Grass For Overlooked Land.

G.. S. H.. Martin, Tenn. writes us
there any grass l can plant OH over
flowed land for grazing that will beat
Bermuda? Does Bermuda fatten stock
equal to any other kind? Will white
clover grow on lands that are over
flowed 1T short intervals i'll fall and
winter: When is the best time to SOW
ALFALFA"
Answer by Professor Soulc: Probably
the very best grass you can utilize for
overflowed land is red top as it grows
better in moist situations than any
other cultivated grass. and does not
mind wet feet" as the saying goes.
while such grasses as orchard grass
tall oat grass and others would be
killed out on this kind of land. Ber-
muda grass would not be injured by
overflow during the season when 1t IS
dormant. though during the growing
season il might hurt it somewhat. but
i; is 4 pretty hardy grass and would.
as 4 rule, recover unless buried very
deeply under the mud or subjected 10 4
prolonged overflow. Bermuda grass
will carry about the same weight Of
stock as any other grass. While 1t may
not be quite so nutritious rs some
grasses. IL is very nearly qual TO blue
grass. In fact, many who have COM
pared the two side by side in 4 practi.
cal way. claim superiority for the Ber-
muda. but it must be borne in mind
that 4 good many OF these comparisons
were made in sections Of the country
where blue grass does not reach its
perfection. However, Bermuda is al
excellent grass for grazing purposes
and will carry 4 large amount Of stock
for several months Of the year. and it
will certainly hold the soil and prevent
washing.
Alsikc clover would probably be bet
ter OH bottom lands subject to overflow
than white clover. as it is very muck
like red top in respect to moist soils
OF course. alSike would grow fairly
we'll on soils of only moderate fertility
and that get comparatively dry at ccr-
tain seasons of tie year, but it does
best of all on low moist bottom lands.
1t is as satisfactory for grazing pur-
poses as white clover and will make q
much stronger growth Oh favorable
soils.

bed and the grass and clover seeded at
the rate Of 20 pounds per acre. Before
seeding the grass it will be well to
make m application Of 200 pounds of
e per cent. acid phosphate per acre
and 100 pounds of muriate of potash,
rs grass draws heavily III the potash OF
the soil. These two fertilizing con.
stituents may be mixed together and
applied broadcast or sown with a drill
whichever is most convenient. When
the grass comes up light application
Of nitrate Of soda will prove very bene-
fetal, say so pounds per acre. The
next spring when the growing season
opens up apply nitrate of soda again
ut the rate of so pounds per acre. If
you have supply of farmyard manure
and could top dress the meadow next
fall or spring it would be an excellent
plan.
If your land grew grass we'll once. its
failing to do so now is directly at
tributable to the heavy draft OIL the
soil which the crops grown have made.
If you will put enough fertilizing ma
terial back on your soil and rotate
your crops so as to keep the land in
good condition and let one crop sup
plement the other as in rotation, you
should have no difficulty in again
growing grass.-Andrew NJ. Soule.

He receives in cash a rate of interest which

II he borfows the 'ul loan value of his shares
he receives more cash than he could possibly re-
ceiye from similar investment with any insur-
ance company.

OF which will he greatly increased at the matur-
ity of his contract ten years hence This increase
In value Is assured from the very nature OF the

He is assured of an income at maturity equal

ten yrar previous.
In the event of his death his heirs are amply
provided for through the life insurance ana the
large amo unit OF cash they can realize on demand.

lged to discontinue his payments after two
Years does not lose what he has invested, but his
contract has a surrender value very much more
