HOW TO GROW CLOVER.
thoughtful Farmer Tolls When, How and
Why Clover Seed Should be
SOwn.


III Is the aim of every thoughtful
farmer TO secure the best results when
lie scatters seed, and he should be able
10 give reasons for sowing at a certain
time and the method he adopts. Janu-
airy is the time to SOW on wheat land
because, then, it being the dead of the
winter, the seed will not sprout be-
lore they have been worked in the
ground deep enough to prevent early
sprouting. Then, at the proper time
III the spring, when the suns piercing
rays is strong enough to reach these
buried seeds, they will germinate. If
you sow in February or March the
seed will not have as much time to be
worked deep enough in the ground to
prevent light, warm spells in February
and March from sprouting the seed
and being killed, after it comes up. by
late cold spells.
April is the time to COW clover seed
on. oat land, because then The danger
from cold spells is over. The com
mon practice is to SOW on top of the
ground and not harrow in, but the
BEST way is to use light harrow in
covering the clover seed. 1t is true
portion of the seed will be narrowed
into the ground too deep to come up,
nut they will not be lost, because they
VIII germinate whenever they are
placed near the surface by cultivation
and there will be plenty OF seed left

"A grade sire is bound to breed
your herd down, not up. He may
show some ancestral merits, but he
has no power to transmit them. The
improvement has ended with himself.
The only setback to the silo has
come through oyer-zealous advocates
who have induced beginners to make
too expensive structures, and given
them false ideas as TO the amount of
stock which can be fed.
Those who do not spray their or
chards and take pains to procure
sound fruit will be driven out of the

THE SOUTH AND COTTON.
me southern States Growing Too Much
Cotton-Shouid be Restrained With
In Reasonable Bounds.

The immense crop of cotton and
It's ruinously low price are attracting
the attention of the world and excit-
ing CONSERVATION in the minds of
every patriotic lover of the south, the
section where it is mast largely culti-
waited.
The New Orleans cotton exchange
reports the production in the south
ern states for 1S97-0S amounted TO H.
l99,9s4 bales. The northern mills con-
sumed 2,2l1,740 bales, and the south
ern mills used 1921, ,s41, n total of con-
sumed in America of 3,443,5s1 bales.
The great overplus was either export.
ed to foreign countries or stored in our
warehouses and on our plantations.
The entire cotton crop of the world
America, Egypt, India and elsewhere,
is reported as 1924, 900 bales, and the
total consumption of the world is H.
100000 bales, or $4,000 bales more than
the production of the United States
alone, leaving the vast surplus of g.
100000 bales to be brought forward to
present crop and depress prices. The
worlds markets are being completely
demoralized by such excessive over
production.
The southern states particularly are
growing too much cotton. And vet
this very serious, painful, self-evident
truth seems to have no effect upon our
pleaded with, eXhorted, argued with
ridiculed, threatened-all with abso-
lutely no effect There seems to be an
unexplainable fascination about the
expensive, unremunerative culture of
the great staple which no loss, no ar
gument, no entreaty can overcome or
resist.
Are our farmers stark mad? VIII
they never listen to reason? Do they !
not see that our huge crops cause the |
great drag and burden on our impe- |
cunious section? Must we resort TO |
legislation to restrain cotton culture
within more reasonable bounds?
Unless practical and scientific men
in the southern states, or somewhere
in the world, discover new and greater
use for cotton, the planters must be
held back, by some legal measure, to
prevent their speedy destruction. Di-
versified industries are rapidly spring
ing up. Cotton mills increase wonder
fully year by year. But they don't
amount TO any relief.
For years / have advocated and
practiced on my farm the raising of
corn, potatoes, hay, hogs and cattle,
horses, mules, ponies and small grain.
| sell many hogs and cattle for cross
ing purposes to the more thoughtful
planters, and choice seed for sowing.
but the small number interested in
improving their stock and their seed
is distressing. They live forever un-
der the delusion that cotton is their
only money crop" and harp upon
those two words.

ness, and in all sincerity and love-

at the proper depth 10 give a goo,
stand when we sow one bushel to siA
on seven acres. If we SOW without q
light narrowing in of tie seed in al
probability majority OF the seed, il
not all, Will perish beneath the scorch,
ing sun because the roots are not deer
enough to sustain life.
a good practice is to SOW timothy
seed in the fall when we sow our
wheat; this will be great acquisition
to our clover field, as the timothy will
take the place of the clover when it
begins to die out after the first year.
In the event we did not desire to
break our clover field when the clover
disappears, which we would be com
PEELED to after two or three years, we
would have flst class timothy mead
ow or pasture. 1t is an excellent plan
to turn one years growth of clover
under after the seed have maturod
and sow to wheat two years in sue
cession, which will improve the land
and crop of wheat as well as save the
expense of sowing clover seed. While
preparing the land the second year for
wheat the clover seed which was
turned under the year previous will
be worked near the surface. This will
germinate in the spring and make
good stand, and any seed that hap
pens to be too deep in the ground to
sprout will come up when it get near
the surface. A neighbor of mine says
clover seed will retain its vitality 20
years if buried in the ground, but
think the time is indefinite. Common
red clover seed is the kind to sow, be-
cause it produces both hay and seed
crop the same season. 1t is a bad pol
icy, however, to take both crops the
same year from the land, especially If
the land is thin and inclined to wash.
If the seed crop is what you desire to
save, NOW the field just before the
heads begin to turn brown and let the
whole thing lay, and you will be sur
prised at the difference between this
practice and saving the first crop for
hay. Clover plowed under is the
cheapest fertilizer the farmer can use,
and it will pay to SOW in the spring
to turn under in the fall X. Stiles,
