J. A. Catcs was In from near Mt.

said tho drought had cut down his
corn crop considerably but that ho
will havo enough left to livo on for
awhllo yet.
As art Illustration of how to mako
money on 'cl6ver he said hb hod just
hulled 121 bushels -of clover seed
from 25 acres of his farm worth
?0G8. In tho spring ho first cut tho
clover from this field nnd It made 30
tons worth $1'G a ton or 4fc0 for
tho first crop. Then tho seed yield
ed $908 with the tailing of G tons
worth $10 a ton or $00, a total of
$ 1 .COS from the 2R acros In ono sea
son, After deducting rent and ex
penses thcro is still n good profit.
Mr. Catcs says clover must bo
handled Intelligently. Tho first cut
ting must be oxnetly at tho tlmo when
tho second shoota aro starting and
not a wcok Inter as that would cut off
tho now growing seeds. Then It must
bo carefully threshed In his caso
