artillery fire control from the air and
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry were pracriced and de-

ROAD TO Be COMPLETED
Highway Work Down Mountain via IL
nary to Start Monday,

The county highway commissioners
have contracted with Jas. Smith to
complete the road down the mountain
via Linary. Mr.. Smith will commence
wor Monday.
About one mile remains to get down
the mountain with the road. CCLsid-
cradle dressing up work may be neces-
sary on tie work that was done last
year IN order to put the road in good
condition. After getting the road
completed down the mountain to con-
nection with the old road, the work
may be continued to the Bledsoe coun-
ty line. Just what will be done in that
way is as yet undetermined and Will
depend on conditions when the line is
connected up with the old read near
the loot of the mountain.
Mr.. Smith has had considerable eX-
perlence with road work in this sec
ton, he has several teams of his own
to put on the work, which will render
him largely independent Of other help
unless they choose to work at his price.
If it is necessary tor him to do all
the work with his own teams it will
take a little longer, but it will be
pushed to completion just the same.
The highway commission is intending
to do some work in the direction of
Peavine so soon as they can secure
suitable foremen and arrange ether
matters satisfactorily.

CRIMSON CLOvER'S WORTH
Some Comparisons With Different Kinds
of Commercial Fertilizers,

What is crimson clover actually
worth to the farmer on the basis of
commercial ferJilizers2 Let me an
swer that for you.
A good crop of crimson clover turned
under will store about IS pounds of
nitrogen per acre IN the soil. AT the
price paid for nitrate of soda last
spring that would be equal to 500
pounds of nitrate of soda or l 300
pounds of &c percent cotton seed meal.
That amount of nitrogen in a CONNER
cial fertilizer would cost from $25 to
$50, while that amount in nitrate Of
soda would cost 500. 80 and IN cotton
seed meal that much nitrogen would
cost about $45. There are some other
plant foods in cotton seed meal, but
the humus the crimson clover would
put into the soil would be worth more
than the other plant foods mentioned
in the cotton seed meal
Enough crimson clover seed can be
bought for So. 90 to sow an acre. 1t
will cost from so cents to $500 to pre-
pare an acre for crimson clover So,
it is clear that crimson clover gives
you three to six times as much for the
same money as when spent for COM
me, cialfertilizer, to say nothing of the
value of the humus the crimson clover
puts into the soil.
Our best agriculturists estimate that
more plant food is leached from the
land in the winter, where cover crop
is not used, than is taken from the
land in growing a crop in the summer.
Crimson cloveris one of the best winter
cover crops and for that reason it is
especially valuable. The early pasture
the crimson clover furnishes is usually
worth as much or more than the cost
of putting in the clover.
Crimson clover is the greatest WIN
ter crop any farmer can SOW in this
section and hope many of our farmers
will SOW it abundantly this fall.
Yours for more crimson clover.

that in the least. We pulled many
