CHIROPRACTIC FREES THE NERVES
You will agree that in cases of nervous disorders it is but logical
that all efforts should be directed to secure a proper coordination
of the nervous system. The Chiropractor knows that disease is due
to pressure upon nerves by misplaced spinal bones, and he removes
this pressure in a painless manner by adjusting the spinal bones
to their normal position.
In the case of nervous disorders spinal adjustments go directly to
the CAUSE of the trouble, and it is a rare case of this type indeed
which cannot be benefitted by Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments.

Lespedeza Seed
Saved Now Aid
To All Farmers
With little extra expense, enough
lespedeza seed can usually be saved
for farm use, County Agricultural
Agent M. L. Powell said this week.
The seed of the common, Kobe,
. .. rv n r
and Tennessee 76 varieties can be
harvested by cutting the plants when
the seeds are mature, with a regu
lar mowing machine and a lespedeza
seed pan attached to the cutter bar,
the county agent explained. He
said a good portion of the seed will
shatter and be caught in the seed
pan. Those remaining on the plants
can be saved by taking the plants
up while damp and threshing either
with a regular grain thresher or by
beating out with forks or sticks.
“A good amount of lespedeza
seed can be saved by collecting
shattered seed on a close floor fiom
plants cut late and stored for hay.
Seed can also be collected from hay
racks arranged so as to catch the
shattered seed.
“Korean lespedeza seed, however,
are not harvested with a seed pan.
The plants should be cut when the
seed are mature and threshed as
suggested for the other varieties.
The seed of all varieties can be har
vested with combines now on the
market and this is proving to be a
popular method of harvesting lespe
deza seed.’’
In using seed that have not been
cleaned, Mr. Powell said care should
be taken that troublesome weeds
are not spread to other fields. Seed
should not be used from areas in
fested with dodder unless the area
to be sown is to be grazed, he as
serted.
Theoretically, it is possible for a
pair of rats to have 359,709,482
descendants in three years.

Mowing Pasture
Insures Better
Summer Grazing
One of the most helpful pieces
of work that farmers can do this
year is to mow completely all of the
pasture acreage at least twice, in
the opinion of County Extension
Agent M. L. Powell.
The agent said that pastures now
in existence are of much better
quality than they were 10 years ago
but there is an enormous loss of
feed each year due to weed growth
that competes with the better pas
ture grasses and legumes.
“Weeds compete for space, plant
food and moisture, and in cases of
large weeds, they shade out the
smaller growing plants or reduce
their growth to the extent that little
grazing is provided. It is well to re
member that weeds are the greatest
enemies of the pasture and that the
establishment of a dense sod is the
best means of controlling them.
“After a pasture is established, a
definite plan for controlling weeds
should be worked out, and by all
means, put into effect. The weeds
should be cut in their most weak
ened condition which is usually at
blooming time. If cut just before
seeds form, the plants will be pre
vented from producing seed and will
be injured most from the mowing.
The roots of perennial seeds are
injured most when cut at blooming
time and also prevented from pro
ducing seed.”
Mr. Powetl pointed out that there
could be no set rule as to the num
ber of cuttings but, generally speak
ing, two to three complete mowings
are required for best control. If
three mowings are required the first
cutting possible should be made in
late May or early June, the second
during late July or early August and
the third in September. If only two
mowings are made, June and late
August will possibly be the best
dates. To be effective, the seeds
along the fence rows, ditch banks or
rough places must also be cut thor
oughly, he added.
The farm agent called attention
to the fact that the soil building
practice of the AAA number 12—
renovation of permanent pastures
infested with noxious weeds and
other competing plants or shrubs by
mowing—will help a great deal with
keeping weeds under control in pas
tures. The credit is 50 cents per
acre for two mowings provided spe
cifications are met. Benefit from
the mowings will exceed by far the
credit given but it should encour
age this important practice, he ex
plained.
