Our best acre of clover was cut the
last of May and gave US two tons of
the finest kind of hay, which all of
stock ate greedily. The sod was then
turned under and we have the land
in late tomatoes, and shall probably
again SOW to clover when we give
our tomatoes their last working.
We have had remarkably good
success in sowing crimson clover be
tween growing corn, or anything
which furnishes a partial shade for
the young plants. 1t is an ideal
cover crop, standing our coolest win
ters here and growing at a season
when in all likelihood the land would
otherwise be bare. It not only pre-
vents the teaching of nitrates out of
the soil during our heavy and con-
tinued rains in winter, but procures
more of this much-needed element of
plant food from the air, at the same
time.
Plant crimson clover and COW peas
and increase the fertility of your
soil. All the nitrogen necessary for
ordinary farm crops can be secured
in this way. F. J. MERRIAM.

HOW TO PREVENT AND DESTROY CLoDs

Mr.. Jas. B. Hunnicutt, an occa-
sional contributor to The Progress
i've Farmer, writes the Southern
Cultivator the following interesting
article on the subject named above ::
We get so many requests for in
formation on these points that we
will say a few words in regard to
them. If you have a piece of hard
land to break, which is so baked as
to come up in clods, we would sug-
gest that you run over it with disc
Or Cutaway harrow ahead of plOws,
and break with very small scooters.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-08-21
Raleigh, N. c., August 81, 1900.

DO not try to turn such land. If
you still have clods do not wait for
them to harden, but run heavy
roller or drag over and follow with
Acme or other pulverizing harrow
the same day. An hour or so will
do this for each days plowing. Thus
you will pulverize most of them
quite easily. Run roller ahead of
harrow so as to crush as many as
possible, and fasten the others so
that they cannot dodge the harrows.
1t will pay to take time to do this,
your crop can be cultivated so much
cheaper afterwards and the yield
will be so much greater. Every
time you go over with harrows and
crushers you will increase the yield
of the crop.
AN EXPERIMENT THAT PROVES.
We once selected one acre in a
twenty acre field, average spot, and
plOwed and narrowed this acre four
teen times right along before we
quit. We then planted and Guilt
waited this acre just as we did the
rest of the field, running the rows
right along through it.
The yield was much more than
double any other acre. This has
continued to be true for five years,
in all kinds of crops. All through
the growing season this acre can be
distinguished as far as you can see
the field. All crops grow off quicker
and yield heavier. Culture is Ma
nure" is true.
THE HARD PAN.
But after all the old proverb ''an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure" holds good here also. If
the hard pan is broken up and the
water permitted to go on down, so
as not to saturate the soil and re-
main in it too long, the baking will
be prevented. If the baking or run
ming together is prevented the clods
will not form. This is as true of
bottom land as of upland. Stop the
soaking and you will prevent the
clodding.
One other point is worth consider
ing here. Do not burn any vegetable
matter in your farm. Plow it into
the soil. This will enrich the soil
and prevent the baking and clod-
ding.

Observer.

A colored man named Sherrod
Johnson, of this community. has
made such signal success as a farmer,
that [ think is worth while to giveit
to the public.
When the negroes were set free he
set to work to make living for
himself. He says he always voted
because he thought every good citi-
zen ought to do that He has all the
while voted the Republican ticket,
but further than that he has not
meddled with politics. He has made
quite an accumulation of real estate,
owning two or three good farns in
the community, and a few days ago
he brought to Scotland Neck and
sold sixteen bales of cotton and re-
ceived the money for them. He did
not owe the money, but in a general
way was clear of debt. This is q
good and worthy example for other
co1ored men to follow. This man
johnson stands we'll with his own
race and the white race as well. He
is a good citizen and independent at
home.-Scotland Neck Cor. Raleigh
