If the beans are allowed to remain in the field very long after they are matured the hulls will pop open and the beans fall out. This, of course, doesn't matter if you intend for the hogs to harvest them. Let's everybody plant a few and see how you like them. It won't cost to give them a trial. Joseph H.

R. Chapman. The decision was given in the case of the state against the Montgomery Advertiser, in which the newspaper sought to have dissolved an injunction restraining it from publishing liquor advertisements.

The chancellor stated he would issue Soy Beans Soy beans, the richest in pro- tain of any of the legumes, have is yet been grown in a very limited way in this section of the country. In Tennessee and the Carolinas they are grown much more extensively than cowpeas for two reasons. They are rich er in protein, which makes them a better feed for supplementing corn for hogs, and they make more bushels of seed per acre. For, these same two reasons they should be planted on every farm in Georgia. Mammoth Yellow Soy Bean, which is decidedly the best variety for this section, is slightly larger than our old-fashioned speckle peas.

They produce a bushy growth, ranging from eighteen inches to three feet high, depending on the fertility of the land on which they are planted. The vines can be easily cut be- fore all the beans rrvme 'to raa- turity and make an excellent quality of hay. Or hogs can ibe turned in on them at about this same stage and get the very best of grazing. a.u wuq UOU icsuiva UlJCJ should be planted between the middle of April and the middle of May. On land that has never produced these beans I would inocu- suggest that the seed be lated before they are planted, tne nrst year at least.

1 nave a quantity of application cards for securing inoculating material from the Department of Agri culture, free. And anyone who wants to plant a few acres in Soy beans can get enough inoculation for two bushels of seed without any cost to them if they will write or ask me for some of these cards. They should be planted in drills about three feet apart so that they can be cultivated. A bushel of seed will cost about I $2.00 and will plant from one to you to our plant t. I' (.
