j You lid guilty bn ten , out ol 11
counts.by a jury in the United

pass sentence on Foote Thursday

The convicted attorney is known

years be has practiced his scheme

he has swindled victims in 'nearly
every state of the union., Repre

Foote is said to have hunted up
persons, of Indian blood and in
formed them that he was delega

Each claimant was required to
pay to Foote a fee of $23, which

Ten years and ten days in - the
United States penitentiary was the
sentence meted out Thursday
morning to R. R. Foot, whose-lea
lures have often been mistaken
for those of William J. Bryan, and
who was convicted irr the Federal
court Wednesday afternoon of
having defrauded people all over

irieut agent. Immediately upon
receiving his sentence, Foote was
taken to the federal prison, nea
Atlanta,
According to the testimm y in
the case, Foot has been practicing
for the past four years one of the
shrewdest and most gigantic grafts
that American ingenuity has yet
devised. He’claimed that lie Was

Alfalfa-The Greatest Forage
Plant.
(The Southern Fruit Grower.)
Alfalfa is ! the most valuable for
ags plant known to the agricultu
ral world* on account of ; its high
percentage in protein, which makes
it a balance ration in itself. Ds
prolific production 1 , its ability to
fertilize the soil, with the nitroge
nous elements of the atmosphere
its adaptability to all climates,-and
its longevity of life, A s proven by
chemical analysis and practical
I practice*, one ton ofi Alfalfa, as fed
for stock, ■ is worth two tons of
timothy; two tons of alfalfa is
worth three tons of clover. Where
| the land is naturally adapted to its
growth, and the rainfall is as great
as in* Mississippi, -soil that will
produce two ; tons 1 oU clover, one
; and one half tons cf timothy, will
produce from fouT tons of
; alfalfa.* The commercial value of
alfalfa hay ranks first, selling for
more money in all markets where
it has been introduced, than timo
thy or clover. My entire crop for
this season was sold to. one firm
early in the spring, on future de
livery, at $17,00 per ton, f. o. b.
West Loijit, they to take all grades
of bay. Hp to July 1, I had saved
i three cuttings, making three tons
per acre; the crops for July and
August had been very short on
account of the extreme dry weath
er. I will get one ton more
through the months of September
and October, giving lour tons for
the season,.which.* is one ton less
than an average crop. The value
of-alfalfa as aU'ertilizer is* wonder
ful, Land on my farm, where a1 -
; falfa has grown for three years, has
increased the yield of corn from
foity to seventy-five, and as high
.as • eighty bushels per acre. Its
effect on cotton land is equally as
good. The commercial value of
nitrogen, phosphorus and ‘ potash
contained in one ton of well pre
served stable manure is worth
$3.50. The commercial value of
these elements contained in one
ton ot alfalfa hay is $9.40. So if
in growing’ alfalfa for hay, you
should have dome of it injured by
the rain, it is w’orth fo you as a
fertilizer, no matter what crop you
tare growing, $9.40. If you wish
*to grow an orchard, and your land
is naturally adapted to grow alfalfa
*the best way to secure quick
growth, large and healthy trees, is
jby first Sowing alfalfa, let it rt
main for two years, save the hay;
in the fall of the second year, plow
it se\eral inches deep, he sure to
destroy the alfalfa, old alfalfa plant
will kill young fruit tree* 1 . Plant
your trees, you will find the result
will pay you tor the troub e. The
alfalfa roots will open up the soil
.Several feet deep, will give it good
sub-drainage, and leave the land
abundantly supplied with nitro
gen. .. ;
i In seeming a stand of alfalfa,
s’ou will find the best plan to sow
early, in March, break the soildeep,
liariow until you haven fine Seed
bed, sow Unity pounds of seed
per acre. Use the Ingate wagon
seeder; get one highly geared; the
seed are heavy and man be sown
with this machine during the windy
days in *iMarch. It will sow from
thirty to forty acres per day. Be
Mire and harrow the land just be
fore seed ng. Then : be sine t
ha now it well after seeding. Whi-,
will cover the seed. They vvil
come through one inch of soil, if
the seed are not well covered, > and
it should, rain bright after seeding
then a dry windy day, the seed on
top will not catch and your stand
will be poor. gra. sand weeds w:l
get possession; what you have will
die, and you pwill pronounce it u
failure. Be sure and sow enougi
seed so they will give alfalfa pos
session of the land from the start.
It will grow fast and choke 01*
gras3 and v. e ds, until hj
cut it the first time, which will b
some-timo’in July. ’As soon as iU
is cut, -harrow thoroughly with 1
iron tooth harrow, set the teeil.

grow, especially ■ where.,
post oak or Bandy land?, the
will kill the alfalfa. If you caft'j
get your alfalfa through the first;
year, crab grass will not. affect it
the second. You will *fincl to eul

Renovator, made by the Kmeison
Manufacturing Cos,, Rock ford, 111.,,
will pay you for expense and labor t
It takes the. place of tjie disc har
row, and will not cut up the plants.
It is a good renovator? for plowed
lands and will pay any farmer to
use one. Soils naturally adapted
| to alfalta are abundantly supplied
with alkali. Soil that has enough
acid in it during any:season of the
year to? turn blue litmus paper
pink in thirty six hours ‘Will not
I grow alfalfa, until you put enough
| lime or other'alkalies on : -the soil
|to neutralize the acid. The, acid
destroys the bacteria necessary to
the life of the •plant. ; • t
The black prairie regions of Illi
nois, the best corn land in the
world, a*re low in . alkali. At the
; Illinois Experiment Station, ij was
found that to grow tfffalfa success
fully on this prairie haul, it re
quired three tons of ground lime
stone per acre to neutralize the
acid and it is necessary to make
this application every two or thre
ypars. Before planting alfalfa
•test your soil, during a rainy sea
son in warm weather*or take the
dry soil, mix it with water into a
thin mud, let it remain in this con
dition for two days, then put a
piece of blue litmus paper in it;
let it remain far thirty-six hours.
k lf it turns pink, there is no use to
sowt alfalfa* until you have applied
■ enough alkali . to neutralize the
•acid. If the.-paper holds its color
your land will grow it successfully.
ilf the land is low in nitrogen, give
it a good application of stable ma
nure, this will give the plants a
thrifty growth- for the first year.
After that it will take care of it
self. Prairie lands in Mast Miss
issippi are naturally- supplied with
alfalfa bacteria, it was not nerg--
: sary lor me to inoculate. If your
lands are void of this gnrin, tiseTi
-soii from an old alfaifaifield to in
■ oeqlate with. Mhe government and
k-firras which grov bacteria for
’•market send you perfect materia 1 ,
with directions how to use but im
! less yon- are. ui ehemis-t, skilled in
• handling material of tins kind, the
results will not he satisfactory.
One hundred pounds of inoculated
.soil horn an old field of alfalfa can
he had for the expense of packing
and transportation. , This amout
•of soil, well spread over one acre
will inoculate it thoroughly. With
lone-acre cf. inoculated soil you can
furnish bacteria tor your neigh,
borhood. When your alfalfa field
is used for meadow, ii should never
be pastured, as the stock will tramp
the ground, intake the ground hard
stunt the growth and injure th
stand Asa meadow, it means
six months hard work. After the
first freeze, you can lock your gates
and rest until it conies the begin*
ning of spring, (hit it when the
bloom gives the field a blue cast;
it will cure rn less time than red
clover as the foliage an 1 stems am*
not so large and full of sap. If
you want it for pasture, it, wil
. V.e 3 r ou more feed the year round
thaft'any other grass, and keep
your slock in fine condition. From
my five years experience, r< salt
verm it my advising all farmer
where the land is well dmined an i
