over Crop Pays Two Ways.
Vhat is a cover crop ? A cover
ip is a crop of grass that will
>w during the late fall, win
and early spring, and cover
1 land and keep the rains from
shing the soil and leaching of
* same, and exhausting the
nt food contained in the soil,
cover crop is a good thing,
1 will pay as a protection to
land.
lowever, a good cover crop
1 pay well as a pasturage
iss and serve two purposes. I
•’e been urging the farmers to
^ weH after their grass and
7 croPs this year. You may
done so. If so you are for
iate, for hay goes a long way
feed, and feed is going to be
k Arkansas prairie hay is
ked on the market now at
1 per ton; Oklahoma prairie
f a* $17; alfalfa at $19 and
eat bran and corn chops at
m $29 to $33 per ton. So the
r crop has been and is an im
“tant one in Arkansas. I hope
1 farmers of Arkansas have
^ g°°d hay crops and will
have feed for their stock. It i>
ceitainly hard on a cotton raiser
to have to give up part of the
money made in raising cotton
for hay and stock food, because
he will be paying more than it
will cost him to raise it, But
cotton has a hold on the people
and it is hard to break it loose
As to the cover crop, it will be
i needed for the stock this winter.
There are several good cover
I crops. Bur clover is one of
the best. It mixes well with Ber
1 muda, and will d>e out in the
spring about the time the latter
comes out strong, thus making
I by this combination almost con
tinuous pasture. Crimson clover
land vetch are fine The latter
! makes a better cover crop and
the former makes a better wint
! er pasture. * Rape makes a good
winter pasture for hogs, but it
is not a legume and does not
store nitrogen like the others
Let me urge you to try some of
: these winter cover crops, and
1 give the hogs, cattle and other
| live stock the benefit. Good pas
; fnnAfi nmnc ■pAvaorA rl
| 1/Wi.VUJ -- I 7 -
i live stock will pay far better
I than raising cotton or any other
j staple crop, and will in addition
i%uild up the soil on the farm
and make good farms out of bad
ones. You can plant rye, bur
clover or vetch between the cot
ton rows and make a good wint
er pasture and cover crop. Of
course it is better to properly
prepare a seed bed and sow it in
the open, and would give you
better results.
I hope the Arkansas farmers
will give attention to alfalfa this
season. It will grow in almost
any of the soils we have. Pre
pare the land well and sow plen
ty of seed. Alfalfa will pro
duce better results than any
other crop we can grow in the
state. I hope you will make an
extra effort to get a start, it it
is not more than an acre.
Begin early this fall to pre
pare for next year’s crops. Get
i your land in shape to break this
| fall, and when you break your
land, try plowing it about two
inches deeper than it was plow
ed last year. It will make a
I good bed for holding moisture
next year.

Swifton Still I'ndefeated.
Special to Independent
Swifton, Sept. 1.—Swifton has
been for the past week the cen
ter of some very exciting and
: classy games in which the home
I team returned victorious in all.
The first game of the week
was played last Wednesday be
tween Eight Mile and Swifton in
which Swifton won 9 to 0.
Only one Eight Mile player
reached second base and that in
|first inning. They came up mi
nus the services of their indom
itable leader, Sharkey, which we
suppose accounts for such an
easy triumph for the home team.
We feel sorry that they prov
ed such a disappointment for it j
completely ruined Tuckerman's j
hopes of finding a Jackson coun- j
ty team to beat us.
Batteries for Eight Mile,;
Nance and Wagner.
Batteries for Swifton, Adams ;
and Johnson.
The feature of Thursday’s l
game was Auvergne batting for
the one score which they finally :
j succeeded in making in the 4th j
inning. Swifton never had to
extend themselves in this game ,
as it was a walkover for the boys.;
Warner, our invincible twirler,
had the Auvergne boys complete
ly at his mercy at all times, j
Batteries for Auvergne, May and j
Warner; For Swifton, Warner
and Johnson.
The lasfegame of the week was j
played Friday between Cash and i
Swifton in which the Swifton
team extended to their utmost j
all playing powers in subduing |
the Craighead Co. boys by scoie •
8 to 6. Swifton was represented
on the mound by Adams, who
won his ‘second game of this
week and Cash by their terrific
portsider Schultz, who pitched
brilliant ball. Cash started the
scoring in their half of the third
by scoring 2 runs and Swifton
! came back in full blast in then
half by making 5- This took the
, edge off of some of the Cash sup
porters. Swifton scored another
in the 4th. Cash came back in
i tbe 5th bv making 4 and tieing
the score.' This ended their scor
ing in this game as Adams
i pitched airtight ball thereafter.
Swifton won the game in the
eighth when with the bases full
Jones scored on a wrild pitch anc
j Adams scored a fewr minutes la
ter when Ring failed to get a
j iong fly to center field. This ends
j the season for Swifton, being un
! defeated this season and the
champions of this end of the
state.

Girl’s Definition of Good Taste.

his niece Beth, who went to Boston
to get culture. Beth was 18 years
old. and after a visit at the art gallery,
made this remark: “Well, of course
I don’t know anything about critics,
but I know what I’d like. I’d like a
critic who would tell me which the
