CRIMSON CLOVER WITH CORN
Leoume Is Valuable Both for Grazing
and It's Power Of Depositino
Nitrogen In Soil.

by GREGOR H. GL1TZKE. Kansas)
The value of crimson clover sown
In a corn field after the last cultiva-
ton is not known to the average
farmer as it should be.
This Is legume that Is very valu-
able both as crop for grazing and
its power of depositing a1rich supply
Of nitrogen in the ground, which will
increase to a great extent the yield Of
the crop that follows it.
As crimson clover is winter va
riety, it can be sown in the corn field
after the last cultivating and even
as late in the fall as August and Sep
TENDER.
1t will make quick growth and will
not injure the corn by drawing nutri-
ments from the soil that the corn
should have, as the corn is
practically matured before the
clover starts to use the plant food
from the ground to any extent worth
speaking OF, and almost from the
start 1t begins to deposit nitrogen in
the soil, thus returning more plant
food to the soil than it takes there
from
1t will also keep the late crop Of
weeds down. These late weeds usual
~ do great deal of harm by drain
Ing on the soil without returning any
thing to 1t and also by scattering a
good supply of seed which will make
much work and trouble the following
year.
Why not SOW broadcast from IL to
Is pounds Of crimson clover seed per
acre over the field and prevent this
growth Of weed and reap great
benefit from the clover
After the corn Is husked In the fall
the clover will produce a wealth of
grazing for the stock as they are
clearing the corn field. It will make
tnem slick and fat, and if the dairy
nerd can get this treat the returns in
Inc milk pail will more than repay the
venture. 1t will also furnish good
grazing in the early spring up to the
ume when 1t is turned under.

.RANKERs URGE GOOD ROADS
county Associations Being Formed for
the Discussion Of Rural High
way improvement.

The present-day activities OF bank
ers' associations IN the cause of voca.
tional education and highway improve
ment will bear rich fruit In results.
occasionally this work awakens dis
cordant note, resentful Of effort in be-
half of the farmer, but right-minded
farmers value such aid. The Illinois
State Bankers association has be-
stirred itself vigorously in both fieltls,
and laid plans which will work re-
suits. County bankers associations
are being formed throughout the state.
and both rural education and highway
Improvement will be discussed before
these associations in way that will
set forth the problem and the best
means of approaching it locally.
Highway improvement means the
expenditure of money, and road COM
missioners will listen to the counsel
of bankers on this subject with willing
ear In order to counsel wisely the
local banker must be Informed, and a
thorough discussion of good roads and
the specific problems that confront
each community. will qualify the BAN
ker to reason with the road commits
sioner. From personal work Of this
character the most beneficial action 10
certain to ensue.
Bankers who approach this problem
intelligently will urge on the commits
sioners the use Of the road roller and
road drag in building and maintaining
highways. ThI financial argument
can be effectively brought to bear, as
more money can be saved in road
building and maintenance by the use
of the roller and drag than in any 9TH
er way. Their use works real econ
omy. When taxpayers come to under
stand how much more durable either
a dirt or gravel road may be made by
use of the steam roller, and how much
more cheaply it may be kept in repair
by road drag, they will demand that
Investments be made In these imple-
ments. The old-fashioned way OF
dumping lose gravel or crushed stone
on country road and calling it Job
is a childish procedure in he1ight OF
modern methods.-Breeders Gazette.

Poisonous snakes are all attractive

They are different from all other
snakes in that they have well devel-

The venomous snake can always be
