COVERT CASE TO JURY, Case Consumes All of Afternoon and Morning?Jury Visits Scene. Tho case of Frank Covert against the Atlantic Coast lane Railroad com? pany for $2,999 damages, alleged due because of alleged injuries received through the alleged carelessness of the railroad company In backing a swindling engine Into a car where he was unloading hay. The CU8C was begun Thursday bet?re eourt took its recess and continued all afternoon and all of Friday morning. During the morning the jury was taken to the scene to see for themselves just how and what it was alleged was done there. The case went to the jury after 1 o'clock, when court took its usual recess. Messrs. Jenninga and Epps conducted the plaintiff's case and Messrs. McLemore and Reynolds were the attorneys for the defendant. Save the nur and Crimson Clover Seed. During the next few weeks many th< uaanda of acres of bur and < rimaon ( lover will conn- to maturity, and it is exceedingly important that ar? rangements be made now for saving a big crop of clover seed. Last fall tho demand, particularly for bur clover. far exceeded the supply and. as t re? sult, toward the end of the season the few seed available were quoted at c'i a bushel. in the South interest in these two great soil-improving crops has been greatly stimulated during recent years, and the demand for seed this fail will likely be far greater than' ever before. We know of many farmers who failed to plant clover last fall simply because the seed were not to be had. and those of our read? ers who are growing clover should arrange to help supply the cerainly big demand next fall. We know one farmer who hag re? cently bought for $26 a clover-huller attachment for his ordinary threshing machine. This attachment is manu? factured by one of the largest imple? ment concerns In the country, and is guaranteed to <b? satisfactory work. If it proves entirely successful the way to cheaper crimson clover seed seems open. Bui even where a clover-hub lor is not to be had, crimson clover seed for home use may be saved by hand and sowed chaff and all, uBlni per acre about three times the weight of cleaned seed ordinarily used. \V ith bur clover no hulling is neces Bary; In fact, it is really a disadvan? tage, since the seed in tin- bur carry Inoculation. When the bur clover dies early in May all that is necessary Is to rake away the stems and trash and sweep up the clover seed. Of course, If the seed are intended for rrarket, all dirt and trash should be screened <vut; but If they are to be used at home this is m>t necessary. The demand for clover seed next! fall will likely break all records; we hope Progressive Farmer readers who are already growing clover are pepar ing to aid In supplying this demand.?
