MAKE CAREFUL PLANS
BEFORE BUILDING

A home, barn, a tenant nous, a
poultry house, and other houses on
the farm are built to give satisfactory
service for years. Fir this reason
every house should be correctly de-
signed, with careful consideration of
every detail that makes for conven-
fence, economy and comfort. A cor
rectly planned house often costs less
than house planned by some one
who knows nothing about architec-
ture or the planning of buildings.
There are many dealers in build
ing materials and manufacturers of
building equipment that have experts
to design houses of all kinds. These
service departments are composed of
men who specialize in buildings, and
who combine technical knowledge and
practical experience. Every farmer
should write to these manufacturers
and dealers for bulletins and booklets
containing plans for different kinds of
buiIdings.-The Progressive Farmer.

STOP solL-WASHINc AND
GROW LEGUMES

Probably 90 per cent Of all culti-
waited lands in the South are subject
to more or less erosion, and to at
tempt to build up such lands without
first stopping the washing is little
different from pouring water through
a sieve. On cultivated lands, the
broad terrace, properly laid out and
constructed, must always come first
as means of stopping washing; but
it should be supplemented with cover
crops, both winter and summer, an
abundance of vegetable matter plow-
ed into the soil, and deep blowing.
After we have reduced washing to
q minimum, we are ready to do some
soil-building, and for this purpose
summer and winter legumes must
come first. Nearly all good farmers
now grow peas, soy beans, velvet
beans or peanuts with their corn and
peas, beans or lespedeza after their
small grain, but this is not enough.
To these summer-growing legumes we
must add those that grow in winter
and early spring, particularly GRIM
son and bur clover clovers and vetch.
The liberal use of these in conjunction
with the summer legumes will mean
more nitrogen and humus and bigger
yields.-The Progressive Farmer.

FOUR CLOVER HINTS

Crimson clover seed at $12 per bu-
shell of go pounds seem high, but we
doubt if this is materially higher than
prices for every thing else we buy.

will seed an acre, and when we re-
member that an acre of good clover
is worth SIS to $25 as fertilizer,
the investment for. seed would seem
a most excellent enc. Make a start
with clover this fall, and then next
spring save your ewn planting seed.
Boiling bur clover seed for one min
ute as described elsewhere in this
issue is an excellent means of secur-
ing quick and uniform termination.
When bur clover seed are boiled they,
usually come up in few days, while
if not boiled termination is slow and
irregular, some of the seed not COM
ing up for months. Where boiling Is.
practiced we would recommend for
bur clover the same seeding as for
crimson clover.
If you are growing crimson clover
for the first time, be sure not to neg
lect the matter of incubation. Our
favoritc method of inoculating is to
use 500 to 1000 pounds per acre OF
soil from field that has successfully
grown crimson, red, white or alsike
clover, scattering it broadcast and
narrowing in with the seed. 1t such
soil is not easily available, the pre-
pared cultures may be used with very
good results. Don't fail to inoculate
if you would successfully grow Grim
son clover. Bur clover when sowed
in the bur requires no incubation.
Speaking of clover, here's an inter
esting observation from an exchange:
Zone man makes the statement that
in the last ten years he has observed
that every man who has put in clover
has also painted his house and out
housesw There are two ways to ex-
plain this fact: Explanation No. IS
that a man who is progressive enough
to grow clover regularly is also pro-
gressive enough to wish to live in
painted house. Explanation No. 2
is that man who grows clover re-
gularly soon gets his land to such
state of productiveness that ne can
afford to paint his house. We will
let each reader decided which expla-
nation is right-but our belief is that.

buildings are located conveniently
with respect to each other, and still
it is almost impossible to get around
in the barnyard on account of the
mud. The water from the buildings
may also be run into a cistern or
tank in order to reduce the mud to the
minimum, but it is almost impossible
to prevent mud in the barnyard, espe~
cially during the winter months.

to put down a concrete floor on every

Permanent Pastures

In order to make a success of rails.
ing livestock, one must have plenty
Of good permanent pastures, for these
will help to build up the land and les
sen the cost OF feeding the farm ami
mails. According to information gath
cred from experiments with grasses
and clovers in permanent pastures
there are two grasses and two cloyers
that have been found best adapted to
North Georgia conditions. These are
Bermuda and Dallas grass, and Lespe-
deDa Japanese clover and White
clover.
Bermuda and Lespedeza are better
adapted to dry uplands and Dallas
grass and White clover to damp low
lands. One will find that damp low
lands sodded with Dallas grass and
White clover will furnish the best pas
ture for this section of the country,
and as rule wet bottom land will
pay better in this kind Of pasture than
it will when cultivated.
Burmuda grass may be seeded from
the seed but it is better to mark off
the field with burrows two feet apart
and then drop small pieces of Ber-
muda sod in these burrows and throw
some dirt on the sod with the foot or
by means of another furrow with the
plow. Where Bermuda grass pas
ture is to be started the land should
be broken with a two-horse plaw in
the fall and. the Bermuda sod put
oat early the next spring. Be sure to
keep all livestock off the field until
the Bermuda has gotten good start
Lespedeza goes with Bermuda be-
cause it will stand the drouths and
then furnish good grazing. After havr
ing followed the instructions. about
Bermuda, one may seed his field in
Lespedeza by scattering from fifteen
to twenty pounds Of seed per acre and
thea cover lightly with harrow. If
one has Lespedeza growing wild on his
place, he may scrape up the top OF
the soil around the plants and scatter
this over his field instead of buying
seed. This method will not give as
good a stand for the FIRST year, but
will be cheaper.
Dallas grass and White clover
SHOULD be sowed in the early spring.
1t is a good plan TO break the land
in the fall and then in the spring SOW
from four to six pounds of White clo-
yer seed to the acre and cover lightly
with q harrow. Then mark the field
with burrows three to four feet apart
and scatter from FIVE to ten pounds Of
Dallas grass seed per acre in these
burrows. No covering is necessary
but if possible these seed should be
distributed before a rain.
The county agent will be glad to
help any one who wishes to start
good permanent pasture.
