SEASON BEST IN
YEARS TO PLANT
CRIMSON CLOVER
PROF. E. A. M'LEAN, COUNTY
AGENT, SUGGESTS PURCHASE
OF SEED AT ONCE.
HOW TO PREPARE THE LAND
Not Advisable to sow In Corn Crop
Until After Corn Is Made But Other
wise Sowing Should Be Done Be-
fore First of Month

(By e. A. Mclean, County AgentD
The present season in the ground
is the best that we have had in sever
al years for the sowing of crimson
clover The price of the seed in this
county at most of the dealers is only
$3.50 a bushel, while most of the ad
joining counties are having to pay IS
per bushel. The supply of seed here
has termination of $3.50, and some
fields that were sown over two weeks
ago have thick stand over the en-
tire field Several orders for crimson
clover seed have been received from
adjoining counties, and the farmers
Of this county who have not purchas-
ed their seed should do 50 at once in
order that we can find out exactly
how much seed is needed, and the
dealers will purchase additional seed
The time to SOW crimson clover to
he used for early fall pastnange
SHOULD be between now and Septem
Ter 1st that is, where the ground is
already prepared. If the ground is not
turned it should be as soon as posi-
BILE, and gotten ready by the first
week in September, This latter seed
ing will afford good early spring pas,
turage and can be turned under for
the summer crop. After the ground
is turned it should be disced, smooth
ed, narrowed and rolled, or culti-pack-
ed before sowing. Where it is plan
ned to SOW crimson clover in the corn
we should wait until the corn is made,
because if the seed are sown in the
middles while the corn is still draw
ing moisture the crimson clover win
terminate, and if no rain falls within
week the plants will die.
Every man who plans sowing Grim,
son clover in his ground should ex-
pect only pasturage in the spring, and
good tonnage to turn under for the
succeeding crops, Every acre of Grim
son clover that Isl turned under while
in full bloom will put over so pounds
of nitrogen into the land on eachlacre.
This nitrogen shows its results on
the succeeding crop. 4" Il
differences Off opin;ou are
found over the county as t0tthe rate
{. sowing crimson clover, but dthe best
insults have been obtained where
crimson clover is sown alone at the
rate of II tO4l5 pounds of seed to the
acre. Where rye is used with Grim
son clover we should SOW 10 pounds
CT crimson clover and one bushel of
rye to the acre.
On account of the increased dairy
interest in Maury county many farm
ers who are milking few cows will
find crimson clover to be lone of the
best grazing crops for early fall and
winter, and is the best supplement to
be used with silage, oats and corn and
commercial feeds.

. One of the greatest surprises of the
recent elections was the overwhelm
ing victory of ALI Taylor in the re
publican primary, From incomplete
returns it appears that he defeated
brother of Bob Taylor.
Ar Taylor is seventy.three years CT
age and has been prominent in the
politics of the state for nearly forty
years. He is said to be vigorous
and forceful campaigner despite his
years and public service. Unquestion-
ably his nomination is the strongest
one the party could have made.
Thirty-four years ago he made the
famous race against his brother for
governor. Two years later he was
elected to congress from the first dis
trict and served three terms. In 1910
lie was a candidate for the nomina-
ton for governor; but was defeated
by Ben Hooper. TIE latter's terrific
attack on Littleton in the recent cam.

He believes in individual enterprise,
In initiative, for without these quail

PROSECUTOR ASSESSED
WITH COSTS IN CASE
T. o.. BUcKNER ARRESTED ON A
CHARGE OF VAeRANcY SWORN
OUT BY T. J. MKEE.

A case that attracted a great deal
of attention was that of +. j. Mckee
against T. =. Buckner, on a charge of
vagrancy, before Squire Jones and
Squire Guest this morning 1t seems
that Buckner was indebted to Mckee
for grocery bill. and the efforts of
Mckee to collect same had been
Ruthless, so a warrant was sworn out
by Mckee against Buckner charging
him with vagrancy. Mckee acted as
his own attorney in the prosecution,
but as the decision of the court was
that the prosecution had to pay the
costs in the case, and the case dis
missed, 1t would seem that his role
as attorney were not crowned with
much success.
