PLANT LEGUME CROPS
For Livestock and to Improve
the Land

In putting in the field crops for
this year, Florida farmers should
not forget to put in as large acre
age as possible to some legumi-
nous crop or crops. There are a
number of legumes well adapted
to conditions in this state, but
probably there is none better than
the velvet bean. Prof. John M.
Scott of the Experiment Station
urges the farmers to plant velvet
beans along with the corn. The
yield of corn will be reduced but
Slightly, and experiments at the
Station show that the yield of vel
vet beans is greater when planted
in every other row of corn than
when planted in field by them
selves.
Another important legume is
the peanut. This is important
not only as a hay crop but as a
grain for fattening hogs. Last
year a large acreage of peanuts
was planted along with the corn
either in every other row or be.
tween the hills in the row. This
furnished an excellent feed fol
hogs, and in most cases was harv
ested by the hogs.
The cowpea and beggarweec
are legumes that are well worth
growing as a hay crop. Prof
Scott says that if they are grown
for no other purpose than as {
soil improver they will more thar
pay for the cost of production.
Where possible to do so every
acre of land should be growing
some legume crop.

CAST.oFF CLOTHING
For War Sufferers in Ruined
Parts of Europe

Some Punta Gorda people are
guilty of a sinful waste of cloth
ing. They throw into the trash
pile clothing that would be a
god-send to the naked and starv-
ing people of the war-torn regions
Of Europe and Asia. Their Christ
ian duty is to gather up their
cast-off clothing and shoes and
give them to the Red Cross, which
is conducting a campaign this
month for the relief of the suffer-
ing mentioned.
The notice of the movement
taken from Sundays Times-Un-
ion, is earnestly commended to
all Herald readers and particu-
larly to the local chapter OF the
Red Cross:
With the clothing problem one
of the most serious is faced by
the people liberated by war, the
American Red Cross as part OF
Its program of shipping million
garments a month to destitute ref
ugees will conduct a mammoth
collection of used clothing, shoes
and blankets throughout the
limited States during March. Red
Cross representatives abroad and
Herbert Hoover, head of the Eu-
|ropean relief administration have
cabled that an immediate supply
of every kind of clothing is abb
solutely vital to the health and
very life of millions of men, wo-
men and children freed from the
| German yoke. The field for re-
lief in northern France, Belgium,
Italy, Roumania, Serbia, Greece,
Montenegro, Palestine, Albania,
| Czecho-Slovakia and Poland is so
vast that the main problem can
only be COPIED with by the allied
governments. Very valuable sup
Elementary relief can be rendered
by the Red Cross, however, and
accordingly it's millions of mem
bers and the American people at
large will be asked to assist by
the donation of old clothing that
will prove veritable God-seend
to those who have borne the
brunt of Germany's assault on
civilization. The collection will
be made at a time when practical
ly the whole country is discarding
winter clothing, much of which
will never be donned again by the
owners. At least 10000 tons OF
clothing is needed in this drive
which will be conducted by all
Red Cross chapters. Without de.
lay the garments will be shipped
to a concentration point and for.
warded to Europe where they
will be sorted and repaired by the
people for whose benefit they
have been collected, the distribu
ton being made under American
supervision.
