For these three weeks that l have
not been an editor he said 'I have
been a reader, and so l can tell you
publishers what is wrong with you.
There are too many of you. I can't read
all your magazines. My serious advice
is that as many of you as possible die

10 the Editor of The Age-Herald:
crimson clover is better adapted than
any of the other winter growing le-
gumes for soil Improvement during the
winter season when the land would
otherwise be idle. This is largely on
account of its early maturity. on the
experiment station farm at Auburn we
are usually able to pillow under heavy
growth of crimson clover the first
week in April, or in ample time for
the production of bale or a bale and
hree-auarters of cotton per acre on
.and naturally sandy and thin.
1t Is easy to succeed with crimson
clover, but one point must be con-
stantly stressed-the need for inoeula-
tior. There has often been complaint
that suitable soil for incubation could
not be obtained in all parts of the
state. This is, in large part, a misun-
derstanding, since in almost every
county careful observation made in
April or May reveals the presence Of
some true elovers growing wild, the
soil from which will serve to inoculate
crimson clover.
In order to extend more widely the
knowledge of the wild clovers that are
suited to this purpose, thereby making
the growing of crimson clover a more
general success throughout the state,
the Alabama experiment station sent
out in the spring of 1911. and again
in the spring of 1912, about 500 speci-
mems of two of the most common of
the wild clovers adapted to the inocu-
lation of crimson clover
The two selected as most generally
growing throughout the state were the
Carolina, or annual white clover, and
one of the little hop clovers having
small head of very minute yellow
blooms. This was done in connection
with the crimson clover experiments
which have been conducted by this
station for several years in a number
of counties as part of the local ex-
pertinent work provided for by an act
of the Legislature passed in February,
1911.

CRIMSON CLOVER AND THE
PRESENT STEP TO INSURE

I The point ! would now stress is that

white clover, which Is now dying, and

This Carolina, or annual white clover

ones first finger. The leaflets. of which
three are borne in cluster, are ronndish

would be done, since soil from around this

perennial white clover has also round

The Carolina clover is most apt to be
