for the main purpose OF keeping she
sal from being washed by the winter
rains, and later on m the spring the
crnp turned under to enrich the Land
One good crop Of Crimson or Eur ciar
YER snrned aHder would so enrich our
average soils a. to make show OF its
good effects for several years.
Until farmer comes to appreciate
the necessity for supplying his soil
abandantIy with hunus. and 80 regu.
Iabes his practices as to give each acre
Of arabic Land a fair crop Of clover lor
peasj every two years, he will not seq
his farm in condition to supply him
with profitable crops. There il no 9th
er way Of restoring fertility TO long
cultivated land than this of growing il
on the land Strange psssess the
thoughtIess might alleget bft the
statement is true Put all the conn
mercial fertilizer you may on these
worn soils, It will be Of little effect un-
less there is humus In the soil to make
It properly assfmilabIe and to open
the soil for the essential carbonic acid
TIL the soil with humus, then every
pound Of commercial mineral manure
applied will have It's effect In increas-
ing the crop. 1t Is so easy for the
southern farmer to restore hamas to
his soil If he only appreciates the ne
cessity for doing so. He can restore
hnmns, In fact without fntermitting
his money crOp--Iet that De what it
might be-
What host of plants he has at hfs
disposaI-peas, Sofa beams, Bur clover,
Crimson clover, SapIing clover. Red
clover. Japan clover. MeIiLotus, vsteh,

One Of the greatest crimes of the
day committed chiefly against the
farmer is the selling of seeds infertiIe
and worrhIess.- IB is quite possible
that there are some very good people
who sell such goods ignoranf ef how
worthless they are. Then agafn there
are others who sell them knowing Z
slieY ARE old seeds and consequently p

any worse crime ag-Iislss the stirss Of
