summer house on the front lawn.
When established we simply could not
confne it to the summer house, and
after clipping the lawn the dead leaves
out and my wife planted three roots
about an old brush pile, hoping that it
might hide it from view. This was in
the spring of 1904. In 1905 it had
reached a partition fence on the south;
the barn and lot on the west; the drive
to the barn on the north and the
garden on the east
1t was then that [ began to suspect
it's value, as my horse never let it get
through the fence. He even got down
on his knees and reached out under the
bars for every new leaf that appeared.
I wrote to the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, about it. The re-
ply came that 1T had no poisonous
properties that they knew of," and
1T might be Of some value as feed if
stock would only eat it" The latter
question, my horse had already settled,
and as to there being poisonous proper
ties, [ soon learned to have no tears,
and now consider 1T the most wonder
fu1 and most valuable acquisition that
could be put on any farm, in the South.
Just how far north it will succeed as
it does here, remains to be tried, but
it is hardy in Philadelphia.
Being a perennial, it needs to be
planted but once, and only cultivated
the first year, and when established,

ing a field divided into three or four
lots, turning from one to another when

pasture many more head of stock on
the same area than if they were allowed

beans or COW peas, and if they should
injure them they quickly sprout up

2S feet long, with half a dozen side
branches, that was less than three
weeks old. If allowed to grow the en-
tire season, these trailerS make
growth of IS feet or more by frost.
AS explained above, the vine is
perennial but not evergreen, and takes
root wherever joint touches the bare
ground, the leaves and tender ends be-
ing killed by heavy frosts and freezing.
SO far as known, the Kudzu vine
never seeds in America, but is propa-
gated by planting rooted joints some
vines, but on level ground instead OF
ridges, and farther apart, say IN every
other corn row and five feet apart in
the rows, Or even a greater distance
would do.
1t was while digging these rooted
vines that I discovered what great
number of nitrogen nodules their root
! lets produce, illustrated in one of the
accompanying pictures Of the other
photos one shows the patch (5ox8o
fee), March S, 1907 with all previous
years growth cleaned off and a new
growth Of runners 10 feet long An
other is a view of the same patch taken
in June, looking down the five foot
poultry netting fence (shown in other
'picture), and illustrating, on the left,
how we'll the neighbors' horses like it,
while beyond and back of the man,
the vines stand three feet above the
same fence.
| I exhibited two bales of this hay at
the Gulf Coast and Florida State fairs
last year, and this year they were ex-
hibited at Jamestown, by the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, and they have
attracted much interest wherever
shown
In manner of growth, the Kudzu
vine so closely resembles the velvet
bean as to be mistaken for it by most
people who see it, the chief difference
being that the leaflets Of the velvet
bean leaf are entire while the middle
leahet Of the Kudzu is three-lobed and
the side leaflets are unequally two
lobed, as may be seen in picture No. 3.
The flowers are a beautiful purple,
borne in crowded racemes, similar to
! the wistarias, and fill the air with their
/ fragrance.
So far as | know there is none Of this
vine in Florida or in the South, outside
of Chlpley, except what [ have sent
out for trial in the past year.
The fully matured vines become
woody and produce fibre very tough
in it's nature, which may prove most
valuable as an article of manufacture
! In conclusion, allow me to predict
future for the Kudzu vine, equal to that
) of cotton, as a matter of importance to
the Southern farmer and stock ra1ser.

HEIR FOR QUEEN
W|LHELM|NA
cHlLDLESS RULER OF THE
NETHERLANDS OBJECTS, BUT
STATESMEN INSIST THREE
CANDIDATES ARE lNTHE FIELD.

THE HAGUE, March 27.-The
Dutch people are showing intense
anxiety over the question OF the royal
succession since the prospect of Queen
Wilhelmina dying without children Is
no longer remote. The queen objects
to the matter being discussed, but her
ministers insist that 1t will be neces.
sary TO name provisional heir to the
throne.
OF the three princes who hope to
sit on Wilhelmina's throne, son of
the Prince Zu Wied, brother Of the
queen of Romania, is the least un-
popular. The elder Prince Zu Wied
Is a son OF Nassau princess, which
adds to the regularity or succession,
Wilhelmina being the last OF the
younger line OF the house OF Nassau.
The prince Of Zu WED also recon-
mends himself to the people OF the
Netherlands because, though serving
In the Prussian army, he does not
parade his military affiliations.
No Germans for Them,
On the other hand, because Prince
ilcuiy A6<Nii. anu ftCuiy NAniii. vi
Reuss, who are likewise candidates
for the Dutch throne, have visited
Queen Wilhelmina repeatedly In full
|regimentals, the first wearing the uni.
form of the Germany navy. the other
that OF lieutenant of Prussian Ora
goons, the Netherlanders are violently
opposed TO them, thinking that II a
Reuss becomes king OF the Neither
lands he may try to introduce German
army methods.
Prince Henry XXXII. Is thirty years
old, his brother Twenty-Five. The lat
ter is attached to the German embassy
In Paris.
The claim OF these two princes to
the Dutch crown is through their mo-
Their, Marie, Princess Saxe-Weimar.
One reason for Dutch anxiety is the
report persistently spread by the Brit
ish Press that Emperor William OF
Germany has designs on Holland and
would take the failure OF the success
sion as a signal to attempt to unity
the Netherlands with the German EN-.
pire.
