Wiley Merrett, Jr. * Good Service BEST TIME TO SOW ALFALFA When Done in Spring There Is Dan ger of Weeds Crowding It Out Before Well Established'. (By G. H. ALFORD.) The best time to sow alfalfa In the larger part of the south Is in the fall, say September. The main danger of sowing alfalfa In the spring Is that in some sections of crab grass and weeds crowding out the alfalfa before It becomes well established. The land should be very rich, thoroughly pulverized for several Inches deep, and well drained. Plow the land from 30 to 60 days before planting time. Allow the latd to set tle and then make a good seed bed with such Implements as disk har rows, Bection steel harrows or other champ pulverizing tools, one w< and extra good values which you receive froin us. There is really no use of hunting around for ANY BETTER. Come to us. You will certainly be de-lighted with the Braid flakes and continue to come and bring your friends. CITY BAKERY TELEPHONE NO. 173. SUCTION PICKERS FOR COTTON South Carolina Man Invents Appara tus In Which Vacuum Principle ! Is Used—Works Well. ^ ■' Apro, GEORGIA. Grady Couhty- Notice is hereby given that the undersigned has appeared before the Ordinary of said county for leave to sell land belonging to Misses Maud and Maggie May lei ‘ ■ '' ‘ Pickner, wards of signed, and said leave asked for, support and maintenance of said wards. Said applicatpn will be heard at the regular term of the Court of Ordinary for said county •to.be held on the first Mond.iy in W. A, Powell, Guardian, for Misses Maud gand Maggie May Pickner. Sow about 30 pounds of seed per acre and cover lightly. The main object is to get a very thick stand. The alfalfa may be mowed several times during the fall and winter to make it stool out. It is necessary to have a solid mat on the soli In the spring before the weeds and grass come up. Burr clover should also he sown lu S September. This clover will do well on nearly any rich, well drained land. The land should be well prepared and then seeded at the rate of 15 pounds per acre. Clean seed are preferable to seed in the burr. While alfalfa has never succeeded on other than lime land, burr clover does remarkably well on practically all the rich, well drained land in the south. It is generally necessary to Inoculate new soil. However, inocula tion Is not expensive and burr clover Is a plant that ought to be planted in millions of acres of corn and cotton in 1 September; and' at the last work ing. GO .3 {U( UIIK Flavor of Eggs; • urn The flavor of an egg may be changed by a change in feed. Few people take time to note that an egg has a distinc tive flavor. A South Carolina man has come, forward with an apparatus in which! the vacuum principle is adapted to cotton picking. The suction Is. caused by a hand-operated device, the ma chinery of which Is contained In a box which is strapped across the pick er’s shoulders and operated -by the turning of a crank, which is held in. a position convenient to the worker's Suction Cotton Picker. I ;s m 1 HH right hand. Below the box is a sack. and leading into this sack is a tube, with a receiving funnel, which is held 1 in the left hand. The picker walks : along the lanes of the cotton field, turning the hapdle that sets the' ma chinery lh operation and as he? ap; proaches the cotton bolls with the fun nel the fluffy growth is sucked off and drawn down into the bag. With this apparatus one man can pick as much, -cotton in a day as a score can pick
