Bank Of Mdri0nnd
 Tn Fine Condition

The Bank of Marianne, as f1t- ting climax to the successful years business just closed, gave a bonus ot one months salary to each of its employes as a Christmas and New Years present. Cashier Hugh Mix on stated yesterday that in spite of the fact the year 1920 was hard year in many respects the Bank of Marianna did good business. The annual meeting of the stockholders will be held on Tuesday of next week at which time the usual divi- dend will be declared. The officers and directors of the bank have plans drawn for extensive alterations on the interior of the building. The old vault will be torn out and a new vault will be constructed in the space now occupied by the di- rector's room. By this alteration additional room will be made for the office force. The cost of the improvements to be made will be about $5,000.
 Incidently it may not be amiss to call attention to the very excellent full page semi-editorial which ap- pears in this issue of the Courier- Index over the signature of the Bank of Marianna. Every citizen in Lee county should read this ar ticle. It deals with the vital prob lems now facing the people and proposes a remedy which all will at once recognize as the proper solu- tion for the troubles that occasional ly put this section in the dumps.
 The management of the bank has planned an intensive advertising campaign for the new year. An expert has been employed to de- sign the ads and prepare the copy. MT. Nixon said he would probably start his campaign within the next two weeks.

Muddie in Phillips
 OUer Treasurer

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-Governor Brough received information today that Al O. Harroway has refused to recognize the appointment of Joe Denison as treasurer of Phillips county. The former was appoint ed by Acting Governor McFerrin during the illness of the late treas urer, Amos harmon. Both Gov. Brough and the secretary of state contend that the appointment made by Mir. McFerrin while acting gov ernor was for the unexpired portion of Mir. lannon's first term, or ap- proximately 20 days. The governor stated that his attorneys had advis- ed him that the appointment of Har- roway could not in any way be con strued to include any portion of MT. lannon's new term, which he would have entered into January |.

No Get Rich Quick Scheme
for Improving Poor Land
Says Specialist

There is no "get rich quick" scheme
for improving poor land in large areas,
says j. &C. McAmis, specialist in ag
ronomy, Divisonof Extension, Univer-
sity of Tennessee.
Many Tennessee farmers write him
asking for information as to the quick
est method for improving poor land and
his first suggestion to them is: ''grow
clover" He, of course suggests
others, but this is the one method
that has given satisfaction to hundred
of Tennessee farmers who have tried it.
In preparing poor land for clover Mr..
McAmis recommends the use of two &c
three tons Of finely ground limestone,
or one ton of burned lime to the acre,
on soil that is well prepared in June OF
July and kept free from plant growth,
both crops and weeds until the first
good rain in August after which Red
Clover should be sown at the rate OF
ten pounds per acre. II the land is tc
be left seeded longer than two years,
grass should be sown with .the clover.
II the soil is too poor even with the
| lime and 200 to 800 POUNDS of acit
phosphate to grow Red clover salts
factory rye may be sown with the
clover to insure growing crop on the
land.
Another method is the use of the soy
beans and cowpeas. but these crops,
and to a certain extent the same Il
true of clover, must be turned under,
or fed and the manure returned to the
land. The turning under method il
quicker, but usually not as economical
as the feeding system. or course Il
one could have an unlimited supply Of
stable manure and then reinforce thi'
by using 200 to 800 pounds of acic
phosphate to the .acre. the land can bt
made to grow a good crop Immediately.
For potatoes however, the manure
8 iould be applied the fall before they
are planted. or better still to youpe
stand Of clover which is to be tnrnet
under before the potatoes are planted

A writer in a Memphis paper states
we need change of system in Fayette

Garden Notes

We are planting this week our second
planting Of Alaska peas, the fret plant
ing being ten inches high and growing
to the trellis nicely, Also planting
this week the first Of the wrinkled peas.
Any Of the wrinklsd varieties can now
be planted with safety. We use Gradus
and Horsford's Market Garden. The
latter is one of the most productive
varieties we ever saw. OF course the
Champion of England. Telephone, etc.
are standard and everybody knows they
are good tsll growing varieties.
Several gardeners are asking about
tomato plants. Ours are almost ready
for the open ground, can be set out by
the first of the coming week. We
shall not try them that early, but the
plants are ready. Hardly safe to trans
plant them yet.
Buyers OF sweet potatoes for bedding
should be careful to get seed clear Of
black rot. Infected potatoes show
black spots over the surface and busi-
ness men ordering seed for sale would
do well to refuse to accept shipments
showing this black surface, The d.
'sease infscts ones soil and the Infection
lives there for years to infect future
crops. You can not afford to buy In
fected seed potatoes at any price. g
the plants grown from that kind :
seed,
And still people ask us how to get les.
tuce to head. We have told often.
First get heading variety. Then
transplant the little plants when three
inches high into the richest soil possi-
BILE in rows anv convenient distance
apart and plant 8 inches apart In the
rows. Keep them worked as any
other vegetable and they will surely
form heads. That lie the only trick
about t.
If peaches and apples free of worms
are wanted the coming summer better
spray the trees as the shuck drops from
the tiny fruit. The fruit In this Sec
tion last year was almost worth.
lessbecause of the curculio (worms)
and the brown rot which attacked
the peach as il begin to ripep.
Both can be prevented by spraying
and in no other way.
Early surprise corn planted now on
good land will be in roasting ear June
rs with ears ten inches long and one
to two to each stalk. An acre PLAN
ed for each mule worked will helm
solve the expensive feed problem.

We hope the town officials will make

the town In a sanitary condition. There
are some fearful places at present

should cause much apprehension among
locsl folks.
That writer in the Commercial APP
peal who stated that we were an iso-

If another district has more pro-
gressive set of citizens than No. IL we
would like to have them trotted out

among local folks is to the stick-to-
gether quality which we admit they
have always lacked, However even
under this handicap we claim to be
second to none In any progressive or en-.
lightend way.
