DEVELOPMENT of its schools and the

Coming Events.

Extract from Editorial in Bos-
ton Transcript. Aug. I'D.
Nothing is to be gained by ignor-
ing the fact that the failure OF the
administration in the current crisis
is bound to have a bad effect up
on the Republican campaign in
the state which holds the right OF
the line in this election year-ahe
state OF the vice president and the
secretary of war. the state also OF.
the leader Of the senate and speak
er of the house OF Representatives
Those who believe, however,
that the party in power of which
he president. Haraing1 is the titu-
lar leader deserves an immediate
rebuke by reason OF its failure
either to keep its campaign pledges
or to meet the. challenge Of the
hour, must either possess their
souls in patience for another two
wears or make the Republican ean-
didates in the battle ground states
like Massachusetts, and Ohio the
unwilling and to a large extent the
undeserved vehicles of the express
sion OF the prevailing popular dis
gust.
Presumably Vice President
Coolidge. Secretary Weeks. Seaa-
tor Lodge and Speaker Gillett have
failed TO defend the administra-
ton for the very good reason that
they can find no defense for it's fall
ure. And when they attempt on
the stump in the coming campaign
to deal with the dawdling at Wash
.inston days and weeks ana
months, what is there for them to
say?

yfdea that the banks should make
T7seir returns TO the county audi
tor for assessment by the county
boards in the same manner as had
prevailed before the creation OF the
tax commission. and then to be
eanaiized by the commission. When
the returns We're made in 1916,

In the case Of merchants and
miscellaneous manufacture oth-
er than those already enumerated
from data obtained from the
comptroller generals report OF
1913. it was found that the total
assessed value of the above classes
of property was approximately
ST.. .o60. 10000. Under the system
Of special reports required OF own
ers OF this class OF property. and
by following up these reports by
field agents OF the commission eN-
amining the books and records per
tanning to such property. the as
sessments thereof were increased
until the total amount in 1921 was
s4l.SI5.S5100, or an increase OF
approximately $50. 900, 100000.
The work of the commission IN
this field revealed the fact that
numbers of merchants We're paying
no taxes at all. and the assessments
ranged from three-fourths Of one
per cent. TO more than one nun
6reG per cent. of the values of their
prouerties. In one county the COM
mission found stock Of merchan-
disc actually worth $50 10000.
which was assessed at $4,000, or
three-fourths of one per cent. of
its value. In the same county a
stock OF goods actually worth
$500, was assessed at s605.oo or
one hundred and three per cent. OF
it's value.

DR. ANDREW NJ. SOULE

have a quarter of an acre of
land that / would like to plant
in clover. What variety would
you recommend, and when
should it be planted?
Several kinds of clover can be
planted successfully in Georgia. The
one best suited for seeding at this
particular time Of the year would
be bur clover. This may be sown
in one of two ways: Either in the
bur, or as recleaned seed. This clover
is a perennial, but normally reseeds
itself each year if it is not grazed too
heavily. Sometimes it may furnish
grazing during the winter as well.
1t is well relished by all classes of
live stock. The seed, when sown in
the bur, terminate very slowly. This
is due to the hard crust which covers
them. Heavy seeding must, there
fore, be followed. When an attempt
is made to secure a stand from SOW
ing seed in the bur, from four to six
bushels should be used per acre.
You may seed it in rows about three
feet apart. 1t is a good thing to pillow
out a furrow and then scatter some
stable manure in it. Some acid phos-
phate can also be used. At least
800 pounds per acre should be ap-
piled. 1t is a good time now to plant
bur clover. 1t does especially we'll
on Bermuda sod.
You can, of course, SOW lespedeza,
though it is late in the season to
plant this crop. This is a summer
growing clover. 1t, as a rule, reseeds
ficf0 nh Will T. .Ni1
improver, and combines well with
Bermuda sod. You should scatter
out about ten pounds of seed per
acre. We prefer planting this crop
on land prepared early in May to
seeding it at this season Of the year.
Another variety of clover that can
be grown to advantage in your Sec
ton of the state is alfalfa. This
should be seeded on properly pre-
pared land about October 1-15. AL
falfa is a perennial. You may cut
it as often as five or six times in
year. We have good stands of al
falfa which have been established
on the college farm here at Ath-
ems for more than ten years. Our
average yield of hay varies from
four to five tons per annum. We adj
wise the farmers who live in your
section of Georgia to plant reason
ably large areas of alfalfa on their
farms. They will find it a particu-
larly valuable crop on VIII CHI to de-
pend in view of the revenues which
the boil weevil has cut down and
the small income which our farmers
are likely to derive from cotton. AL
falfa is somewhat difficult to estab-
fish. The seed must of necessity be
carefully inoculated. Also use only
western-grown seed. We do not be-
l'eve farmer can make a better in
vestment at this time than to estab-
fish an area of alfalfa on his land.
