Crimson Clover.

Philadelphia Record.
Crimson clover may be seeded during next
month, and some farmers will continue
seeding until September. Fortunately for
farmers in this section, the rains of August
are very favorable to its growth. Crimson
clover has been failure in many localities
during some years, due to the unwise sys-
tenn Of sowing too late in the year, and also
to the sowing of seed in cornfields or other
places that had not been properly prepared
for the crop. 1t is alfall crop-that is, seed
ed in the fall-and will grow wherever it is
given good preparation of the soil if not de-
layed too late in seeding. In the South Oc-
tober is not too late but in this latitude the
work should not be delayed longer than
Sept. Is. But few farmers grow II for hay
If red clover will thrive on their farms, the
crimson variety being used almost exclu-
sively as nitrogen gatherer." Lime and
crimson clover are considered one of the
cheapest and best combinations that can
be used for restoring nitrogen without ex-
pending sums for commercial fertilizers,
and excellent results have been obtained
with crimson clover wherever il has been
used as green manurial crop. Crimson
clover has been used as a renovator of the
soil at a season of the year when the land
is usually unoccupied, being like rye in that
respect. 1t will grow on soils upon which
red clover will not thrive. and it grows rap
idly after it starts out in the spring. Too
much was claimed for Ii when it was intro
duced. and failure to fulfill such claims on
the part of those who made tests with IL
resulted in giving crimson clover an unde-
served reputation as a plant that would not
thrive and which was of uncertain growth.
Those who were enthusiastic in its favor
recommended IT as a plant that could be
seeded by scattering the seed in standing
corn, on ground that had not been pre-
pared, and that 1t would grow and thrive
under any conditions. Considering the fact
that no crop can be produced when the

is that crimson clover remains the favorite

They Will BE Held at Various Points
I'm the State for One Day Only.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, July 19.-At a recent
meeting of the executive committee of the
Indiana State Dairy Association it was
decided to hold few one-day dairy meet
ings at points in the State where there is
dairy interest enough to warrant it, prefer
ably at those points where there has not
been any meetings of the dairy association
or special dairy institutes.
Towns or schoolhouses near a creamery
cheese factory, condesing factory, cream or
milk-shipping stations, and communities
where large amounts of dairy butter are
made, would be suitable places of such
meetings.
Persons who may be interested in hav-
ing such a meeting in their neighborhood
should address the secretary of the State
Dairy Association at once and ascertain
what will be necessary to secure meeting.
AS these meetings must be held within
the next three months prompt action will
be required to complete arrangements. Sc
lect dates, secure speakers and properly
advertise the meeting. While the applica-
tions will be considered in the order of
their receipt, the committee reserves the
right to name the places for meetings. Ad-

BAR TO PROGRESS.

Railroad Bridge Stops Work on an
Interurban Road.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, July 19.-There has
been absolutely no progress made toward
removing the obstruction on Main street,
this city, that will prevent through traction
service from Indianapolis to Dayton, o. The
bridge built by the c., c. G. l.. Railroad
across Main street is too low to permit the
big interurban cars TO pass under it. This
bridge is built over a deep cut in the road,
and there is objection to making an addi-
tional cut. Either this cut must be made
or the bridge must be raised. In either case
the work Will prove very expensive. The
City Council has considered the matter and
some time ago put the proposition back to
the Richmond Street G. Interurban Railway
Company, since which time nothing has
been done. The Council stands ready to
help the work along, but will insist that
the rights of the city be fully protected.

fire which caused the loss of eighteen horses
in the Soules livery stable, an incendiary
blaze was discovered in an alley block

nights as many as five and six. The blaze

cry stable, threw light into the straw
which was inside the stable, within arms
reach of the alley openings of the building.
