y, Can | sow just ordinary wheat
for chickens, and is 1t not just as
good as any other grain? Mrs. L.,
R. f. D. 8.
A. Wheat is often used for this
purpose, and IL you have the wheat
[ would use 1t. Either oats or bar
ley Is quicker to produce and con-
sidered better.
Q. want to sow turnips for green's
only Which makes the quickest?
b. W.. Ashland.
A. There Is little difference out
side of 7 top, which is the latest.
Sow mixed seed as probably more
satisfactory.
@. Do you think the spring vetches
would do as well in this section as
the hairy vetch? r. B., Bay MIN
cite.
A. I am inclined to think so. While
not so cold resistant, they are grown
in south Mississippi, planted in the
fall, and are a pronounced success.
The seed are much cheaper than
hairy vetch, and there would be con-
siderable saving.
Q. / want to SOW Johnson grass
with oats on a bottom for the pur-
pose of permanently establishing in
Johnson grass. Do you recommend
this practice, and how much seed
would you use to- the acre? M. p,
Sipsey
A. This practice Is frequent and
successful. Heavy seeding Is neces-
sary to get a stand the first season.
and I would recommend the use of
80 to 40 pounds OF recleaned seed to
the acre.

A. If the soil is good, thoroughly

hO& P1@tureS
We are often asked for advice
about hog pastures and some few
people seem to believe that hogs
need something entirely different
from other live stock, when as
matter of fact any pasture. suitable
Tor cows, mules or horses, will in
most cases be suitable for hogs Ae-
tually. many folks don't realize that
hogs are tremendous consumers Of
nearly all grasses besides an endless
number of weeds, some of which are
very troublesome to the farmer.
Hogs will frequently clean a pasture
OF many noxious weeds that other
live stock won't eat at all. It's often
good business TO let the hogs have
the run of the permanent pasture.
Any pasture mixture that contains
Bermuda grass, paspalum. orchard
grass, meadow fescue. red top, carpet
grass and practically any of the
olovers will be suitable for swine. A
good time to prepare the ground for
such pasture Is right now. The
seed may be sown In October or No
vember, the sooner the better. The
main factor In making a permanent
pasture. as I have pointed out be-
fore. Is thorough land preparation.
Without adequate preparations, sue
cess Is doubtful.

Mary Miles Minter
"Heart Specialist"
Grand Tomorrow

Innocently sounding though its ii
tie is, and despite the fact that Mary
Miles Minter has almost always beer
associated with roles of the "sweet
sixteen" type, her latest realart pic
ture for Famous Players-Lasky dis
tribution, "The Heart Specialist
possesses a dramatic punch seldom
equaled upon the, screen. 1t will be
presented at the Grand theater.
With this picture Miss Minter def
initely enters the ranks of the dra-
matte queens of the screen, for the
role which she interprets is one
which makes great demands upon her
histrionic ability and enables her to
show phases of her art never before
revealed on the screen. The story
tells of how young romance writer,
sent out by her editor to gain a new
insight into the heart romances
which she is writing, finds it in a sur
prising manner in more surprising
place, But not until she has fought
with crooks, matched wits with
half-crazed doctor, been thrown down
d well and generally treated in such
a way as to make the young man she
ultimately wins proud of her. --.--.

teacher, and Kendrick Mattox, as the
gardeners son, had opportunities of
which they took full advantage.
Enthusiastic eighth graders who
entered into the search for the spade,
lent naturalnes st othe scenes. These
were Misses Sarah Hill, Kate Dean,
Charlotte Grimm, Mildred de Mont
mollin, and the other eighth graders
participating in the search We're
Misses Septa Savell, Harriet Crane,

markable progress. Altogether the
affair was one ofrthe most delightful
ever put on by the schools here.
