BEST METHODS FOR
HANDLING CLOVER
WITH AN AVERAGE YIELD AND
PRESENT PRICES SHOULD BE
WORTH MUCH MONEY.
BY D. W. c. Smith.

There probably never has been as
much second crop clover in Maury
county as at the present time, and il
this crop can be properly handled and
saved, with average yield and present
prices 1t would bring thousands and
thousands OF dollars to the county
There are erroneous ideas as to the
manner of handling this crop; most
people think 1t should be cut and let
thoroughly rot before hulling; which
Is very much the wrong idea. The
best hullers will tell you that this crop
should be handled just as you would
the first crop for hay; cut, rake,
shock, and then put in waterproof
stacks or ricks, then cover with grass
or other material that will keep water
out. If the clover is rotten 1t will
break all to pieces and the whole mass
will 60 to the rasps or rubbers, there
fore you cannot give the seed pods a
fair rubbing to release the seeds SO
some Of the seeds go out with the
trash, and you are never able to make
a fair sample Of seed II you will care
for the seed crop as you do the hay
crop, 1t will be tough but the stem
just below the head will be brittle and
the head snaps off and goes to the
rubbers and Is given fair chance,
and insures a better yield and sam
pie, One other thing that holds down
the yield is that some cut their clover
too early, or green they argue that
they are afraid of crab grass. Now
II you will save your seed crop as in
dicated the grass will not be in the
way, in fact, ! heard huller say he
had rather have some grass in it as
It helped to feed the clover to the cyl
inders, and was less likely to break up
than the clover So do, not cut too
soon for fear Of grass, There is "a
good deal OF yellow vine (dodder)
this year. think the best way to han.
die this Is after cutting your clover
to take your wagon and team, go over
your field and with forks lift out these
spots Of vine and haul them to gull
ley or elsewhere. and thus get rid of
the seed, and Inconvenience Of hull
ing.
Is there any buckhorn in your clo-
yer. It will pay you to go over and
pull il out before pit gets ripe and
keep your seed as pure as possible.

PATRIOTIC PARROTS.
(By United Press.)

LONDON, (By MaiD The Ameri-
can accent has invaded even the par
rot house at the Geological Gardens
here.
A large consignment of birds has
arrived from America. Many have
names that suggest cocktails. Hither-
to scientists may have doubted the
ability of cockatoos to acquire a recog-
nizable accent, but two of these birds
fresh from the New York Zoo speak
unmistakable American.
They ask repeatedly for clam oys-
tiers on half-shell" and beg their
amused visitors for hominy or Cali
fornia peanuts. Sometimes in an out
burst of patriotism they repeat Gal

is the only word in their vocabulary.
And now very small green parrot in
the cage next door is trying to say

A disguised keeper stands outside
his cage saying London, London. Lon
don," but the small green parrot does
not seem to admire his accent so
much as that of his feathered transat-
Iantic friends.

HARD TIMES SEND JAP
GIRLS HUSBAND HUNTING
(By United Press.)

TOKYO (By Mail The hard times
which struck Japan with great sud
denness recently, have had many
strange effects, among them being
that OF sending many fair japanese
damsel out into he matrimonial mar
ket to look for a husband who can
support her, In Japan marriages are
contracted through professional match
makers to q far greater extent than
is the case in other countries, and
these are now profiting by the wind
which is blowing i'll for most of the
people in Japan
Never before have we had so many
women applicants said one of the
most prominent marriage agents. las
a rule, our customers are men looking
for wives, but lately the old order
has been reversed. There may be 9th
err reasons, but we who are in the bus
mess thing that the hard times are
causing women to seek safety by find
ing husbands to protect them. There
are a number of women of the better
classes among our clients"
The bureau of statistics tells SIM
liar tale. It's records show that tre-
mendous increase is taking place In
the number of marriages recorded
during the past two months. A rather
novel example of the steps taken by
young women to find helpmeets IS
found in the following advertisement
in which Japanese maiden seeks to
land a foreign husband. 1t reads i:
Japanese young lady, aged 20, of best
Samurai family, wishes to break with
old customs and to marry foreign
er. Willing to learn, English and to
wear Western clothes"
Another effect OF the times is the ex.
odus of farmers sons from the uni.
verisities and other institutions for
higher learning in Tokyo. These
young men are being called back to
the farms by their parents, who made
large sums of money during the boom,
and who thus felt able to give their
sons good educations. Now the hard
times has hit them badly, and the
young men must forego their careers

JAPANESE CRITICIZE
OWN SIBERIAN POLICY
REPORTED RED MAssAcREs, PA.
PERs SAY, WE'RE RESULT or
MlLlTARlST MISTAKES.
BY HENRY w. KINNEY.


Omitted Press staff Correspondent
TOKYO (By MALL The news
which has just been received in Tokyo
OF the alleged cold blooded murder by
the Bolsheviks Of practically the en-
tire Japanese poulation of Nikolaesk,
has stirred public sentiment more
strongly than has any other event in
Siberia heretofore.
Several months ago large number
of Russians, together with some Chi
nese and Koreans, attavked the small
japanese garrison, which had been
cut off from communication with the
main forces, by both land and sea, by
snow and ice. News reached Tokyo
that the soldiers had been wiped out
to the last man, and that, while many
of the civilian Japanese had been kill.
ed ALSO still $50 remained as prison
ers in the hands of the reds.
Relief expeditions were sent imme-
diately by land and sea TO Nikolaesk,
but owing to the ice, they did not
reach their objective until few days
ago: They found the town in ashes,
the reds having fired ii before they re-
treated into the hills on the approach
of the Japanese forces. 1t was also
found that the entire group of prison
ers, men, women and children, had
been butchered, with the exception Of
ten women who were married to Rus
ians. Evidence was not wanting to
show that the killing had been carried
out with considerable wantan cruelty.
1t also appeared that the massacre
took place on May 25, just as the Jap
anese were nearing the town. The
Japanese forces are now pursuing the
Bolsheviks, but there is little chance
of their being able to catch up with
them owing to the rigor of the climate
and the roughness of the country.
Another point about the affair which
may lead to considerable trouble Is
the report that a Chinese gunbOat,
which was anchored in the river by
the town, assisted the Reds by firing
on the Japanese with machine guns.
The foreign office states that it is hav-
ing a careful Investigation made into
this phase of the affair, which, will, Of
course, lead to diplomatic difficulties
with China fthe reports are sufficient.

PICK U. S. TEAM
FOR DAVIS CUP.
(By United Press.l

NEW YORK, July 31.-American
tennis circles are getting yells ready
to acclaim the victorious American
team when it returns from Australia
next winter with the Davis Cup.
The showing made by the American
team in disposing of France and Eng
land in the preliminaries not only in
spired this confidence here, but led
English experts to belive that the
Americans will be invincible If they
keep up the style and brand of tennis
that was shown during the prelimina
ry matches and the British champion
ships.
England rates William r. Tilden as
one of the most deserving players that
has ever held the worlds champion
ship title and he has just as many
friends in America who believe he has
hit his real stride and will continue
his sensational game on through the
finals for the Davis cup.
After William M. Johnston, the ma
tional champion, was eliminated by j.
c .Parke, in the Wimbledon matches,
some concern was felt in America lest
the little Pacific Coast star was off
his game. But in the matches be-
tween the British and American cup
teams he avenged himself for the de-
feat and came back into his own
bright game.
With Charles s. Garland and "Dick'
Williams, who were spared in the pre-
liminary matches, to fall back on, the
chances of the Yankee team in the
finals for the cup appear unusually
bright.
Patterson and Brookes will be the
same hard pair to beat, but most of
the experts believe it can be done.

TO GRAPPLE
With LIVING COSTS
(By United Press.)

Rio DE JANEIRO, (By MaiD).-
While press reports reaching Brazil in.
dictate that the price Of living has ris-
en- to its crest in most countries, in
Guiding the United States, Brazil still
has the problem to grapple with. And
in view OF the steadily, uninterrupted
rise in the prices of most staple arti-
cles,,. such as milk, meat, sugar and
wheat the time is apparently not far
off when the problem here will be
equally, if not fully, as acute, as in
countries which react more quickly
to the trend of the moment
Brazilians are only just beginning
to fully awaken to the situation.
Prices have been on-the rise here, as
they have all over the world, but Bra
iii has yet to feel the full force of
necessity.
Cariocas, the coloquial name for res
idents or Rio de Janeiro, talk the Ian
guage of II. C. L." as fiuently as do
the residents of Chicago, but, al
though they have felt the pinch to
some extent, they have never been
able to fully believe all the harrow
ing reports of food shortage.
But within the last few weeks, Car
iocas have begun to take the matter a
little bit more seriously, and during
the middle of June, it was announced
that the price of wheat would be
greater This announcement called
forth real blast of protest
Wheat, with which is made our
daily bread, is soon to be denied in
the homes of rich and poor alike, de-
spite the enormous stocks on hand"
said The "A Noite" Continuing, the
newspaper said:s
These increases are taking us to
heights unimaginable at present. AL
though our flour mills have capitals
up to $4,000, they are greedy for fur
Their gains and are increasing the cost
of their product, already fabulous"

TOURISTS RUSH TO
THE LAKE REGIONS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July Colour
list movement to the many lakes and
resorts in Wisconsin and upper Mich
igan ports this summer will be unus-
ually heavy, despite the increased
costs and the extremely cool weather
which has held the resort district in
its grip up to and including the fore
part of July. -=s..
Reports from Ashland, Wis, are to
the effect that there appears to be an
unprecedented rush of tourists and
fishermen to the lakes and summer
resorts of northern Wisconsin. The
resorts around Namakagon Lake are
fairly swamped, and Lake Owen, be-
tween Ashland and Hayward, near
Cable. is alive with boats of summer
visitors The lakes near Ironwood,
and in Villas and Oneida counties,
have many visitors. officials of the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad re-
port the tourist movement to the
northern part of the state extremely
heavy.
One thing that is worrying the cot
tagers and operators Of summer re-
sorts this year is the shortage of help.
A number of northern Wisconsin
school teachers have agreed to help
out.
