Gainesville, sad: No matter how
near maturity the corn grains are
before the fodder is pulled, whenever
the pulling takes place the work OF
the leaves is instantly arrested and
natures finishing touches are not
gwen to the grains. This is because
the lungs OF the plant have been tax
en- away and the job caannot be COM
pleted."
Removing the corn leaves reduces
the feeding value of the grain by 10
to Is per cent, according to Professor
McQuarrie. Instead of giving an
animal IL ears at one feeding, Is ears
will be necessary, if the fodder were
pulled. For the reason that few per-
sons make this allowance, many farm
am mails show unthriftiness when
! their owners believe the feed is am
ply large.
Probably the best way to harvest
corn is to cut the whole stalks down
when the ears are matured and near
ly dry, and ishock together. If the
shock is properly made, tied tight
near the top, it will shed water, and
/ the grain cured inside will be OF far
more value than if cured in the field.
Plant CoWpeas in July for Hay
There is no better hay than good
cowpea hay. We hear much about
alfalfa, but if cowpeas are cut at the
right stage and properly handled, they
make just as good hay as alfalfa.
The greatest trouble with cowpea
| hay is cuing. This is especially
true n Florida during the rainy season
son, and it is during the rainy season
that the Florida farmer usually wants
to raise cowpeas. But, if they are
sown during July, they will mature
in the fan when there is not so much
danger Of rain, because the rainy sea-
son viii have passed.
Professor J. M. Scott of the Flor
ida Experiment Station recommends
Brabham and Iron as among the best
varieties.
The peas viii not only furnish hay,
but they will protect and enrich the
land during summer.
The Wonderful Velvet Bean
The census of 1909 showed only
1858 acres velvet beans in Florida.
This crop produced 114,404 bushels of
beans, which was valued at S152,497.
The final figures of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, according to Sam t.
Fleming, agricultural statistican,
show tina Florida grew 100000 acres
of velvet beans in 1920. Of this crop
approximately 100000 acres were
harvested for grain, producing 1900
600 bushels with value of over S2..
100000.
The remaining 246,000 acres of the
1920 crop either furnished grazing aor

BEREA FAIR OPENS

The Fair opened this morning,
Wednesday, August 3, with a rather
small crowd to begin with, but not
discouraging, as this was due to the
heavy rains early in the morning.
The only people who were really on
time were the politicians. Some of
them were foot sore and covered with
mud but wore smiling faces and met
you with a confident handshake.
The fair at Berea promises to be
one of the best ever held upon this
ground. Mr.. johnson, President Of
the Fair Association, and Mr.. Fish,
Secretary, together with other men,
have left no stone unturned for max
ing this enterprise a success. One Of
the important features Of the first
day was the Better Baby Contest.
This was an unusual diversion from
the old idea of baby contest. The
prizes are to be given to the healthi-
est babies instead of to those, who,
in the opinion of the judges, have the
prettiest faces. The Woman's Club
deserves "a great deal Of credit for
putting on this feature.
There We're twenty babies entered
in the contest, all under two years
old. The judges felt that every baby
deserved a prize, but as there were
only two prizes, eighteen fine babies
had to do without. After an inter-
esting and careful examination a
prize of one dozen photographs was
awarded to Alma Cochran, ten
months old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Cochran. A prize of $500
was given to Harry Lee, twelve
months old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis of Paint Lick, for being the
most sensibly dressed for summer
weather.
Other features of the Fair of in
terest TO everybody are the airplane
flights and racing.

SPECIAL SERVICES CLOSE

The win.one. week, as part of the
evangelistic campaign which is being
carried on thruout Kentucky, was
begun in Berea Baptist church two
weeks ago. The plan Of the meet
ing was to have each member of the
church win one unsaved person to
Christ during the week. Services
were held every right with increasing
interest at each service. Evangelist
J. w. Beagle, of the Baptist State
Board. assisted the pastor and
preached at each service. Several
all-day meetings were also held.
Because of the growing interest
the services were continued for two
weeks, and closed last Sunday night,
with baptismal service. when
twenty new converts confessed their
Lord in baptism. Several others
came into church fellowship by let
ter. The services thruout were char
acterized by deep spiritual interest.
as the evangelist faithfully preached
the gospel from night to night.

MOTORISTS, SAVE YOUR TIRES

Two of the chief causes Of tire
trouble are overlooking and under
imitation. All tires have a load limit.
Constant slight or occasional heavy
overloads shorten tire life, say the
manufacturers Of Revere tires.
Proper initiation is as important as
proper loads. Tires are built to
take the place Of steel springs or Of
shock absorbers. Under.inhation re.
suits in an unnatural flexing of the
layers Of fabric, and this causes sep
aration of the plies and early de.
struction Of the tire carcass. II
easier riding is desired oversize tires
may b. used and such tires in ad-
dition 10 furnishing extra resiliency,
give more traction on rear wheels
and supply greater mileage. How
ever, OVERSEEING tires requires a re-
adjustment of the speedometer,
otherwise the recorded distance will
be less than that actually Travelled.

VALIDITY OF 18TH
Ex-Senator J. Hamilton Lewis Has
 New Angle from Which He Brings Lawsuit.

Chicago. June 25.-A suit to test provisions of the 18th amendment and the Volstead law was filed in U. S. District Court today by former Sena- tor J. Hamilton Lewis in an attempt to recover whiskey. valued at $50O,00O stored in Chicago warehouses.
 The plaintiffs are distillers and one hundred owners of bonded whiskey. The bill does not attack the validity of the prohibition amendment or of the Volstead law but asserts that no provision of either measure can ap- ply to whiskey deposited in govern ment warehouses by the direction of the government before either measure was passed, where the goods are now owned by the same owners who de- posted the liquors on a contract to have it returned when the tax was paid.
 The principal new point of the com plainants is that the provisions of the constitution against manufacture of liquor referred to manufacture after, and not before, passage of the amend ment
 The n1plainants, who state they do not desire to the liquor for beverage purposes, ask for a manda- tory injunction compelling the collec- tor of internal revenue to order gov ernment warehouses to deliver the property to the holders of the oertifi- cates, and enjoining national and state officers from interference after the owners have taken possession. The plaintiffs claim they have right, un- der the law, to sell the whiskey for medicinal or mechanical purposes.
