Winter Legumes.
By 0. L. JOHNSON
County Demonstration Agent.
Farmers of Mitchell county are
grasping the idea that they should
allow the soil to loaf during the
ter months. Winter pastures
beep solved by those who desire
tures at that season of the year.
the idea is dawning very rapidly
fields not used for pasture should
seeded to some crop the yield of
should be converted into soil
Everyone will concede that
answer this purpose.
Much is being said and written
about a great number of winter leg¬
umes, this one is good and that one is
better in some respects, but our ex¬
periment stations have tried them all
out and at present they recommend
only hairy vetch and Austrian field
peas for South Georgia. It has been
shown that beyond every shadow of
a doubt these two are very profitable
when grown under proper conditions
and care. They must be
seeded at the right time and given a
chance to produce a vigorous growth
early in the spring, otherwise the good
they will do will not be worth the ex¬
pense.
Hairy vetch and Austrian field peas
should be planted by the last of Sep¬
tember or the first few days of Octo¬
ber. If planted later they are subject
to be killed by cold and they will be
so late in the spring producing any
beneficial growth that will not be out
of the way for other crops to follow.
The late planting will be an expense
and no return. This is an instance
where you must l>e on time or not at
all.
For a farmer who has never grown
these crops before, it is thought best
for him not to plant them too exten¬
sively the first season. For a man
with a two-horse farm it would seem
test for his to plant more than five
acres the first year, and two acres
would teach him all the peculiarities
of the crop.
Vetch can be planted in rows in
the center of cotton middles without
further preparation of the soil. Only
soil phosphate Is necessary to be added
at the time of planting and cultiva¬
tion is uncalled for. The old cotton
stalks furnish support for vetch and
results in better growth. The ex¬
pense at planting is about 26 pounds
of seed per acre at 11 cents per pound.
400 pounds phosphate and inoculation
costs about 60 cents.
The idea of growing vetch and Aus
train peas is taking like wild fire all
over the South. The seedmen are
swamped with orders, and farmers
who want to plant the crop must get
busy. The present supply of seed is
likely to be exhausted. See the coun¬
ty agent and place your order at once.
MARKETING.
Marketing is that part of the farm¬
er's proposition that he knows little
about. The average farmer spends
little time studying the “who, what,
where, why and how” of the markets.
True, the farmer must study produc¬
tion, but he should spend a little time

i Christian Religion
Recognized As Being
Fundamental Law
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The Christian
religion is recognized as fundamental
in the organic law of the land in an
opinion by Justice Brewer, of the Uni¬
ted States supreme court, handed
down in 1892 in the case of the
Chu.ch of the Holy Trinity vs. United
States.
This record was called to the at¬
tention of Governor Austin Peay by
a well known Tennessee jurist in
view of the fact that the Tennessee
Governor signing the bill which bars
the teaching of the theory of evo¬
lution in the public schools of the
state and since its adoption had main¬
tained his fundamental attitude on
religion, in the fight to have the law
declared constitutional.
This case was on appeal from New
York state. The church made a con¬
tract in September, 1887, with an
alien residing in England, by which
the preacher was to remove to New
York City and enter into the service
of the religious organization as rec¬
tor. It was then claimed that this
contract was forbidden by chapter
16223 Stat at L. 332 and action was
commenced to recover the penalty
prescribed in the Act of Congress.
The statute prohibited the importation
of aliens to the United States to per¬
form any labor or service. The cir¬
cuit court held that the contract was
within the prohibition of this statute
and rendered judgment accordingly
and the question presented for deter¬
mination before the United States
Court was whether the lower court
had erred in that conclusion.
The highest tribunal in the land
ruled that constitution invoked in
this case would not be held as correct
and reserved the judgment for furth¬
er proceedings.
Of a most interesting nature in
view of the Dayton evolution trial and
the pronounced stand for fundamen¬
talism taken by William Jennings
Bryan and Governor Peay as opposed
to the literal views on interpretation
of the Bible upheld by Clarence Har¬
row, scientists and others are the ci¬
tations from constitutions of various
states and the Constitution of the
United States quoted by the Justice
of the Supreme Court.
The opinion said:
“We find, therefore, that the title
of the Act, the evil of which was
intended to be remedied, the circum¬
stances surrounding the appeal to
Congress, the reports of the commit¬
tee of each House, all concur in affirm¬
ing that the intent of Congress was
simply to stay the influx of this cheap
unskilled labor (refering to the Act
in question.)
“But beyond all these matters no
purpose of action against religion
can be imputed to any legislation,
state or nation, because this is a re¬
ligious people. This is historically
true. From discovery of this conti¬
nent to the present house there is a
single voice making this affirmation.”
The opinion pointed to Christopher
Columbus prior to his sailing west¬
ward, obtaining a commission from
‘Ferdinand and Isabella, by the grace
of God, King and Queen of Castile,”
and reciting that “it is hoped that by
God’s assistance some of the conti¬
nents and islands in the ocean will be
discovered, etc,”
Justice Brewer went further and
traced other “by the Grace of God”
documents beginning with the first
Colonial Land Grant.
Articles 2 and 3 of the Constitu¬
tion of Massachusetts were quoted as
follows in the opinion:
“To bear out the decision which
recognized the Christian religion in
this county it is the right as well as
the duty of all men in society, pub¬
licly and at stated seasons, to worship
the Supreme Being, the great Creator
and Preserver of the universe * * *As
the happiness of a people and the
good order and preservation of civil
government essentially depend upon
piety, religion and morality, and as
these cannot te generally diffused
through a community but by the in¬
stitution of the public worship of
God and of the public instructions in
piety religion and morality. There¬
fore to promote their happiness and
to secure the good order and preser¬
vation of their government, the peo¬
ple of this commonwealth have a right
to invest their Legislature with pow¬
er to authorize and require that the
Legislature shall from time to time
authorize and require the other bodies
politic or religious societies to make
suitable provision at their own ex¬
penses, for the institution of the pub¬
lic worship of God and for the sup¬
port and maintenance of public pro
testant teachers of piety, religion,
and morality in all cases where such
provision shall not te made voluntari¬
ly."
Sections 4 and 14 of Article 7 of
the Constitution of Mississippi fol¬
lowed:
“No person who denies the being of
God or a future state of rewards and
acquiring some of the simplest infor¬
mation on the selling and of the
game, or loss in said game.
Now te work of the county agent
includes marketing, that is helping
farmers to sell that which they have
for sale. In fact in Mitchell county
that seems to be his most important
task, although not so considered by
the Federal Department of Agricul¬
ture. If the greatest good is to te
obtained in this line it must follow
cooperation between the county agent
and farmers and among farmers
themselves. The county agent can
accomplish little without the help of
j others, for no individual can do very
| much while working alone.
Coperati° n is the thing we need to
stress. Let’s think of the honey bee.
One tee can do very little by himself,
starvation will overtake him. But ten
thousand together in a colony with a
queen tee for a leader and you have
an organization that will accomplish
something worth while. They unite
in their efforts and all work for the
same goal. One farmer can do very
little by working alone, but if the
farmers in this county would unite in
their efforts for the sale of their sur¬
plus farm products there would be a
strong organization in Mitchell coun
ty, and no one can safely predict the
improvement made.
The county agent can do little to
improve the present methods of sell¬
ing cotton, cotton seed, peanuts or
tobacco. But it is hoped that the sit¬
uation can be improved in selling poul¬
try, eggs, corn, sweet potatoes, etc.
The plan of improvement is coopera¬
tion. Eggs, for example, can be col¬
lected on certain days of the week at
Camilla, Pelham or other points,
graded, packed, shipped and sold to
the mutual benefit of every one par ¬
ticipating. The fellow who has only
five dozen for sale will get as much
per dozen as the fellow who has five
crates for sale. Another lesson from
the tee. r lf a bee brings in poisonous
honey, the cell containing that honey
is marked by being left open so that
no mistake Is made. In shipping eggs
on the above plan the same idea is
applied. Either keep out poor quali¬
ty eggs or indicate them by mark.
There is an organization in the Hope¬
ful community functioning in this
manner and is giving satisfaction to
all its members. They have been get¬
ting good prices all the year for their
eggs, why not the rest of the county
do likewise ? Let certain days be egg
days, other days for chickens, and
still others for corn, or potatoes,
syrup, etc.
To accomplishment we must have
an organization. There are at pres¬
ent organizations to handle some of
these products, others are not taken
care of. Why not one organization
function for the entire list? Sugges¬
tions along this line will be welcomed.
Let it te understood that the county
agent is not going to handle any
funds from these sales. Cooperation
is the thing sought for.
Anyone desiring the names of re¬
liable dealers in poultry or eggs in
Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, or West
Palm Beach can get same from the
office of the county agent.
4-H. CLUB A NATIONAL FORCE.
There are more than half a million
boys and girls between the ages of ten
and twenty in 4-H Club work. They
are meeting in local clubs in every
section of the country, and are learn¬
ing the best methods of farm and
home making through projects in agri¬
culture and home economics.
Pushing toward the goal of their
fourfold development of the head,
heart, hand and health, noticeable im¬
provements are being made in Amer¬
ican rural life.
Trains Stop As
Operator Falls
Dead At Labors
PITTSBURG.—Facing death from
a sudden illness early today, Kava
nagh Jacobs, night telegraph opera¬
te)- for the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
railroads, at Nonongahela, near here,
threw on the red signals, stopping all
trains a few minutes before he fell
across his key dead from an attack
of acute indigestion. Trains on the
division were halted for more than an
hour until another operator could te
sent to man the wire.
Jacobs’ body was found at his desk
by police, who went to the station in
response to an appeal from division¬
al headquarters of the railroad to in¬
vestigate the failure of the operator
to answer his call.”
Earlier in the night Jacobs had
summoned a physician but had de¬
clined to leave his post.

afternoon. Friday night, a Japanese
lantern reception will take place on
Tallulah camp site, which is now the
possession of the association and
which will te turned over to the as¬

reception.
FIRST RAIN IN A
YEAR AND A HALF
GEORGIA KNOWS NOTHING OF
DROUGHT. SO WHY BEEF
ABOUT DRY SPELL?
ATLANTA.—Don’t “beef” about
the drought; look how long they last
down in New Mexico.
No need for Georgia people to com¬
plain about the length of the drought
Up to a few weeks ago it had not
rained for a year and a half in New
Mexico.
Herman Baser, junior in the Uni¬
versity of Illinois, hiking through At¬
lanta, got drenched there recently by
the first rain that had fallen in a year
and half.
The hiker started from Chicago on
June 17th, and made a loop down by
Santa Fe, went north to Denver, then
to Minneapolis and back to the “Win¬
dy City” once more. He then made
a jaunt to Cincinnati. From there
he came to Nashville, Chattanooga
and Atlanta. Before the summer is
over Baser expects to reach Wash¬
ington and Neyr York.
Baser is a clean cut fellow, fresh
looking despite the dusty roads he has
visited.
Report Slavery
Openly Practiced
By Mohammedans
GENEVA.—Slavery is openly prac¬
ticed in several Asiatic Mohammedan
states, particularly in the Arabian
peninsula, including the kingdom of
the Hedjaz, here many slaves are
girls who came from the Far East as
pilgrims to Mecca, says a report by
punishments, should hold any office
in the civil department of this state* *
“Religion, morality and knowledge
being necessary to good government,
the preservation of liberty, and the
happiness of mankind, schools and
the means of education shall forever
te encouraged to his state.”
The option continued:
“Even the Contstitution of the
United States, which is supposed to
have little touch upon the private
life of the individual contains in the
first amendment a declaration com¬
mon to the constitution of all the
state as follows: “Congress shall
make no law respecting the establish¬
ment of religion, or prohibiting the
exercise thereof, etc. And also pro¬
vides in Article 1 Section 7 (a pro¬
vision common to many constitutions),
that the Executive shall have ten
days (Sundays excepted) within which
to determine whether he will approve
or veto a bill.
the Slavery Commission of the Lea¬
gue of Nations published today.
The commission recommends uni¬
versal abolition of the legal status of
slavery, and would give every slave
the right to freedom without payment
of money. It suggests the establish¬
ment of a concentration point to
which freed slaves may te sent pend¬
ing their return to the country of
their origin and also recommends the
extension of the right to purs'ue slave
dealers.
In order to end the abuses that
tend to make forced labor virtually
a disguised form of slavery, the
League of Nations’ commission sug¬
gests the prohibition of compusory
labor except for public works, for
which there must be adequate pay.
The report insists the important
thing is to eliminate servility among
backward races by education.
