Hastey, at Chipley, Harris county, ius the scene of some trail blaring a few weeks ago when farmer®, county agents, bankers and business men from all portions of Geordi i gath ered to inspect an outstanding ex ample of soil-improvement. They came, they saw and went «wsy con vinced. “The Hastey farm is typical of thousands of others in Georgia. Six years ago it was an ordinary run down cotton farm, having its share of gulleys and bare spots. Parts of the farm are still pour no better and. no worse than thousands of oth ers in the state. But a considerable portion of the farm has been mad? rich by growing crimson clover and vetch as winter cover crops. “Aabout six years ago Mr. Hastey, who farms on an extensive scale, be gan his campaign of soil imoro’ Ce ment. The State College of Agri culture was instrumental in arous ing Mr. Hastey’s interest in trying out crimson clover and hairy vetch The results have more than exceed ed his expectations. Now his farm is pointed to as model. He is a pi oneer and a trail blazer in soil im provement, just as E/ans Luns ford Is in pasture building. “On the part of his farm where clover and vetch have been planted for a few years Mr. Hastey has some wonderfully fine crops grow ing. He has cotton that looks good for a bale to the acre. His corn, without any fertilizer whatsoever, is as good as can be found any where. The corn was planted after clover and vetch, and is much bet ter than that on an adjoining farm where nitrate of soda war used. “Not only has Mr. Hastey improv ed his soil but he has done it in tn Jecoonoinical way. He has done nothing that other farmers of Geor gia cannot do. He followed a cam paign as outlined by the college au thorities. Now his success is be ing studied by farmers, county agents and business mar:.’’ The Chipley meeting was attend ed by people as far away as one hun dred and fifty miles.

L ague of Nations officials un derstand that the United States federal government and the state governm'ents have perfectly well in hand the manufacture of narcotic drugs, but that what the United States apprehends is the smuggling of habit-forming drugs into Ameri ■an ports. Hence it is believed that he American delegation will strive for an international system of con trol which will be watertight, and which will prevent the throwing on to the world market of a quantity of alkaloids in excess of medical and scientific requirements. A criticism, of the draft convention is that it provides no system whereby countries which seize opium or nar cotic drugs should make an account BAGS W e have a new line of up-to-date Leather Bags. i It will pay you to see our line before buying.
