CRIMSON CLOVER.
A Crop on Every Claiborne County
Farm Would Double Yield
in One Year.

The failure of the weevil to do
material damage in the delta is due
in large measure, no doubt, TO the
fertility of the land, made SO by
periodical overhows In the hill
section we have not this method of
restoring terulity to the soil, but
we may do it at far less than
an overflow costs the delta. One
crop of crimson clover will double
the productiveness of the soil; and
where crop of clover is planted
for two or three years, marvellous
results follow. Clover seed cost
less than dollar per acre, and
this cost will be paid back ten fold

who would feel the absence of such
experience from their weekly lives

by the increased yield of the fol.
lowing crop. This does not take
into account the value OF the clov.
er as late winter pasture.
/. M. Taylor has twenty acres
of corn, planted June Ist, most of
which will yield so bushels per
acre. This land was much poorer
than the average run of land before
clover was planted upon it. In
addition to increasing its fertility,
the clover has made the land mel
low and easy to work. Why can't
other lands be built up and made
more valuable?
It every tilIable acre of Claiborne
county was planted in clover in
September, the county would be
revolutionized, and the weevil
would no longer be a factor to be
reckoned with.
September and October are the
months during which the clover
should he planted. The quicker
the seed is secured the better. AL
ready nearly 1000 pounds of seed
have been engaged at Port Gibson
alone. We wish the amount was
1000 bushels.
