not necessary to use the manure at all except on the poorer lands.
 Unlike alfalfa, most of the other legumes will thrive reasonably we'll on thin land if other condi- tions are favorable, and a reas- onable quantity of manure is ap- piled, and in this particular the clovers have an especially wide range of adaptability. Were it otherwise our poor soils would l be hopelessly run down., and i therefore since we can use the legumes as soil builders" no excuse for unproductive or worn out soils can be tolerated. How ever, it is well to remember that unless the legumes are either turned under green, or cut for hay and the hay fed to live stock and the manure carefully saved and returned to the soil, the de- pletion of fertility is not stopped. although checked to "a consider able extent. This is a point the farmer should bear well in mind, and it Is where the value of live stock comes in, in connection with soil conservation.
 1. Preparation of Soil and Planting. In the sowing of win ter cover crops, especially the the legumes, the kind of prepar- ation necessary will depend largely on the condition of the soil and the crop grown during the proceeding summer. If clO- yer is to be soWn after cotton, soi. preparation becomes a sim pie matter. Running a diverse cultivator through the cotton rows to pulverize the soil, sowing the seed and brushing them in with a light drag harrow, or any contrivance that will answer the porpose is about all the work re- Quired. Where these crops are to be planted on corn land, or after any crop that has left considerable amount of litter on the surface 1t becomes necessary to have the soil well fitted by turning, discing and narrowing. When thus prepared, the seed are sewn broadcast and covered with any kind of an implement that will do the work satiSfacto- rily, bearing in mind that the seed must be covered very light ly.

EXTENSION NOTES
Soil Conservation.

At the present time there is a widespread and ever growing interest in soil conservation. In a practical sense, the phrase. "Soil Conservation" means Keeping up the Fertility. :" This is the most important ques- tion confronting the farmer, If he does not keep up, or maintain the fertility of his soil, the time will come when he can no longer make living at farming. There are different ways of maintain ing soil fertility, but perhaps the most practical and economical method, or means, is to be found in winter cover crops, especially those of the leguminous species, such as the clovers and vetches. The summer legumes, like COW peas and soy beans are of inestl- mable value and serve their pur- pose well, and we cannot well do without them, but they are avail able to us for only a short time of the year. It is a much bet ter practice from every stand point to keep some leguminous, or soil building crop, growing all the year through, and this can easily be done on the average farm.
 The principal legumes ayalla- ble for planting on our titled lands of the South are crimson clover. :burr clover. and hairy vetch. The great agricultural value of these crops lies princi- palIy in their ability to gather the nitrogen of the atmosphere and store 1t up in their roots to become available to succeeding crops. They also have an i'm portant value as hay crops, and for winter grazing. Aside from thorough preparation of the soil, success with these crops depends to a great extent on several fac tors as follows:
 1. Inoculation. It has been quite definitely proven that the most essential reqnite for success with legumes is inoculation witf the proper bacteria which pro duce noduIes on the roots ot these plants l. is possible by repeatedly planting on the san. soil a Ha # sr#aa with -u Que a. lGs 4s'a.a .r.
