3-ton crop of alfalfa takes from
the soil So pounds of phosphoric
acid and 1875 pounds of potash, on
the average. Most of the nitrogen
in alfalfa and the other legumes
comes from the air. In the case
of non-legumes, most of the nitro
gen as well as all the phosphate
and potash comes from the soil
supply.
Part of the nutrients in some
crops is returned to the soil when
the unharvested portion of the
plant is plowed under, but with
other crops, almost all the nutri-
ents are removed in the harvest.
1t is clear that unless they are
returned in some way, the soil
supply will soon be exhausted. 1t
is like drawing on a bank account
without making any deposits.
When everything has been drawn
out of the bank, the account is
worthless until it is replenished,
The use of manure will help
maintain the soils plant-food sup
ply. But most farmers are lucky
if they have enough manure to
cover their farm once in a rotation
of four years. If 10 tons per acre
are spread, this will mean that an
average of 25 pounds each of nj
trogen and potash and half this
amount Of phosphoric acid pei
year are added by the manure.
Good yields Of crops usually take

White Dutch Clover
To Be Harvested In Co.

White Dutch Glover seed will be
harvested in Holmes County this
year for the first time as far as is
known.
Mr.. II. p. Watson, Lexington; Nh.
o. w. Nixon, Tchula; and 7. J.
Brown, Ebenezer have from four to
twenty-five acres which they plan to
harvest.
Since the importation of White
Dutch Clover seed has been cut off
during the last year, these seed have
been selling at a price ranging from
80 cents to 70 cents per pound.
Farmers of Claiborne County have
been harvesting seed from White
Dutch Glover several years and last
year they secured from $50 to 800
worth of seed per acre.
There is no reason why White
Dutch Clover should not be grown
in Holmes as well as in Claiborne
County.

Corson Recommends
Late Variety of Corn
To Be Planted

The Mississippi Experiment Sta
ton has bred a variety of corn for
late planting known as Laguna.
When planting corn in late May OF
June, this is a highly recommended
variety to use.
The average of a five year test,
June planting shows an average yield
of 3d-9 bushels of Laguna Corn as
compared to 800 bushels of Mosby,
1t is interesting to note the July
planting of this corn averaged in the
same test 1S l-2 bushels per acre
as compared to S.4 bushels of Mosby
If you plan to plant June corr
this year., | would suggest that you
try this variety.

Border Men Keep
Lookout for Cars

MEXICO CITY, Oct (UPl -
Mexico and the United States are
cooperating to cope with interna-
tional car thieves who shuttle stolen
automobiles across the long Mex
ican- United States border, stretch
ing from California to Texas.
Edward Gormley, Of Dallas, Tex.
chief of the southwest division OF
the National Auto Theft Bureau
recently consulted with Mexican
officials here on the theft traffic
and on how to check it. Officials of
both nations have agreed to in
crease the vigilance at border
towns.
They will establish devices TO
deal with the traffic, such as the
construction of artificial bumps
in the highway near the border,
to prevent such incidents as the
recent crossing of the border at
El Paso, Tex, by a stolen car
which sped across the bridge, thru
the international gates at Ciudad
de Juarez and disappeared in the
night at speed of 60 miles an
hour.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-10-02

In the past, stolen car traffic has
moved steadily southwark from the
United States into Mexico, but now
the situation is beginning to re-
verse itself. Cars are being stolen
more frequently in Mexico and
driven to the United States where
they bring high prices in the sec
ond-hand car market, booming be-
cause of the potential car shortage
as result of defense production.
Mexican officlaIs, principally Gen.
Manuel Enriquez, director general
of customs and Lieut.. Col. Antonio
Lozano Ruiz. chief of the Federal
police, are planning to erect huge,
easily visible signs, marking the
end Of the so-callcd "frce-zone for
the entry of United States cars into
Mexico without special credentials.
This zone extends IA miles into
Mexico. 1rayeIers passing the zone
without credentials are liable to
payment or a fine o. 900 pesos
