Your veteb seed are in Tucker’s
Warehouse at liJe a pound, which price
includes (lie inoculation. (Jet any
amount of the seed you want, from 25
pounds up to a lon at Ihe same price.
Any one can get them, no matter
whether they have placed their order
or not.
In sowing vetch seed remember the
following tilings:
(1) They must in* inoculated. Inoc
ulate tint seed just lief ore you sow
them. The inoculation contains living
iliapterla, which are easily killed by
light, therefore allow as little light to
hit final! as possible, by covering as
soon as possible after they are sown.
Where they are sowed broadcast sow
for only a few minutes ahead of the
ploy or harrow that covers them.
(2) Sow when there is a season in
the ground When possible. Also it is
better when* possible to sow in the
latter part of the day, or on a cloudy
day, tills will help give you a better
‘‘eatolf’ of your inoculation. Most fail
ures are caused from poor or no Inoc
ulation, but if you do these simple
tilings your inoculation should in' suc
cessful.
(.'!). Inoculat ion •is very easy —just
wi t the seed with a lit Me sugar sweet
eneil water, and I hen sprinkle the inoc
ulation <ivi‘i' (lie sets! and stir it in
among tin* wet seed. A wash tub is
line for this work.
(It. Sow at least 20 punuls per
acre. 25 ltotinds per aere wlvera broad
east.
(5). Fertilize with 200 pounds of
acid presphate, or 200 pounds of basic
slag per acre.
((!). Vt't 'h should lie sowed in Sep
tember, or first half of October for
Iks! growth.
A good place is in cotton middles,
Hiehinil cotton pickers. I’roadcast and
cover with scrapes or spring tooth har
row as you would cultivate cotton.
If you follow these simple rules you
should have success with vetch, the
first year on any of your ground that
is worth cultivating.
Have you seen the Railroad demon
stration at McDaniel’s Crossing,
where on land that lias had tthe soil re
moved tin' corn is more than twice as
good where vetch was sowed. The poor
corn in the mlddc of the field is where
no vetch was sown —the poor corn a
hundred fis't or more from this {toot*
spot in the middle of the field is where
vetch mid winter peas were sown
without acid phosphate. All the good
corn in the field is where vetch or ix><as
were sowed and fertilized with acid

It is time now to plan crops for
next year. Be sure to grow plenty of
feed and food on your own farm. Re
member that early October is the best
time to sow oats and Alfalfa. This in
creases the yield and makes winter
killing less likely to injure these crops.
As I hope most of you know by now,
my first, desire in helping Hie farmers
is to be as practical and serviceable as
possible, and only advocate practices
that are known to be profitable under
our conditions. A hundred farmers
have told me that I have helped them.
Thanks. I shall try harder to help you
more. I do so much want to do so, and
wish to remind the farmers all my time
belongs to you and your interests 1 and
want every farmer to feel free to call
on me when you need me. Lot’s grow
and grow, and grow.
Yours for safer and more profitable
ngirieulture in Rockdale.

close, intimate relation
ship of town and country has
never before been so fully recog- -
nized. Their complete interdepend
ence has been most strikingly
demonstrated as the flow of industry toward the smaller
towns brings immediate quickening of rural prosperity.
This new industrial trend toward less congested
areas was made possible by the ever-widening distri
bution of dependable power.
Payrolls, circulating through the channels of
trade, have created new markets for the products of
the soil. The taxable values they brought have low
ered the tax burden on other citizens.
Thus the coming of dependable power hastens
the coming of prosperity both to business and agri
culture.
