Liberal applications of ground: limestone will ; greatly! increase the yield of most of the legumes, and thus give a larger harvest of nitrogen arid furnish more organic matter to be turned under. ,' ; V " ' If every , farmer, could arrange his crop rotation so as to have a crop of some legume to plow under as often as once in four years it would greatly reduce the need of purchasing expen sive nitrogenous fertilizers, and also build up the soil productivity by im proving the physical condition of the soil. Plan to give it a trial in .1916. Fine Success With Soy Beans IT IS time now to seriously consider putting in a big: crop of legumes this season as a solution to the fertil izer problem. When considering the question, don't, overlook the soy bean. I may have something to say about' other beans and legumes before I bring this to a close, but I want to tell the readers of The "Progressive Farmer about how we have built up some of as poor, land as there is in Mississippi with soy beans. This par ticular piece of land has been in culti vation 25 years and had been cropped, in cotton till it would not make more than 200 pounds to the acre. In the spring of 1914 I bedded this piece of land, which' was a light sandy loam, with a one-horse plow;, about the middle of April I rebedded it and drilled about three pecks of beans tp the acre. Had pre viously drilled 100 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate to the acre. I secured a fine stand of beans and they grew surprisingly well to be on poor land. I cultivated as for cotton or peas, shallow and level. v' They grew to a height of three to five feet and made about a ton of good hay to the acre, better hay, in fact, than peavine hay. In the spring of 1915 I broke the same ground with a two-horse plow and got it in shape to be put in corn. I used no .fertilizer in 1915, but culti vated freely. The corn that followed soy beans prew off as well as that we us.ed barnyard manure under, and made a bumper crop for such land, every stalk making one or more ears. We gathered some 25 bushels of corn to the acre, compared to about 5 in 1913. We have another piece of land that was'in beans in 1915 that we shall make another cheap crop on this year. And we shall put plat number one back in beans this year and fol low it with a winter cover crop for our next year's corn crop. Of course we sow cowpeas in corn middles at laying by and they are good, but the beans are better in their place, as they do equally well as peas after oats or other winter-sowed crops. There is another thing I have not mentioned, and that is that the beans make an abundant crop of . seed, .which can be threshed . with any threshing machine and sold at a good price, or they may be left in the field and hogged off at a profit.

The state brought into court as the weapons used a rail, an ax, a pair of tongs, a saw and a rifle. The de fendant's counsel exhibited . as the other mart's weapons a scythe blade, a pitchfork, a pistol and a hoe. ; - . . . , The Jury's verdict is said to nave been.

(11) 323 Money Saved Is Money Earned THE Rumely GasPull tractor com mences to cut down farm costs the first day you put it on the pay roll. The "many job" tractor it has come to be called and it lives up to its name. Probably the first thing that will appeal to you in the GasPull is its light weight and extreme ease of handling. It weighs only 1 1,000 pounds and you can turn it on a 15-ft. circle. The con venience of levers, a safety cranking device arid dependable foot brake help make operating easy. f The GasPull is equipped with a smooth-running, powerful motor, all working parts are efficiently lubricated and My protected from dirt and the weather. The GasPull is as handy, powerful' arid efficient on the belt as at the draw-bar. It easilyjjiandles a thirtyinch separator to its full capacity. There is, of course, abso lute freedom from sparks. - " - .. - You will find that the GasPull completely fills the bill wherever there is plowing to be done, crops to plant and harvest; loads to haul, grain to thresh, roads to build, or wherever power is required to cut down farm expenses and increase farm "profits. Then, there's the price. Without making comparisons here, we can safely say that there is no better tractor value on the market. You may be sure that a GasPull costs much less than the horses or mules it will displace, can be maintained at much less cost and will do more work. Made in one size 15-30 horsepower.
