Kerlcea Is a deep rooted porenlal that will withstand much drought and Is very desirable for hay and supplementary grazing. A good stand of Sarlcea on land of medium fertility may he expected to yield from 1 to 2 tons of hay per acre after the first season. Terrace lines were recently run by the Lynches River Soil Conservation District on W. R. Capehart's farm of the Hoy kin section. Mr. Capehart constructed hts terraces with a tractor and disc tiller. E&rnle Hlnson. eooporator of the Farm Security Administration, has seeded five acres of permanent pasture on his farm near Anttoch. The mixture consisted of four pounds of White Dutch and Hop clover, 10 lbs/ Imported Dallas grass and 15 poundB of lespedeza. This area was trated with 400 pounds of acid phosphate and one ton of lime per acre prior to seeding. A naturul stand of Bermuda exists In most places. Mr. Hlnson plans to carry at least one animal unit per aero after his pasture comes Into prod uotion. Many farmers In the county are seeding crotalaria on their lighter soil types this spring. Although crotalaria has certain limitations, it has proven to be one of the best soil building and erosion resisting crops in this section. Yields of corn are definitely increased as a result of good stands of crotalaria being produced the previous year.

She belongs to Miss Henrietta Johnson and when a camera artist took a snap of Korette on her ^irthday, showing lit the picture was her beloved mistress. Miss Johneon and that genial veterinarian, I)r. T. II. Bruce, Sr., who has attended Korette since she was a woe bitsy new-born horse. Korette's birthday was made tho occasion a real banquet. And the camera man took a ^picture of the banquet table with Korette and hor guests of honor. For Korette had a real birtlulay cake with 30 lighted candles, a big carton of Quaker Oats (Quaker Oats company please take note?this is a good plug?the'picture of tho oats, not the horse.) On tho table alao was a bowl containing a cabbage, apples, carrots and a lot of sugar. The sugar, eight pounds of rationed sweetness, was a gift from admiring friends of Korette. Korette's mother was named Flossie and she lived to the age of 20 years and was the property of Miss Johnson for 17 years. It will be recalled that Miss Johnson was also the owner of Caesar a horse that attained the age of 41 years. He. like Korette and Flossie, owed their health and long life to the mlnlstoratlons of the venerable Doctor Bruce. Korette will be 31 years of age next August and already Miss Johnson Is planning on giving her a big birthday party. Those round-the-clock bomkjnt.B should convince the Nuzla that hJEl time is short.
