Crimson clover is liable to ba killed
in hot dry weather coming just after
the seed sprouts and before the roots
are deep enough to reach moist earth.
1t thrives best in cool weather 1t is
not wise to attempt crimson clover in
corn when the weather is very dry
and hot. or III the soil is poorly sup
piled with humus and lime
Where land has been lined and the
corn worked according to our direc-
tons on good land. and has in it n good
supply OF stored moisture and fertility,
SOW twenty pounds of good crimson
clover seed and work it in with the
fourteen-inch cultivator.
combination of rye and Grim son
clover is best adapted for late seeding
in tobacco fields after the early tobacco
is cut. The rye Is very certain to grow
and protects the clover against winter,
killing one may seed this between
September 10 and 70 This makes good
grazing for hogs and sheep in early
spring and furnishes a good sod to
turn under for corn. tomatoes, melons
or potatoes, or as a preparation for
grass and alfalfa
Ground limestone, applied before SOW
ing the crimson clover seed. Is Of great
value for these soils: will often double
the growth of crimson clover and con-
quent crops. Two tons to an acre is n
fair application. but even one ton will
show marked increase in crops for
some years. Ground limestone of high
grade can now pc purchased in carload

at present.
When crimson clover is sown for hay
the white blooming variety makes
better quality of hay than the crimson.
g as a cover crop to SOW after early
potatoes or i'll cultivated orchards,
nothing is better than combined crop
OF COW horn turnips and crimson clover
one pound OF turnip seed and fifteen
pounds of crimson clover TO the acre.
The turnip is Il wonderful plant to di-
gest the crude potash and phosphate
in the soil and render it available for
succeeding crops and makes fine pas
ture for hogs and sheep in late fall and
winter. This would lie fine combina-
ton for tobacco fields ii the seed could
be properly put in during the first or
second week in August. 1t is also ex-
cellent for tomato or melon patches.
The cover crop grows most after frost
has killed the vines.
Where the land has been lined and
given "A liberal dressing of phosphate
for corn. tomatoes. tobacco or melons,
and il is desired to prepare the land
Tor alfalfa or grasses, one can seed at
the last working combination OF
clover and alfalfa-ten pounds OF each
TO the acre-with the expectation of
securing good hay crop the next
spring, and then prepare the land thor
oGghly and seed TO alfalfa or grass In
August.

AS many farmers in the vicinity of
Richmond have been waiting for Just
such rain as We have had TO SOW
crimson clover between the rows in
their cornhcld, and to pillow under cow
peas or grain stubble for the same
purpose. and to prepare for alfalfa and
grass seeding, / would like again to
remind those who think of sowing
crimson clover with the view of making
early hay, that on land that would
bring say thirtyfive bushels or more
OF shelled corn per acre n crop Of hay
OF Tar better quality. that Will yield
twice the weight OF dry hay, can be
grown with just a little extra expense
for labor and fertilizer. If sown at this
time or during this month, and would
be ready to cut about as early or with
In a very short time after the crimson
clover. This formula was given in my
letter on crimson clover in The
Times Dispatch of last week, and re-
ferred to as introduced rs r. q. Sandy,
but slight error had crept in relative
to the quantity OF clover and alfalfa
seed to be sown, hence my desire TO
have this formula reprinted. l will
give il again in the quantities Mr.
Sandy advises and uses himself: 1t is
enc and n quarter bushels OF winter
oats. six pounds of early red clover,
with five pounds OF alfalfa. per acre

sown too early they may Joint before

section. After the crop has been cut

accomplish it in the fall. The work
of organizing the State is necessarily
slow, as the women do not understand
what the work is. IL the local papers
would write editorials on the work
OF the league 1t would stimulate an
interest and create a desire to have
our State organized, SO that we could
get concerted action throughout the
State and be of great assistance In
creating home market fer home pro-
ducts and bringing about proper con-
ditions. The local papers might also
CO operate with the Bureau OF Mar
kets by giving very low cooperative
advertising rates. Then the produce
desired AMI the product for sale could
be advertised in those papers. There
is no doubt that this would be profit
able to the press in an increased cir
culation. For what housekeeper would
not subscribe to a paper If she could
get quotations OF the food supplies she
purchases every day, and what farmer
or farmers wife would not buy a
paper to tind out what supplies were
needed in each locality?"
