 plants by the weeds or dry during the summer
 Alsike clover Is adapted to soils of 3 wet nature. It will grow on soil that is deficient in lime better than any of tho other clovers. It is often seeded In permanent pastures or meadows along with grasses on soils that are poorly drained. The usual rate of seeding IS to s pounds per acre.
 Japan clover or Lespedeza is a nat ural growth especially in the south and eastern part of Arkansas. It does we'll Tn mixture with Bemuda, orI after oats and wheat Seeding should be done the latter part Of February or March. The seed may be broad. casted on the Bermuda sod or on the wheat or oats and narrowed in. on wheat or oats seed at the rate of d bushel per acre. Four or five pounds per acre will serve as a start on Ser muda It will reseed itself each year if given a chance.
 Crimson and Bur Glover should be grown more than they are. They grow when other crops are not grow ing. They hold the soil from wash iag. Plant foods that would be lost during the winter and spring are taken up and retained. They furnish ! splendid pasture during the spring and sometimes during the winter. If pastured off or turned under they fur ,>;o l., oF rogen to the soil. Both of these clo- vers should be seeded in the last )f August or September They may be broad-casted in the cotton or corn middles and covered with a harrow. The rate of seeding Is 15 pounds of crimson clover and two or three bush els of bur clover in the bur per acre. A bushel of bur clover in the bur. weighs ten pounds.
 Bur clover is particularly adapted, for growing with Bermuda. It fur nishes a pasture during the winter and spring when the Bermuda Is not green. Part of the bur clover seed have a hard coat so that they may lay in the ground for several months before sproutlng. Because of this fact the crops will reseed itself from year to year when once started if some of 1t is allowed to seed each spring. If sown late bur clover seed often germinate poorly. MT. A. D. McNair has found that if the seed are soakeI in cold water, put in boiling water for just one minute. put back in the cold water, and sown, the per. centage of germinatlon will be in. creased many times.
 The following Farmers Bulletins should be read, Bur Clover" Bulletin No. 693. Sweet Glover" Bulletin No. 4s5. Crimson Glover" No. $50 and 597, Lespedeza or Japan clover No. Al. These bulletins may be secured by writing to the Extension Depart ment, Fayetteville. Ark, or to the De- partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

REPRODUCTION IS.MADE EASY
Perfect Copies of Masterpieces Of Sculpture Secured With the Aid
 of the Camera.

A new optical method for making reproductions of sculptures consists in photographing the object from two or more points of view and then, with the cameras and lines of sight in ex- actly the same relative positions, pro- jecting the images to an intersection on the modelling clay or block of mar ble from which the reproduction is to be made. While somewhat crude in its present state, this process, says Popular Mechanics, is one that ap- parently has great possibilities for fu- ture development. In making the re- production the worker simply cuts away the material at any point until the corresponding points as protected from the different cameras coincide on the surface. AS most sculptural or 1ects do not have points that are S,
 ficiently prominent for their coing dence to be determined with precisio
 it is proposed to use an xaoitional a. paratus for projecting a series of fin lines and letters on the object while 1t Is being photographed. These lines and letters, of course, appear on the. negative made by each of the cameraA and are projected with the image. M this way the worker obtains a set a artificial points that are sharp al definite, and the coincidenceuNf thsdDl A easily determined. 4

 !. A large variety of clovers can be Gown in Arkansas. The acreage 4lould be increased many times. The tlovers belong to that class of plants known as soil builders. They have the power of using the free nitrogen from the air. This ability is due to tlea action of certain bacteria which fern nodules on the clover roots. IT Ehese crops are grown and pastured off. turned under, or fed to livestock and the manure returned nitrogen Will be added to the soil. When any of the clovers except Japan clovers are sown on land where they have never been before the soil should be inocu- lated with the soil method or by the pure culture method.
 The clOvers may be divided into three classes. First, those which i've for two or more years as Red, Alslke, Ser. Second, summer annuals or those which are seeded in the spring ana maSAre and die in the fall as Japan clover. Third, winter annuals or those which are sown in the summer or fall and mature and die the fol- lowing summer as Bur and crimson clover. Each group has its place ln the cropping system.
 Red Glover lasts for only two years under ordinary conditions unless 1t Is allowed to reseed itself. It makes It's best growth on clay loam soil. Good drainage and liberal supply Of lime in the soil is essential. The usual rate of seeding is 12 to 15 pounds to the acre when seeded alone or to pounds pere acre it. mixture With grasses. Best results are usually se' cured by seeding in September, spring 'asding may be done, but then there

SOME WILL DISBELIEVE THIS
That Fair Girl Graduate Neglected Familiar Phrase Is Too Much to
 Take on Faith.

Confronted by eager friends and rel atives in the auditorium the fair young girl graduate sallied forth to the cen ter of the platform to deliver her com mencement peroration. Everyone ex- pected her to strew the wild flowers of rhetoric around the building with a lavish hand and they were not disap- pointed. Beginning almost in the Gar den of Eden, she brilliantly traced the great events of history and endeav- ored to point the lesson that each hap pening should teach. She dragged poor Julius Caesar from his mausoleum and ghoulishly lugged him across the Rubi. con again, helped Horatio make good his long suit at the bridge and even endeavored to portray where Napoleon Bonaparte had erred.
 Coming down the home stretch the talented young lady breezed along un- der wraps.
 Now, my classmates" she said in conclusion, we have reached the part ing of the ways. We must now show the stuff of which we are made and get out in the world and hustle. Let US put forth all our energies to make c,sr efforts success. thereby repaying our proud forbears for the many sac- ritices they have made that we might be scientifically equipped for the her culean struggle on which we must eD- bark"
 With these fitting words, the fair graduate brought her valedictory to close. And never once did she pro- claim to an unsuspecting public that. Beyond the Alps lies Italy."-New York World.
