is this way is a valuable crop, but it
should be sown only on land well sup
piled with lime, and soil incubation
is necessary at the outset, the same
as for alfalfa. Also mention should be
made of the fact that according to our
trials fall seeding has not given good
results.
Crimson clover" is very valuable
green manure crop, which may be
sown in early fall and be turned under
previous to the planting of either corn

tive to a deficiency of lime as either
sweet or red clover, but is generally
benefited by lining. Unfortunately,
a stand is not apt to be obtained when
the seed is sownR at the last working
of corn, cotton, etc. 1t may be sown
to advantage after spring and summer
trucking crops, after wheat and othel
small grain, and even after corn re-
moved early by silage, or the like.
Burr clover may be used in much
the same way as crimson clover, but
requires a good supply of lime, and
incubation may be necessary, at least
if the clean seed be used
Hairy vetch seed is expensive, but
may be sown in cotton and sown later

from it, it must be turned under sew

In this connection the great value
Of Japan clover, both for pasture and
green manure, should not be over
looked, and though it comes In natu'
rally in the course Of time, it may be
highly profitable to sow seed in order
to hasten full stand over the field.

THE CHURCH AS
AS0C|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIigion-New
Field for the Eural Church.
BY Peter Radford
r National Farmers Union

Lecturer national FARMERS OHlOH
The social duty of the rural church
is as much part Of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing It's
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, Is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta-
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals Of
service, the rural church which 1T
tains the fullest measure OF success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with it's members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, if an understanding OF its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure OF a
rural community is exceedingly com
pick; it contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter-
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered Play Is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day Of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. As individuals
come together, in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society.
It is plain. therefore, that the
church which aims at a perfected So
ciety must use in refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors In
social evolution and must avail itself
of the universal inpsanct for play.
II the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, it will
Ail a large part Of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type Of manhood
and womanhood-

Numerous experiments have been
made by the Tennessee Station to de-
termine the effects both of legumes,
such as cOwpeas and crimson clover,
and of non-legumes, such as corn,
sorghum and rye, when turned under
for green manure, on the yield Of the
Immediately following crops of corn
and wheat The results may be
summed up as follows:
Corn, sorghum and millet are not
suitable crops to be grown for green
manure. The yield of corn imme-
diately following them was consider
ably reduced. Rye is advised, how
ever, as. winter cover crop. but
should be turned under early, when
about one foot high or less.
The legumes can be advised as
green-manure crops, but cowpeas and
soy beans, when used for this purpose,
are not apt to be profitable for the
first few years. II turned under each
year and followed with wheat or other
small grain, as can be done success.
fully in the southern and western parts
of the state, the effect is cumulative;
that Is, the soil where the cowpeas
are turned under gradually increases
in productiveness, while the area
where either the peas are removed for
hay or no cowpeas are grown, grad
ually becomes poorer until the differ
ence between them is very marked
In the last two years Of five-yea1
trial there were obtained 4 to bush
els per acre more of wheat on the area
where the cowpeas were turned under
than where either none were grown OF
the crop was removed for hay.
Sweet clover sown April II, 1912
was cut once that year for hay and
was turned under May Is, 1913, and
followed with corn, which made q
yield of 5S.8 bushels per acre. On ar

Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as, rule,
vague conception of the meaning Of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives Of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity Of providing entertain
ment, as we'll as instruction, to its
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. It has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression. which may
take the form of clubs, parties, pic
MICS or other forms of amusement.
One thing is certain. and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in it's place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
