
trlcts as possible to give "flrst aid"
talks.
Mrs. Bennett has just completed
tour OF Minidoka county and is now
working in Oneida county. That she
has been highly successful is evil
denced by the personal testimony of
her pupils. In every community
where she has been giving her course
Of lectures she will meet women who
will stop her and say:
THAT cure for cold is all right, /
tried it on my child last night and 1t
broke it up right away"
"Say, that hot water pack for head
ache did the business for me last
night. I never thought / could
stand hot water on the back of my
neck but did and it cured me-"
Not only does Mrs. Bennett teach
"tlrst aid" for Injuries, but she aims
to give simple rules which will keep
the families we'll and help them to
combat disease.

UNIVERSITY MONEY
Tied Up In Litigation In
State Treasury

Boise, Idaho. The state university
gets $50, 900 annually from the federal
government. AL must be spent or
accounted for each year. II the ac-
counting is not made the educational
institution cannot get additional
moneys from Washington. The ap-
portionments are made July ], each
year. Mr.. Eagleson received check
from the federal government 10
August last for the 1917 apportiun.-
lnent. He put IL in the general fund
pf the state treasury and 1t has since
remained there, says the Statesman.
The legislature in 1917 amended
certain laws when makiog the bien~
nial appropriations for the state
educational, penal aud charitable
institutions, and under the existing
statutes they must turn into the
state treasury all moneys received by
them from different sources, with the
understanding funds thus paid over
to he state will be accredited 10
them.
MIR. EaglesoD, believing, be says,
that the money given the university
10 the Morri fund should be placed
in the general fund deposited IL there
to the credit OF the educational
INSTITUTION.
The educational tnard and The
authorities the university have a
ditfereutiopinion OF the matter. They
insist that the law does not require
them TO give over to the state moneys
received from the Morrill, fund.
The state auditor continues TO
hold to the belief that the legislature
did expect To make the state treasurer
custodian for all funds given tie
university and he has refused 10 draw
a warrant by which AIR. Eagleson
could check the money out OF the
general fund, and without the
warrant the state treasurer Is helI-
less, he says. In the meantime the
university authorities have refused to
forward claims against the Morrill,
fund to the state board of examiners
here and until that body passes upon
the bills the state auditor will not
draw warrants on the fund.
An action started in the state
supreme court Is looked upon at the
capitol as test case between the
educational board and the state
officials. The educational depart
$ ment at the statehouse and The
authorities at the university insist
r that TIE state officials are without
2 authority to touch moneys given the
D educational institution by the sfeder i
o government and The state officials ai'
