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 "a growth left in
the ground, stock will feed on it all
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 it's roots
penetrate the soil deeply, for which
reason they remain green and full
of life during the entire growing sea-
son. Accordingly, 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
er 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 it as hay
crop. On the contrary, experience has
shown that it is no more trouble to
cut or handle than a heavy crop of
red clover. Mexican clover, crabgrass,
or any other hay that makes a matted
growth. while 1t is 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 rooted 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 well established it
needs no further cultivation, being
able to control native weeds and
grasses without assistance. The roots
live for many years and 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 a little earlier II
one can get the ground ready. A 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 aud 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 vines or runners
and subsequent moving for hay. After
the first year the kudzu will not need
any cultivation ut all, as the vines will
root ut the joints.

Inc three roots so dug up were thrown

owner, the horse literally wore his
name off reaching under the bars of
the fence for the vine, while the neigh.
bOrs' cattle and hogs continually broke
through the fence to get 1t.
Becoming alarmed, lest the plant
might be poisonous, the owner of the
horse sent some of it to the depart
ment Of agriculture for an opinion. On
learning from this source that kudzu
had no poisonous properties that were
known of, he began Investigating and
experimenting, with the result that it
was found by repeated analyses to con-
tain an average of II per cent of pro-
tein, in one instance the percentage
being 1882. The average percentage
of protein in alfalfa is 14.3 per cent.

that make immense yields, but their
period OF mature life Is short. making
frequent paintings necessary In order
to have complete succession. The
velvet bean, for instance. is an all-sea-

until November. The cowpea, soy
bean. and the various sOrghums and
millets are good forage crops, but all
must be planted in succession and cul-

of the United States. Especially Is
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 new
plant, 1t was only year ago that any
extensive experiments were made with
It; the number of farms on which it
was grown was insignificant. In fact,
1t appears not to have been studiously
cultivated anywhere until Florida
man made the accidental discovery
that his live stock seemed to prefer 1t
to any other kind Of forage plant and
that they waxed fat upon it. AS this
was Mt 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.
1t was not only as a feed for his
farm animals that he discovered vir-
tue 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 it's roots
and adding this essential element to
the soil, 1t quickly built up poor and
WORKOUT land, making it fertile and
productive. In this respect he he
lieves 1t even superior to clover. al

season he made the best corn ever

son before had been planted to kudzu.

ever. What made the experiment more
interesting was the fact that this land
previously never produced a good crop
of any sort, being considered practi.
cally worthless.
All this came about as the result of
few vines which had been planted
on the lawn Of his home for orna-
mental purposes. Kudzu makes n
beautiful growth. the leaves being Of
1 dark green. and Is one of the fastest
growers known, producing dense
shade in a 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 ne grubbed It

cause the vines trailed all over the
lawn. making 1t impossible to keep the
growth confined to the summer house.

GRAPHOPHONE CO.
PLANS NEW STOCK

Washington holders of Columbia
Graphophone common stock have been
notified of a plan to exchange the
common stock of that company so
that each holder will represent more
convenient unit valuation Of the in
terest in common stocks.
To do this it is planned to amend
the certificate of incorporation SO
that the amount of common stock
will be 100000 shares instead OF
15O,OO The change will be effected
by exchanging each outstanding COM
mon share for ten of the proposed
shares.
A meeting of stockholders has been
called for August 10 to vote on this
plan, which was proposed in meeting
of the board of directors.
The board declares a written opin-
ion from the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue states that the eX-
change of common stock will give
rise to no taxable income.
The proposed plan when carried
out. will accomplish in respect of the
shares of common stock what, in the
case of a corporation having only
shares with par value, would amount
ito reduction in the par value of such
shares without any corresponding re-
duction in the aggregate par values
of the authorized or outstanding capi-
tai stock.
Under the proposed plan each share
holder will have only one vote for
every ten shares held. This is, equiv
alent to the one vote for every single
outstanding share at present.
Outstanding common stock. il the
plan as proposed is carried through,
may be turned In at the Franklin
Trust Company, in New York, and
transferred for shares in the new
common stock at the equivalent of
ten to one. after the I'd OF September.
This plan does not affect the pre-
ferred stock. nor WI the surplus ac-
count of the company be affected.
