A Miracle Wrought
By Crimson Clover

This is a true story Of a piece O
land:
In the year 1910 this land pro
decd a little less than six tons 0.
sllage per acre. Every year fol-
lowing for five more years, or six
years in all, it grew a crop o.
silage corn. It was cultivated and
handled in about the same way all
these six years and during that
time received no stable manure
or commercial fertilizer.
On the sixth year, this good
plot Of land grew nearly twelve
tons Of silage per acre. The cause
of this doubling Of the yield in six
years is, OF course, the interesting
point OF this story. How was this
miracle brought about, for it is
surely little short Of a miracle to
double the yield from land in six
years, when the average acre of
land in the South has not increased
in fertility, during the last fifty
years? The miracle was worked
because, while growing a crop OF
corn, this land also grew a crop of
crimson clover between the crops
Of corn. Some of this crimson
clover was removed, but most OF it
was plowed under.
1t was the nitrogen taken from
he air by the crimson clover and
he vegetable matter which it
furnished to decay in the soil, that
about this marvellous
transformation Of an ordinary soil
nto a rich soil. This could only
occur in a soil already we'll sup
olied with phosphorus and lime.
This soil had these naturally in
abundance. Where these do not
'xist in the soil they must be
and then, the wonder
crimson clover, will do for
'ther soils what it did for the soil
i this story.
