No, you cannot inoculate for al

field. That would inoculate for any
other true clover. the Trifolium fam
lily, but the alfalfa is OF a different
genus. The best way will be to get
an artificial culture to inoculate the

them good. Use not less than a ton

The Lettuce Fever.

In the winter of l914-l5 Southern
farmers were taken with a fever for
planting early Irish potatoes. and
/ received hundreds OF letters asking
about the crop. i did all in my
power to prevent their going into
crop. for at that time the North was
full of old potatoes selling for about
20 cents a bushel, and was sure
that this would bring disaster to the
Southern early crop. The result
less there are many who wished that
they had taken my advice.
Now another fever has struck
them, and daily l am getting letters
from farmers asking for full infor-
nation about growing lettuce in
frames for winter sales. Many fail
to understand that trucking or mar
ket gardening is a distinct business

more fertilization, as we'll as skill
and knowledge OF the business A
farmer dabbling in little truck for
northern shipment will almost in
variably produce an inferior article
and will be at the mercy of the
railroads and commission men
while the skilled truckers, with Their
organization and sales agents al
over the North, have an advantage
over the isolated farmer. not only In
being experienced and skillful in the
work. but with better rates on Their
carload lots already sold when they
leave.
Last winter the lettuce croy
grown by these skilled men was &
very profitable crop. Then farm.

that they can do as we'll, when as

WHAT FARMERS WANT TO KNOW
BY w. f. MASSEY

year s early potato crop was q fail
ure, and of course man ydroppet
out. so that the crop this spring wa.
very profitable one, and the
chances are that next spring man,
more will be inclined to rush in and
lose again.
Lettuce is grown in the South
largely in frames under cotton cloth
Good lettuce is grown by skillful
men In this way, who fully under
stand the nature of the crop and the
temperature to try to maintain.
they also understand that the ma
nure for the frames must be pre-
pared months ahead and turned and
well rotted, for fresh manure is OF
TAR less use. They understand that
they must stuff the frames with rot
ten manure and then urge the
growth of the crop by heavy dressing
OF high-grade fertilizer and nitrate
OF soda to push it along, and that
the man who tries to grow it with
fertilizer alone will not make the
best heads. They know too that
lettuce demands plenty Of moisture.
and the best growers have irriga-
tion pipes over the beds to maintain
the needed moisture, for If the beds
are allowed to dry out the crop will
be small.
The variety mainly grown is the
Big Boston, but some May King is
also grown, and heads earlier than
the Boston. Then some of the best
growers have found that the cloth is
not always sufficient, and they have
run steam pipes through the frames
TO ward off the cold on very cold
nights. All this means a very con-
siderable outlay, and the cloth needs
renewal at least in two seasons.
Glass sashes will make better lettuce
and in the long run are cheaper than
cloth. l have sashes that have been
in use for over ten years and are
still as good as yer, being made OF
cypress wood. To equip an acre OF
land with frames and sashes will
cost probably $4,000, and cloth
frames probably $500. The sashes
taken care of will be good for 20
years. and the better crops grown
will soon more than make up the
difference.
See for the crop to come in about
Christmas should be sowed in late
August and the plants set in the
frames as soon as large enough and
the cover used when the nights get
frosty. For the crop to winter over
for spring cutting, the seed should
be sowed later in n protected frame
to have the plants ready to set in
January, and the frames that made
the Christmas crop should not be re-
planted. for disease will be sure to
drop in. / use glass only and SOW
beets and radishes after the Christ
mas crop of lettuce and use fresh
soil and frames for the later crop.
The winter and spring crops OF
lettuce often prove profitable, but
the farmer dipping into it will prob
ably lose money at first. though he
may learn from experience how to
grow it. These shipping truck
crops are very seldom profitable to
the general farmer. To make
trucking source OF profit a man
should be a trucker all through, and
be located where he can have the
advantage OF organization with 9TH
er truckers, for an isolated grower
is badly handicapped.-The Pro-
greSsiye Farmer
