Bread can be made during the day

Overnight Sponge Method.
Use the same proportions as for the

sUNFLoWER GOOD AS SJLAGE
Becoming Popular In Northwestern
Sections Where Corn 10 plffi-
cult to Grow.

The use of sunfiowers for silage has
proved popular In certain of the North
en Great Plains and Inter-MountaiD
states where it is not possible to pro-
duce large tonnage Of corn for silage
purposes. In some sections the silage
made from sunfiowers has been found
to compare favorably in palatability
and feeding value with silage made
from corn. This is not always the
case. however, as 1t appears that in
certain Irrigated districts In the North
ern Great Plains where the growth Of
sunflowers is rank and succulent, the
resulting silage is often not very pal
atable. Experiments reported from
the Huntley experiment farm In Mon
tana of the United States Department
of Agriculture show that while 1t Is
possible to produce from 25 to 30 tons
of sunflowers per acre, It has been diff
ficult to produce a silage that Is as
much relished by live stock as corn
silage, which gives rather less than
half as much tonnage per acre.

CRIMSON CLOVER
IS AID TO SOIL
Crop Is Usually Sown After a
Grain Crop and Is Ready for
Hay in Spring.
MOST EXCELLENT As LEGUME
Plant Does Not Withstand Extreme
Heat or Cold and 10 Best Adapted
to Soil Not Very Rich
Methods Of Seeding.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
A large part of the value Of crimson
clover lies In the ability which 1t shares
with other clovers to utilize the nitro
gen of the air and add it to the soil.
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. When en-
couraged to do this, crimson clover Is
valuable soil improver. II it is plant
ed on rich land 1t will utilize the nitro
gen already present in the soil and is
not stimulated to contribute anything
to Its own support or to the support OF
other crops.
Crimson clover is a winter plant Of
the true clover group. It is also known
as scarlet clover, French clover, Italian
clover and German clover. 1t Is the
only annual true clover that Is of more
than incidental agricultural Importance
in the eastern United States. 1t owes
Its place In the crop rotation Of the
Atlantic coastal plain to the fact that
1t can be planted when the land Is not
occupied by ordinary summer crops.
The many ways by WHICH this crop
may be utilized are discussed by plant
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture In Farmers
Bulletin 1142. "Growing Crimson Clo-
ver."
, An Early Importation.
Though it was brought from Europe
to this country in 1918, its value as u
forage plant was not recognized until
about 1880. The plant does not With
stand either extreme heat or cold. and
Is best adapted to soil that Is not
very, rich and to climate where the
winters are not severe. Ordinarily 1t
cannot survive the winter in attitudes
north of southern Pennsylvania, while
In some of the southern states it is fire.
quently killed by dry. hot weather In
the fall or spring.
Its growth is comparable to that of
winter wheat. Planted in the fall. 1t
lies more or less dormant throughout
the winter and completes its growth
In the spring. If the summers are not
too hot it, can sometimes be planted in
the spring and grown as summer
crop, but for this purpose other clovers
are usually preferred. Corn in the
summer with crimson clover in the
Cheyenne Wells record., 1921-09-15

winter Is cheap and convenient meth
improving crop In the same year. The
reputation Of crimson clover as crop
increaser Is largely based on this
simple rotation. Instances are by no
means rare where the yield Of corn has
been gradually increased from ten
bushels to as high as seventy bushels
to the acre by this means.
Seeding Crop Of Glover.
Crimson clover may be seeded In
practically any of the cultivated truck
crops, which receive their last cultiva-
ton from eight to twelve weeks before
the first frost. 1t Is not wise to seed
clover in late potatoes. sweet potatoes
or other root crops. as the digging In
the fall practically destroys the clover.
Neither does it do well when sown into
cowpeas. sorghum or watermelOns, 0w-
ing to the heavy shade cast by those
crops. The most common cause of
failure to obtain stand Of crimson
clover is a period of hot, dry weather
occurring after planting.
The roots Of crimson clover are ill.,
oculated by the same strain of bacteria
which occurs on the roots of all true
clovers; consequently field which
has produced good stand of red,
mammoth, alsike, white, hop, Carolina,
rabbits foot or buffalo clover is usu-
ally sufficiently inoculated for crimson
clover. Methods Of incubation, seed
ing, the choice Of seed and the treat
ment of the stand are fully described
In the bulletin, which may be had upon
request of the United States Depart
nent Of Agriculture, Washington, D. G.

That's what your pipe smoker does.
