of the land without any blowing. We
would like to see the day when such a
practice was a common one in our
country.
The only rational and truly cconom-
ical way Of restoring.the lost fertility
of our long cultivated soils is
through the medium of leguminious
crops grown specially for manurial
purposes.
There are several clovers that our
southern farmers can use for restoring
the humus that has been almost en-
tirely burnt out in the past twenty-five
years.
We wish that we could persuade q
few thousand farmers who read the
Southern Farm to make a fair test of
sowing clover with their grain. If
they could be persuaded to try it once
soon see perfect tidal wave Of soil
| improvement.
Taking land that has been plowed,
| say once, in January, harrow in the
two and a half or three bushels of oat
seed early in February, and immedi-
ately afterward SOW ten or twelve
| (eight might dol pounds of red or sap
ling clover, sowing it as early as pos
| sible, then give the land good roll
| ing. Very few of our farmers have
such an implement roller, we are
sorry to say.
| If farmer hasn't one and can not
hire or borrow one, of course he will
have to do the best he can without the
| roller. A drag is the next best resort
| to run over the land after sowing thu
seed. If he has no drag he will have
to put up with brush. When a roller
is used it presses the seed and sol
firmly together, and this is all tn,
covering needed. The rolling must b,
| done only when the soil is dry. Tn
oats and clover come up together. bu
