not hard on the soil, as is millet.
Many farmers in Morgan county are
familiar with millet. 1t is hard on
land and its use can only be advocated
when, as in the present emergency,
the regular hay crop has failed and
some catch crop must be resOrted to.
1t should be seeded at the rate of two
or three pecks per acre, and on the aver
age Morgan county soil should be ferti-
lzed in the same manner as suggested
for cowpeas. In GO to Is days after
seeding millet is ready to cut for hay
and should be cut before more than
half the heads have come out of the
boots" If left standing longer, the
hay will be tough and woody, and
stock will not eat it well. Millet is
easily cured, but its quality is only
fair.
Sudan grass is some what akin to
millet, but makes greater yields per
acre and gives hay which is of much
better quality than millet. 1t is sOwn
broadcast, and requires 20 to30 pound,
of seed to the acre. Within abou
three months after seeding it /!
ready for cutting, and should be cut a
soon as it blooms. 1t is cured ant
handled in the same way as mile
and makes hay well liked by stock
Like millet, however, it is hard on tn,
land, and should only be used as {
catch crop.
All catch crops should be seeded OF
soil which has been well prepared by
turning, disking and dragging or roll
ing to thoroughly pulverize all clod,s

July Potatoes.

The long drouth during May and

potato crop in Morgan county, and
many families are actually faced with
ortage of potatoes during the COM
ing winter. There is still time, how
ever, to secure seed of some varirt of
July potatoes, and they may be pEa uted
us late as the middle of July.
The ground in which the pors toes
are to be planted should be plowe d as
soon as possible and worked down into
Il well-pulverized seed bed. w here
Spring potatoes are very early they
may be dug in time to work over the
ground and plant late potatoes W here
they have stood. When arly
potatoes are dug so soon after MAJ tur-
ty they should be stored in cool
cellar, else they are not likely to keep
well. At planting time tie late pota-
toes should be fertilized in the row
with acid phosphate fertilizer The
cultivation necessary is he same same
as for early varieties
July potatoes are allowed to remain
in the ground until the frost has KILLED
the vines, because as cong as the vines
are green, the potat Oes are growing

Your letter to me in the Courier

why you did not mail the letter to me

In taking my pen in hand to reply
to your tender epistle l am at a loss

letter is sweet and affectiOnate it con-
tains little that merits reply. Still
having written me this letter | sup.
pose that you expect reply, and |
will try to crafty you. But your
superiority makes me rather timid in
the matter and l know that / am nc
match for you in contest of letter
writing. Knowing as / do, especially
from your own admissions, that you
can do any thing just little better
than any one else, | can only be foil
to enable you to show what a brilliant
fellow you are. However, if you still
