SWEET CLOVER AND LIME
STONE On Monday we were
at the Buquo Limestone Plant
I just out of Hot Springs. We
noticed a man cleaning up a-
round the plant and were es
pecially interested because
what he was cutting at that
Mr. Poe's paper, The Progress-;
ive Farmer, and have read
some of his articles in that pub-'
lication. Now is your chance to
see and hear him.
You will want to hear F. H.
Jeter. Agricultural Editor of
the State College at Raleigh,
N. C. Mr. Jeter is a speaker
that few can equal and fewer
still hope to surpass. He tells
what he has to tell in simple,
easily understood English, dec
orated by stories illustrating
his points and impressing them
on your mind in such a way
that you will not easily forget
them. He will be wejl worth
your time.
There will be a picnic din-
was sweet clover. We
called Mr. Lippard's, the man
ager, attention to it. "Yes," he
says, sweet clover grows
thick and big there, That is
where the cars for the lime
stone are side-tracked and the
waste limestone; is jarred out
onto the ground." The sweet
clover was over waste high and
had been cut before several
times. What an object lesson!
J. E. Carter is feeling good
over a field of clover on the
mountain back of his house,
He spread about a ton of lime
stone to the acre on a part of
this field before sowing to
clover. Th-a remainder of the
field received the same treat

exception that no limestone

The previous day we stopped
at Mr. Stanley's house near
Hot Springs. Mr. Stamey was
just finishing picking his fruit.
When we reached his home he
was grading some Wincaps,
throwing out the cull and box
ing the better apples. He took
us to his apple house and show
ed us the Delicious and the
Grimes Golden apples. They
surely appealed to the eye
and would have a great deal to

We were looking at the ap
ples at the community fair at
Leicester last week. One) man
was getting the firsts all the
time. Why? Because his fruit
was free from blemishes, from
worms, and were more nearly
perfect. His competitors were
showing fruit that was blotch
ed, that was blemished more
or less, and some specimens of
which were wormy. Thej rea
