F o u r . methods to be used by anti-suftragistsi to bring about a decision by the su- j j preme court before the November election in legality of ratification of, the federal suffrage amendment were outlind in a statement issued here to- | night by th American Coi^titutional , league. I The anti-suffragists, according to the sttaement, proposes first to appeal pending litigation as to Tennessee a ratification to the Tennesee supreme court which meets September 20. An attempt will bt made to have the case appealed or certified from the Ten- j nessee court to the supreme court. The second method outlined is to bring inunction and mandamus pro? ceedings against election officials, to keep women from voting and. thereby cause suffragists themselves to help expediate the case speedily to the highest cdurt. The third proposal is to have an at- j torney general of one of the 12 states i which have not ratified refuse women the vote and carry the case into the supreme court at once on an original jurisdiction in the name of a sov? ereign state. Should these methods fail, anti-suf? fragists, according to the league, hope to carry to the supreme court the appeal from the District of Columbia, supreme court's dismissal of an in- ! unction to restrain Secretary of State Colby from proclaiming the suffrage amendment's ratification.

Th<f cat*condition* of the soil mgjl greatly impr/uved by growing 1 soil-bui|ding crop preparatory setding. Posa or velvet beans be sown during the early su apd the stubble turned in Septem] The land should he turned and Sub soiled to a depth of 6 to 12 inches, and harrowed until it is thoroughly pulverized. Before turning, a liberal application (6 to lo tons per acre) oi well decomposed stable manure and 300 pounds of lime should be ap? plied. When a perfect seed bed has. been made, apply 600 to 80) pounds of 8-4-4 commercial fertilizer and harrow thoroughly into the first few inches offeoil. The lawn grasses should be card fully selected, and only those grasses or mixtures used that are adapted to that locality and are capable of mak? ing a good sod under existing con? ditions. A mixture of Kentucky blue grass, Bermuda, and white clover is especially suitable to the partially shaded lawn, the blue grass predomi? nating in the shaded portions of the lawn and the Bermuda in the sunny spots while the clover keep* the en? tire lawn green throughout the win? ter. The mixture should be planted during early October, using SO to 35 podnds of blue grass, 4 to 5 pounds of clover, and a proportionate amountl of Bermuda roots per acre. The seediiyj; of the blue grass and clover should follow the planting of the Bermuda, which should be planted' in rows 18 inehe3 apart, dropping the roots 12 to 16 inches apart and covering i to r> inches deep with al? ternating rows. Separate sowings of blue grass and clover, should be * made, sowing the seed broadcast by hand or by u?o of a mechanical seeder. The seed should be covered lightly, brushing lightly or raking into the soil, and this followed by a^y-. light rolling. The annual lawn, -which is neces? sary in some cases preparatory to the maTsing of the permanent lawn, f may be made by seeding1 with Italian rye sown either in fall or soring the rate of 2 bushels per acre. When properly cared for this will make a beautiful green six to eight weeks from seeding. It is imperative that this grass be cut when It has reached, I i height of ? 3 to 4 Inches; otherwise the lawn will be uattractive. ?
