HUBAM CLOVER
EIGHTH WONDER
Explained To LOwndes County
Farmers Last Friday BY
Professor Hughes.

a bout twenty-five Of Lowndes
county's most progressive farmers
met at the Chamber of Commerce
Friday afternoon at three o'clock
where they heard Prof. II. d. Hughes
chief Of farm crops, Iowa Aericultu-
raj Experiment Station, relate very
forcibly the great possibilities of HUI
BAN clover. Prof Hughes is now on
leave from the Iowa institution, but
is giving his time to the development
Of this wonderful clover.
Hubam clover was accidently dis
covered by the Iowa institution and
was afterwards discovered growing
wild in the state Of Alabama, where
it had probably been growing for for
ty years. This new clover belongs
to the sweet clover family, but is
more vigorous and rapid growing.
Where annual yellow clover grows
eighteen inches, and biennial clover
grows four and five feet, huban clover
will grow from eight to ten feet with
in one hundred days. This makes it
a very desirable leguminous crop for
the corn belt since it will furnish a
large quantity of green manure with
in a short period. The root growth
is also very deep and when the plant
is cut the roots Immediately decay,
which is of material benefit as it
makes the ground more porous. HUI
BAN is also great nitrogen gather
ing plant. Very little use has been
made of hubam for pasture crop on
account of the high price of seed, but
It is rated about like alfalfa as a pas
ture crop. It's quick growth makes it (
an extra good emergency hay crop
When grown for seed the crop is (
always planted in rows
about like cotton and is cultivated
about the same. However only from
)ne-third to one-half the expense is
incurred. The plant is harvested, (
and threshed in about the
same manner as small grain. After
he seed are thrcshed the stems make
excellent hay.
There are two types of hubam; the I
'arly and late maturing. BY plant
ny both types continuous bloom may
)e provided from June until frost,
.hus making hubam an excellent crop
or bees.
Hubam is adopted to most any
sind of soil, but gives best results on
ime soils. Where planted in the drill
hree pounds of seed are required to
he acre. The present price of seed
S two dollars per pound. The yield
Ter acre is from four to ten bushels,
which will bring on the present mar
,et from $3.50 to 81 200.

the widow seemed daily to be get
ting more anxious to meet her lover
and talk to him as lovers naturally
would, and make preparations for
the wedding Madame Rachel took
further steps to delude and quiet
her victim, for she had not yet man
agd to get hold Of all her fortune.
Lord Ranelagh had seen a house
In Grosvenor square he likes. and
has asked me to ask you to go over
it and see II you like It," she an
nounced one day.
Solemnly she took Mrs. Borradaile
over the empty house, discussed
with her what kind OF wall papers
and decorations she would like, and
what alterations she wanted to make
it comfortable for herself and her
prospective husband.
1t was then that the cunning
swindler overreached herself. Now
that she was getting to the end Of
her victims money she realized there
might be some unpleasantness. so
she induced her to sign a number Of
/. o. US, and one day. when the
widow was particularly pressing
about meeting her titled lover, Nine.
Rachel showed herself in her true
colors.
You owe me $3.50 for beauty
powders. and you must pay me-"
she said.
But you know have no money
left" faltered the ruined widow.
You know / promised to pay you
when married again"
You pay me now, or I'll have
you put in prison." cried Nine.
Rachel. "I have got your signature
here saying you owe me the money"
She hoped by her threat Of i'm
prisonment to frighten Mrs. Bor-
radaile to such an extent that she
would keep away from Bond Street
for good. That was exactly what
she wanted, for now she had COM
pletely stripped her wretched victim

OF any use to her. But the effect
OF her threats had an unexpected
result. The terrified widow went
and saw a lawyer and implored him
to keep her out Of prison.

they promptly communicated with
Lord Ranelagh to see how much

you to consent"
Now this is where the real cunning
of this infamous woman came In.
1t so happened that Lord Ranelagh
was an occasional visitor at the
Bond Street beauty store. and the
willy old beauty quack thought that
by little adroit scheming on her
part she would manage to get the
peer to play his part In her plot all
unsuspectingly.
SWINDLING A PEER.
One day when the duped widow
was sitting in the back parlor of the
beauty shop Nine. Rachel came in
hurriedly and whispered to her ex.
citedly.
Lord Ranelagh is here, my dear,
and I will introduce you. Say moth.
ing about his love for you, for others
will be present, and it may be un.
wise"
There and then Mrs. Borradaile
and Lord Rsnelagh were introduced.
The conversation was on trivial
topics, for the peer had no reason to
think Mrs. Borradai'e was anything
but an ordinary customer OF Nine.
Rachel and after a few minutes he
bowed and retired with no thought
In his mind of the unconscious part
he was going to play in the Fleeing
of the widow Of all her fortune. After
Lord Ranelagh had retired Nine.
Rachel had a long conversation with
her victim.

he will have TO be very discreet in
his wooing," she said for his fam

you to write to him, as he will write

, A short while after the infatuated
widow, who by now was as eager to
make herself beautiful as Madame
Rachel was to rob her Of her for.

from. as she supposed. her noble nd.
