SEES TURKISH RULE AMUSING
English Author Finds Funny Side to
Life In Jerusalem Under
the Crescent.

The tradition Of Turkish rule In
Palestine as one finds 1t in Jerusalem
Is simply a joke, declares g. K. Ches-
terton In his book, "The New Jeru-
salem." All the stories about 1t are
Jokes and often very good Jokes. My
own favorite incident Is that which
Is still commemorated in the English
cathedral by an enormous hole In the
floor.
The Turks dug up the pavement
looking for concealed British artillery,
because they had been told that the
bishop had given his blessing to two
cannons. The bishop had, indeed, re-
Gently appointed two canons to the
service Of the church, but he had not
secreted them under the floor OF the
chancel. There was another agree
able incident when the Turkish au-
thorities, by an impulsive movement
of religious liberation, sent for a
Greek priest to bury Greek soldiers,
and told him to take his choice IN q
heap Of corpses Of all creeds and
colOrs.
But at once the most curious and
the most common touch Of comedy
is the perpetual social introduction to
solid and smiling citizens who have
been nearly hanged by the Turks The
fortunate gentleman seems still to Dc
regarding his escape with broad
grin. If you were introduced to q
polite Frenchman who had come
straight from the guillohna, or to an
affable American who had only just
vacated the electrical chair, you would
feel q faint curiosity about the whole
story. II q friend introduced some
body saying. my friend Robinson
his sentence has just been commuted
to penal servitude," or my Uncle
William, just come from Dartmoor
prison." your mind and perhaps lips
would family form the syllables AWhat
forT But evidently. under Turkish
rule, being hanged was like being
knocked down by a cabi 1t might hap
pen to anybody.

Cover Crops Improve the Soil.

Planting cover or green manure crops
Is q matter which requires attention in
August or September In most parts OF
the United States, say experts Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Glover, vetcb, and other legumes serve
the triple purpose Of adding humus to
the soil, accommodating nitrogen, and pre-
venting soil erosion. With some tender
berry and fruit crops they also serve to
protect the roots from severe winter
weather. Outside of the nitrogen form
Ing plants, rye is largely used as cover
crop sown in the fall and plowed under
in the spring to add organic matter to
the soil. The cover-crop problem varies
largely with locality, but for over winter
purposes there Is one rule which 10 uni
versal, and that Is to get the crop in the
ground In time to secure good growth
before freezing weather.

PRACTICE OF LONG STANDING.
The use of clover or some other leg.

In the humid sections of the United
States. 1t antedates by three-fourths Of
century the monumental discovery that
legu mes store up nitrogen from the air.
| The belief that clover was q valuable i'm.
proven rested first on experience, and
later experience was substsntiated by
the discovery Of the relation between the
legumes and the nodule bacteria.
Other legumes, as the COW pea, the
Japan clover and bur clover In the south
and crimson clover on the Atlantic coast,
have come into use In the territory not

vetches are held in widespread favor,
different varieties being employed &C.
cording to climate and crop conditions.
The time OF planting and the best crop
to use 10 . matter which local conditions
must dictate. Along the north Atlantic
coast 1t is considered best to get these
crops in from the first to the middle OF
August, while In the extreme south the
planting may BE- deferred to early Octo.
Der. In the extreme north hairy vetch ID
favored as legume, cover, or green
manure crop, but rye is also largely
planted. From middle Pennsylvania to
the north Alabama line crimson clover
