eSsary to put on enough to complete
~ satisfy the lime requirement. The
pennsylvania station has shown that
lime requirement of 500 pounds per
acre or less did no great harm, but
when more is needed it must be sup
piled If clover is to do we'll Sol with
lime requirement of 1000 pounds or
more per acre will usually not make a
paying crop of red clover. If the
wheat ground needs lime the clover
! should be seeded with spring grain
with lime narrowed in on the plowed
! ground. If this can not be done the
limestone may be put on the wheat
! and narrowed in with the seed, though
! it is not SO effective when applied in
| this way as when spread on plowed
ground and narrowed in. Farmers
looking ahead for several years should
| consider Inning the corn field next
spring, especially if this is to be fol-
lowed by wheat with clover on the
wheat in 1921. Corn responds to linn
ing more than small grains do and
limestone put on in this way will pre-
pare the ground well for a subsequent
clover crop. Used in this way the
full amount necessary to satisfy the
lime requirement should be used, as
some will be lost in the drainage water
and some will be removed by the corn
crop. A coating of manure will help
| clover, and on some soils phosphates
are essential.
In some cases, too, potash gives
good results, but potash is still scarce
and its use will not be warranted un-
lies the farmer knows that it is need
ed. A word of warning must, how
ever, be added in the discussion OF
lime. Lime is not fertilizer, and il
used persistently without adding or
ganic matter in the shape of manure
or crop residues will eventually leave
the soil the poorer When clover is
grown tho nitrogen will largely take
Icare of itself, but phosphorus and
i sometimes potash will have to be add
ed as soils need them. And most OF
all will they need organic matter.
/ Good clover crops lie at the found
alton of agriculture in the northeast
ern quarter of the United States Or
many farms good clover crops can not
be produced without lime, but lime
alone will not permanently help the
situation. A proper system of rota.
{, ton with clover as a regular element
in three or four year rotation must
be adopted for the permanent up
building of the land, and then what
ever else the land needs in the way OF
lime or fertilizer must be added there
to.

farmer, paying low price for poor
lot of seed, may really be paying
more for the good seed that will grow
than he would have in a sample of
higher price. The only way to de-
eide this is to secure samples and quo
tations from reliable firms, and have
the seed analysed by the State sex
laboratory or by the seed laboratory
of the United States Departm mt of
Agriculture.
The attention of farmers is also
called very especially to the fact that
i Fpnch and Italian seed has been and
is being imported into this country
and that the experience so far conduct
ed by the Department of Agriculture
indicates that this seed will produce
a plant more subject to disease and
less hardy under our American condi-
ton than plants from our own seed.
| In sections where thnre is no disease
and if the winter is moderate a sue
cessful stand of clover may be secured
with imported seed but the chances
against success are always greater
than when using American seed. Far
mers are urged, therefore, to insist
upon a statement showing where the
seed offered them was harvested.
1t is also a time to consider with
more than usual care the means nee
essary for getting tho most out of the
seed sown. 1t will not pay to throw
expensive seed on poorly prepared
ground as was SO often done when
clover seed was cheap. The seed bed
should be we'll prepared. The best
way is not to sow the seed in early
spring on the wheat but to harrow il
in on the wheat or to SEED with a
spring grain in we'll prepared seed
bed Seeding alone without compan-
ion or nurse grain crop will often be
b. utter, but not always. If seeding
must be done on rather worn soil, il
/ is better to seed alone especially il
the field is not very weody. If a spe-
cial seed bed is prepared it should be
well compacted A freshly ploweo
and narrowed field is too open for the
best results. The soil must be com
pacted or the seed will dry out before
the young plants get their roots down
far enough.
Be Sure Whether Lime is Needed
Another matter of the utmost i'm
portance is to consider whether or not
the field it is proposed to seed needs
limo, Unless the farmer is sure, he
should send sample of the soil to his
State station and inquire. Not fan
from IS per cent of the arabic land
east of the Mississippi and north OF
the boundary of Tennessee needs lime
a good crop of clover. This fact car
not be too strongly emphasized. II
the soil is "sour" do not waste ex.
pensive red clover seed on it-let some
one else have it. But land need not re,
main sour. A ton or two of finely.
ground limestone per acre will, in the
! average case, put the soil into con
EDITION to grow clover. 1t is not nee.

of Putting in Seed.

During January the question of pur-
chasing clover seed and planning the
acreage to be seeded next spring will
be under consideration Glover SEED
is high priced and scarce and good
samples will command prices that
many farmers will be loathe to pay.
The United STATES Department Of
Agriculture, however, urges the seed
ing of as large an acreage as posi-
BILE. Tn, best information obtainable
shows that the foreign market is quite
as bare of clover seed as is our own.
The French and Italian supplies are
sold out, and there appears to be no
surplus in Germany or in Russia. This
means that clover seed will be high for
at least two years to come if not more,
and those farmers who seeded last
spring or who seed in 1920 will have a
chance to sell their clover seed crop at
a good figure. This is timo to look
ahead, and for American farmers to
get the benefit of the high prices, be-
fore Europe has been able to get back
to normal production and the prices
fall
