Hulled seed may be sown by a grain

A firm seed bed is desirable, and espec-
ial care should be taken to cover the
seed thinly. Under most conditions
broadcasting will be found most salts

with a light harrow. Where moisture
conditions are entirely favorable good
stands have frequently been obtained
by merely scattering the seed on the
surface, but whenever practicable, the
narrowing is recommended.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 27.-Ths
value of bur clover as fertilizer as
a forage crop is becoming more appre-
ciated in section where the winters are
mild according to new bulletin OF
oT the United States department OF
ooriculture. Each year it can be de-
nended upon to add humus and nj
t,ogen TO the soil without sacrihcing

SPOTTED BURR CLOVER IS
GOOD FORAGE CROP FOR THE
SOUTH WITH WONDERFUL AID

In the South it is the cheapest legume
preventing the washing of the soil. In
addition to it's value for this purpose,
it furnishes some pasturage and i'm
proves the soil. By the use of bur
clover alone many instances are re-
ported where the cotton crop has been
materially increased each season. One

Of the advantages of bur clover over
most other legumes is the fact that
good stands can often be obtained from
year to year without additional seed
ing. On pasture lands, when once es-
tablished bur clover will reseed it
self indefinitely.
The spotted or Southern bur clover
is the variety best adapted to condi-
tions in the South, and gives satisfac-
tory results in South Carolina, Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana
and sections of Virginia, North Caro-
lima. Florida, Texas, Arkansas and
Oklahoma.
Directions For Sowing the Seed.
Bur clover should always be sown
in late summer or fall. In the cotton
states, the best time for seeding rs in
the month of September, out it may be
seeded in August, and seedlings as late

The Soil-Transfer Method.

The soil-transfer method is the sur
est known way to secure the inocula-
ton of any legume. The soil should be
taken from a spot where bur clover Is
growing successfully or from fields of
alfalfa, yellow trefoil or melilotus. The
same germ inoculates all four of these
plants, so that soil from near the roots
of any one will inocuiate the others.
The soil should be taken from ire top
8 inches and broadcasted over the area
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-10-27

When the seed is sown in the bur,
broadcasting is the only practicable
method. 40 obtain full stand by this
method, from 3 to bushels of seed
per acre are necessary, followed by a
narrowing.
In the regions, however, which are
we'll adapted to bur clover, it is much
more economical as rule to begin
with light seeding and to depend in
subsequent years on the volunteer crop
where this is practicable.
incubation Advisable in South.
In the cotton states apparently lack
of incubation has often been the cause
of failure in establishing bur clover
crops, especially where hulled seed
were sown. Usually when seed is sown
in the bur there are enough bacteria in
the dust on the burs to insure inocula-
ton. 1t is desirable, however, in plant
ing bur clover for the first time that
farmers do not go to the expense of
purchasing a large quantity of seed,
but that they plant comparatively
small area, inoculating the soil either
by the soil-transfer method, or in the
absence of inoculated soil, by the use
of pure cultures. When once a patch
o. bur clover has been grown success
fully on farm the whole farm can
easily be inoculated by scattering soil
from the places where the bur clover
grew successfully.

PEOPLE INVITED
CONSIDER ROAD
BOND ELECTION
ISSUE MAY BE PLACED BEFORE
VOTERS.

The county commissioners of Sub
ter met Thursday morning in special
session for the purpose of considering
proposition made by prominent citl-
zens relative to bond issue for road
building, the suggestion having in
view the buildingof county roads, and
also assistance in the construction of
the proposed railway traversing the
eastern portion of the county to the
river.
The imperative need for such ac-
ton was stressed in speeches made by
members of the canvassing committee,
named recently at a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, and the COM
missioners were very favorably I'M
pressed with the proposition submit
ted.
The suggestion was that an election
be called wherein the voters of the
county would determine an issue of
bonds in the sum of 100000 for the
purposes mentioned
While in the opinion of several
members of the board of commission
ers, and of the committee in attend
ance upon the meeting, that the pro-
posed bond issue could be successfully
carried, it was decided, after full dis
cussion, to defer definite action for
one week, or until next Wednesday,
October 18th. In the interim, senti-
ment of the people of the county
could, in large measure, be more fully
ascertained and reported upon.
The subject is one of utmost I'M
potance, and favorable results are
expected to accrue at the meeting OF
the commissioners next Wednesday az
ternoon at o'clock.
