HOW TO GET A STAND OF GRIM
SON CLOVER

Therefore If sown on soil loosely
thrown up and left in puffy condition,
the seed will terminate and then
perish for lack of firm, moist earth
below.
For the same reason, never sow on
dry soil after light rain.
Again, if the seed are covered
three fourths inch to one inch deep
and rain forms a crust before the
clover shows up above the ground,
your efforts are in vain.
If the seed are covered shallow in
loose soil and it does not rain for
several days, few will come up in
favored spots and live, others will
terminate and die, while still others
for lack of moisture will wait till
rain comes.
Now what is the safe thing to do
with this apparently exacting though
aIl-important crop?
Simply take advantage of its pc
culiarities and meet its demands.
Pillow the soil as soon as possible and
begin working it down at once; har-
| row after each ram 10 prevent the
growth Of grass and weeds, to fine
and level the surface, to conserve
moisture and to make the seed bed
firm and promote capillary attraction
from moist subsoil. When possible,
sow Just as quickly after rain as
the ground will work we'll, Cover
seed not more than one-half inch,
preferably one-fourth inch, and follow
Immediately with roller or flat drag
Then if it does not rain, your reserve
of moisture will last for weeks, and
practically every seed will come up
On the other hand, if heavy beatine
rains come at once and run the sur
face together, forming crust, the
quick terminating of your crimson
clover comes to the rescue. BeinG
covered shallow, it win pop its heat
up to the surface before the crus
can harden.
Thus, wet or dry. you are reason
ably safe, while under the other meth
DDS mentioned YOU are gambling wit
the weather-Carey E. Witt in Sou
thern Agriculturist.

FARM NEWS
Lime. A VA Fertilizer

Due to unusual acreage in corn,
wheat must follow corn. This is not
good farm practice, put if intelligent
effort is put forth in preparation and
management we shall find it essential
as a war practice. Corn exhausts
available nitrogen, even on strong
lands, and low yields Of whsat re-
suit. The richest lands, now in corn,
should be reserved for corn next sea-
son. To insure maximum yields Of
winter wheat on thinner land lime
in the form Of ground limestone
should be used at the rate of two
tons per acre. The increased yield
due to lime where available phos-
'phates are used, will pay for the
lime and will insure successful stands
of red clover next spring to be used
as hay to release corn.
Ground limestone is not fully APP
preciated by the farmers and the ma
tion's advisers in this food crisis.
Sell COckerels.
AS a chicken weighing two and a
half pounds will probably sell for
more now than it will six weeks from
now, weighing three or four pounds,
it will pay handsomely, where the
cockerel weighs a pound and a half
to two pounds, to feed exceptionally
well on the following ration for ten
days or two weeks and then place on
the market;
All the whole or cracked corr that
he will eat night and morning, and
dry and wet mash consisting of
Three pounds cornmeal,
One pound wheat shorts,
One pound beef scraps.
It would be also we'll to give him
all the sour or SKINNED milk he will
drink, and he can be induced to eat
more Of the mash by mixing it with
milk.
Ten days of such feeding will add
from quarter to a half pound of
weight to the chicken, and will assist
in improving the quality. Cockerels
should be sold Just as soon as posi-
BILE after they have reached the de-
sired weight 1.-TWO to two and one
half pounds) in order that the pullets
may be given ample room to develop
into first class layers.
Need for Skilled Labor
It has been said that this war will
be won on the farm. Much stress
is being put upon the matter of in
creasing the production of the farms
even the breaking and planting Of
government reserves is under consid
Grafton.
And there was not enough labor il
the United States last year to cart
for the small crop produced, i
would seem that the production THU
year will depend not so much o.
stirring up. the farmer to the need
} Of the country as on seeing that he i
given as much additional labor a
can be spared from the cities 0
schools. He must also have laho
, saving machinery available.

pastor, was chosen to give the
baccalaureate sermon, and as the
fine audience which filled the
Baptist church on Sunday morn

that he was well chosen must
have filed the minds of many.
Mr.. Gebert's sermon was not
alone masterful, but the earnest
ness with which he appealed to
the young people before him to
live up to all that is high and
good, and to make their lives
| lives of service, made the address
impressive, and stirred the hearts
of all with the longing that these
young people might indeed &C
forth to make the world better
and happier because they are
here.
