Smotfering Out Coco or Nut
Grass

w. r. r., Savannah, Ga,
writes: I am contemplating pur-
chasing a farm with coco lt.ass,
commonly known as nut grass
on it, but before completing the
deal, I wish to know if there
is any way of killing this grass.
will appreciate all the advice
You can give me on this subject.
Coco grass or nut grass is one of
the most difficult and persistent Of
all pests to eradicate. This is due
to the nature and character of its
. growth and the fact that the nuts
themselves are so resistant to injury
and are further 50 well protected
by the death of which they are nat
urally buried in the soil.
We have tried a great many ways
Of fighting this grass. but none of
them has proved anything like as
continuous shading with smother
crops. In your locality you can grow
number Of shade. crops to advan-
tage. They will not only improve
your land, but furnish a large
amount of desirable pasture or make
q very satisfactory hay if you wish
to cut and preserve them for that
purpose.
do not believe there is any crop
which can grow to better advan-
tage in your section than velvet
beans. This is a rapid-growing crop,
spreads over the soil quickly, and
produces a very heavy and dense
shade and a large amount Of cover.
The beans will mature in your sec
ton, and you can Craze them down
with cattle in the fall and winter,
or with hogs. The beans are so
hard that they do not rot readily in
the soil, hence they are available
for grazing during the winter season.
Another pain would be to plant
cowpeas in the spring. 1 would
choose a variety which vines freely,
such as the Clay or the Wonderful.
You cannot induce the development
of too much cover to aid in the sue
cessful smothering out of nut grass.
Cowpeas may be seeded alone and
then followed in the fall by crop
of oats and vetch. This makes a
very good cover crop as well, and
you secure q very fine and valuable
hay from this combination which
comes off the land relatively early
in the spring. You can then plant
the land again to velvet beans or
back to coWpeas or soy beans or
some other dense growing legun1i-
nous crop to be cut and cured as
hay or turned under for soil i'm
provement or grazed down. Our eX-
perience indicates that in a climate

Mutual Welfare League
Reformatory Organization

Frankfort, Feb. 11.-Sol Flem, ,ng,
who is serving his second life sentence
for murder, has retired from the
presidency of the Mutual Welfare
League, an organization of prisoners
in the State Reformatory here.
The league, while conceived by the
superintendent, largely is the creature
of Fleming's constructive efforts. The
league is charged with providing rec
reation for the inmates of the prison.
looks after the amusements and es-
Cablishes standard of conduct for
its members, demanding that they
maintain the standard if they enjoy
its benefits.
Fleming, the former president, and
who still devotes much time and study
to the league, has the unusual record
Of now serving his second life SEN
tence for murder. He was pardoned
while serving his first sentence. In
1915 he again killed man and again
received n life sentence.
The welfare feature Of the league
has Fleming's chief interest. 1t looks
sfter the dependents Of its members,
cares for its members when they are
sick, by providing delicacies and pays
funeral expenses if they or any Of
their dependents die.
1T helps the men to know that their
families are being cared for" Fleming
says, land will keep many a wife
faithful until her husband gets out, in
my opinion. A woman with dependent
children and her husband in here has
hard outlook"
Tangible achievements in the year
of the leagues existence are consid-
cred remarkable by the superintend-
ent. Notwithstanding the fact that a
large majority of the prisoners practi-
cally are destitute, their league has
spent in cash $4,000 improving the
baseball diamond, $3.50 for band uni
forms and instruments, 81 500 on it's
commissary and Office fixtures, and
has accumulated about $500 worth OF
stage properties. These purchases
were made possible by the operation
of a store by the prisoners

National Chairman
Returns to Pekin

Peking, Feb. 1O.-When General
Chang Tso-lin, the military governor
of the Three Eastern Provinces and
the most powerful tuchun in China,
recently came to Peking he brought
under his protection the notorious
Chang Ching g-yao, who had in 1920
been virtually outlawed by Chinese
government upon the insistencc of the
America legation. 1t was through
his negligence that a missary in Yo-
chow, Of the province of unan OF
which Chang Ching-yao was then gov
ernor, was killed by looting soldiers.
The death Of the missionary, the Rev.
w. Reimert, occurred at the hands Of
troops of the Seventh Division, COM
manded by Chang, while the protcc-
ton promised by the governor to the
missionaries never made it's appear
ance and left them altogether at the
mercy of the disorderly brigands who
were enrolled in his forces.
For many months the death of the
missionary was the subject of nego-
tiations between the American and
Chinese governments, the former de-
handing that Chang Ching yao be re-
moved from his command and be held
responsible for the murder. The Chi
ncse government finally complied with
the American demands but the trial
never took place for Chang fled to ia
pan to avoid further difficulties and
had not reappeared until his advent
in Peking few days ago in the train

"Made In Germany"
May Be Used Again

Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE trademark
"Made in Germany" soon may be
stamped again on German export
wares, for the agitation to revive this
trademark, which was known in three
fourths of the market cities of the
world before the war, has been in
creasing in industrial and CONNER
cial circles.
Arguments that the anti-German
sentiment which resulted in wide
spread boycotts following the war is
subsiding and that many merchants
would welcome the trademark have
had noticeable influence with manu-
facturers, who are now investigating
the probable result of it's renewed
use.
1t is almost certain the words will
shortly be used for articles which
cannot be initiated or for which there
are no substitutes in other countries.
Some of the reports. said to have
been received from foreign mer-
chants say many would welcome the
sign again if only to prevent trades
men from selling German goods at
higher prices than necessary, under
the representation that they were
made in Switzerland, America, Eng,
land or elsewhere.
1t is known that Immediately after
the war the German merchants anC
manufacturers made use of the Swiss
to market German made wares which
were boycotted.
Advocates of the "Made in Ger.
many" trademark also insist it's use
would protect German merchants
themselves, for they hope to "revive
the respect for this mark until in nc
market of the world will the quality
of the goods bearing it be question

Want u. S. Shipping
Board Lines Included

Budapest, Feb. 11.-U. Grant Smith,
the United States charge d'affaires in
Hungary, is making representations to
the Hungarian government that the
United States Shipping Boards lines
should be included among the licensed
shipping companies.
Before the war, Hungary exercised
preferential treatment by which al
most all emigration traffic was in the
fands of the Cunard line and attempts
to restore this policy have been made
since the war.
Frank E. Ferris, of the United
States Shipping Board, who was here
some days ago, had long discussion
on the subject with members of the
government, and it is expected that
equal treatment will be secured for
the United States lines in the near
future. .-,.--...

Show, held in New York from Jan.
uary % to 80, where Is Of the bird,
we're shown in the open classes. In
addition to the Lamonas, and other
govcrnmcnt-bred fowls Of standard
breeds, the department put on an ex-
tensive exhibit consisting of models
of poultry houses, a display Of feath-
crs of the standard breeds, appliances
such as feed hoppcrs, brood coops, and
fattening battery. A series of pan-
els, made up of photographs, charts,
and placards, showed the more I'M
portant standard breeds, the feeding
OF hens for egg production, the prep
aration of birds for exhibition, the ad-
rantages of early Matching, the i'm
provement resulting from the use Of
a high quality sire, capons and capon-
izing, culling the farm flock, and the
pedigree breeding of poultry.
A number of department. represen-
tatives took part in the program of
the show and gave information to the
visitors concerning the educational ex-
hibit. They reported an extraordinary
interest on the part of the public and
various poultry breeders in the La
mona breed, many persons desiring to
obtain breeding birds. The depart
pient believes it necessary to perfect
them still more as regards certain
characteristics, and it is not likely
that any will be for sale during the

Political Illiteracy
Worse Than Bigamy

Moscow, Feb. 1O.-Political litter
acy is worse crime than bigamy in
Soviet Russia. Cupid's errors are
painlessly, instantaneously and mex
pensively cured by Bolshevist courts;
but ignorance of Bolshevist laws is
punished by sentence to courses in
Communist schools organized to en-
tighten those untaught in the ways of
the Soviet republic.
Ivan Ivanovich Linsky was recent
ly faced in Moscow court by two
wives and five children.
81 didn't know that it was neces-
sary to get a divorce and thought my
living apart from my wife whom l
didn't love longer was proof that l
didn't want her." was Linsky's de-
fense.
One woman was granted divorce,
and Linsky was instructed to enter
the school for the liquidation of polit-
ical illiteracy at the government
printing office, where he will be
taught that wives may be disposed of
only by making declaration before
a Soviet court that one does not want
them and paying a fee of 10000 ru-
bles.
It's much easier than the Reno
treatment and Moscow should be-
come a popular resort for mismated
foreigners after Soviet Russia gets
the recognition necessary to make
Russian divorces waterproof abroad.
There are no residence requirements
and difference of political views" is
the ground on which many divorces
are granted.
Alimony has not yet come into
fashion in Russia. Under the old
Communist ideal nobody had any
thing, theoretically, and everybody
worked and was supported by the
state. With the reversion to capital
istic ways and the recognition of the
rights of persnal property, divorce
proceedings may soon be tinged by
Mammon.

Parisians Won Money
On Recent Prize Fight

Paris, Feb. Alive hundred Pa

have returned to Paris with many
English pounds sterling after all ex-
penses had been paid. They found
it difficult to place money before the
fight, followers Of Cook asking odds

ment of one of the French party. Most
of the money was wagered between
the second and the third round Car
pentier had been consistently giving
ground during the first two rounds,
Cook many times having the French
man against the ropes giving the i'm
preston Of greater strength.
After the bell sounded at the finish
Of the second round, prominent
"boulevardier"-a close friend of

arena at once there was an exchange
of accepting mods ranging from 100 to

The rest is pugilistic history. The
fight seemed to begin at the tap of
