JAPAN CLOVER

Use Japan clover for hay. Due to
the shortage Of bean and pea seed,
West Tennessee especially must ava
ken to the necessity of saving japan
clover hay this season. Fence off suit
able areas for pasture lands, and save
every available area now seeded to
Japan clover fr hay. Don't permit the
breaking up of Japan clover areas for
cotton. Too much of this has already
aeen done.
In the fall of 1917 collect Japan clo-
yer seed from pasture areas, from ev-
cry place where Japan clover has
grown. We must have local seed for
reseeding lands that this spring were
broken up for cotton. Japan clover
has struggled for recognition on the
cotton farms of the south. 1t has pro-
zen its merit despite our indifference.
With an average rainfall, Japan clo-
FER should form our best legume hay,
and must be depended upon in this cri-
: to maintain work and breeding
stock through the winter without
grain.

CURIOUS FEARS OF SOLDIERS
One breads That His Charcoal Burner
VIII Be Destroyed Although In
different as 70 Himself.

II is extraordinary what curious
fears some soldiers have. One fighter
always breads that his charcoal FIRE
will be destroyed by shell. He al
ways places the burner in the most
protected part OF the trench. but re-
mains quite Indifferent in regard to
his own personal safety.
Another extraordinary fear Of SOL
der at the front is that of having his
bootlaces united. Nothing else has
terrors for him. from bayonet fighting
to asphyxiating gases. But he is quite
certain that If his bootlaces are loose
he will trip over them and break his
neck. He always examines his laces
TO see if they are properly fastened.
Another soldier who has been through
the thick of the fighting is terribly
frightened of going through n wood,
and would rather walk miles round II
than half a mile through it. He has
the fear that some day a tree will sud
denly fall and crush him.
Many soldiers have a horror of los
ing their identity disks. OF OF being
unidentified If they are killed. and
buried In q nameless grave. One man
is known to carry little scraps Of paper
in every pocket, giving his name and
regiment, so that his body may be rec
ognized If he is killed.

GERMANS FOND OF NETTLES
pears on the Tables in
Germany.

Munich.-A food which was much
used and liked ny the ancient Teutons,
but had been forgotten for many cen
turies, has again appeared on the Ger
man tables under the dire necessity of
the wartime-the nettle.
The weed, which is now cultivated
in enormous quantities and has largely
replaced cotton for cloth, is cooked
like spinach and also used for soups
and other dishes. As the plant con-
tains much sugar and chlorOphyl, it
has a considerable food value, and it
tastes better than spinach.
In Sweden, where many of the an
cient Teutonic customs have survived,
Kettles have always been eaten, and
lately they have been sold canned. In
some parts of southern Germany
"nettle dumplings' were formerly con-
sidered a dellcacy of the spring sea
