quently disappointed in the growth
of rye pastures because of late
seeding and too small quantity OF
seed per acre. This year we are
sowing one and one-half bushels Of
seed per acre in September and ex-
pect to get an abundance of win

The greatest need of agriculture
in the South is the general use of
o winter growing legume for soil
improvement. For this purpose we
are endeavoring to get a general
seeding of yellow annual milliotus
over the entire farm. Last year
a small patch was grown on the
campus and now hay from that
patch is being scattered ahead of
the grain-driff in seeding rye. The
advantage of yellow melilotus is
that when land is once innoculated
and soil infested with seed it will
grow every winter without reseed-

CHANGE MANNER OF
MAKING WATER BILLS

VALDOSTA, Oct. 5.-Consum-
ers of city water have received in
the past few days the last quarter
ly bills to be sent to them, COM
mencing with the first of this
month bills will be rendered month
ly, in order that consumers may be
enabled to keep better track of the
consumption of water and possible
waste, the latter usually being the
cause of much concern when the
water bills mount up as they do in
three months. While this new sys-
tenn entails more work for the city
water officials, yet it is to be ac-
complished without additional
force, thus keeping down the ex-
penses.

Automobile library.

In an article, Books That Gather
No Dust" In st. Nicholas. G. F. Thorn
son describes the distribution OF
library volumes In country districts.
One of the most interesting of these
wagons operates out of Hibbing, MINI.
This village, known as the richest for
it's size In tn. world, because OF the
wealth Of copper ore deposited there,
has a book automobile which makes
a daily trip through the township.
distributing on the average 1870 books.
This Is the most complete wagon Of
its kind. The machine is lined with
inside shelves, filed with as many as
1000 books. There is also a libra
rian's desk. and six people may be
accommodated inside the library" at
one time. The car generates Its own
light and some heat, but a coal stove
Is installed for midwinter trips, since
the thermometer gets down to around
40 below zero. The Librarian and his
patrons, representing about fourteen
different nationalities. are thus able
to select and exchange books In home
like comfort. When the drifts OF
snow pile high the a travels the
main roads, and deliveries to schools
and homes of the beaten track are
then made by children with their
sleds.

Many Labor Laws
Unconstitutional
Statutes Fail to Stand
Court Tests, Report
Shows.

WaShington.-The laws in the field
OF labor which have failed 10 survive
the test are covered in a bulletin re-
Gently issued by the United States
Bureau OF Labor Statistics. The bull
lctin shows that some 40 statutes. or.
~dinances. and bills have thus been de-
clared unconstitutional by the various
courts. The decisions covered are
mainly those OF the courts of final jur-
isdiction. State and Federal. but in
some cases the decision OF a lower
court holding an act unconstitutional
has not been contested. and such de-
oisions have been accepted as con
elusive. Practically every phase of
legislation and attempted legislation
is represented by the laws. etc. found
invalid. The bulletin opens with a
statement of the basis OF legislative
action and the constitutional distinc-
tons which the courts apply. Then
follows a brief account of the subject
of each enactment and the reason for
its condemnation. with the citations Of
cases. The southern states have at
tempted in various ways to compel
the repayment OF money and supplies
advanced in anticipation of services to
be rendered under a labor contract,
and seven such statutes have been
found to conflict with the Constitu-
ton; while an equal number seeking
like ends by furnishing breaches OF
contracts were likewise futile. At
tempts to compel the giving of a
statement of cause of discharge were
declared invalid in four states. while
two others upheld them. being sus-
tanned therein by the Supreme Court
of the United States.
