Plant Velvet Beans in Corn.

Clemson College, May 27 - The
IS per cent. decrease In the wheat
crop, together with a tremendous
shortage Of other foods, makes it
imperative that the farmers shall
make every acre planted this year to
other crops than cotton, produce the
maximum of food and feed. Unless
this is done a. food famine will be the
certain result.
Corn will occupy large acreage in
South Carolina this year as usual;
but corn planted alone does not pro-
duce the lands maximum of food and
feed. 1t has been shown that when
legumes are grown with corn, larg-
er total amount of food and feed can
be produced than with corn alone.
Velvet beans surpass all other le-
,gumes for this purpose. and therefore
every acre of corn in the state this
year should be planted to this crop.
The creates yield of velvet beans is
always secured by planting early in
the spring, but they interfere less
with the growth of corn when planted
about one month after the corn. This
latter practice Is advocated this year,
for in this way a large amount of
forage for winter grazing will be Sc
cured in addition to a good corn crop.
The corn should be gathered in Nov
ember an dthe cattle turned in as
soon as frost falls.
The velvet beans should be plant
ed in the corn rows unless the corn
has been planted far enough apart to
allow the beans to be planted in the
middles. Two seed planted to a
place, 4 feet apart in the rows, will
require about 10 pounds Of the small
seeded varieties and about II pounds
of the large seeded varieties per acre.
The early maturing varieties. such as
the Yokahoma, Osceola, Wakulaa,
Tracey No. l, and Manatee. are advo-
Gated.

day that he will be in the race for
reelection this Summer. This is the
first indication of Mr.. Wolfe's plans,
and he Is the last state officer to in
dicate his purposes with regard to
the election this year. So far MT
Wolfe is without opposition. There
are few officers for which there is
more than one contender. The office
of Lieutenant governor and the chair

date.
Mr.. Wolfe states that he offers
himself simply on his record in the
office Mr.. Wolfe has made fine
state officer and has accomplished
much for the state. His recent re-
port for last year shows that collec-
tions made by the attorney general
through suits and otherwise totaled
$E5,0O0, and judgments obtained but
not collected up until the first part
cf this year totaled $12,400. or a to-
