had last year sold at $50. sG5 and $40
were this year costing him that much.

FARM BUREAU NEWS
PROTECT FARM LANDS
FROM WINTER RAIN
E. %. McMahan, County Agent

Most of the farm land Of this sec
ton of the state have clean cultiva-
ted crops grown on them in the sum-
mer and are allowed to stand idle
during the winter months. The soil
not only washes away during the
heavy winter rains, but much of the
most valuable plant foods are taken
out of the soil by teaching.
This washing and teaching can be
stopped by growing some crop on the
land during the winter. These win
ter cover crops will not only stop
the washing and teaching, but will
add humus to the soil and greatly
improve the mechanical condition
when turned under in the spring.
If legumes are used for these winter
cover crops they will add nitrogen,
which is so badly needed by our
southern soils, and which forms one
of the most expensive elements Of
the fertilizer that we buy every
spring.
The proper time to sow winter COW
err crops on cotton and corn land is
at the last cultivation of the crop.
Bur clover and crimson clover are
both excellent soil builders and make
good winter cover crops. Bur clo-
yer can be sown any time after the
first of July, but crimson clover
should not be sown before the first
of August. Since the cotton crop is
late this year either of these crops
can be sown at the last cultivation.
But with corn it will hardly be pos
sible to SOW crimson clover except on
few late patches. Bur clover
should be sown at the rate of so
pounds, or bushels, per acre, and
crimson clover at the rate of 20
pounds per acre.
Of non-legumes to plant at the
last cultivation of cotton, rye and
oats are the best. They can also be
planted in corn where it is laid by in
August.
If any information is desired re-
garding the seeding of clover consult
your county agent.

METHODIST ITEMS

The report of the Juniors given by
Sara Lee Potts showed the remarka-
BILE progress that has been made and
was the occasion of much rejoicing.
Mrs. Tom Handy read the report
of the Woman's Missionary Society
to the large congregation assembled
at II a. m. Sunday. The report
spoke well of the splendid and sue
.cessful work our women are doing.
]. Paxton Erwin gave a fine report
to the Epworth League Sunday even
ing of the work of the Epworth
League Conference at Augusta. Our
Epworth League is in the front
rank.
Next Sunday just before the pas
tors sermon Miss Myrtle Dodds will
submit to the congregation the re-
port of our Young Peoples Mission
airy Society.
To date the response on Centenary
subscriptions is just fine. Let the
good work proceed. Mr.. DeLeon
Little at First National Bank will
give you a receipt.
Mr.. ]. ]. Daniel has been elected
secretary-treasurer of the Board Of
Trustees. This means the work will
be efficiently done.
The mid-week service increases IN
attendance and interest week after
week. This is especially encouraging
for these days are long and hot and
the nights hot and short.
Hear the music, take part in the
singing of familiar hymns and hear
the pastors sermon Sunday morn
ing at II a. m. and 8 p. m. You will
inspire others by your presence and
should be personally benefited.

LIGHTNING ARRESTER BEING
MANUFACTURED IN MARIETTA

We quote below from the Ga. Ry.
and Power Co. bulletin "Here We
Are" AS this work is going on in
Marietta is will be of especial inter-
est here.
C. E. Bennett, special engineer of
the power company, has invented and
placed on the market a new type of
lightning arrester of the liquid cur
rent interrupter type for the pro-
lection of transmission systems from
6OO-V to 44,00O-V. It's functioning
is based on a new principle which
makes it possible to use water as
the medium which absorbs and dis
sipates the energy of the discharge.
For the manufacture and distri-
button of his arrester, Mr.. Bennett
has organized the Bennett Arrester
Company, of which he is president,
and which has its factory at Mariet-
ia, Ca, and New York Office at 81
Broadway.
G. N. Lennon, formerly consult
ing engineer of the Railway and In
dustrial Engineering Company of
Pittsburg, has taken active charge of
the entire development.
Three of these arresters are al
ready in service on the lines of the
power company. One is at Burton,
and another at Tallulah, both of
these being operated at 26,000-V.
The third is at East Point, operating
at 11,0OO-V. In addition to these,
the power company has ordered 25
others, to operate at 19,O00-V, for
4 service at various points on the dis
tributing system; and two others of
38,000-V, for Lindale and Newman.
