JAPAN CLOVER FOR PASTURE
duces Fair Amount of Hay in
Many of Southern States.

Japan clover Is an annual legume
which grows well and produces a fair
amount of hay in Louisiana, Arkansas
and other lower Mississippi valley
states. Conditions very similar to
these exist in the extreme southeast
ern portion of Oklahoma. However, If
you go farther to the north and west
where conditions are dry it grows but
four to six inches high and is suitable
only for pasture.
Seed can be secured from any seed
company in the southeastern states
1t may be seeded either in the fall or
early spring. The rate of seeding
should depend upon the purpose for
which 1t is planted that is, whether
seeded by itself or mixture of some
other pasture crop. Fifteen to twenty
pounds of seed is usually used per
acre.
The seed is sowed both in the hull
and hulled conditions. In the un-
threshed condition a bushel will weigh
from fifteen to forty-five pounds When
threshed it has about the same weight
as alfalfa or clover seed.
In this state Japan clover is suitable
only for pasture and is probably bet
ter in mixture. It does fairly well
in bermuda or in native grass. 1t
volunteers each year SO that it is
necessary to SOW but once, unless the
pasture is kept very close 1t is easily
killed out by cultivation, hence cannot
be considered a weed. Those contem-

Gravel Road.

States department of agriculture, it is
good roads are profitable investments,
but to determine exactly what divi.
dends they pay. An investigator as
signed to this problem in any, given
the territory that is tributary to any
main road, much as one might ascer-
tain the territory tributary to some
river. The next step is an accurate
estimate of the total products of this
territory-so much grain, so much to-
bacco, so much garden truck, etc. OF
this quantity certain portion is con-
sumed ON the farm; the rest is shipped
over the road in question.
The whole calculation can then be
checked by investigators at the ship
ping point to which the road leads. In
general it has been found that the
two methods yield much the same in
formation-the total amount of prod
uce hauled over the road. Next the
length of the average haul is calcu-
lated, the size of the load permitted by
the character of the road ascertained,
and the cost of teams and drivers fig
ured. With these facts before him
the investigator is now able to state
positively the cost of hauling ton
of produce on that road, to express
in terms of these "ton-miles" the
freight traffic on the road, and finally
the total cost to the community served
by the road of hauling its goods to
market. Armed with these data it is
easy to decide how much money can
be profitably spent in improving the
road and what are the returns that the
investment yields to the community.

ouired by four pounds day; but this

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Energy of Farmers Teams Conserved
by Pulling Heavy Loads Over Com
paratlvely Smooth Surface.

There is no doubt that good roads
tend to prosperity to the farmers who
live on them. Their teams are not
worn out with the effort to pull a
light load over bad road, for they
easily take large one to market and
save not only the strength of the
team and wear of the wagon, but
what is of more importance still, the
time of the owner.
He gets his product to market more
cheaply and that item alone tends to
more prosperity. Then, too, the value
of his land is increased by the fact
that 1t is on a well-made and we'll
kept road, for the heaviest tax a farm
er pays is bad roads.
