CLOVER sOWN IN AUGUST.

Glover land intended for summer
sowing should be plowed so as to start
the weeds, then as soon as they begin
to grow we'll they should be narrowed
to death and care should be taken
that they stay dead.
Clover can be sown in August on
soil that is light and andy as the late
summer rains will, as a rule, keep the
ground in good condition. When the
ground is in first-class condition there
should be applied about 10 bushels of
air-slacked lime and ,ort 100 pounds
Of sulphate Of potash per acre. Just
before seeding the land it should be
narrowed, or cultivated and narrowed.

The seeding should not De done

There are many varieties of each

those Of the bush form. l grew the
King of the Garden. one of the large
pole varieties, for several years and
found it very good as to yield and

I next tried Salem Improved Lima
and found it to be better ,earer and
one of equally good flavor, as the King
Of the Garden. Now we have the
Giant Podded Pole Lima Ind the Ever

The pole Limas are better yielders
than the bush variety, but there is
more labor attached in growing the

tent.
I find that the best method of grow
ing Lima beans is to use trellis. In
constructing these trellises, the end
posts should be set deeply and well
braced. The bottom wire may be Of
number IL or IA (any light wire will
do), but the top one must be Of num-
Der or 10, as the weight of the vines
Is great.
Brace the end posts well and set
small posts every 10 or 15 feet and
staple the wires to these. When more

EARLIER SELECTION Of SEED CORN
GOOD PRESERVATION OF SEED CORN INCREASES
PRODUCTIVENEsS MANY BUSHELS PER ACRE.

Great progress has been made In
recent years in more general adop-
! tion Of fall selection instead Of spring
selection of seed corn, but there Is
room for still greater progress.
Nearly all farmers should select
| their seed corn three to four weeks
earlier than they do. In the South
seed corn should be selected and dried
during August, in the North early In
Septem Der, and no prudent corn farm
er anywhere in the United States Will
allow October Is to pass without hav-
ing sufficient seed for at least one
years planting stored where 1t can
not be injured by unfavorable or un-
expected weather conditions. Where
seed patch is not maintained and
seed must be selected from the gem
eral field it should be selected before
the corn is cut and shocked. Where
corn Is husked from the standing stalk
the seed should be selected several
husk and crib.
1t is doubtful whether the governor
Of each Of the corn-producing states
could issue more valuable procla-
nation each year than one proclaimtng
suitable week for all farmers of the
state to gather and dry seed corn.
AS an excuse for not having good
seed it is customary to state that the
season was exceptional. Such seasons
will continue to occur. and the only
way to escape loss is by being prepared
each year for an exceptional year
Last year was a very adverse season
in some of the corn states; consequent
ly this past spring it was necessary to
import seed corn into those sections
Nevertheless. we'll acclimated and un-
lquestionably higher yielding seed could
have been selected last September
from fields in those same states. This
statement is made with full knowledge
of the facts. because at that time such
seed was selected and dried in those
very sections that was practically per-
feet and terminated 100 per cent.
Having personally assisted In the
gathering and drying Of seed corn in
those sections in September, the writer
knows that quantities Of seed could
have been saved at,that time from the
same and many other fields. Unfor-
tunately. however, most farmers post
poned the selection until freezing
weather, with the consequence that
the seed will not yield we'll and most
Of it did not germinate we'll. It's not
the season so much as the man.
! There are usually a few days be-
| tween the time the corn stops growing
and the coming Of frosts. especially If
an acclimated corn is grown. We
would have better corn yields and
make better progress In originating
and acclimating higher yielding strains
Of corn for different localities If seed
corn were as readily killed by frosts
as are sweet potato vines. II seed corn
would not stand so much abuse and II
It were killed outright by the first frost
farmers would dry their seed corn be-
I fore they dig their potatoes, and the
next years crop would be better.
The blame can not be Justly shifted
upon the season. It is the farmer who
fails to do his part. Corn has been
transported from land of perpetual
