County Agent Notes

CRIMSON GLOVER IN MONROE COUNTY
While over in the Amory and
Smithville territory Monday l visit
ed the farms of Mr.. Jim Allen and
Kelly Davis, and on both farms
crimson clover was being plowed
under that was over knee high and
as thick as could grow. Probably
% or 80 acres of clover was growing
on each farm. and | will say that if
anybody can find a crop that looks
better than a field of crimson clover
in full bloom, | would like to see it.
Mr.. Allen and Mr. Davis have been
growing this clover for several years
now, so of course have rich land and
every year their farms are becoming
richer and richer The clover that
is being turned under on tn se farms
will add as much fertilizer to the
land as could be gotten from fifteen
or more sacks of cotton seed meal.
| heard Mr.. Geo. r James make
this statement, and it is fact worth
remembering: As the soil is so are
the people If the soil is rich we
will have wealthy people, and if the
soil is poor we will have poor peo-
pile 1t does not matter how intel
ligent a farmer may be or how hard
he works or saves, he has no chance
of making anything except a hard
living on poor soil.
SOME CRdPs TO PLANT NOW.
Every farmer in the county has
plenty of time to get seed and plant
crop of velvet veans, soy beans or
peas to furnish feed and some fer
tile land to plant another year.
There are thousands of acres of
loam land in this county that should
be planted in velvet beans to furnish
some feed for the cattle In the win
ter time. but there has not been
enough of these beans bought in
Monroe county to plant over 600
acres.
Most farmers say that they will
not plant velvet beans because they
cover the corn. but | think that when
corn will not make over Is bushels
per acre and often less than Is
bushels. it should be covered with
something to hide the poor soil.
A peck of soy beans or velvet
beans cost very little; this amount
is sufficient to plant with an acre
of corn, so why not get a few pecks
to grow with your corn and produce
twice as much feed on every acre of
land.

not know how much. Mr.. Pace said
that oil bearing sands had been en-
countered at an approximate depth
of $50 feet. A rock which he thinks
was the cap rock, was met at 450
feet. then came strata of brown
shale and then, according to Mr..
Pace, the drill entered oil.

Patrol Your Land.

The supreme court of the United
States holds that where a still is
found ON ones land the landowner
is prima facie guilty and may be
convicted without further testimony.
This decision makes it very hazard
Gus for land owners to allow whis-
KEY to be made on their land. 1t
not only subjects them to indict-
ment and conviction. but carries
with it a forfeiture of the land on
which Illicit stills are operated

ADJUSTMENTS
Mystery Leading
Element in Rex
Beach's Fair Lady"

The element of mystery in the new
Rex Beach picture Fair Lady" was
put to a severe and novel test before
it was finally turned over to United
Artists Corporation for release and
the wide difference of opinion of eX-
pcrts on the solution of the mystery
was taken as positive proof that the
public will not be able positively to
anticipate the ending of this screen
drama until the very last scenes.
Fair Lady" viii be seen Friday and
Saturday at the Augusta Opera
House.
When the production vas COM
plcted it was shown privately to an
audience composed of officials from
the United Artists. the chauffeurs
employed by the officials, and studio
mechanics and clerks. None of those
invited to the private showing were
acquainted with the story of Far
Lady This was made a point in
issuing invitations because, Whitman
Bennett, the producer. and Rex
Beach, the author, as well as Dorothy
f'arnum, who prepared the script.
were anxious 10 get an impartial
opinion of the mNstifNing clements
Of tho picture. When six reels Of
the picture had been run off the lights
We're turned on and the spectators
We're asked (which of the characters
in the story was the villain" A tally
of the various conjectures showed
that every member of the cast was
suspected of being the guilty party
Then the seventh reel was shown and
the audience was Let into the secret.
This speaks we'll for the entertain
ment value Of the picture. It is very
unusual when a production can 80 so
near TO its completion without dis
closing some hint Of its ultimate
ending
