Data Relative to the Use of Kudzu
Vines

Data Relative to the Use of Kudzu
Vines
r. E. v, Savannah. Ga, writes:
would like some information in regard
to Kudzu. How is it planted and cult
waited, and for what is it valuable s..
There are a good many things to
be said in favor of Kudzu, but there
is probably a tendency to overes-
aggerate it's merits and value at the
present time for certain purposes.
Kudzu belongs to the leguminouS
family and is valuable to plant on
rough, broken land which it is desir-
ed to cover up and make valuable
for pasturage. This plant, as you
know, originated in Japan and has
many of the virtues of the legumes.
The roots are thick and fleShy and
therefore rich in starch. In Japan
they are used for making cakes. The
stems yield a valuable coarse fiber.
We have never used the Kudzu in
this country except for ornamental
purposes for planting on broken and
rough land and for cultivation on
bare areas of soil with the idea of
harvesting and cutting for hay. This
crop is best established from cut
tings. In the south it will frequent
ly make a growth of as much as
so feet in a season: In composition
well with alfalfa. 1t is quite
coarse and very easy to cure 1t is
difficult to handle because of the
length of the vines and the tangled
growth resulting. therefrom. We are
inclined to think it's principal value
will always be for pasturage pur-
poses on rough, broken land where
other crops cannot be cultivated to
| advantage and where there is ten
dency for the land to wash.
Along the gulf coast this crop
can be established at almost any
season of the year. Farther north
it should be planted early in the
| spring. We do not believe Is has
prospect of taking the place. of
any other leguminous crops which
we are now cultivating except on
soil locations and under such con-
ditions as we have described.

Warts may be removed in several
ways. One method is to tie a string
around them and tighten it from time
to time. This causes them to come
off. Another method is to cut them
off with a sharp knife and scar the
wound with hot iron. The third
method is to use acetic acid, put
ting it on very slowly with a drop
per until the wart is thoroughly
soaked. Where the warts are of any
SIZE we consider the first method
the simplest one to follow. When
tt ey are numerous and small the
second. method is probably the best.
1t is difficult to use the acetic acid
in just the right amount and degree
without injuring the puffy tissues
of the udder more than is desirable.
We believe that by employing one
or more of. these methods you can,
by exercising patience and skill in
the handling of this matter, sue
coed in removing the warts in ques-
tiOn satisfactorily.

CURING MEAT en- THE FARM.

West Raleigh, N c., Jan, 6.-To
overcome some of the great losses
occurring annually in Eorth Carolina,
because OF . LACE o. general know
ledge about butchoring, cutting and
curing meat the agricultural extern
sion workers OF the State College and
Department Of Agriculture are givins
demonstrations in different sections
showing just how this work is best
done. At the same time, the utiIiza-
ton of the by-producGs is also stress
ed in order that the annual loss suffer
ed each winter may be reduced as
much as possible.
The swine extension specialists are
equipped with complete butchering
outfits with which they show the
proper methods OF sticking, dressing,
and cutting up the hogs. The new
method OF curing the meat by the use
of the brine solution, together with
the smoking and sacking, are all ex-
planned and demonstrated.
This work has been put on to avoid
the great loss annually suffered by the
State because Of improper methods OF
curing and handling the farm meat

could save several thousands dollars
OF losses each year by improving their
methods. He has prepared EXten-

his hunts for big game taking him in

Upon his return from his African

OF Germany--he arrived in New York
to experience the greatest ovation
an American private citizen was ever
accorded by the people of his country.
This was in 1910. At the head of an
exploring party in South America in
1914 he discovered and followed for

Married Twice.
A few months after his graduation,
Roosevelt married Miss Alice Lee OF
Boston. She died in 1884, leaving one
child, Alice, now the wife of Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio. In 1886 Roosevelt married Miss
Edith Kermit Carow, of New York,
and to them five children were born

IN 1882, 1883 and 1884 he was elect
ed to the New York state assembly.
When the republican national conven-
ton Of 1884 was held, in Chicago, he
was chairman of the New York state
delegation.
After this experience he dropped
out Of politics for two years. Going
west he purchased ranches along the
Little Missouri river, in North Dakota,
land divided his time between outdoor
sports, particularly hunting, and lit
erary work.
The Rough Riders
Returning to New York he was de-
feated for mayor, in 1886. President
Harrison in 1889 appointed him a
member of the United States civil
service commission and President
Cleveland continued him in this office,
which he resigned in 1895 to become
New York city's police commissioner.
Illicit liquor traffic, gambling, vice in
general-of these evils he purged the

until about eight years after he left
the white house that it was disclosed
that during one of these bouts, a blow

When the European war began
Roosevelt vigorously advocated uni
versal military training for the nation,
and criticized, in this respect the poll

Work as President.

At the height Of his public and po
litical career, during the four years
of the term for which he had been
elected, Roosevelt accomplished
achievements which historians will
rank high in the International and in
dustrial progress of the country.
They included his influential negotia-
lions which conducted at Portsmouth,
n. H, effected peace between Russia
and Japan; maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine at a period when Euro
pean powers were interested in the af-
fairs of Venezeula; the recognition of
Panama as a republic and his treaty
with Panama by which the inter
oceanic canal through that country
was put under way; and the settle
ment of the Pennsylvania coal mine
strike. For his part in terminating
the Russo-Japanese conflict he was
awarded the Nobel peace prize in
1905. Four years later, once more a
private citizen, he was special am
basSador from the United States at the
funeral of King Edward VII of Eng
land.
The Split at Chicago.
Roosevelt's influence resulted in
Taft's nomination for president in
1908, but in 1912 the two men had
become estranged, and on Taft's re-
nomination Roosevelt withdrew with
his followers from the famous Chic
ago Convention and organized the
Progressive Party as opposed to the
"Old Guard" Republicans. This split
resulted in the election of Woodrow
Wilson by the Democrats. In the
course of this campaign, as he was
leaving hotel in Milwaukee, to go to
meeting hall to make political ad-
dress, an insane man standing in the
street fired a shot which struck the
