Lespedeza Fine
For Hay, Pasture
A. II: Mcmillan, of Chestnut
Hill, First Started Plant
LeSpedeza IL Years Ago

A. H. Mcmillan, who lives in
the Chestnut Hill community and
IS cooperating with the New River
Soil Conservation District, has
had some interesting experience
IN using annual lespedeza in pas
lures and in rotations.
MIR. Mcmillan said he bought
some common lespedeza seed
twelve years ago and seeded it in
his pasture grasses to improve the
sod and obtain a better balanced
diet for his cattle. He said that
for two or three years after he
seeded it he didn't realize its
value but today, after twelve
years, it is still in the pasture and
is furnishing excellent grazing,
particularly in the late summer.
From this experience Mr.. Nc
MILAN said he started mixing
Korean lespedeza seed with his
grass mixtures with good results.
Last year he cut three large
stacks of hay off four acres of
land seeded to Korean lespedeza
and fed it in the winter. He and
his neighbors both noticed that
the cattle fed on the lespedeza
hay were in better shape than
after other winters when they had
been fed on the ordinary hay
grown in that section.
According to Mr.. Mcmillan
Korean lespedeza not only prod
uces an excellent quality of hay
on average to poor land but also
produces a large amount. He said
that anytime he can obtain four

Fair time is mere again anu IL
the frost remains away a few
days longer all indications are
that the exhibits will be the best

ture has been soaring it is hard
to imagine that frost is just

been raging and several people

A Close Shave
We heard the other day about
a little girl who asked her mo-
Their if there were any men IN hea-
ven. Her mother assured her that
there were. then the child replied,
"But l have never seen any an
gels with boards, mother"
"Well I guess they all got there
by a close shave" the mother an
swered.
This day and time number OF
things are accomplished by a
close shave, or barely in time. All
department heads are anxious
for exhibitors to bring in their
entries before the last minute,
and avoid the rush or "close
shaVe".
Fair Flights and Fancies
The fair, along with its hum
dreds of fine exhibits, often at
tracts some oddities. And it would
be impossible to have an event OF
this magnitude without something
odd taking place.
In the department of vegetables
there is listed. Largest pumpkin
(pie)". This refers to the pie va
riety of pumpkin and is so called
to distinguish it from the field
type. Last year some one took
the statement for its literal value
and really baked the largest
pumpkin pie we have ever seen,
for this entry.
Typographical errors sometimes
occur even whenever care is made
to avoid them. In the catalogue
this year, Mr.. Levern Johnson is
listed as superintendent of the
canned goods division. The cans
Mr.. johnson are most interested
in are milk cans which come to
the cheese plant. Mrs. Johnson is
superintendent Of the canned
goods department.

is vice-chairman of the fair is list

Nazi aerial activities in the Mediter-
ranean, predicted that united axis
offensive aimed at smashing British
naval mastery of the great inland
sea was imminent.
To meet the situation, Gen.
Wavell's army was said to be making
every effort to capture Bengasi "in
the near future" and bring the con-
quest of Eastern Libya to q swift
conclusion.
Military authorities disclosed that
British forces were taking a short
cut across the Cirenaican hump"
to reach Bengasi, which lies about
$50 miles west of Tobruk, but did
not indicate how far they had ad-
vanced.
Earlier reports from the front said
the italian garrison at'Derna was
attempting to slip away before the
British could pinch the port off, and
military men doubted that any Sc
rious resistance would be encoun-
tered there.
Aerial reconnaissance was said to
have shown that the Italian air
force has been compelled to with
draw to bases far removed in West
ern Libya.
In their drive westward from
Tobruk the British were reported to
have captured already approxi-
mately 10000 additional prisoners,
