Meigs Valley Grange

Stop! Look! Listen! Meigs Val
ley grange held pot luck supper
Oct 10, at the home Of Mr.. Jos.
Warne and wife. The grange chose
up on two sides some weeks ago,
each side to win, not to serve, the
supper, by each member on a side
being present and taking some part
when called on. The side that had
the most active members was to be
the winning side and such wonder
full supper and evening as were en-
joyed. The time fairly flew. Mr..
and Mrs. Warne never allow a
guest to get that left-out feeling,
and there were no wall flowers at the
party. Strangers got little extra
attention, that is why we had about
80 persons present, and the next
time twice that many. The evening
was spent in practicing the grange
songs and music, then a social time
and eating at late hour, going
home to work harder to get our
new grange hall completed. Then
watch us.
Come and join u.s. Come and see
welcome to all-XX

interest is on the increase, if the ship ,nents and sales reported by our publi- cations division are fair test. Read inr between the lines of orders re- ceiyed, it appears that others as well as league members know what they want to know and when they want 1t. If the publications list of the league, en- closed, meets conscious need with leaflets and pamphlets containing sound facts in few words, simply put and clearly printed, the league has begun
 to realize one of its ideals of service. Ii some of the series it advertises-as
 that remarkable one on living costs yhets d new appetite for knowledge of economic fact in that instance-on which to base political opinions, the league will have begun to renlize an
 educational ideal, progressively help
 ing voters to meet the issues the times force upon us.
 Each year the chairman of our de
 partments and committees make adj yances toward our goal of underwriting ', every item of our adopted program with concise printed material for ready use. Their contributions are often uniuue, as in the case of the envelope of primers on international topics. Occasionally they are original and pungent, as in the additions made to
 the social hygiene series this summer. Of the same originality and even more immediately pertinent to questions brought home to women, and to legis-
 latures, are the latest contributions of
 our committee on the legal status of
 women. A copy of the survey of the illegal status of women in the AS states
 should be within reach of all who have occasion to refer to thorough source
 of information on the subject. The
 economic status of q wife is a lively
 discussion of an outstanding legal dis
 criipination against women. Equal

 This year our list, includes, as of present importance q reprint with facts brought up to date of the convention and rhe primary, an address made by Professor Charles D. Merriam at the first citizenship school held by the league iil Chicago, in February, 1920. Political Education: Citizenship schooI. ana institutes flourish and mul- tiply, taking on new forms as they prove adaptable to needs discovered. The two regional institutes, held in Ann Arbor and San Francisco this sum. mcr, were not merely distinguished schools of government and politics. Into their records were written before dheir | close plans for local schools of citizen ship and even registrations for another year. It is gratifying to find that such | institutes leave in their wake loyal 1 friends and interpreters of the league in the universities whose cooperating fa- | culties give distinction to the league s educational undertakings. | Cooperation with state normal schools is a recent successful feature III carrying out the leagues program. ln Asheyille, IN. C., in the course of such cooperation in July n discussion of the tariff by our living costs chairman was introduced. It made such an i'm pression that that new subject for study in our program already competes with international questions always most popular--for q place ill state schools and conventions this autumn Prediction schools are advertised for October in towns and citles--one tc be held in metropolitan city-hall
 others in every ward in a city, still oth- CTS planned for one day in each Of many county seats. All these schools propose to amplify the ballot-makina classes with which the league began four. years ago. The prediction schools will discuss-What Every Voter Should Know About Voting, What Every Voter Should Know About Parties, Political Issues of the Day, Why Vote-thus giv' ing momentum to the Get-Out- The Vote campaign.

AT THEIR BEST IN TEENS
Jockeys Achieve Fame While Still Of

School Age.
 Few people realize that most of the leading English jockeys are either still in their teens or in the very early twenties.
 They achieve fame as the riders ot ''classic" winners at an age when most other boys are hardly beginning to take their school days seriously, and, owing to the difficulty of keeping down weigh, freduently retire with a small fortune to become trainers of other mems horses and other mems boys before they gre 30.
 Of the 12 leading jockeys this sea son. nine are either still under 70 or well on the sunny side of %.
 The younger jockey begins his pro fessional career - according to Steve Donohue-the better. His son Pat, who left school in July to follow in his famous fathers footsteps and rode his first winner for Eleanor Lady Torring- ton recently, will not be 14 years old until October.
 Father and son rode against each other in the first race which Pat rode as a professional jockey, and also a few weeks past when the son won his first race.
 Another jockey who frequently rides against his father is w. McLachlan, Jr Although only about 16, he has beer wonderfully successful this season 1T winning some of the biggest races, ant is now sixth on the list of winning jockeys. In April he performed flea only paralleled twice when he rode thu Mtnner of the Great Metropolitan a Epsom on Tuesday and the winner O the City and Suburban the following suy,

CARPET GRASS

The Age-Herald has received frequent inquiries of late about carpet grass and these brief observations may be of help to other interested readers. Carpet grass bears a close resemblance to Bermuda, but the runners are more fleshy, not so wiry, more succulent, grows faster and will thrive on land too sandy for Der muda to make much headway on, and is equal in feeding value and carrying ca pacity. Carpet grass is a perennial plant, spreading by creeping stems and the tips are more plume than Bermuda. The grass throws up slender seed stems, one to two feet high, and reseeds abund- antly throughout the entire spring, sum mer and fall. Unlike Bermuda, it has no wiry underground roots and is easily destroyed by blowing under. The seed are much smaller than Bermuda and about half as heavy. The great value of Carpet grass lies ill its ability to stand hot, dry conditions and affords val uable, permanent pasture practically all the year round, either alone or in a mix ture with such plants as leSpediza. dallis grass, bur clover, white clover and the " grasses. The seed may be sown either in the fall or early spring and it is not necessary to break the soil but merely scratch on the surface of the grolff1d. It is desirable to burn off all the native wild grasses, weeds and other rubbish before sowing. As little as five pounds of seed will sometimes produce a stand, but as much as ten wounds is recommended for an acre.

give the plants time 10 SeCIle anu eslao- fish roots to sustain active browth.
 Q-Is there any economical way to destroy the gallberry bushes on land?- J. A., Atmore, Ala.
 Al don't know of any special cheap plan. Those who have them to contend with claim that if the sprouts are kept cut down for two seasons the plants dis appear. Drainage is practical as the plant don't-seem to thrive on well drain ed land. There is bulletin on the sub ject that I think is still in print and may be had on application to the ma tional agricultural department.
 O.-I want to repot some calla lilies that done poorly the past season.. They made rank growth but some never bloomed. May this be done now and what of oil?-Mrs. M.. Cullman, Ala
 Al would repot the callas at once. Your trouble may be due to excessive fertility and too frequent use of water. In repotting use some clay in the loam soil, give good drainage at the bottom and don't keep the>soil too wet. Calla lilies bloom best in a moderately rich soil or rather poor ground.
 
 Q.-Can you tell us how low tenn perature radishes, will stand without serious injure to the commercial crop! N. D., Greenville, Ala.
 A.-the winter sorts are perfectly hardy, but the quick maturing sorts, 4 to s degrees below freeing, is about all they will stand. Stage or growth and other climatic conditions would have much to do with it.
 Q.-It seems that everything plant in my garden is badly injured or killed altogether by what some one told me was root-knot. Is there anything l can do! Mrs. C., R. F. D. l.
 A great deal of the soil in your garden is infested with various soil worms, not visible to the eye but they attack great variety of plants and make success almost impossible. There is really no economical remedy that IS althogether effective. Draining the soil tsnd iiminc- the land does help some.

Questions and Answers

(OO I ordered onion sets to plant and I find them covered with black substance that looks like smut. Do you suppose they are fit to plant or are they diseased?-W. A., West Blocton.
 IAO Onions do have disease called smut and it's very injuries to the crop especially when allowed to mature. II you sprinkle little common sulphur in the trenches when setting out, much of the smut will disappear.
 (O.D I stored my Irish potatoes in shed on the dry ground and they have kent we'll but there is a long black bug that is boring into them: Could something be put on them to check thls pest?-G. l., Cordova, Ala.
 (A.) Putting a floor under the po- tatoes would help. Dusting thoroughly with slacked lime is more or less et- fective and some use common sulphur in the same manner.
 (O.) There is a honeysuckle that blooms all the fall that l want to get hold of. Could you tell me the name of the variety? Am mailing some of the blooms.-H. E., Decatur, Ala.
 (A.) I think the variety is the one known as Halls honeysuckle. This IS very popular and desirable sort. Con suit a good nursery catalogue as most all nursery men have it. The same catalogue will also give full answer about other information wanted.
 (Q.) Have you got good formula for remedy for borers that injure trees and can it be made by an anna teur?"-B. C., Guntersville, Ala.
 (A.) Unless you require quantity it would be better to buy one already prepared because the proper materials are hard to find with dealers. Have mailed formula which anyone can pre- pare if materials can be purchased.
 (Q.) In feeding sorghum hay made from the natural plant, should the heads be removed or just let the stock have the whole plant?-S. R., Morris, Ala.
 (A.) There is no objection to feeding the entire plant. The ripe seed may sometime constipate cattle and require laxative. If the seed seems to dis agree, remove them and feed separate at intervals.
 (Q.) Does the blowing in of OOwpeas the soil like some other green ma nures?-P. M., Hamilton, Ala.
 (A.) Idon't think so. There are but very few plants that would do SO
 (Q.) heard man on the train talk ing about Louisiana grass. Do you know what it is? e. T., Tuscaloosa Ala.
 (A.) Louisiana grass is local name for carpet grass the same as what the Louisiana Frenchman calls petit gazon.

 things and creatures could be elaborated on indefinitely, yet leave much unsaid We are constantly destroying our trees without making much effort to replace them, expecting, as usual, too much from nature. There are occasional ef' forts to create interest in tree planting but no comprehensive plan has ever been worked out that seems adequate. The American seems to be too important to be interested in future generations. It takes time to grow most trees to ma turity, but time is required, for every thing, and there must be a start. It is important to start at the right time, and that time of the year is fast approach ing. In the south, the fall and winter months are the best time to set out trees and this applies to fruits and most all plants that produce wood. It's bad prac' tice to wait until spring, because, often weather conditions will delay planting so late as to cause the loss of many plants that don't have time to settle and begin the growth of a root system to sustain active growth.
 Any growing tree left behind our earthly life will grow into a splendid legacy for our kinfolks. COMPETITION IN FARMING PAYS
 The public knows that competition in all lines of business is good thing for them, but nearly everyone oyerlooks the fact that competition in farming pays not only the public but the farmers themselves. The writer has recently wis ited, in the interest of The Age7Herald number of country fairs where you can see for yourself what competition has done for the farmer. There IS al ways race on to see who is going tt win the various premiums offered fol the best corn, cotton, potaties, peas pumpkins, etc. Generally, when farm CT looses out, he determines right there and then to enter the contest another season and thus the competition has g cumulative value; insures nef efforts and gathers recruits right along. It Ii not only the men that are interested but the women become highly enthusiastic in their efforts to win the prize for tht best quilt, pickles, preserves, jams iellies, canned goods and other home pro ducts. The farm children become in terested, factor that is going tt finally put the country fair on a highl! educated plane that will mean much tt the prosperity of the rural population It is difficult to secure the cooperation of enough people in some counties tC properly organize the needed organiza tion to put on a fair but that it pay: everyone may be easily seen, even by the casual observer.
