FACTS WORTH KNOWING
ABOUT CRIMSON CLOVER
(By ]. G. McAmis.)
Its Value and Uses.

Crimson clover is probably without
an equal among the winter crops
grown in Tennessee for use as green
manures, cover crops and substitutes
For these purposes it is harder than
red clover, and earlier than either red
clover or hairy vetch, making it supe-
rior for fall and winter pasture and
for turning under in the spring. Its
superiority over the grains lies in the
exceedingly important fact that it adds
nitrogen to the soil, while the grains
do not. Glover decays more readily
in the soil and its effect is quicker 1t
is richer feed.

Place in the Rotation.

Crimson clover is often seeded in
standing cultivated crops, such as
corn, cotton, tomatoes, etc. The prac-
tice is inexpensive but risky, as a
stand cannot always be secured. Thor
ough late cultivation, thin stands of
the cultivated crops, rich land and sea-
sonal rains increase the chances of
success Moisture in the early fall Is
usually the limiting factor There
fore, maximum production is far more
certain by early preparation of grain
stubble land, old pastures and mead
ows, which are to be planted to a cul-
tivated crop the following season, fol-
lowing the turning under of the Grim
son clover.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1915-09-30
Companion Crops.

Crimson clover may be sown either
alone or with various companion crops,
the most common of which are the
winter grains This mixture is ad-
vised under the following general con-
ditions:
Extremely poor land-Wheat and
rye will succeed on poorer land than
clover.
2-Land of medium fertility with
late preparation and late seeding
Grains help to prevent the clover from
freezing out,
3-Very late seeding on rich land.
ALL lands intended for heavy pas
turing-Grains make firmer turf
Wheat and rye are best companion
crops on poor land. Wheat reaches
the green manure stage at the same
time that clover does. Rye is slightly
earlier than crimson clover. Oats and
barley produce more pasture OF better
quality on rich land.

Times says of him: Van Vert and
Van Vert county have been signally
honored, and at the same time the
Department of the Interior is assured
of the services of a most competent

Roosevelt declared the pension roll a
roll OF honor, upon which every vet
eran should have his name. His pen
sion certificate is numbered LAS, 704,

appointment of Comrade Saltzgaber
was success for his former Repre-
sentative, Hon. T. T. Ansberry, of De-
fiance, who is himself a son of a vet
eran and warm friend of the veter-
ans. He presented Comrade Caltzga-
ber's name to Secretary Lane, and
gave him such a high commentator
for character, ability and activity
that Secretary Lane desired to see
him, and Comrade Saltzgaber was in
vited to Washington for an interview !
This proved satisfactory, and the ap-
pointment was made.

Soil Preparation.

Thorough midsummer breaking is
necessary to insure thick, productive
stand. Breaking may be done with
the subsoil pillow alone, provided there
is little vegetative growth, otherwise
the turn pillow is necessary. After
breaking keep the land free from weed
growth and prevent the evaporation
of moisture by frequent discing and
narrowing. Before seeding, the land
should be made firm with roller.
Above all do not SOW on loose land.

A BOYS WRATH.

Comrade ]. T. Davis of Salem. has
the following in the Washington Tri
bune: II promised / would tell how
| came to go to the army at the age
OF IA years. My father enlisted in
August, 1861. l was the oldest boy
in the family. In May, 1862, went
to grist mill on horseback old coun-
try style. One big burly fellow took
my horse by the bride and led him
in a circle. until he fell down with
me on his back, and when the horse
got on his feet, they put me on his
back and cursed my father for being
In the army, and whipped my horse
and made him run. TO say / was
scared don't express it, and to finish
the punishment they shot and killed
my dog. I went home crying and
told my mother of the treatment |
had received from them, and told her
that was going into the army She
objected, as | was the only boy large
enough to help her do the chores, so
l waited my opportunity and ran
away and enlisted in Indianapolis in
company K, 117th Ind, six months
service. served my time out and re-
enlisted in company /, 91st Ind. for
three years. The time of the regi-
ment expired and / was transferred
with other recruits to company A.

FertiIizing.

To soils lacking phosphorus, 200 to
300 pounds of acid phosphate should
be disced into the land before seeding.
1t is good practice to make heavy
applications OF mineral fertilizers to a
clover crop, instead of applying 1t to
the corn or other crop which is to fol-
low. Lime is beneficial to crimson
clover, though it is not absolutely nee
essary for a successful crop. 1t should
be applied and mixed well with the
soil before seeding.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1915-09-30
Pasturlna and Turnina Under.

Pasture only when the land is dry
and unfrozsn. When the clover Is in
full bloom cut 1t thoroughly by discing
and then turn it into the soil, and pre-
pare the land for the summer crop.

incubation

incubation is necessary on lands
which have not previously grown Grim
son clover, red clover, alsyke clover
or white clover. This may be done by
spreading a few hundred pounds of
soil from a field growing any of these
clovers and discing it into the soil i'm
mediately on cloudy day or late In
the afternoon.

possible, though this is not absolutely
essential If preparation has been done,

Arkansas Rises.

Approximately one inch of rain fell
i'm Tulsa between midnight Wednesday
and 1 o'clock Yesterday afternoon.
The hardest downpour came yester-
day afternoon at o'clock when the
downtown streets became filled with
water and great streams flowed down
the sewers Several bad washouts on
the outswirts Of the city where there
is no paving was reported to the
street department.
Large rises In Arkansas river head
waters we're reported yesterday but
the rise here was slight. between three
and a half and four feet. DR.. c. f..
Earnheart. county farm demOnstratOr,
says the rain is welcome to Tulsa
county farming interests.
While in the middlewest portions OF
the state reports tell OF damage to
crops in the lowlands, eastern Okla
homa is suffering slightly from too
much rainfall. Alfalfa which had not
been cut before the last rain will be
irreparably damaged. However, crop
conditions in Oklahoma are in better
shape than any time for years.
Reports received yesterday told of
damage to grass crops. especially in
Iowa. Missouri, Kansas and eastern
Nebraska, by the lack OF moisture.
However. timely rains would greatly
revive the hay crops.
