husband. He was a swell fellow.
Every time Margaret Brennan said
on the stand that he was like q
beast and a maniac I could have
screamed. I wanted to rush up
and shake her and maybe shake
the truth out of her.
KIND AND SWEET
He was kind and sweet. lived
with him for six years. I'd know
his character, wouldn't I? We
we're so close-I was crazy about
him and he was crazy about me,
and about the children.
I don't known how he could
have got mixed up with Margaret
brennan. He wasn't a woman
chaser. He loved ,his home and
his family. But I do know that If
there was anything between them,
she was as much to blame as
he was.
WHY PICK HIM?
Why did she have to pick my
husband? There's plenty of single
fellows. Did she have to break up
my home and kill my husband
and make my children orphans?
Ever since the night of Septem-
Der 7, I haven't done anything but
cry. Yesterday some one asked
me: why don't you go home?
Why do you stay here and torture
yourself listening to this rotten
testimony?
I just said Have you ever been
In love?" When you've really
loved a man you can't forget him
IN a day.
I sat in this courtroom every
day during the trial because I had
to know the truth. I wanted to

tween my husband and Margaret

GRAZING ON ANNUAL CROPS

/ the period of greatest growth, they
will in their struggle to bloom anu
make seed last until the first or June
thus connecting up with the soy peans
These two crops which are prac-
tically "fool proof furnish an enof-
nous amount of good grazing ana at
the same time more than pay Tor all
costs by greatly enriching the SOIL
filling it with humus and nitrogen.
Their growth is greatly stimulated
bv the use of lime and superphos-
phate. Most of this is returned to the
soil when the stubble is underplowed
and disked in preparation for the
planting of soy beans and Sudan
grass.
It is difficult to make a choice Se-
| tween bur clover and crimson cloVef.
| Bur clover however, has the adVah-
tage of reseeding itself without any
possibility of failure.
On one five acre tract of luxurlant
bur clover we found this last Spring
that we got 1000 cow grazing days. 1
am satisfied we could have gotten an
other 1000 DAYS had it not been that
we had so much crimson clover we
did not want to Craze the COWS too
often on this one field.
We later harvested 1000 bushels Of
bur clover seed in the bur, from this
| five acres.

written on farm practice, so l nave
attempted to touch only on few
points which seem to open the door
to economies which lead to success
1t will be a peculiar pleasure II
this system of continuous grazing on
i annual crops can make an important
! contribution to animal hus5andry IN
| the South. and if this in turn can in
crease the spendable income of south
ern farmers and add to the happiness

| After all it is widespread happiness
| which should be our objective.
To Summarize.
Our practice is: % To use subsoil
| blowing, followed with disking rather
| than to turn under the surface of the
soil. ~ To substitute annual crops
for perennials as they at small cost
! give far greater tonnage of nourlsh-
ing feed. Because of deeper root sys-
tenn they carry successfully through
normal periods of drought which
| make useless the average permanent
| pasture. CD With annual crops we can
use the land during the entire twelve
months as contrasted with from three
to six months the period of usefulness

STATE is LACKING
in SILO EQUIPMENT
Few Farmers Have Proper Facilities
For Feed-PrOducing Corn on
Their Farms

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. s.
More succulent roughage feed per
acre can be obtained from corn made
into silage than from any other
known crop.
Yet comparatively few North Caro-
lima farmers have silos that enable
them to take advantage of the feed
producing possibilities of their corn,
said F. r. Farnham, extension dairy
specialist at State College.
The development of the trench silo,
however, is remedying this situation,
he added, since silage can be stored
profitably in trench on small farms
where large, upright silos would be
Impractical.
The trend is definitely toward
silage instead of dry hays, Farnham
continued. Unfavorable weather is
less likely to cause a loss when corn
is harvested for silage than when
hay is being cut and cured.
Then, too, he added, silage produc-
stion requires less acreage in cultiva-
ton and permits the use Of soil-build-
ing crops on land that would other
wise have to be used for growing hay.
Silage is succulent type Of rough
age that keeps cows in healthy con-
dition during the winter feeding pc
riod and assists materially in main
tanning the milk flow, he said.
The trench silo is not hard to con-
struct, he went on. Many instances
have been reported of farmer and
his son, using team of mules with a
pillow and a slip-scrape, dilsgfng a
trench silo and filling it in three days
with enough corn ensilage to feed IL
cows 6 months.
A cheap roof placed over the trench
silo will help protect the feed from
bad weather and also keep the walls
from caving in, Farnham stated.
