Some of Big Essentials
for Sweet Clover.Hay

There are farmers who follow the
practice of cutting sweet clover hay
with binder and cure it in long
shocks. The farmers who follow this
practice seem to agree that the meth
cd is good one. The practice is
when dry to put 1t In the barn or to
stack 1t in round stacks like grain.
The advantages claimed for this meth
cd are that 1t saves the leaves and
that the labor saved Is a much bigger
item than the cost Of twine. Also,
with the binder, it is easy to get the
high stubble that Is necessary II one
Is not to kill the plants.
For farmers who do not have a lot
of corn or potato cultivating to do, 1t
is probably preferable to cut the sweet
clover hay with a mower at about the
same date that the first cutting of
alfalfa would come. 1t should be raked
as soon as wilted. II the acreage is
small and labor is available, 1t may
be put in cocks and hauled to the
barn when dry. II the hay loaded Is
to be used, 1t should be turned into
windrows with side delivery rake
as soon as wilted so as to save the
leaves.
In any case, keep in mind that the
essential for good sweet clover hay
is to get 1t into windrows or cocks
as soon as wilted so that the leaves
may be preserved. The same care in
handling SO as to save leaves Is Of
almost equal Importance with ordinary
red or alsike clover and alfalfa as
with sweet clover. II a mower is
used some device is necessary for
raising the cutting bar If one is to
avoid killing the plants.

An average cash balance of $3.50 was
returned to owner-operators In 1923
on 1873 farms surveyed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In addition to this margin Of
cash receipts over cash expenses these
farms increased inventories of crops,

Sl,o2O for the use Of S17,40O of capital
and the labor of the farmer and his
family. These farms also produced
food and fuel consumed on the farm
estimated TO be worth $3.50 on the nv
erage.
Better Than in 1922.
This is slightly better than shown
by a similar survey for 1922 on 6.O94
owner-operutor farms which averaged
cash balance of S715, increased in
ventory of S202. and produced food
and fuel worth 1894 on capital amount

The cash balance of $3.50 IN 1923
was all the average of these farms
made available to the owner to pay
his living expenses, take care of debts,
and make Improvements. Interest
paid on debts during the year 1923
averaged $3.50 and the reported outlay
FOR Improvements averaged $140.
Sales of crops In 1923 on the aver
age totaled $3.50 or 3s per cent of to.
tai cash receipts of $2,240 Sales of
live stock or live stock products were
81 ,310 or SO per cent of the total re.

Size and Value.
The size of the farms was 300 acres

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-While
Republican house members were

draft a bill of their own using the
Mellon plan as a basis, Secretary
Mellon renewed defense of his pro-
posal in another letter to Senator
Couzens, Republican of Michigan.
In a previous letter to the secre-

Mr.. Mellon to tell the country
what effect his plan would have
on his own personal taxes. The sec
retary's reply did not mention the
subject, however, but instead in

err the resent high surtax rates did

Mr.. Mellon, who disregarded a
challenge to a joint debate on the

phatically denied that he had aban-
doned his position that high sur
taxs were were becoming less

considerably criticized in Congress

isn't on the ground that the adj

NURDERESS GUILTY.
GIVEN DEATH PENALTY
by JURY At ATLANTA
Shot Aged Mother-in-law, Mrs.
M. C. Hughes, to Death in
Her Home There
TO HANG MARCH 10
While Solicitor Plead for The
Rope Before Jury Defendant
Remained Imperturbed


ATLANTA, Jan. 25.--A jury in
Judge G. H. Towards division OF
Fulton Superior court, last night
returned verdict of guilty in tho
case of Mrs. Ida Hughes charged
with the murder Of Mrs. NJ. G.
Hughes, aged mother of her hus-
band. The verdict, which carried no
recommendation of mercy, carries
with it the death penalty.
During the Thursday afternoon
session Solicitor Boykin in his final
argument before the jury made a
dramatic plea, asking the jury to
hang Mrs. Hughes--"the cold
blooded murderess. Vigorous de-
.nounceemnt by the solicitor had no
outward effect ON the defendant.
She kept her eyes trained on Mr.,
Boykin as he pleaded for the rope
as penace for the cold-blooded
murder Of Mother" Hughes.
Mrs Hughes, with one arm about
Clarence, 14-year-old son by for
mer marriage of Frank Hughes, her
husband, who was jointly indicted
lin connection with his mothers
death, remained imperturbed and
composed - almost Indifferent, as
jurors heard the charge of Judge
Howard and solemnly filed out Of
the courtroom to determine whether
she should go free, be imprisoned
or die upon the gallows.
Acquittal on contention that the
search made in Mrs. Ida Hughes
home in Eagon PAX by two Hape-
vile policemen and the dead woman
was Illegal, was asked by Attorney
H. "A. Allen in the closing argument
of the trial
Mrs. Hughes was visibly affect
ed by the verdict, but made no
statement prior to the sentence be-
ing pronounced by Judge Howard.
Mrs. Hughes is charged with hav-
ing shot and killed her mother-in-
law as she was searching a trunk,
in her home December 80. Frank
Hughes, her husband, indicted joint
ly with his wife in connection with
his mothers death, is expected to
be nut on trial soon.
Should the santence be carried
out, Mrs. Hughes will be the third
white woman to hang in the Grim
inal annals of the state. She is the
fifth woman to receive the verdict
of death, the other two having Their
sentences committed.
