any of the grasses, hays or folders dur
ing the period of curing means seri-
GUS injury If not complete ruin.
Kudzu's Hardy Qualities.
Kudzu. however possesses none of.
these disadvantages. One planting
lasts for many years and it may be
cut or pastured at any time during the
/ season, in north Florida. from about
the middle of April until frost comes.
And where there is growth left in.
the ground, stock win feed on 1t ali
winter. Stock. in fact, have been
known to eat the dead leaves and vines
which have lain out and weathered
until March. when It was hauled in for
bedding. in preference to the best hay
that could be bought. The vines do
not bloom or bear seed, and its roots
penetrate the soil deeply, for which
reason they remain green and full
of life a. ing the entire growing sea-
son. Acco ngy. the hay can be cut
any time when weather conditions are
suitable for curing hay, as kudzu is
not injured by waiting for good wealth
err as other hay crops are. In fact.
even if kudzu is thoroughly soaked
during the curing period, it will after
wards show little effect of wetting.
Most people might think that, be-
cause kudzu is vine, it must be very
difficult to cut and handle 1t as Il hay
crop. On the contrary, experience has
shown that ii Is no more trouble TO
cut or handle than heavy crop of
red clover. Mexican clover, crabgrass.
or any other hay that makes Il matted
growth, while 1t Il much easier TO han
die than either cowpea or velvet bean
hay. Unlike the cowpea and velvet
bean, kudzu is anchored to the ground
every few inches. and so the vines can
not drag ahead of the mower blade, as
in the case of peas and beans.
Kudzu should be propagated by
means of the Oote plants, for when
these plants are removed to new fields
they carry with them the bacteria, on
the tubercles of their roots, which are
necessary to inoculate the new soil in
order to secure the best results. When
the plant becomes we'll established it

able to control native weeds and
grasses without assistance. The roots
live for many years aud do not require
replanting after the first season.
The proper time for planting kudzu
is two or three weeks in advance Of
corn planting, or little earlier If
one can get the ground ready. full
crop of corn may be grown on the
same land during the first year by
simply dropping the grains between
the plants Neither crop will inter-
fere with the other and both need
about the same attention. The ground
however, should be left smooth and
level at the last cultivation TO permit
easy roofing Of the wires or runners
and subsequent mowins for hay. After
the first year the kudzu will not need
any cultivation at all. as the vines will
root at the joints

The three roots so dug up were thrown
on trash pile in one corner of the
yard, with the idea that, since 1t
wanted to run on the ground. it would
grow and conceal the trash pile.
1t not only did this the first season,
but continued to reach out until 1t COW

the fence for the vine. while the neigh
bors' cattle and hogs continually broke
through the fence to get it,
Becoming alarmed, lest the plant
might be poisonous, the owner of the
horse sent some of II to the depart
ment of agriculture for an opinion. On
learning from this source that kudzu

the fourth early in September.
While it is not claimed that kudzu

stances. and experiments have proved
that it is perfectly hardy all over the

Needed in the South.
What is needed in the South espe-
cially, is forage that stock can live
and keep fat on the year around. There
are many valuable cultivated crops
that make immense Yields, but their
period of mature life is short. making
frequent paintings necessary in order
10 have a complete succession. The
velvet bean, for instance, is an all-sea-
son crop. but it is not ready to feed
until November. The cowpea. say
bean, and the various sorghums and
millets are good forag" crops. but all

ception of kudzu, are open to objec-
ton through dropping their leaves ..ad

federation of the thirteen colonies into
a federal union was a political event
of prime import; today it is overshad-
owed by the thing of which Tennyson
dreamed. "The Federation of the
World" The Declaration of Inde-
pendence is state paper of such sig
niicance as TO stand in a class by it
self. It immortaliZed every man who
signed it. 'These united colonies are
and of right ought to be free and in
dependent states; absolved from all
allegiance to the British crown; and
all connection between them and Great
Britain. is and ought to be totally dis
solved" So run the words of fire the
idealism of which was to be made real
If need be, by the lives, as well as the
property and sacred honor of the sig
natories. But the Declaration of In
Independence of a,l free peoples will
overtop that of July 4, 1776, as the
oak overtops the daisy.
Great Patriotic Aim.
But at that time independence was
the biggest and best thing the fathers
could purchase in a war of seven
years. They could not enjoy the I'M
alienable rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness" while ruled
by Great Britain, for to be subject to
England meant to be robbed and ex-
plotted, Jailed or hanged at the behest
oe half-mad German, George III, who
wore the British crown.
And so the patriots proposed to
staSR alone, to be independent. They
proposed an equitable self-rule on lines
more liberal than ever had been tried
there were to be neither kings nor
kinglets but rather state of human
equality.

with that which they had JUST re-
nounced-kingcraft
Old Order Abolished.
But 1.-THE old order changeth, giving
place to new" Today, in 1919, the
proper social desire of the individual
is to live in a house by the side of
the road and be a friend to man." And
similarly, to live in the crossroads of
the nations and show vital interest in
all that pertains to humanity is the
proper attitude for the nation. The
setting for the next act on the world
stage must be big enough for inter-
dependence and internationalism. In
Independence is life and opportunity
for both. 'We must hang together or
we will hang separately"
BY maintaining independence and
aloofness the fathers hoped to suc-
coed; isolation spelled safety, and so
they trusted that deep, wide moat at
their front door, the Atlantic ocean,
would keep their foes at distance OF
5000 miles while they should gain

of the United States. Especially i,
this true of the southern states, where
the slow development of agriculture
has been due in large measure to the
lack of good nutritious pastures and
of roughage that lasts throughout the
entire year.
While kudzu is by no means q new
plant, 1t was only year ago that any
extensive experiments were made with
st. the number of farms on which II
was grown was Insignificant. In fact
IL appears not to have been studiously
cultivated anywhere until a Florida
man made the accidental discovery
that his live stock seemed to prefer II
80 any other kind of forage plant and
that they waxed fat upon 1t. AS this
was ut time when the high cost of
feed forced many farmers to reduce
the daily allowance of their animals.
he fastened to plant number of acres
to kudzu, with the most satisfactory re-
suits.
Builds Up Poor Land.
It was not only as feed for his
farm animals that he discovered vlr-
hue in the plant, however. He found
that, by reason of its power of extract.
ing nitrogen from the air through
the medium of the bacteria on its roots
and adding this essential element Ia
the soil. it quickly built up poor and
WORKOUT land. making 1t fertile and
productive. In this respect he be.
lieves 1t even superior to clover, al.
falfa and other leguminous plants. Last
season he made the best corn ever
grown in Florida. averaging 30 bush
els to the acre, on land that the sea-
son before had been planted to kudzu,
and this without any fertilizer what
ever What made the experiment more
interesting was the fact that this land
previously never produced good crop
of any sort, being considered practi-
cally worthless.
All this came about as the result OF
a few viaes which had been planted
on the lawn of his home for orna-
mental purposes. Kudzu makes a
beautiful growth, the leaves being of
a dark green, and is one of the fastest
growers known, producing a dense
shade in very short time. On the
lawn of this Florida man it was grown
to cover summer house.
So rapid was its growth, In fact, that
after the second year he grubbed il
out as something of n nuisance, be-
cause the vines trailed all over the
lawn, making II impossible to keep the
growth confined TO the summer house.
