CONTINUATION OF
THE KUDZU SERIES

AS promised the solution to the for
age question. Greatest feed and great
est need of the South today. The
greatest feed because it makes the
heaviest yields of any of the legumes.
the feed worth while because it con-
tains a maximum amount of protein.
AS high at 1882 per cent because it
holds its foliage the best of any of
the legumes and cures the quickest of
any known hays, because it does not
have to be cut at any certain time, but
may await the convenience of the
farmer or for favorable weather con-
ditions and unfavoreble for other hays
and will yield a fine quality of hay
often when continued showers and
dampness would mean ruin to any
other legume hay. Because it IS a
perennial and does not have to be
planted and cultivated every year or
every four years as is the case with
others. Because it does not have to be
lined or fortified and will succeed
on lands too poor and rocky and rough
to yield other profitable crops, be-
cause 1t is not injurious to horses or
other stock as is the case with alfalfa
and other legumes and stock do not
have to be tough or forced to eat it,
and stock eat Kudza greedily and
cleans up the last yestage because il
does not deplete the soil, but builds it
up and viii succeed on practically any
land not water soaked and not in a
desert, the greatest need of the South
today from an agricultural view is
more and better and cheaper feed.
Millions of dollars go out annually for
feed stuff that could and should be
grown here at home Millions more go
out for northern and western meats
that can and should be raised in the
South.
Thus the South is losing at both
ends of the purse When every dol
lar of it should be kept at home and
a big surplus besides. in the agricuI-
tural reports of July 1917 the State of
Florida alone imported one million
eight hundred and sixty thousand dol
lars worth of hay alone from the North
and West and two million and a half
for western beef and pork every year,
and there is no better state in the
union. better adapted to raising of all
kinds of stock and all kinds of feed
