season, the alfalfa did not make SUI
fcient growth to cut for hay, and
sheep were allowed to pasture on it.
The spring OF 1912 was extremely wet.
and as the alfalfa survived in good
condition, it is safe to assume that the
crop can be successfully grown on
this type OF soil IN Cherokee county.
The value OF lining soil for clover
was demonstrated on the same farm
A field that had just been seeded to
clover received an application OF two
thousand pounds Of ground limestone
to the acre. The first cutting produced
at the rate Of one and one half tons
an acre, but because OF the dry season
the clover was pastured with sheep.
The field was the only good clover
field in that locality.

SWAT SPARROW AS A. PEST
The Biological Survey Calls the Com
mon Bird Useless and
Harmful

THE rat of the bird kingdom is the
label attached to the English spar
row by the United States biological
survey.
Sparrows were introduced into
America about so years ago, and have
multiplied with such rapidity that
they are a pest in nearly every part
of the country.
According to the biological survey,
they mot only serve no good purpose,
but consume great quantities of use
full insect life, in addition to millions
of dollars worth Of grain They are
pugnacious and drive away many use
full and ornamental birds. They are
unclean and litter up the premises.
They are said to hatch young every
month in the year, operating the only
automatic incubator in existence, the
young of the preceding hatch incubat-
ing the eggs as they grow to full
fedged sparrowhood.
Nearly every small boy has the in
stinct to kill. Properly directed this
instinct might be allowed to run
through it's natural development with
out being harmful Teach the boys
to confine their shooting to undesir-
able birds. They are few, and the
sparrows is the chief among them.
Teach the boy to set traps only for
birds and animals which ought to be
trapped and destroyed. Encourage
him to catch the mice, the rats and
the sparrows-if possible the minks.
