V?AXT ?.KCjUME CHOPS
of the most " often repeated
Kims of Ute agricultural experts of

Talking about thc usc of legumes,
tbe Progressive Farmer says:
"Thia ls u year when every acre
possible should be planted to a soil
bullditiK crop of some kind. Feeds
are high prieed and KO are fertilizers,
and the man who grown these instead
of buying them will be luying the
limiest kind of foundation for a fu
ture prosperity. *
"One of the marks of the success
ful farmer is the ability to produce
to the maximum possible cxtnet the
crops that feed the land; the marks
of the mortgage ?oviied farm ls gen
erally a ruinous adherence to a one
<rop system that forgets that fat
soils, fat stock and an ample living
for the family should be thc primury
considerations.
"Let's see where wc can use the
soil building crops to udvantuge:
FlrHt, there come thc oat and wheat
fields, where the crops will be har
vested in ay aud June. The man who
falls to have a crop of peas, beans or
clover ofter his crops of small grain
is simply neglecting the biggest
source of profit, for the feed and soil
fertility that come from such c.-ops
often mean more per acre than the
grain crop.
"Then not a single ?ere of corn
should be laid by without having peas
sown in the middle's, or In the south
ern part of the cotton belt velvet
benns may bc planted about the time
the corn ls planted, or just after. A
corn field without peas, beans or pea
nuts for soil bulldlnK and fall and
winter feed ls seldom returning more
than one-half the net profit that it
should.
"Then this fall, from seed saved
during the next two months, every
cotton middle should bc scded to
clover or vetch.
"Plant the legumes everywhere this
year. If you have the seed, BO much
tho better; but If necessary, buy
them, for you will find few invest
ments moro profitable. Then next
full, whether cotton bo low or high in
price, you will have materially cut
your fertilizer bill for the following i
year."

PAVING COMMISSION
IN LENGTHY SESSION
NUMBER OF MATTERS WITH
REFERENCE TO LEGAL
PHASES DISCUSSED
NOTHING DEFINITE
Wa? Taken With Regard to Pav
ing of Streets-Merely Lay
ing Legal Foundations.
Discussion of a largo number of
legal poluta pertaining to the street
paving, many of which were of a
technical nature and of little If any
interest to the general public, was
the principal and practically the only
feature of a two-hours session of the
cireet paving commission, held last
night in the olhcc of chairman E. H.
Horton.
Acting Attorney for the Commission
ErneHt F. Cochran, and Resident En;
glnccr Wade A. Sanders had pre
viously held a conference and mapped
out a general linc of procedure Cor
the commls3lon to follow in carrying
on its work. These matters were pre
sented to tho commisslor by Attorney
Cochran, who discussed for the cn
llghtment of thc board the legal
phases of a number of questions that
the commission will be confronted
with from tim to time.
The commission took no definite
action in the matter of selecting any
particular streets foi? ' paving, hut
authorized the resident engineer to
prepare data on a batch of streets that
are likely to be paved. Possession of
theue data will enable the commlsaion
to proceed more promptly with the
letting of contracts for pavtfng when
petitions, properly executed, for the
paving of streets are considered.
Thc acting attorney called the at
tention of thc commission to thc nec
essity of having all petitions for
street paving presented in proper
shape, that is. filled with thc city
clerk legally signed. Husbands can
not sign for wives and vice versa, and
agents of ocrporatlons cannot sign
thc petitions unless they are author
ized to do BO by the proper authori
ties.
The commission also discussed va
rious phases of tho paving certificate
proposition, considering plans where
by thc payments for paving will be
made easier for the abutting proper
ty owners.
The sense of the commission is that
actual work on thc street paving will
be gotten under way as quickly as
possible, yet every step taken by the
hoard will be carefully thought out
before hand and assurance had that
everything done is done strictly ac
cording to law.
The commission proposes to hold
another meeting in the near future,
when the matter of selecting particu
lar Btrents to?' paving will bc taken up
and decisions made. Aa yet tho com
mission ha>)> not gone over any of
the petition-, for street paving pre
sented, and have not made any de
cisions as to what streets will bc
paved, except in a general way. As
stated, already, they authorized the
j resident engineer to compplle data
with reference to a whole batch of
streets, so that in case it ls decided
to pave any particular streets out ot
that general list tho necessary infor
mation will be in hand for facilitating
tho letting of contracts.
