ALFALFA AND RED CLOVER MIXED

A lack OF proper inoculation is one
" the common causes of failure with

The State OF Tennessee has lust
passed through the dryest IL months
since rainfall records have been kept.
This would seem to be a good time
to look at our farming methods ana
find whether or not they are caicu-
lated to take advantage Of the many
variations in rainfall and rainfall dis
tributlon to which this section OF the
country is subject.
During the first three months OF
1918 the rainfall was abundant
amounting to 215S inches. This
amount of water properly conserved
would have insured bumper crop In
1913. This is more rain than many Sec
tions of the West receive in whole
year AID they grow fully 90 big crops
as we do. After large portion OF
this rain had run off, carrying some OF
the best part of our land with It, the
weather turned dry and By June we
were needing rain. But instead OF the
usual amount OF rain, we had for the
~ months beginning June /, 1913, the
dryest year ever experienced in Ten
nessee. The accompanying chart
shows graphically the state of affairs
The upper line represents the norma
or average rainfall while the lower

ftwo months, September and October
had mo.e than the average rainfall.
These two months however, put our
soil In fine condition fer fall sowing and
we have had a splendid crop Of wheat
although it wss reduced somewhat
BY the dry weather il Hay. We hava
grown other crops too, but they have
not been up to standard snd In many
cases have been considered failures.
Now let us see what caused all the
trouble. What is the reason we are
discouraged? Is 1t really because OF
lack OF rainfall, or have We failed TO
do our part?
Our average rainfall for a year Is
LS.85 inches. In the II months IN
question we fell short CT that amount
by 1880 inches or little moro than
27 per cent. Just think OF that We
had less than three-fou.ths Of the av.
erage rainfall. Is 1t any wonder our
crops we're poor? But let us look
little further. The actual rainfall for
the 12 dry months was $3.50 inches.

SCHOOL GARDENS

tBy C. A. Keffer, Division of Exten'
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
Much interest is being manifested
this spring in school gardens. In some
towns vacant lots are secured by the
schools. the land is heavily manured,
plowed and thoroughly prepared for
seeding, and is then divided into indi-
ridual garden plots, separated by
maths two and three feet wide. the
plats are usually about four by eight
feet in size. Another plan Is to have
each child cultivate his garden at
home. with the supervision OF the
yeacrer who furnishes the planting

The school garden is development

papular in the schools few years ago,

for the child learns by doing. and his
study is productive. Lessons of seed
sproutlng, of plant food, of growth and
fruitage. Of the effect of tillage on

lime has been applied to the surface

ew ones have been seeded. The re-
suit has been Disappointing.
Lime should be mixed with the top
few inches of soil before the clover Is
sswn. The lime tends to go into the
SOL, but the clover often dies for the
cant of it before it has had time to
