Many fields, especially in the East,

Many fields, especially in the East,
are benefited by lime. The applica-
ton of lime alone will not always
insure catch of clover, but on the
greater part of the farms on which
clover frequently fails, lime may be
applied proftably. Probably at least
half Of the clover failures could be
prevented were plenty Of lime used.
The kind of lime to be used will de-
pend on the price, freight charges,
and cost of hauling. This is issum-
ing that it is all Of good quality.
Roughly twice as much ground lime
stone must be applied as of murnt
lime and where freight and hauling
charges are high, the smaller guam
tity to be handled may make burnt
lime cheapest. The State experiment
station or the county agent can best
advise i'll particular cases.
The use of lime in some form when
preparing the land for oats with
clover is urged as an important step
toward assuring a stand Of clover.
(2) Use Early Variety of Oats.
Use an early variety of oats and
do not seed heavily. The oat crop
is hard on the clover growing with
it in that it shades the latter and
draws heavily on the supply Of mois-
ture. Oats are harvested during hot
weather and droughts are not un-
likely at that time. 1t is at this time
that the greatset mortality occurs
among the young clover plants. If
the stand of oats is thick, there is
more shading and there is also a
greater drafe on the water supply
To minimize the chances of loss of
catch of clover, use an early oat
and sow relatively thin. A bushel
of oats per acre may not give quite
the yield that 2 1-2 bushels will, but
there is twice the chance for the
clover, and where this is needed, it
is important enough to be given a
fair show.

OF INTEREST TO OUR FARMERS
CLOVER SEEDING
Department Urges that Every Pre-
caution BE Taken to Prevent Fail
ure of the Crop.

While clover to be seeded with win
ter grain is already in the ground,
and considerable acreage is annu-
ally put in with oats, the United
States Department Of Agriculture
calls attention at this time to the
need for using every care to get a
stand of clover. Red clover seed is
high in price now and there is no
reason to think that considerable i'm
portations from Europe can be look
ed for during the coming year 1t
is highly desirable that the failure
Of clover seedlings be minimized as
much as possible, both from the stand
point of conserving our seed supplies
and of assuring satisfactory hay
crop for the year 1917-18. The fol-
lowing suggestions are therefore
made at this time when land is being
prepared for seeding oats.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-05-02
80 Handling the Oats.

If oats have been seeded thickly
and the season turns dry it will be
worth while to consider whether the
oat crop would not better be cut
for hay than to be allowed to ma
ture. Oat hay is good hay and the
clover will certainly have more
chance if the oats are cut in the
dough than if they are allowed to
ripen. Of course, each farmer must
balance the arguments for himself in
each case, but in deciding he should
give due weight to the Importance of
the stand of clover.
(D Alsike Clover with Red.
Sowing some alsike clover with the
red is practiccd great deal and is
good partial insurance. The alsike
will often catch on poor or sour spots
where the red will not and this makes
the field more uniform. Sometimes,
indeed, field of this sort comes out
pure aslike, when, if only red had
been seeded there would have been
no stand This is especially true of
low lands that may be overfowed or
drowned out in wet year. Red clover
will not stand such conditions, but
alsike will, A seeding of 4 pounds
of alsike with 8 pounds of red makes
a good amount for an acre.
