is beneficial to the land The way to

other. The ground IL thus not only

RECLAMATION OF FARMS.
Svccexaful Results Follow the Plant
Ing Of Glover and Cow Peas
en- sterile Lands.

Through the use Of COW peas ard
clover the officers of the Missouri state
board Of agriculture hope to reclaim
many Of the deserted farms of the
state and bring back to barren lan6s
its former fertility Many farmers, in
an erdeavor to reclaim farms, resorted
to the use Of commercial fertilizers,
but the method Is too expensive to in
sure profitable crops. .
In the general introduction OF COW
peas and clover, II Is thought that the
problem Of reclaiming this land has
been solved. A series Of experiments
carried on by the University Of Mis-
souri, has demonstrated this. and farm
ers in all parts Of the state are being
urged to take up the plan. Although
the area Of barren land In Missouri is
very small, Is compared with that OF
older states, 1t 10 rapidly growing
larger, and the necessity Of immediate
remedy is apparent to those who re-
alize The situation.
The reason for recommending clover
and COW peas is because they possess
power peculiar to this class Of plants,
of gathering nitrogen from the air.
Nitrogen, ono CT tho important ele-
n1ents OF plant feed. is required by
all domestic plants. and is the most

eE3.
The other staple farm crops, such al
corn, wheat, timothy. blue grass, rye
and millet, have not the power OF
gathering nitrogen from the air, and
must depend upon the available sup
ply already in the soil. This, in part,
explains why clover and COW peas, al
though producing hay crop ricn in
the elements OF plant food, will leave
the soil on which this product is grown
more productive than before.
On land that is badly worn the care
full saving of the farm fertilizers and
the proper rotation Of clover and COW
pease with the other farm crops. will
keep UP the fertility of the SOIL and
will avoid the necessity of the purchase
OF any commercial fertilizers.
Unfortunately, there are many fail
ures, often under the very hest man
agement, connected with the attempt
to grow clover. The experiment sta
ton at Columbia receives more ins
Guirles as to the best method of seed
ing and caring for the clover crop than
any other problem in agriculture. AS
result of these inquiries the station
has undertaken series OF experiments
to determine the proper season to SOW
clover and the best methods Of pro-
sedpre.
On the station grounds for the past
two years, once each week, clover has
been sown from the LIST of February
to the 10th of April. The result Of
these experiments have demonstrated
thae the best time to SOW clover is
about the middle OF March. When
sowed earlier than that, an early warm
spell will terminate the seed too early
and leave the young plants the victims
of hate frost.
The COW pea appears to Aave the
ability to thrive on Land toe poor to
grow red or crimson clover. 1t is not
affected so seriously as clover by ex-
cessive heat Or drought, and is not
easily smothered out by weeds.
On moist soils in central and south
ern Missouri it yields larger quantity
of vegetable matter containing larger
total quantity of nitrogen than does
red clover In the sections Of the state
where the climate is well adapted tc
the growth of COW peas it is believed
that they will prove more satisfactory
as green manure crop than either
red or crimson clover, especially on
POOR soils, inasmuch as there is less
risk in securing a stand, and there is
no danger of the hot weather in the
midsummer killing the young plants.
Compared with other fertilizer crops,
the COW pea seems to grow especially

urally poor upland clay. which has for
the past fifty years been grown in

these plots COW peas were sown with
out fertilizer The average yield o6
vines and pods was very large, and
