first of April. Since that time the clover has
grown to a height of two feet, and Is now matur-
ing seed. / believe it is the most promising crop
we have found for winter grazing and soil I'M
provement, especially in rotation with cotton and
corn. To show its value for soil Improvement,
our experimental plat which had this crop on it
last year, and on which cotton followed, yielded
four hundred pounds more seed cotton per acre
and without any nitrogen Cor ammonia) in the
fertilizer, than a corresponding plat ~fertllized
with four pounds of a complete fertilizer, which
cost 40 per cent more than the fertilizer given to
the Burr clover area. We find that the burr con-
tanning the seed of this clover always carries the
bacteria for the incubation of the crop. We have
found that this same bacteria inoculates alfalfa.
We planted a small area in alfalfa on the Burr
clover land last winter and now have good, Ugor-
Gus plants, well inoculated, ON the soil. We are
using the Burr clover soil at Edgecombe to inocu-
late our alfalfa. It has been questionable as to
whether or not alfalfa could be grown on the
Eastern sandy lands. Two acres of>this crop
put out last spring is now in splendid condition.
we'll inoculated, and gives every promise of being
an entire success. / think a thin seeding of the
Burr clover with alfalfa, or else preceding alfalfa
by Burr clover to inoculate the soil, will solve
the problem of getting the proper bacteria in the
soil for alfalfa and at small cost and trouble.
This is the prime consideration in the growing of
this crop. Our experiments in this line, I consid-
err, make it now easy for us to get this inocula-
ton"

CROPS AMI THE o
State Biologist Mccarthy on the Moons Influence.

State Biologist Gerald Mccarthy has sent the
following letter to an inquirer concerning the in
fuence of the moon ON early truck crops:
"Dear Sir:-In regard to the influence of moon
light upon growing crops, permit me to offer the
following remarks:
"The moon is an absolutely dead world. 1t has
neither atmosphere nor life. It's so-called light
is merely the reflected light of the sun. 1t re-
fleets no appreciate heat. The only direct infu-
ence of the moon upon mundane affairs is that
exerted upon the tides of the ocean, due to the
force of gravitation.
Moonlight nights are, however, apt to be cloud
less nights. In early spring-time the tempera-
ture of the lower air after the sun goes down gen
orally sinks to near the freezing point. On cloud
less nights the earth radiates into the sky much
of the heat absorbed during the day.
"This radiation and loss of heat may reduce the
temperature of the lowermost stratum of air to
below the freezing point-32 degrees F., and we
have frost-which may kill tender veoetation. If,
instead of a clear sky, we had a sky overcast by
clouds, the heat radiated from the earth would
be reflected back again from the clouds and by
this means the temperature of the lower air would
be kept above the freezing point. We thus see
that the moon is not the real or efficient agent in
producing or warding off frosts. 1t merely records
is a blanketlike covering of cloud"

We are glad to see our farmers improving their
mich cows by buying in better mixers and driv-
ing their scrub stock to the butcher. There is
practically no difference between the cost of keep
ing a Jersey and a scrub, while the returns in
butter are wide apart. And the Jersey has some
value on the market. We have just read in the
London Live Stock Journal of three sales in that
country. The first consisted of thirty-six head at
an average of 1920 per head, the second seventy
one head at an average of $40 per head, and
the third twenty-nine head at 1905 per head. How
much better than ,$12 to $15 at the butcher'slL
