Are you planning to put hogs on
the market next November and De-
cember. II you are take a lesson
from the past. September is a bet
ter month and when we say this we
remember the heavy brea klast Sep
TENDER very distinctly. If you carry
hogs through the summer on pasture
and some corn and tankage and then
finish them on a field of corn and soy
beans with plenty of good water,
there is no reason why you should not
make it pay you Notice that We sug-
gest that you buy only one kind Of
feed and that is tankage.

Can you afford to sow red clover
at the present price Of seed? You GER
tainly cannot get a crop that will
pay you better-and we know that
cotton is extremely high The yield
of fine hay which it produces and the
wonderful amount of fertility it puts
into the soil makes it an investment
that compares favorably to some of
the stocks and bonds which are so
much desired by investors.
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1920-02-20

Are you planning to sow red clo-
yer? Remember these points: a firm
seed bed is very desirable; plenty Of
seed; all of the manure that you can
spare; lime will pay; acid phosphate
is the only fertilizer that you need.
These points in growing clover are
not theories of our own but they rep
resent the experiences Of the best red
clover growers in the county and ex-
pertinent station results-hence we
feel that no one can fail to use them
to advantage.

The soy bean seed situation is not
so good as we thought. We made sew
eral inquiries to men who were adj
vertising seed for sale. We received
two replies informing us that they
had sold out. We are still endeavor-
ing to locate seed and will notify
those who have asked about them as
soon as we can get some definite in
formation.

their roots gouged and torn by a
pillow. Some light cultivation to keep
down the weeds might pay. However
it 81 not necessary to get a swingle-

Study nature. Consider the wonderful
oaks that grew without even so much
as white man seeing them.

Look over your trees and see if you
have any scale on them. In case you
do get busy at once and see that
they are sprayed. The present price

1t is surprising to visit the schools
and inquire how many of the chill
dren have grape vines at home. The
number who have few vines at
home is very small. This fruit is al
most certain, easily produced and the
vines produce heavy crop soon.

Continued from Flrsf pare

the American Legion, who has been
designated by the national commander,
Franklin D'Olier, as chairman OF a
special committee on military policy
provided for at the conference IN IN
indianapolis on February Q OF all de-
partment representatives OF the legion.
This conference reiterated the endorse
ment Of the principal OF universal mill
tary training laid down In the resolu-
tlons OF the national convention held at
Minneapolis. which favored universal
military training and further adopted
as a condition precedent thereto and
as an essential safeguard thereof. for
civilian control; a thorough house
cleaning and elimination OF inefficient
officers and methods OF our entire mill
tary establishment; equality OF obliga-
ton and opportunity for all American
citizens in such training.
Mr.. Miller further called attention to
the fact that the action Of the House
leaders. in postponing action at this
session Of Congress, would not affect
the status OF this legislation before the
present Congress. because the life Of
the Congress. as well as the legislation
before IT, does not expire until March
4, 1921.
As chairman OF the legislative COM
mittee, Mr--Ailler also announced that
the Legion would press action before
Congress. for further legislation 10 take

ton thereto. this committee will exert

This program includes the following

sation or extra pay for services based
