Plant a Patch Of Alfalfa This Fall Should Be Preceded By Cowpeas And Lime ANDREW M. SOULE, President Geor gia State College Of Agriculture One deni ring to sow alfalfa in fall should undertake (o prepare the land as soon an possible. We prefer the cowpeas as an improvement crop to use on land intended for alfalfa be cause it will mature in sufficient lime to be lurried under to pood advantage. This should be done when the peas ore In good condition to make into hay. It would be good practice to put at least two tons of crushed raw roelt on the land before sowing Ihe legumes. If this has not been done it Is suggesled that as soon as the cowpeas are turned under that at least two tons of lirne be applied and liar rowed well Into the soil. The land should be worked as a fallow from the tlrno the peas are turned under until September 15 or October 1. If there is a good season in the soil at that time, sow the alfalfa, using about twenty pounds of recleaned western grown seed per acre, and Inoculate it very carefully. How on a cloudy tlay, as strong sunligld will often kill the bacteria of the Inoculating material. We would fertilize the land with two sucks of cotton seed meal and 400 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate. These ingredients should be mixed together And pul on the soil before the seed ing is tione. Harrow the fertilizer into tire soil. Home potash could be used with excellent advantage under allal- fa, bul il Is now impossible to secure It by reason of the European war. Therefore, one must take the best of the existing situation and use such fertilizing material as Is available. The alfalfa should not be grazed or cut ■luring the fall. St? nits MB POTTLE Peach Tree Borer- Fall Time To Fight it J. W. FIROR, Field Agt. Horticulture, Georgia State College Of Agri. The peach tree borer lives inoHl of its life as a worm embedded beneath the liark of the tree, usually just be low I he surface of I he soil. Here II atarts as a very small worm, eating away the life of the tree, getting lam er ami larger until it undergoes a change Into a pupa and then a moth, which lays eggs for more worms to carry on tlielr destructive work on the poach trees. The moths lay the eggs on the trunk and Viranches of the trees during the summer,—most of the eggs being laid during July, August and Heptember. The eggs hatch in from 10 to 16 days and en ter the tree, lty frost till the eggs have hutched that will hatch. At frost time the worms are small, and all that will enter uutil another sum- tyer t have bored into the trees. This is (lie* best time lo light them. Draw the soil away from the trunk Of the tree to a depth, of four Inches or unlil the roots are exposed. Search for the entering holes. With a sharp hnlfe follow these holes until the worms are found, and then kill them. Tlie borer holes can be found by ob serving the presence of a thick sup - gummy like in appearance. Tills sap has come from the tree because of Hie borer’s Injury. There may be a num ber of borers in a single tree. The worker should get them all before leaving the tiee. A small white worm is often found in the sap. This is not tile pench tree borer end It does no damage to tlie tree, but lives on the nap. lYach tree borers do a great deal of damage and many people have lost heart In the growing of fruits because ef them. The question mnv be asked, “Why let such a little thing as a •each tree borer get tlie best of one?" Don’t Puli Fodder PAUL TABOR, Field Agent Agronomy, Georgia State College Of Agr. Pulling fodder is like pulling grass for hny. A good feed is secured bill , «■ a tremendous cost of labor. Also the yield of giuin is decreased by the removal of the leaves before they have finished their task of tilling the cars. The Inereased yield of grain where iUthe leaves are allowed to mature is f usually more than enough to pay foi st the fodder. Hundreds of Georgia farmers have learned this and me nowAj^p stitutitig cowpea hay for the costly fodder and many more will do bo if they will give it u fair trial this year. Comparisons can be made by Btripl'ing some rows of their leaves and leaving others tflone, and at liar- ▼est time noting the condition of the grains on the ears. Seed planted from fodder stripped plants show up poorly eo that the loss is not confined to one season. STOP IN ATLANTA AT HOTEL EMPIRE Opposite Union Depot on Prybr 8t.

Dorsey, candidate tor Governor, by Mr. Joseph E j Pottle ir> his speech here on the 15th, inst., with reference to Mr Dorsey’s connection with the litigation against the State in which the constutionality of the Anti-Paralleling Act was attack ed, in which Mr. Pottle charged Mr. Dorsey with having been connected with the firm of law yers that filled the petition in the Superior Court in Atlanta, we deem it our duty to call your attention to tlie following letter addressed to the law firm with which Mr. Dorsey was connected which was as follows: Letter lo Messrs, Brewster, Howell and Reyman, Ailonitys. Ealnbridge, Ga., August 16, 1916. Messrs Brewster, Howell & Hey- man, Attorney, Atlanta, Ga., Gentlemen:— Mr. Pottle, in his speech here last night, charged that Hugh M. Dorsey was a member of your firm, and that you filed the peti tion in which the constitutionally of the recent Anti-Paralleling Act was attacked as being un constitutional. Please advise Mr. Dorsey’s connection, if any, with your firm at the time the petition was filed, and if your firm filed the petition for the railroad against the State, also your connection In that case, if any, in which Mr. Dorsey was connected, and if your firm was employed by the railroad, was Mr. Dorsey official ly connected with you at that time. We today asked Messrs. King & Spalding, Attorneys, this city, for a statement in reference to the connection of Mr. Dorsey, if any, in the case. Yours very truy, Decatur County Hugh M. Dorsey Club. To which letter we received the following reply: Letter to Decatur County Hugh M. Dorsey Club. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17, 1916. Decatur County Hugh M. Dorsey Club, Bainbridge, Ga. Gentlemen:— Your favor of the 16th, inst,, making inquiries concerning the connection of this firm with the litigation of the Lousville & Nashville Railroad Company, has just been received. We have never been identified in any way with the legal depart ment of the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad, but we associated with Messrs. King & Spalding with special reference to an ad judication of the constutionality of the act of the Georgia Legis lature relative to the Western & Atlantic Railroad Company. There was no dispute between the parties to the litigation con- ct tiling the facts in the case.and the case was tried upon an agreed statement of facts, sign ed by the attorneys for all the parties. During the five years that Mr. Hugh M. Dorsey was Solicitor- General of this circuit, the duties of that position absorbed his en tire time. He kept his office in the court house building, and did not assist us in the civil business of our firm, nor did we assist him in the criminal business under his jurisdiction as Solicitor-Gen- erai. He had no personal connection whatsoever with this litigation: his opinion was not invoked on the subject; he did not appear ; n any phase ot the matter, and his only knowledge of the progress WHY MANY TOWNS APPROVE' FREIGHT RATE EQUALIZATION R0©re Instances Showing How New Interstate Freight ftate Adjustment Is Benefiting Georgia Cities and Towns.

THE RAILROADS.OF GEORGIA paper reports. Our firm has sued the Louis ville & Nashville Railroad in sev eral cases, Mr. Dorsey personally attending to the interest of the plaintiff in each of these cases, until his election as solicitor.gen- eral made it impossible for him to devote his attention to the civil practice. As solicitor-general, he prose cuted the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at least three times. When he announced his candi dacy for Governor of Georgia, he advised his associates that he did not deem it proper to continue in the practice of . his profession for the office, and Mr. Dorsey severed his connection with us, to take effect August 1st, 1916, and is not connected with our firm in any way. Our firm name was founded by his father, Judge Rufus T. Dor sey, (now deceased), before Mr. Dorsey was admitted to the bar, and has remained unchanged for twenty years. The personrel of the legal de partment of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad is shown bv the printed reports and records of that company, showing Tye, Peeples & Tye, as Division Coun- s;lat this point, and including Miaongitsregularcounse^he now, one ot the regular attor neys of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.
