Among | fhe best crops for this purposé may be named cowpeas, velvet beans, ¢lo- | ver, buckwheat, and sorghum. ordi | narily the crops should be allowed te reach maturity before turning under. | 1t is not a good practice to turn under a heavy green crop Immediately be- | fore planting another crop, especially small grain. A cover crop is usually sown late In the season, after the main crop is eut of the way. Oats, rye and crimson clo~ ver are most commonly used for this purpose. They are sown in the cotton or corn at the time of the last working and make some growth during the au- tumn and early spring. They serve the double purpose of adding humus and of preventing sofl eroston. The cover crop should be plowed under at least two weeks before the time for | planting tha next crop. Green-manure crops are helpful in improving the me- chanical condition and rendering avatl- sable the plant food already in the sofl, It is hoped that the value of farm manures has been made sufficiently evident and that more farmers will we attention to the saving of them. i} Sregions, hig) 5 DRAINAGE FOR SWAMP LANDS arcs Trocte Can Be Made to Grow Crops and Keat Animals to Fed Thousands of Soldiers Large trncts of wat land v wrea from a few hundred to thousands of geres In mapy stoles nthe humid Bis i timber, ja made' || nothing gatde Tro | to grow a crops and ment agle mals to feed thousands of soldiers, if |property dratned.

In declding tne ume to plow, the ad- vantages and disadvantages of 'both spring and fall plowing must be taker into consideration, indicate that fall plowing should be dome, as the galn of molstare during \ the winter by the stubble land prob- , ably would not equal the loss of mols | ture taken hy the weeds in the fall. If ! only light rains occur, however, the molsture in the soll produced by. i] . rains probably would be more than off- set by the greater quantity of show "held by the stubble during the winter, "and the reduction of the weeds in the. crop. Spring plowing would then be better, The avallability of laber in the fall and winter will Influence the amount of plowing done, but a greater effort should be made to do the plowing | if here is heavy precipitation than £f the rainfall is light.

According to = pamphlet published by the National Bank of Commerce, the total sugar production of the world, so recently as 1840, was only 1,288,000 tous, whereas in the four years from 1914 to 1918 the average production was more than 19,000,000 tons. Three "hundred years ugo, the pamphlet points out, sugar was a rare 'and precious luxury, reserved only for the tables of royalty, or at Best of the wealthiest and most pow- erful classes. In those days all sugar was cane sugar, for beet sugar was Bot discovered wntil 1747. However, in the ten years from 1889 to 1849 beet sugar, thanks to Intensive culti- vation and great efforis to promots its production, actually constituted three-fifths of the world's supply. Since then, however, cane growth has regained primacy, and since has formed about 65 per cent. of the total. The United States is the greatest sugar-consuming nation in the world, with Great Britain second. The great- ction has been almost PIE, 900 British and 1568,~ est producers of sugar for export are Cuba, Java, and the insular posses- slong of the United States, British India is the second largest sugar- producing territory in the world, but consumes Its entire production at home, For.

Jad he lived, it is certain that the House of Cummons would have prade him a grant in accordance with the well established precedent. After the South African War Lord Roberts was created an earl and given grant of £100,000, whilst Lord Kitca- ener, who had, aftor his achievements {of Omdurman, Khartoum, and Fasho- age, received a viscounty and a grant of £560,000.
