C., Aug. 1, 1020. To tho Farmers, Bankers and Busl iiosB Men in tho Southorti States: Boforo thc groat war progress had boon made toward getting some kind of co vor crop sown ca oh fall on tho furtos of thc south. County agents and other extension workers stressed their Importance, und* ouch year thousands of demonstrations gave ocular proof of their value. Follow ing tho outbreak of the war, how over, there was a great decrease in the acroago sown to such crops. This wes line to labor shortage, high priced seed, unsettled conditions, and particularly lo the stress of food pro duction. Wo should now endeavor to regain the lost ground and again stress suit able cover crops as part of tho farm system for tho South. Let us try to make tlie early slogan of the Farm ers Co-oporatlvo Demonstration Work,"Cover Crops on F.very Farm," a reality in every county in tho South this year. Winter cover crops havo a special value on Southern farms. They pro tect tho land from washing, prevent loss of plant food by leaching, fur nish grazing for live stock during the winter months, and In the spring may he plowed under to the great heuofit of the soil, or loft to harvest for hay, grain or seeds. Crops to Consider. The small grains and tho clovers arc. tho most satisfactory crops for til is purpose. They ure all adapted to Southern conditions and soils. In most of tho Southern States oats ls tho most important small grain. Not over 75 per cont of the amount need ed for home consumption is now be ing grown. The acreage In fall oats should bo greatly Increased. Thoy can ho producod cheaply, mature early, and can be followed In most of the States by corn and i.owpeas, cowpeas for hay, sweet potatoes or other fall crops. Rye is better than fall-sown oats in the nortehrn tier of States of the Southern group. Oats, rye, wheat, har clover, crim son clover and the vetches, sown with oats, are all valuable as cover I crops. The choice will depend on ! your soil and location, and the coun ty agent or tho agricultural college will advise you. Plan a Campaign this Fall, Tho severe drain on soil fertility from growing emergency food crops during the war makes it moro than ever important to now grow restora tive crops. Wo must not only main tain, hut must increase, our soil fer tility if profitable production of our money crops can he continued under tho new conditions. A concerted cam paign, engaged in by extension work ers, the press, bankers, business men and farm organizations, could arouse the necessary interest and enthusi asm to insure a great increase in cover crop planting this fall. Tho extension forces of tho United States Department of Agriculture and tho State agricultural colleges can plan Huch a campaign, assist in arousing interest, and furnish information as to covor crops boat adapted to par ticular sections, but they must have the moral and financial backing of tho other agencies named to make such a campaign a complete success. Especially can business men rjnd bankers, or their organizations, be of great service by assisting and ar ranging for an economical supply of soed and fertilizers, as well as by using their influence to induce far mer customers to sow suitable covor crops on thoir farms this fall. Tho time for sowing fall crops ls almost hore. Consult your county agent, tho agricultural colloge or the United States Department of Agricul ture as to the best crops for your section-and GET BUSY.

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 4. - Every ii.an aboard tho schooner Roosevelt, from tho master to tho cook, In from a recent voyage, said that tb.ey would lake an oath that they saw a huge bald eagle take a wild ride on a salmon's back in tho stretch ol' water between Capo Mudge and Sey mour Narrows, (Juif of Georgia. And they brought the eagle to Seattle to provo it. The Roosevelt was on its way to Seattle from tho fishing banks In Hecate Strait. Shortly af tor passing Seymour Narrows membors of the crew said that they noticed a bald eagle Hying close to tho water, near tho vessel. As thoy watched the Dig bird skimming near the surface, a spring .salmon, estimated to weigh about 2 0 pounds, leaped clear of thc swift-moving current. Quick as a flash tho euglo drove his sharp talons Into the fish's back. There was a great splash as the big springer dived, taking the eagle henoath tho surface. All hands thea rushed to the rall to watch the strug gle. Three times, they said, tho fish add the hird disappeared beneath tho water, while tho Roosevelt steered a course close behind them. Finally the eagle loosened Its hold on the salmon and flopped over on tho surface of the water, completely exhausted, lt had put up a gnuie fight, but had lost Us prey. The crew of the Roosevolt pulled the bird Into their vessol with a halt hook. Thc eagle was nearly drowned, but on tho deck ho soon recovered and then showed fight. While the battle between the bird and the fish was in progress, two other eagles, the Roosevelt's men de clared, flew around the vicinity, ap parently greatly excited and scream ing loudly. Capt. Harney Podersan presented the captured eagle to one of the local public parks. Fair Play Local Notes. Fair Play, Aug. 2.-Special: Hov.
