Provided there is lime and phos-
phorus enough in the land; second
year clover should g:ve little trouble
unless attacked by root borers or 9TH
er insects. There are leaf-eating in
sects that do damage locally, and some
fungi have been known to kill whole
fields or to reduce yields. but the in
sects working on the roots probably
give more trouble than other insects
or than diseases. When a field be-
comes infested with root-eating insects
there is nothing to do but pillow it up.
(See Farmers Bulletin No. 455.) The
fact that insects and diseases of all
kinds increase in a clover field is one
of the best reasons why such a field
should not be kept longer than two
years.

GROWING RED CLOVER
How to Overcome Some of the Diff
culties in Securing and Maintain
ing q Good Stand.

ing Good Stand.
The area in red clover is less today
than it has been and very much less
than it should be, says the Weekly
News Letter of the Department of Ag-
riculture. In the New England states,
for example, the acreage decreased 20
per cent in the decade between 1899
and 1909. In Ohio, one of the import
ant clover states in 1911, it was little
more than half of what it had been
in 1897. The area in clover seed in
Michigan in 1897 was more than
double the area in 1914. During this
same period the seed harvest in Illinois
fell from 1885, 500 bushels to 42,4O9.
In short. all the figures available from
these and other states point in one di-
rection-to a serious decrease in the
area devoted to red clover.
Loss from Crop Failure.
The cause of this decline in clover
growing is to be found in the increas-
| ing difficulty experienced in getting a
stand, and in the less satisfactory
growth of the crop when a stand is
| secured.
While there are cases of clover fail
ure that can not at present be explain
ed, it can be said that the important
principles of plant growth are directly
applicable to the clover plant.
To get a catch, the soil, temperature
and moisture conditions must be right
and to keep a stand the plants must
be maintained in good health. The
degree of damage which untoward
weather conditions will do depends
largely on how healthy and vigorous
the clover plant is. Glover delights in
a relatively COOL moist climate and in
a fertile loamy soil, containing plenty
of vegetable matter. lime and phos-
phorus. OF course these ideal condi-
tons can not be fully realized in prac-
tice. One of the chief uses of clover
is to improve soil by putting into it
vegetable matter and farmers have a
right to expect clover to grow at least
reasonably well on soils whose fertili-
ty they wish to maintain or increase
Lime a Necessity.
1t is, however, a mistake to suppose
that clover will grow on any soil how
ever much run down. There are GER
tain things that clover demands, and
the most important are a good supply
of lime and phosphates. There are, il
is true, conditions under which clover
thrives on acid soils. These conditions
are not yet fully understood, but they

A Canada Pure Food Law.
Canada is giving us race in
pounds Of sugar and gallons Of syrup
produced from maple sap. In that
country great Importance seems to at
tach to the uses of the productions as
applied to commerce. A few days
since the Canadian Parliament passed
most strenuous law, including the
following: THE word maple shall
not be used. either alone or in COM
words or letter or letters. on the
label or other mark, illustration or
device on a package containing any
article of food or on any article of
food itself which is not pure maple
sugar or pure maple syrup and any
article of food labelled or marked In
violation of this provision is deemed
to be adulterated."
This has incurred criticism of a por-
ton Of the Canadian press as bearing
too severely upon confectioners who
use maple in connection with other
articles of food, and whose business
may suffer from absence Of the allur-
ing word maple in connection with
their bonbons, fudge and caramels.

seeding can be successfully practiced
in many places.
Nurse Crops.
Glover is commonly seeded with
small grain, which is called the nurse
crop. This nurse crop serves two
functions-it keeps the weeds down
and it produces a money crop while
the clover is making it's first years
growth. Whether it is wise to use a
nurse crop depends on so many things
that it can not be discussed within the
limits of a brief article. 1t has been
abundantly shown, however, that if
weeds are kept down by clipping, the
clover will make a better growth when
Sown alone than when with a nurse
crop. In dry seasons the nurse crop is
pretty certain to cause the death of
the clover by taking all the moisture
and then leaving the young plants ex-
posed to the heat of a July or August
sun when in a weakened condition by
reason of the lack of moisture. If a
nurse crop is used, care should be
taken not to seed it too thickly, since
the thicker the grain crop the more
certain it is to smother the clover or
to take all the moisture and leave the
grains, rye shades the ground the
least and oats the most, and these
crops represent both extremes of de-
sirableness so far as red clover is con-
cerned.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1916-03-29
Maintaining the Stand.

The consideration of the nurse crop
brings US from getting a catch to main
tanning a stand. The most frequent
causes of the death of young clover
are the drought and heat to which the
plants are subjected upon the removal
of the grain crop. The amount of in
jury caused will, of course, depend on
the season. The summer of 1915 was
very favorabl to young clover as
there was plenty of rain throughout
most of the clover belt, but such sea-
sons are exceptional Injury will also
be worse on soils deficient in humus,
since these run together and dry out
more than soils having plenty of or
ganic matter. p-dressing the fields
with manure during late winter is as
good a preventative of this danger as
can be suggested. The manure will
not only prevent loss of moisture, but
will furnish plant food for the young
clover, making stronger plants. better
able to Withstand drought. 1t is also
advisable to leave the grain stubble
as long as possible, so as to afford
shelter to the young plants.
If there is a good stand of clover on
field in September and October,
there is every reason to expect a good
stand in spring barring, of course,
most unusual weather conditions. If,
however, the soil is deficient in lime,
the plant, though appearing fair in
the fall, may lack the vigor to go
through even a reasonably mild win
ter Two mistakes are often made, and
these should be guarded against. The
young clover should not be pastured
closely in the fall, nor should it be al
lowed to seed. Last fall, owing to the
favorable summer, young clover was
found blossoming and seeding in many
fields. This is bad. because it weakens
the plants and increases the number
of clover-seed insects, the late broods
finding these flower heads a fine place
in which to lay eggs. which hatch into
| larvae many of which may live over
| the next winter

How Catarrh is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation
of the mucIs membranes, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, disease that is
seldom cured and that may prove a
life's burden. Many persons who have
this loathsome disease will remember
having had frequent colds at the time
it was contracted. A little fore
