needs of the Southern farmer and
stockman. The solution of these
problems will lead to the easy solu-
ton of others. This subject is a
hobby of mine and has commanded
my best attention. Prof. w. ]. Spill
man, of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, Washington, says l am doing
more with winter legames than any
man he has seen in the South. In
giving my experience and observa-
tion along this line l shall try to be
as practical as possible.
There are reasons why we should
SOW some rye, barley, oats, or wheat,
even when we have the legumes,
either separately or mixed with the
clovers and vetches. They can be
sown, some earlier and later, and
will give grazing before the legumes
are ready; then, too, the process,
even at the best, is a little slow in
getting winter legumes established
over the whole farm; it may be
lack of means, seed, incubation, or
experience,-and the last is proba-
bly, the most important.
No one should be satisfied to grow
the small grains altogether, as winter
cover crops; the legumeS have de-
cided additional advantages.
1t is we'll to try several plants
again and again until we find what
is best suited to our farm and con-
ditions. Vetch may prove best for
one, crimson clover for another, and
bur clover for third; yet it is
easily possible to have failures OF all
of these at first, particularly of vetch
and crimson clover. I have made
failure with the last, though l have
soWn it three successive years on the
same piece of land, but a neighbor
had splendid success with the second
years sowing.
Professor Spillman, who is an au-
thority on grasses and clOvers, says
crimson clover does best from the
Carolinas to Jersey. That it might
grow we'll elsewhere we know, but,
as with alfalfa, many failures have
been made. incubation is necessary
anu even Cu6u IL uO6S uOI dl w dyo
prove successful. The procuring OF
seed and annual sowing is an objec-
ton, but it is a good soil builder and
a fair hay and grazing plant.
Vetch is one of our best hay plants
and is not appreciated as it should
and will be. incubation is necessary
(soil from the English pea row can
be used) but it is easier and more
certain than with crimson clover.
Hairy vetch is little late to be fol-
lowed by cotton, but will not be for
other crops, and is fine on Johnson
grass hay lands, though it will hard
ly be best to defer cutting until it
natures seed. Oregon vetch is good,
but not so hardy. Augusta vetch is
fine for hay, grazing and soil build
ing. 1t does not yield as much hay
as the other two, but is earlier and
easily re-seeds itself. To get seed
for a start is the problem with it, as,
the seed ripen one pod at time,
burst open and fall to the ground.
They are not gathered and put on the
market anywhere. With vetch, the
best of hay can be obtained easily
and cheaply on every farm. Augusta

BULLS PUSHED
THE PRICES UP
Stock Market Took on New
Life Under !; the !l J.. Upward
Influence

New York. March 15.-The stock
market awoke today from it's long
period of inactivity. and, under the
inspiring influence of an aggressive
pull moment, prices advanced almost
buoyantly.
The movement was broader and
more active than for some time past.
Buying orders apparently came from
quarters which are popularity asso-
ciatea with some Of the more import
ant factors IN financial affairs and
there was some revi<al, also, Of in
Vestment demand. Most Of the buying
seemed to be for the long account, al
though as the day wore on there were
increasing symptoms of distress
among traders on the short side who
We're forced to cover extensively at
constantly advancing figures.
The east with which prices were
marked up and the contraction in the
supply Of loanable stocks apparently
bore out the assumption that the mar
Aet had been oversold. Demand slack
ened- In the afternoon and the market
became comparatively dull
Prices eased OH somewhat toward
the close In response to profit taking
but soon recovered and the greater
part Of the days gains we're main
tained advances Of the better known
issues ranging usually from one to
two points.
There were several influences which
were helpful to the market. Perhaps
the most potent to the obvious bullish
factors was the February foreign trade
report which was given, out last night.
Although the value of exports reached
the largest total in the history of the
country, imports did not fall OF as
had been expected in some quarters
as result Of possible tariff revision
In the near future. The balance in
favor Of this country, however, was
sufficiently large to add extensively
to American credits abroad.
The indifference with which the
market yesterday received word Of
the supreme court decision upholding
the corporation tax law encouraged
bullish operators. Conditions in the
money market continued to favor
flotation of new capital, and the readi-
ness with which several. new issues
were absorbed gave further impetus
to the days activities.
The metal stocks which Of late have
Jagged behind, were active and strong
today. United States steel was in
steady demand at higher prices, and
amalgamated copper made its best
gain Of many days.
Other copper shares established
good gains, the market for the copper
group being stimulated by the fota-
tion of the amalgamated bond issue
to take over the selling agency Of
several. copper companies. Traders
bought the stocks on the theory that
elimination Of the commission to this
agency would enhance the profits Of
the producers. American tobacco was
especially strong, both tho bonds aud
preferred stock improving In price
while the common stock continued the
rapid advance which had been Q fea-
ture Of tho curb market recently.
Canadian Pacific again made . new
high record.
Pittsburg reported another advance
in the price Of tin plate. Some grades
of pig iron also are being held for
higher rates. ~
