Much Hay Shipped In

BY the census OF 1910 / lind that
there are 1901 head of work stock in
Jefferson county. BY calculation l find
that il requires 1874 tons of hay to
feed these work animals during the
Year. From the census reports l find
that S629 acres of the county is given
over to hay production and on this
acreage there is produced something
like 6940 tons of hay. This is at the
rate of 10 tons to the acre. We pro-
duce then about one-third of the hay
, which is consumed. We have to shin
in 92l4 tons. which surely costs us
not less than $12.50 per ton. Thus
something like S115,175 is lost annual
ly to the district in this one article
alone. on the basis of 19 tons per
acre it would only require that S5D9
additional acres be put into meadows
in order to supply this amount which
now comes from foreign markets.
But why is it that we do not look
more closely to this matter? 1t surely
| cannot be because we have tried il
and found the soil unsuitable. [ drive
through Jones valley, then north
through Opossum valley, then over into
Cahaba valley and everywhere in the

but its period of usefulness is entire
ly too short But growing along with
TINS virginia clover / find a meagre
scattering of white Dutch clover. This
Is better than the Virginia for it covers
a longer period of growth.
| Then. too, here and there appears set
| tinss of the red clover this year some
what intermixed with the buffalo. And
with this | am constrained to ask my
self the question, why, if under ad-
verse circumstances, we find the small
unimportant clovers so thclxly cover
ing the ground, will not, with a lit
| tie attention, the better clovers prove
| success? From the fact that the
clovers appear so bountifully I con-
clude that the soil must be peculiarly
| fitted to their growth. | suspect that
the soil must be of limestone origin,
| and this fact is further strengthened
| by the growth of cedars which | find.
| Upon looking the matter up l find the
| following:
| TN origin the Hagerstown loan is a
residual soil. 1t is derived through de-
composition and filtration from the
Knox dolomite and Coosa shales for
| nations. The more soluble parts of
| the limestone have disappeared. leaving
only the insoluble residue to make the
present soil"
1t is barely possible that a great
deal of the lime has been leached out
! of this soil. If such is the case the
fault may be very easily remedied by
| the application of from 1000 to 1900
| pounds of basic Stag to the acre. This
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

is a byproduct which carries about 10
per cent phosphoric acid and 50 per
cent of lime. 1t can be obtained from
the open hearth furnaces at little cost.
Lespedeza and Alfalfa
I have called attention to the growth
of clovers on this Hagerstown loan.
l feel that | would be sighting this
soil type If I neglected to call at
tention to the wonderful growth of
Japanese clover or lespedeza, which is
found growing during the summer on
the poorer drained lowlands This plant
compares very favorably in feeding
value with alfalfa, being richer in car
bohydrates and fats and almost as rich
in protein.
Lespedeza-1S.7 20 per cent protein,
1852 per cent carbohydrates; 3.99 per
cent fat
Alfalfa--14.2S per cent protein; 42.6S
per cent carbohydrates; 2.15 per cent
fat
1t is said that with good stand of
lespedeza for every five inches that one
can cut the yield will be at the rate
of ton per acre. But there is one
serious defect with lespedeza and that
late in the spring. This allows of an
abundant growth of the early annual
weeds the dead stems of which seri-
ously affect the quality of the hay. To
remedy this condition is a very simple
matter. After the lespedeza is cut in
the fall SOW red top on the land and
lightly brush it in. Red top will grow
during the cool weather of fall and
early spring. BY June L it will be waist
high and ready to cut for hay. After
the cutting of the red top the lespe
deza will come so that a cutting
of mixed red top and lespedeza hay can
be taken in the fall
Two cuttings are thus taken from
land which formerly produced but one
cutting. EVIL companionship Is as
harmful in the plant world as 1T is
in the social world. 1t Is much bet
ter to make companions of two useful
plants than to allow useful plant
to be sujected to the communicating in
fluences of harmful ones.
The area of this Hagerstown loan as
surveyed is given as 24,76s acres.
have pointed out that $500 acres ad-
ditional meadow would furnish the hay
that is now shipped in to us. II this
"a, 76S acres were properly cared for
they would more than. supply the de-
mand-in addition they would furnish
much pasture of the best grade. This
area would then become valuable for
the dail yman whose occupation makes
pasturage one of the essentials of sue
cess. With the growth of elovers
would come a greater incentive to-
ward pork production. for to make
pork economically a pasture is ne
cessity, and no pasture eXcells clover
in this line of farming.

Want Back to Nature
Perhaps it is that indefinable back
to nature tendency of recent years
that has carried many persons to the
suburbs. At any rate, hundreds of
people daily inspecting the various
suburban districts with view of hav-
| ing home where they may gets lots
| of fresh air uncontaminated with dust,
reyel in the joys of big front yard
and still have enough ground at the
| rear of the lot for a garden spot.
| These people are studying the problem
of reducing living cost in a practical
, manner.
One of the most popular spots for
suburbanites is along the routes of
the two interurban systems. The Steel
City enjoys unexcelled street car IA
cilities, and the ridges between Bir-
mingham and that city offer unexcelled
opportunities to the man who wants a
combination of city and country life.
AS yet, the prices asked for lots are
not beyond the price of the ordinary
mans pocl<etbook, and as result this
portion of the city is proving very
popular.
For those who desire even greater
space the lines to Bessemer have proven
quite popular. Truck gardens and
country homes dot the entire valley
from Birmingham to Bessemer and the
indications are that this property will
enhance in value even more rapidly in
the future than it has in the past. There
are already two interurban lines to
Bessemer and third is now being con-
structed.
Fairfield a Notable Example
Perhaps the most wonderful example
of an ideal suburban section is Fair
field, the industrial city which sprang
up almost over night on the outskirts
of Ens1ey. This city was built at
cost of 100000 and has more than
20 miles of paved streets and a similar
amount of cement sidewalks The resi-
dence section is provided with storm

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
NEW HAVEN AT 75 IA
Railroad Stock Continues Weak or
 Stock Exchange.

New York. Nov 14-At the end of a day of mixed price movements and considerable confusion in speculative sentiment the principal stocks showed net gains of fair proportions. Business was almost entirely professional. The improvement late yesterday, based on the hopeful utterances of the president on the Mexican situation, was contin-
 ued in the early trading today Ad- vices regarding Mexico were conflict ing, however, and the market gradual
 ly fell back until the early rise was
 lost. Late in the session the market picked up again until it came close to the earlier high level
 The readiness with which the market yielded after the opening raise was due in part to the desire of traders to real ize on holdings of long stocks. Support recently has come principally from purchases by the shorts, ana the market has been so unstable that bulls are dis posed to sell whenever they have a profit, rather than attempt to force a further rise. Foreign buying was an important influence. Large purchases of Steel, Union Pacific and AmaIga- mated were made for foreign account the balance on the buying side being perhaps 90, 900 shares. The brisk rise here at the opening was due largely to the advance in American stocks in London.
 New Haven was weak again. reach ing a new low level at 75 1-4. The Southern Pacific strike caused the stock to drag behind, and Missouri Pa cific was affected by a continuance of the selling which has been in progress for several days. Assets Realization dropped three points, extending its de- cline this week to II points.
 Bonds showed an improved tone. To- tai sales, par value, $1730000. United States fours advanced 1-2 on call.
