4 BULLETS FOUND
 IN YOUNG FARMER
He Was Fired Upon, It Is AL legged, After Discovering
 Still While Hunting

Eufaula, January 2i.-(Special)-X-ra pictures made show four bullets in the body of Frank Perkins, young farmer, shot two weeks ago by Arthur William son, near LumplSin, Ga. One is in tile spine just below the neck; one in the right lung; the third in the bone of right arm below shoulders. and the fourth over the eye.
 Perkins is still at an infirmary here. where he was brought immediately after the shooting. He is able to sit up, but surgeons do 3hot deem it wise to remove the bullets at this time.
 The fact that Perkins had discovered moonshine still of Willamson's while hunting the day of the shooting, 1t is alleged, caused the shooting. William son was released from jail on bond a few days ago.

THE modes for fall and winter
have been launched and are sail
ing in definite directions-driven
by the winds of popular favor. Dis
cussion of them naturally begins with
the silhouette. which remains slender
and plainly reveals its descent from
classic Greek draperieS, or is even
more simple and straight Slender
ness continues to be a charm for which
every designer strives. excepting
when his attention is occupied with
evening gowns.
Nearly all afternoon gowns choose
the straight line silhouette, the low
waiStline and often an uneven hem
line. Sashes. panels and tunics vary
them but do not break their graceful
outlines. Supple materials must be
used for them and therefore charmeuse
and the several weaves in crepe are
in great demand. Duyetyn and broad
cloth are to be reckOned with and,
for the most pretentious among them.

SEALING OF SILO IMPORTANT
Satisfactory Plan Is to Husk Ears
From Last Few Loads, Tramp
and Moisten Well.

Proper sealing of the silo is essen
tiaI in reducing the amount of waste
silage. An easy and satisfactory meth
cd is TO husk the ears from the last
three or four loads of corn that are
to go into the silo, and run only the
stalks and leaves through the cutter
When these last loads are tramped
and soaked with 20 to 80 barrels of
water, the top will be well sealed and
there will be only a thin layer of
waste. Moreover, there will be no ear
corn in this waste. because it was
husked out and made available for
other purposes.

Both I'm spring and in fall the leaves
are injured by the least touch of frost,
and a heavy frost is always fatal. The
cOwpea withstands moderate shade
sufficiently well to be valuable in
orchards. In heavy shade the plants
are usually much attacked by mildew.
The cowpea succeeds on practically
all types of soil 1t does apparently
quite as we'll on sandy soils as on
heavy clays. but will do better than
clover or alfalfa on thin soils or soils
that are poor in lime. No other
Iegume can be grown so successfully
and on such a variety of soils under
adverse conditions as the cOwpea. A
very rich soil is not conducive to the
best results with this crop. On such
a soil an abundant vine growth is
produced, while the yield of grain is
small Poor soils will produce little
growth of vine, but will generally
yield a good proportion of seed. Clay
soils will not produce Il heavy yield
the first year. but the crop will sue
coed much better the second season.
1t may be said that the cOwpea will
do best on good corn land. but will
thrive on all types of soil that are

moderately rich.

LIME SPREADER is FAVORED
Machine Is More Efficacious in Secur-
ing Even Distribution of Mate
rial on Soil.

Lime should always be applied to
the surface of the soil and narrowed
in. This may be done in the fall. win
ter or spring, although many recon-
mend that it be applied in the fall.
When it is put on the land, however,
is not so important as how it is done.
1t should never be plowed under be-
cause it is carried downward in the
soil very rapidly, much of it is wasted
and it is. therefore, less effective in
neutraIizing the acidity. Even dis
tribution is, of course, desirable and
for this reason a lime spreader should
be used instead of attempting TO dis
tribute it by hand.

unusual amount of space around them.
Preference should be given the plants
that have produced most heavily in
competition with a full stand of
vigorous plants. A well-balanced stalk
bearing two good ears will usually

seed as any other stalk. Both ears
are equally valuable for seed, even
though one may be much smaller than

In the central and southern states,

easily blown down, and in general are
more productive than slender ones.
