Talking about thc usc of legumes, tbe Progressive Farmer says: "Thia ls u year when every acre possible should be planted to a soil bullditiK crop of some kind. Feeds are high prieed and KO are fertilizers, and the man who grown these instead of buying them will be luying the limiest kind of foundation for a fu ture prosperity. * "One of the marks of the success ful farmer is the ability to produce to the maximum possible cxtnet the crops that feed the land; the marks of the mortgage ?oviied farm ls gen erally a ruinous adherence to a one <rop system that forgets that fat soils, fat stock and an ample living for the family should be thc primury considerations. "Let's see where wc can use the soil building crops to udvantuge: FlrHt, there come thc oat and wheat fields, where the crops will be har vested in ay aud June. The man who falls to have a crop of peas, beans or clover ofter his crops of small grain is simply neglecting the biggest source of profit, for the feed and soil fertility that come from such c.-ops often mean more per acre than the grain crop. "Then not a single ?ere of corn should be laid by without having peas sown in the middle's, or In the south ern part of the cotton belt velvet benns may bc planted about the time the corn ls planted, or just after. A corn field without peas, beans or pea nuts for soil bulldlnK and fall and winter feed ls seldom returning more than one-half the net profit that it should. "Then this fall, from seed saved during the next two months, every cotton middle should bc scded to clover or vetch. "Plant the legumes everywhere this year. If you have the seed, BO much tho better; but If necessary, buy them, for you will find few invest ments moro profitable. Then next full, whether cotton bo low or high in price, you will have materially cut your fertilizer bill for the following i year." HUERTA WATCHED WHILE IN N. Y.

PAVING COMMISSION IN LENGTHY SESSION NUMBER OF MATTERS WITH REFERENCE TO LEGAL PHASES DISCUSSED NOTHING DEFINITE Wa? Taken With Regard to Pav ing of Streets-Merely Lay ing Legal Foundations. Discussion of a largo number of legal poluta pertaining to the street paving, many of which were of a technical nature and of little If any interest to the general public, was the principal and practically the only feature of a two-hours session of the cireet paving commission, held last night in the olhcc of chairman E. H. Horton. Acting Attorney for the Commission ErneHt F. Cochran, and Resident En; glnccr Wade A. Sanders had pre viously held a conference and mapped out a general linc of procedure Cor the commls3lon to follow in carrying on its work. These matters were pre sented to tho commisslor by Attorney Cochran, who discussed for the cn llghtment of thc board the legal phases of a number of questions that the commission will be confronted with from tim to time. The commission took no definite action in the matter of selecting any particular streets foi? ' paving, hut authorized the resident engineer to prepare data on a batch of streets that are likely to be paved. Possession of theue data will enable the commlsaion to proceed more promptly with the letting of contracts for pavtfng when petitions, properly executed, for the paving of streets are considered. Thc acting attorney called the at tention of thc commission to thc nec essity of having all petitions for street paving presented in proper shape, that is. filled with thc city clerk legally signed. Husbands can not sign for wives and vice versa, and agents of ocrporatlons cannot sign thc petitions unless they are author ized to do BO by the proper authori ties. The commission also discussed va rious phases of tho paving certificate proposition, considering plans where by thc payments for paving will be made easier for the abutting proper ty owners. The sense of the commission is that actual work on thc street paving will be gotten under way as quickly as possible, yet every step taken by the hoard will be carefully thought out before hand and assurance had that everything done is done strictly ac cording to law. The commission proposes to hold another meeting in the near future, when the matter of selecting particu lar Btrents to?' paving will bc taken up and decisions made. Aa yet tho com mission ha>)> not gone over any of the petition-, for street paving pre sented, and have not made any de cisions as to what streets will bc paved, except in a general way. As stated, already, they authorized the j resident engineer to compplle data with reference to a whole batch of streets, so that in case it ls decided to pave any particular streets out ot that general list tho necessary infor mation will be in hand for facilitating tho letting of contracts.
