“The Test of Honor"
A Paramount Picture
The wife had used all the wiles of her beautiful, dazzling personality to
make this mail love her and then—
When this man struck down her husband and he died because of the
wife’s neglect—
Hhe denied the man she professed to love and saw him sent to jail,
found guilty of a crime of which he was guiltless.
Did he forgive? Could he forgive? Who welcomed him when the iron
doors swung - open? The woman who betrayed him?
You never know just what is going to happen until the last foot of the
picture has passed. Come to see it!

I, VALUE OF ALFALFA IS

County Demonstration Agen^
Luck Wriees Interesing Let¬
ter to the Farmers of
Newton County
! | With timothy hay selling at
I $50 per ton and good many
our farmers having to buy hay,
it can readily be seen that we
need to grow more hay ourselves.
The average farmer can’t afford
to pay such prices for his hay
and even if he could, he should
not for he can raise it cheaper.
We have got to raise more feed
for our stock if we are going to
make anything out of our farms.
There are several good hay
crops, such as pea hay, clover, Lv.’
millet, .... grass and j alfalfa.
besi nay ciop tha L can be grovvn
is alfalfa. It is not only the
richest hay on the market, but
it will outyieid any other crop
that can be grown. You can
easily get three cuttings a year
that will yield a ton to the acre
on medium land. It also can be
used as a grazing crop and when
hogs can run on it. You can fat¬
ten your hogs with,a third less
corn and they will outgrow and
make larger hogs than those that
are fed slop and ct>vn in a pen.
Alfalfa hay is fine feed for any
young stock as it furnishes the
food to make bone and muscle
for the young stock. Alfalfa hay
is the best hay you can feed your
milk cow and will increase the
amount of milk given more than
any other feed that can be grown
Alfalfa is one of the best crops
for building up the soil we have,
for it gathers its own nitrogen
from the air and stores it in the
soil. Its roots penetrate deep in
the soil, loosen it up and adds
vegetable matter to it. A crop
of corn, cotton or wheat grown
on land that has been sown in
Alfalfa for three or four years,
will double in its yield per acre. for
Now is the time to prepare
putting in some alfalfa. Land
that has wheat, or oats on it now
should, as soon after the grain
is gathered, be sown to peas as
alfalfa does better after peas
than any other crop. This crop
of peas should be turned under
if you can possibly afford to. If
cut for hay you should arrange
to put all of the manure on the
land you can. You should ar
range to put at least four tons of
ground brimstone per acre on the
land and about 300 pounds of acid
phosphate, depending on the fer¬
tility of the land. Keep land
clean until you get a good season
in September and then plant.
The alfalfa should be at least
eight inches high when cold
weather sets in.
Alfalfa is a crop that requires
thought, preparation, clean seed
bed. medium to good land that is
well drained, lime, but it is also
a cron that will pay you better
than any other crop if you give
it its requirement. should have at
Every farm that
least one acre and those
have tried it says that their one
acre of alfalfa pays them better
than any other acre they have.
I will be glad to talk this over
with any one that are interested.
