Lest we forget, let us repeat
the entreaty, don't let late season

fewer acres and put it in the ground

intensive farming costs less and it
gives far greater net profit than

method.
Drainage also is a vital matter

E.P. PUTNAM, Manager
New Nitrogen Gatherer and Soil
Builder Plant Growing in this Section

During the first week i'll April a
gentleman brought to the office of
the Southwest Louisiana Develop
ment Bureau, a plant which he
discovered and requested its Classi-
fication. The Bureau not being
expert in such matters fhe plant
was forwarded to Professor ]. c..
Lee, ofthe Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute with the request
for information regarding its idcn-
tity.
The plant had, this early in the
season and without any cultivation
at all, attained a height of about
one foot and was in bloom, the
gentleman who brought it in OBJ
serving that the plant was growing
wild in several places in Southwest
Louisiana and that live stock went
crazy about it. DR.. Thomas Stark
of ThibodeauX Corroborated the
statement about the fondness of
live stock for the plant and said
that it thriveS i'll a wild state in
many portions of Lafourche Parish.
Professor Lee pronounced it to
be hairy vetCh, whish he said may
be found growing along the tracks
of almost every railroad in Louis

mum development in March and
April. 1t belongs to the lcgumi-
nous family and is, therefore, a
nitrogen Eathcrcr and soil builder,
which deserves to be grown more
generally i'll Southwest Louisiana.
According to Professor Lee, they
do as well as the clOvers in this
section and they need we'll drained
and fairly strong land in order to
thrive. He believes the plant
should be tried out by our people.
While it is too late to do this
now, the Southwest Louisiana
farmer should bear the fact in
mind and next autumn carry out
Professor Lees suggestion by
good acreage i'll vetches and the
Clovcrs.
1t is quite apparent that a forage
crop that natures in March and
of which cattle and horses are so
fond must be valuable for winter
pasture, while the fact that it be

ing and ventilation of the bed
The soil should never be allowed
to dry out, but it should not be
kept water soaked. Moisture is
necessary for the termination Of
the seed and for the growth of
the plants, but an excess of mois-
ture should be avoided, as it slim
ulates the development of diseases.
especially damping- off, water
should be applied carly enough in
the day to allow the plants to dry
before night. Ncntilate the beds

Water competition with other Viz
