This clover Is harder than red, and
for thh reason it is far superior for
either late fall or winter pasture, and
for turning under in the spring.
Summer worked land is far the best
to insure n stand of crimson clover.
No other way is quite so good, Your
county agent will be glad to consult
with you in regard to The details of
preparation of the seed bed, and other
things about this crop.
Legumes such as crimson clover re-
Quire a special seed bed. Such seeds
must be planted shallow, and on firm
soil. They must not be, planted deep
or in loose earth.t They like a light
blanket of loose soil, however, if the
earth beneath them is firm. Legume
seeds should be sown, to obtain best
results, upon land that has been rolled

Why Tennessee people have not de.

rather mysterious. They just have not

divisions of extension specialists re-
marked the other day that a short
time AGO he ordered a mutton steak

he has continued eating this kind of
meat instead of the others.
Sheep owners can Increase the de-

Placing nice mutton roasts on picnic

Lime For Wheat.

Splendid results can be secured by
lining for wheat. The actual increase
in bushels in experiments made with
lime for wheat was not so great as
that made by corn, but the percentage
was the SAME.
The wheat increased its yield about
20 per cent where lime was applied.
From this, it is shown that farmers
who contemplate growing wheat this
year car very probably lime their
soils.
Tie effect of a moderate lining lasts
Eor a number of years. It's adyan-
ages have been noticed in some in

How to Apply.

Lime can be applied with a distribu-
tor, several makes of which are on the
market. None have as yet been made
ms perfectly as many are of the opin-
ion that they should be, but they have
many desirable qualities. They great
ly reduce the labor, and make possible
the more uniform spreading. A ma
nure spreader may be used, but its
efficiency is not equal to a lime
spreader.
The man who has only a small
amount to distribute can accomplish
this by hand. The best plan is to
throw the lime in small heaps on the
tract that is to be lined, and then
scatter it with a shovel. Foreground
heaps 21 feet apart each way make
two tons to each acre.
Ground limestone may be applied at
any season of the year, and for any
crop to suit the convenience of the
worker. The essential thing is to get
the lime on the soil, It is of course
desirable previous to clover rather
than to cotton. The lime always
should be we'll mixed with the soil. A
good plan is to apply to unplowed
land, disc it well into the soil, and fol
low this with the turn pillow.
