CRIMSON CLOVER PLANT.

veloped and penetrates deeply into the
soil, and the plant is a vigorous grower.
The seed is larger than that Of red
clover, oval in shape. bright reddish
yellow when fresh, paler in the white
lowered variety, and has a highly pol
ished surface. The plants stool freely,
many stems arising from a single root.
Crimson clover will not stand severe
freezing, although it is one of the so
called "winter ANNALS" and under IA
vOrable conditions makes much Of it's
growth during the cool, moist weather
Of fall, winter and early. spring. Its
strong growing roots enable it to Sc
cure nourishment in many soils so poor
and thin that red clover would fail en-
tirely. While requiring a warm eli
mate, it will not endure severe drought.
It thriyes best on rich, rather sandy
loan, but when the conditions Of mois-
ture and temperature are favorable 1T
gives good results on light, sandy soils
as we'll as on clays, if they are not too
stiff and cold.
Crimson clover has come into promi-
hence in this country within compare
lively recent years. 1t can hardly be
regarded as a successful crop outside
Of the region from New Jersey west to
the Allegheny mountains and south to
eastern Tennessee and Texas. Good
crops are often obtained in other sec
lions, but cannot be depended upon
year after year. In the middle and
south Atlantic states this clover is one
Of the best crops that can be grown for
forage and soil renovation. 1t has CIV
en- good results in many portions Of the
gulf states, but many failures are also
reported. In the colder sections of the
country this clover is sometimes sue
cessfully grown as a summer crop, but
it usually winter kills badly when
sown in the autumn. At the expert
ment stations in Rhode Island. New
York, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois, South
Dakota, Nebraska and other states in
the north and west the general results
Of tests show that it is too tender for
the climate and is less valuable than
red clover. From results recently OBJ
tanned at the Alabama experiment sta
ton it seems very likely that in many
cases, especially in the south, failures
with the crop are to be attributed to
the absence from the soil of the tuber-
Gle forming organisms which are neces-
sary for the proper appropriation o.
nitrogen by the plant. These organ
isms being supplied to the soil, excel
lent crops were obtained where with
out them the result was a failure.
These facts are a contribution by Ag-
rostologist s. w. Williams in circular
No. II to the investigation of grass
and forage plants which the depart
ment of agriculture is pursuing.

FALL
Advantages of Some of the Cereal
Grains.

SAA SSA4 &G10S 81 Va OSA vi IN NCISB8
Grains.
The present is u good time to con-
slider the methods Of supplying ample
pasture for stock this fall, says Pro.
fessor w. A. Henry. If there is any
possibility Of scant pastures from the
means already available, let one of the
present grainfields be devoted to tina:
purpose. AS soon as the grain crop is
harvested let the land be prepared by
blowing and reducing to the finest pos
sible condition. On this well made
seed bed SOW oats, wheat, rye or barley,
the last named being far preferable.
Where one wishes to gain both fall and
spring pasture, rye will be found salts
factory. Where fall pasture only is
desired, by all means let barley be
sown. When sown in midsummer, rye
and wheat plants are apt to show red
rust in the hot weather, and this is q
serious drawback in many cases.
Barley is Il wonderful plant in many
particulars. Next to rye. it grows lear
est to the north pole of any cereal in
Europe, and still it tlourishes in Arabia
and other hot countries. Sown in mid
summer, young barley plants will in 4
short time reach a height where they
can be pastured off, and a barley pas
ture will hold good until late in the
fall. On several occasions the writer
Of this has seen barley which was
sown in July head out in the fall, and
last season Il sample of mature barley
grains was sent to us grown from the
second crop. This, of course, is unu-
sual, but it shows what may happen.
The first freezes of fall do far less
harm to young barley plants than to
wheat or oats, and this is an additional
advantage.
Few farmers realize how advanta-
geously some Of the cereal grains may
prove for pasture purposes. They are
apt to think of them only as grain
producers, when in truth wheat, rye,
oats and barley are all grass plants as
much as timothy and blue grass,
though they do not form quite as dense
sod. 1t Is we'll to bear in mind the
secondary value which these plants
possess and use them whenever neces-
sity or opportunity requires.
Grasses and clovers can usually be
sown along with these grains, with a
good "catch" as the result. l think
that experience will show that even
when the barley or oats are pastured
off the grasses and clovers will still
hold, and thus one can get a pasture
crop and a catch Of grass the same
season. More experience is needed on
these points, but the subject is an in
teresting one for those who are study
ing to increase the capacity Of each
field Of his farm until all are made to
produce to the utmost.
