Sow Clover Seed on Your fall Sown Wheat and Oat Crops. The best time for seeding red clover in in the spring, and it can be sown to excellent advan tage either by itself or on fall sown grain the end of February or during March. Very satis factory stands are obtained by sowing clover seed on wheat, oats or other grains which may have been sown in the fall, and then running a sharp-tooth har row crosswise over the field, so as to give the seed a slight cover* ing. Running the harrow over it does not injure the grain crop, but increases the yield, really acting as a cultivation to the crop. Clover seed requires a good, firm seed bed, and sowing in this way, it is sown under ideal conditions for securing 8 ofood stand. All throughout the West it is the regular custom to sow clover seed in the spring on practically all fall-sown wheat or othsr grain crops. Red Clover is considered as the standard forage and soil- im proving crop combined, and is more widely and generally used than any other crop for this pur pose. The quantity sown to the acre is usually ten to twelve pounds. It is an exceWent plan when seeding to also sow two or three pounds of alsike clover to the acre; and if it is desired to inoculate the soil for alfalfa is de sirable. Where these three clovers are sown in mixture, 8 lbs. of red clover, 3 lbs. of alsike clover and 3 ibs. of alfalfa is the quantity usually sown to the acre! The advantages of sowing alsike clover are more on the Jines of crop insurance than oth erwise, as alsike clover is surer to give a stand, and also stands more adverse conditions of dry or cold weather than other clo vers. The sewing of alfalfa with both clovers and grasses is likely to increase the yield considerably and the sowing of alfalfa in mix- 1 tures with other grasses and clo- j vers is one of the best ways of testing as to whether it is adapt ed to your land, and also of 1 thoroughly inoculating your land, in case it is desired to put the land down to a pure alfalfa crop 1 afterwards,—Wood's Crop Spe- 1 cial.

Four Murderers at State's Prison With Dates of Execution Near. News and Observer: In the "death row" at the State's Prison 4 prisoners senten ced to die in the electric chair are waiting with hopes that Gov ernor Craig will intervene and save them from paying the penalty for their crimes, Three are sentenced to die in February and the other to die in March. The death prisoners now in the prison are Walter Shelton, a young white man, sentenced to die on the morning of February 27; R. W. Cobb, also white, whose dßteef paying the penalty is February 13; W. L. Newsoms, negro sentenced to die on Feb ruary 6; and Bert Lenz, negro, who is sentenced to die on i March 14. Newsoms and Lentz have taken an appeal to the Supreme Court for a new trial, and that tribunal will pass upon their case before their last chance is gone. Shelton and Cobb have been given reprieves and their only chance of escaping the elec tric chair is with Governor Craig It is not thought that the Gov ernor will interfere with their present dates of electrocution. The history of Shelton's case is by his time far from being new. He is a young man who on the night of March 23 shot and killed his wife at their home Reidsville, Rockingham county. He was tried in the superior Court, found guilty by a jury of his peers, and subsequently sen tenced to die on November 28. Governor Craig moved up his date of death until the Supreme Court passed upon the case, which it did, and confirmed the verdict of the lower court, and then February 27 was named as the date of his death. Cobb was sentenced by the Superior Court and that court's decision affirmed by the Supreme Court for the murder and rob bery of an aged storekeeper near Weldon. The evidence given at the trial was to the effect that the storekeeper was killed after he had closed his store at the end of a good day's business and while he was on his way from the store to his home, a short distance away. Very little is known at the prison regarding the crimes for which Newsoms and Lentz are to pay the death penary. New soms comes from' Henderson ville and Lentz from Greene county.
