mon down. Just so long as a man is
content to be a one-horSe foppfi
just so long will he be a poor man.
NV own idea is. that any young man
with good health and strength. if ne
has the brains and energy TO rise
above his condition, can get lana OF
his own in the South today. and can
by practice improve his land and gam

the tenant farmer today is ignorance,
not merely ignorance OF BOOKS, but
ignorance of the best methods for
maintaining the productivenesS OF the
soil and increasing it.
We are trying to help him take the
best means for his own Improvement
and the Improvement of his soil. We
are working for the elevation Of the
poor man, and simply Try to show him

NEW AND QUITE VALUABLE
CLOVER HAY.
BY A. d. McNair and w. b.. MERCER.

LeSpedeZa, or japan clover, is a
native of eastern Asia that was first
found in this country in central Geor-
gia in 1916. It has spread since then
so that it row covers more or less
a~bundantly. the whole area from cen
trail New Jersey westward to central
Kansas and southwark to the Gulf of
Mexico. a common belief exists in
the South that the plant was first in
troduced during the Civil War. This
is though it is doubtless
true that the spread of the plant was
greatly increased during that struggle
by the movements of cavalry.
Lespedeza is a ummer annual that
begins it's growth in the midle part
of spring but does not reach maturity
until September and October. It is
sometimes confused with the yellow
fiowered hop clovers, but is readily
distinguished by its purpIish blossoms
which do not appear until August or
later, while the hop c~lovers bloom
early.
over most of its area ~lespedeza
grows only four to six inches high,
and there has thus arisen the common
idea that it is adapted only to grazing.
Under favorable conditions. however,
especially in the lower Mississippi
valley on certain soils, the plants
grow commonly to a height OF Il
inches. frequently reaching Is inches,
and in exceptional cases "A to 30
inches. Where the stand is very hin
the plants have a PROSTATE habit. but
where it is thick they grow upright.
and the yield of hay from such plants
is large, often exceeding two tons per
acre and exceptionally reaching three
or even four tons per acre.
Under such conditions lespedeza is
a crop Of very high value, which has
become more and more appreciated in
late years, so hat many m now
employ it in regular rotations. It is
not improbable that a wider knoWI-
edge Of the merits Of the crop will
cause it to be more generally Guilt
waited and perhaps over a considera-
bly, wider area.
Under sucl conditions I~espedeza is
a crop of very high value, which has
become more and more appreciated
in late years, SO that many farmers
now employ it in regular rotations.
1t is not improbable that a wider
knowledge of the merits of the crop
Will cause it to be more generally cuI-
tiNated and perhaps ever a consider
ably wider area.
LeSpedeZa grows during practically
the same season as certain other legu-
minous forage crops: i. e..
soy beans. velvet beans and beggaF-

weed. Its d~esirahility in any parti-
cular place will depend upon its
ability to compete with the above
mentioned crops
The value of lespedeza for grazing
was early recognized and II has been
looked upon with high favor as q
constituent of pastures. II grows IN
all types of soil, even the poorest. n
thus furnishes a considerable guam
tity of forage in pine barrens ana IN
grayelly soils where scarcely any othef
plants grow. The natural spread Of
the plant has made it a constituent OF
practically every pasture IN the reSfoi.
covered by its distribution. Every
where it is valued for its ability to
grow in very poor soils. either IN
fields or in open Woodlands, and TO
withstand severe drought. Its value
depends upon its p~aiatablllty, It's hlSn
feeding value, which approaches al
falfa, and its ability TO thrive under
all sorts of conditions, and thus 10
furnish ~pasturage in the ummer n
fall till killed by frosts. 1t Will with.
stand almost any amount Of grazing.
In no sense can il be considered a
weed as it quickly succunbs TO Guilt
walton. Like other %clovers, it some
times causes horses and mules to
~"slobber."
The best pastures in the South are
perhaps those which in summer con
sist of Bermuda grass and le~spedeza.
With the addition of redtOp n bur
clover, sweet clover, or hairy Vetch.
such pastures can be sraZed the year
around, the Bermuda grass and lespe-
deZa growing in summer. the others
mostly in winter. In poor or mixed
pastures leSpedeZa commonly holds
its own With broom sedge anG similar
coarse grasses n unquestionably
adds materially to the grazing. 1t is
perhaps no eNaggeration to state that
it has increased the carrying capacity
of practically all the pasture lard OF
the South by at least 20 per cent.
Lespedeza, like other legumes. ex-
tracts nitrogen from the air through
the BACTERIAL tubercles or nitrogen
balls on the roots. Owing, perhaps
to the occurrence of numerous Amer
lean species of this plant, lespedeza is
nearly always naturally inoculated. It
is advisable, however, when planting
it for the first time in new soils to
provide incubation either by the use
of pure cultures or by the soil-trans-
fer method.
I~esdepeZa is very commonly q con
stituent Of Bermuda grass meadows.
and probably the first lespedeZa cut
for hay was in such a mixture. The
admiXture OF lespedeza III Bermuda
grass is in every way desirable. While
it does not add, perhaps. to the yle1d
of hay, it materially improves tho
quality Such a meadow may persist
for wears. but eventually the ingress
OF WeeOS reduces its value. 1t is sell
dom necessary to SOW the leSpedeza,
as it usually finds its way INTO the
BeTmuda-grasS meadow quickly.

MID-SUMNfEK GARDEN NOTES.

[ have just set the late tomato plants
that are to furnish me tomatoes till
frost and plenty Of gr1 II ones to pack
away for winter riLtning. | have
planted snap beans fOur times and the
last planting is just fairly up. and
am now about to make the fifth plant
ing to succeed these. We want snaps
all the time. summer and winter, and
by packing the latest ones down in
brine We can have them all winter.
Our earliest sweet corn is the Gold-
en- Bantam. 1t is wonderfully rihing
IN appearance, tassels when about
knee-high, and at the best is not taller
than a flour barrel. The ears are
about as long as ones forefnger. but
in quality fer the table there is no
corn that can with it. and
While it hardly seems worth the space
10 grow 1t. We want it after once we
try it. The Early Norfolk corn IS
about as early and much larger in
every way, but it is not a sugar corn.
one advantage is that it can be plant
ed earlier tina the sugar corns. which
are apt to rot in cold ground.
To continue the snap beans season
as long as possible. I have planted a
good lot Of a climbing bean, the Ken
lucky I nave planted these
all around my woven wire fences on
which they can climb. The have not
done much climbing during the dry
weather, but as they We're planted
late. [ have not been expecting much
of them. They are said to be Won
derfully productive.
The early cabbage made very small
heads IN the dry weather. and | am
about to SOW seed for the fall crtD.

Dutch, but will sow also some IF the
Colorado Cross. which is claimed to
be q cross between the W%inningstadr
and Flat Dutch. For later SOWING in
the South, Fottler's Brunswick is an
excellent cabbage. It is Of the Drum
head class and grows very quickly and
can be sowed in August and head in
November or December.
We are eating chard, and any one
who tries chard Will never be without
it for summer grNns. We use it in
two ways: We trim out the leaf stalks
and cook them like asparagus and
serve with drawn butter. Then the

HOG COTS OR INDIVIDUAL
HOUSES.

Whether the large house with mol
vidual pens is better than the individual
cot is an open question. perhaps laTE'-
~ a matter of individual preference.
Each has its distinct advantages
