HOW TO GROW CRIMSON GLOVER

CRIMSON clover is an annual need
ing neither lime nor incubation in
our section of the State, and can be
grown successfully anywhere in
western Kentucky. IL grows during
Tthe fall and early spring, furnishing
a vast amount of humus and from
$40 to SIS worth of nitrogen per
acre; the most expensive element Of
plant food bought in complete COM
mercial fertilzers-and can be turn
ed under the first of May, when just
beginning to bloom, in plenty of time
to make first-class crop of corn or
tobacco that year. DO NOT WAIT
TOO LATE To TURN UNDER. II
also furnishes an abundance of graz
ing by the first Of April and will
benefit the land some, even if so
used. II would be a mistake not TO
turn it all under, as it grows at the
time when the land would otherwise
be idle.

If the land is inclined to be thin,

COUNTY AGENT SPENCE VISITS
SCAFF0LD CANE

County Agent Spence spent part
of last week in the Scaffold Cane
district vaccinating cattle. Mr..
Spence is very favorably impressed
with the splendid spirit of cooper
alton and community interest mani
Tested by the farmers of this sec
ton recently. He states that the
farming land is looking better; and
that since the Dixie Highway is a
certainty with these people, a spirit
of pride and fellow feeling exists
more than ever before.
With its wonderful resources, es-
pecially the abundance of lime at
hand, this particular section can be
made truly great agricultural
section.
Farmers, its up to you to get n
limestone pulverizer and utilize
this great natural resource. Your
land must have the lime if il is
to bring what it should. Get busy
and have a limestone pulyerizer this
fall. II will pay.
And brother farmer as Mr.. Spence
has already told you, it is up TO you
to eradicate the hog-cholera, which
has infested your neighborhood for
the past twelve months. II can be
stopped, and it must be stopped.
by you. Put into effect the plans
you have gotten from Mr.. Spence
and hog-cholera will soon be driven
from your midst. About sixty hogs
were vaccinated by the County
Agent while at Scaffold Cane.

MAKE A START THIS FALL

If you have never grown winter
corn crops make start this fall.
Begin in a small way and let the
habit grow. This is good advice to
every one who is trying winter le-
gumes for the first time. You may
safely SOW rye on any scale, even
tho you havn't been doing it, but
crimson clover and vetch should
be planted on a small scale at first
until you learn just how to handle
them. Take a little patch, fix it
just right, do whatever is recon-
mended to get stand and plant at
the right time. There will be more
profit in little patch handled this
way than a large field slapped in
hit-or-miss fashion.

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE
by Spence Farm Demonstration and Special
Investigator

Get up your grit enough TO thin
the fruit on the apple trees. Pick
of every little, imperfect apple.
What you leave will be SO much the
better for IL.
Don't let plum stones, peach pits,
etc, dry out If you want them for
seed purposes. Pack them in boxes
pf moist soil until planting time in
october.
An experL>eays that winter vetch
does best as a cover crop if little
rye is seeded with il. One bushcl Of
vetch to one-half bushel of rye per
acre is about right. In mild elm
ates, crimson clover can be used in
stead of vetch.
Look out for sun-scald on trees
that have not sufficient foliage TO
shade their own trunk and main
limbs. A little forethought will en-
able you TO shade the threatened
parts in some manner, and thus
stop the danger Of damaged bark on
the southwest side.

need watering, especially if recent

TO buy calves from dairy farmers In
the neighborhood- The aim at first
should be to produce a carload OF
marketable stock. Where the farm is
100 to 200 acres there is nothing to
hinder the owner raising two or three
carloads in year, but It Is best to set
the mark at one load for the first sea
son. This branch OF business requires
little experience. just as everything
else does.

AT this time. when the fight on the

spread. and every implement OF war.
rare lie being used. any word or meth
cd OF control is eagerly sought. To the
"pestered" wheat growers nothing IL
more acce ,table than news OF the
success Of other practical farmers.
and becaune OF this the experience of
Mr.. Il. l. Simons OF Calhoun County.
Mich, IL worthy of note II IL not a
one years test. but observations
from three crops that the conclusion
Is based upon.
As Mr.. Simons tells Il: "The wheat
field was severely attacked by thu
Hessian fly, and the average yield
that year was 3 TO 8 bushels per acre.
Right across the fence from my wheat
field was another on the same kind
OF ground that had been prepared In
practically the same way.
The difference was that used
200 pounds Of complete fertilizer
per acre. The application was made
with a fertilizer attachment to the
grain dfill at the time OF sowing. At
four different places across the field
strips were untreated and the entire
field was seeded to clover.
up to June 10th the fly had not
attacked my fortified wheat. but had
attacked the unfertillzed wheat in the
same held to such an extent that the
drill rows where no fertilizer was
used appeared as wagon roads across
the field. At this time the field across
the fence from mine had practically
been destroyed. yielding only 3 bush
els pc acre. Ny wheat threshed out
81 bushels per acre. The fertilizer
that year meant an increase of at
least 10 bushels per acre TO me.
Nov, when II came 10 the seeding
where no fertilizer was applied ! fail
ed to get a clover stand. while on the
fortified portion OF the field ! had
the best clover in tho neighborhood.'
II should not be taken that fertili
zer will kill the fly. Il isn't an In
secticide, but It fulhlls its mission
when the increased health and vigor
~ the plants results. and thus the
fly turns TO the weaker. sicklier plants
10 carry on the destruction. Sowing
late will help avoid the fall brood.
but no recourse other than having
good strong healthy plants can be
turned to so that the spring brood
will not have the chance of profit
aking.
