GRASSES AND cLovERs.
Introduction.

The subject of the importance of grass in agriculture Is an interesting one. The study of grasses and cloyers is one If the most fascinating studies In the whole list of agricultural topics. In the gen eral discussion here the general term grass means both grass and clover. Later on the two will be treated under separate headings, as we take up and discuss the different varieties. Grass is the founda- tion of all agricultural wealth in all countries, and history fails to show any country anywhere on the globe which every became wealthy from an agricul- tural standpoint until they builded upon this sure foundation This fact was well established in the early history of man kind, and often even the sacred history IS mention made of grass, and here we learn of the patriarchs seeking the plains where more grass pasture was to be found in sufficient abundance to feed their nocks and herds. The wicked King Me- buchadnezzar was banished from his peo- pie and made to eat grass with the beasts; he found green pastures of that wonderful plant, alfalfa. upon which he fed for seven years. The Psalmst David understood this matter well, and 1t brought from his pen that beautiful sentl- ment, "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want his Shepherd because He had provided green pastures growing beside the still waters. In Palestine today, after thousands of centuries have passed since David saw the fiocks feeding upon the green meadows and drew from them ln- spiration for his writing those precious promises, we still find the shepherds lead ing their flocks to the pastures by the still waters, where they may feed upon the green grasses. And later on down the ages the great Teacher said, ''The sheep knew the shepherds voice." thus recog- nizing the value of pasture for the fiocks.
 And so 1t has been through all the ages, the shepherds, the good farmers. are seek ing grasses for their cattle and sheep. Recently while making trip through Old Mexico, I was reminded not only of the beautiful scenes of the early days of ancient Palestine as recorded in sacred history. but was greatly impressed as well with the faithfulness of the shepherds ill caring for their flocks, and in leading them to and from the green pastures. The system of caring for the focks is the same here as 1t was in Palestine years ago. So by careful investigation of this subject we find that the more grass a country has, the more wealth 1t has and the greater is the producing power of the soil.
 Grass properly managed not only feeds the stock and increases the farmers bank accounts, but it also in turn feeds and enriehes the soil. There is no better plan for preserving the plant foods con- tained in the soils than by keeping them shaded with green grass throughout the entire year. How this Is to be accomp- lIshed Is the problem, and 1t is the pur- pose of the writer to give the farmer. in these articles, such information as will enable him who has thus far failed with grasses to succeed hereafter in grow ing ap abundance of grass. There are

COTTON

New York, May 1s.-A growing realiza- ton of the conditions which confront the worlds cotton trade has today resulted in wild market; prices having advanced shortly after the opening some 15 or 20 points. Toward the close heavy liquida- tion, on the part of local traders, whose policy it Is to close the week free of speculative commitments, caused a loss of most of the advance, but the situation has not lost any of it's inherent strength, and I expect still higher prices next week.
 There are few who will have the te- merity to sell the market short, in the face of government report that will probably indicate the lowest condition on record, and may suggest a crop of much under 12,000000 bales, and so far as the immediate present is concerned the deple- tion of American supplies goes on apace. The stock of cotton at all the United States ports last evening was only 50S,000 bales. Of this, 150,000 are in New York and confidently held In the expectation of much higher prices; 107.000 are on ship board not cleared, and at least 15O0O0 are unavailable for the liquidation of con- tract deliveries. There remains, therefore. hardly more than 100000 bales of cotton at the United States ports actually avail able for the uses of the trade.
 The quantity of cotton that is coming forward is daily decreasing. and only comes forward because 1t Is already dis posed of. The reactions which the mar ket is having as 1t reaches from day to day higher levels are incident only to it's healthy progress toward the figure just;- fled by existing conditions which person. ally I believe to he at least 12 or 13 cents a pound, and probably much higher, un- less ideal conditions for the development of crop, already seriously injured. pre- vail uninterruptedIy from now to the end of the growing season.

The Oldest New Yorker.

1t is said that the distinction of being 'the oldest man born in New York and now living in New York" belongs to pr. John B. Rich, who Is now in his ninety seventh year. The doctor ascribes his hale and active condition at that age to the fact that he has always observed the laws of health, and has associated mainly with young people, in whose company he renews his youth. The old, he says, are apt to be grumblers and winners, and to have depressing effect on those about them. The doctor is a pronounced ad- vooate of moderation in diet. He declares that most persons eat fully twice as much as is needed to nourish their bodies

A Typical Woman,s Telegram.

From the Columbus Evening Dispatch.
 A Neil avenue lady was much surprised the other day to receive telegram stat ing that Medium size blue hat with veil will arrive at o'clock" It was signed only with initials. She had not ordered any hats from a distance, and was puzzled. After considerable brain flag, it flashed on her that the message was merely clew to the personal ap- pearance of the niece of an old friend, who was to come to Columbus to attend school, and whom she had promised to meet, If the old friend would give her description, so that she could recog nize her at the staton. She found the medium sized girl, with blue hat, without trouble, at o'clock

Greenville, Ala, May 1, 1907. Agricultural Department, The Age-Her-
 aid. Birmingham.
 Gentlemen:--I would like to know If there is any clover that will grow and do well on gray, sandy land and make winter pasture. My land won't make alfalfa and I want winter pasture. would be glad if MT White would write a short piece and have The Age Herald print it. so that I could know. Yours very truly,
 c. W. WILLIAMSON, R. F. D. No. g.
 In reply to the above letter from MT. Williamson of Greenville, will say that the only grasses that would be at all likely to succeed on gray, sandy soil would be Bermuda and Johnson grass But neither of these would be likely to give you very much winter pasture This also depends upon the character of your subsoil. If your land is underlaid with a godo clay subsoil, you might try orchard grass and Meadow Rescue or eombina- tion of the two However, knowing your soil and climate as 1 do, I would advise that you use Bermuda or Burr clover. This will give you pasture for both win ter and summer, But in your section would not at all think of relying upon grasses alone for winter pasture for there are so many other ways by which you can have fine winter pasture. You can SOW all your fields of corn and cotton to winter rye or to Tennessee winter bar ley or to Black Russian oats, either of which will give you an abundance of fine pasture. The rye or the barley would be better than the oats. Try few acres of this combination for winter pasture. Sow ger acre one and one-half bushels of Tennessee winter barley, twenty pounds of winter vetch and ten pounds of Crimson clover. In case you cannot get the winter barley use one bushel of winter rye per acre instead. I am mail Ing you copy of my bulletin on Grasses and Clovers," which will give you full directions for preparing your soils and for sowing the various grasses. Yours very truly. F. s. WHITE.

 Gentlemen:-I would like to get infor- nation about getting a pasture planted in Bermuda grass for pasture purposes. We have a pasture of seven and one half acres of close clay land that is in- clined to be wet, but lays so that it can be drained We have about three acres of it that has about thirty small oak trees for shade; would they be all right to stay? I also w-nt to know the best wa,- to prepare the land and how much seed to SOW per acre. I also want to SOW one acre in alfalfa this fall. The Ian. is river land of a red, inclined to be a sandy soil and does not overflow The land is in peas. now and will be cut for hay. If you should come to Gads- den any time this year would be glad to see you and show you my farm as I am less than one-half mile of the court house. Yours truly,
 ". T. CHRISTOPHER. Mir. W. T. Christopher. .Gadsden, Ala.
 Dear Sir:-In reply 10 your letter of May ?, will say first regarding the Der muda that the soils should have good under drainage in order for it to sue ceed But few clovers or grasses will thrive with wet feet or in sour soils, that Is, where the subso, holds water. Drainage and lime will correct this con dition As to leaving the trees. I fear that you would not succeed with Der muda in the shade, as 1t is a grass that thrives best In the open air and hot sunshine. If you wish to keep the trees or your land I would advise that you use grass mixture as follows: English Blue Grass. 15 pounds; Awnless Brome grass. IS pounds; Orchard grass, 14 pounds; Perennial rye grass, Ia pounds. This for one acre. The fall is the best time to SOW these grasses in your sec tion. Of course, the success of Bermuda would depend upon the amount of shade that the trees make In case you should SOW to Bermuda, l would advise that in the fall after your Bermuda Is one year old, SOW Burr clover on 1t for winter pasture am mailing you my book on Grasses and Clovers,p which more fully answers your questions. Besides this, it will give you valuable information on clovers and grasses In general In my book on Alfalfa" which | am also send ing you, you will find full directions for sowing same. l thank you for your kind invitation to visit your farm and should take much pleasure In doing so, but I am always very busy. As you will note. l am agricultural and horticultural com missioner of the Rock Island Frisco lines and am out on the line in our educa- tional exhibit car delivering lectures all the time. At this writing I am in Colorado where I find among the farmers great demand for information on grasses and clovers. It Is a question that interests farmers all over our country. I am glad to be able to serve you. Yours very truly
