A large part OF the value Of crimson
clover lies In the ability which It shares
with other clovers to utilize the nitro
gen Of the air and add it to the soil,

Department of Agriculture. When en-
outraged to do this, crimson clover is

Crimson clover is winter plant OF
the true clover group. It is also known

clover and German clover. 1t Is the

reputation of crimson clover as crop
lncreaser 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

Seeding Crop of Glover.
Crimson clover may be seeded In
practically any of the cultivated truck
crops, which receive their last cultiva-
tion 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 1t do well when sown into
cowpeas, sorghum or watermelons. ow-
ing to the heavy shade cast by those
crops. The most common cause of
failure to obtain stand of crimson
clover is period of hot, dry weather
occurring after planting.
The roots of crimson clover are in
oculated by the same strain of bacteria
which occurs on the roots of all true
elovers; consequently a field which
has produced good stand Of red,

Seeks Farmers Cooperation in
Starting Curb Market
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Club Adopts Rotary Member
ship Plan New Limit

The Clup meeting was marked by
the increased attendance and growing
interest that is evident of late. The
question of membership has become
more important since the limit of one
hundred was decided upon.
1t was decided that those members
who are termed delinquent by the
constitution will have to be dropped
to give place to more interested and
promising candidates on the waiting
list. The Executive Board will pass
judgement on these at the next meet
ing The house committee was in
structed to purchase more chairs.
The floral committee was praised for
their contribution and by happy sug-
gestion these flowers were carried af-
ter the meeting to our former presi-
dent Mrs S. G. Pryor Sr. who is
detained for several weeks at the hos
pital
Announcement came from the Ii
brary board that the interest of the
club was asked in a benefit show to
be staged by the local Order of Elks
next month and from which the Ii
brary is to receive donation of $1OO.
Mrs. Shewmake and Mrs. Womble
were committee from the High
School to ask the cooperation of the
club making success of benefit
by company of Swiss BellRingers
onFebruary 10th. The net proceeds
will be used to pay for the new labor
atory equipment. A pledge of help
was unanimous. On the regular pro-
gram was first of all a beautiful
tribute to Robert E. Lee in token of
his birthday given by Mrs. r. E. Lee.
Another delightful number was the
, skillful rendition of classic piano
solo by Miss Dorothy Thurmond of
which she gave first verbal interpre-
tation which added much to the APP
probation.
The main topic before the Club was
that of the Curb Market which devel-
oped in a practical and concise way
by Mrs. c. D. Carol whose wide
experience gives her the viewpoint of
the buyer and of the seller. Mrs. VIM,
Howe and Mrs. Frank Ward added
their endorsement to the plan and
the entire club expressed by a rising
vote their willingness to try it. A
committee was retained to arrange
with other authorities such as the
Farm Bureau and City Council or
the Chamber of Commerce for the
most convenient place and time for
an early meeting between the farm
ers or hucksters and the housewives
for marketing purposes. From this
simple beginning it is expected that
there will be an increased production
of green or fresh vegetables together
with increased supplies of eggs, chick
ems and dairy products. Since there
is hardly doubt that the demand
will exceed the supply this condition
will afford the necessary stimulus.

Tells Leader Reporter of Horri-
BILE Conditions There

Mr.. S. Gershon, of Atlanta, senior
partner of Gershon and Kruger, pro-
prietors of the Fair Store, will re-
turn to Poland in March to direct re-
lief work around Warsaw AMI Brest-
Litovsk. He spent all last summer as
relief director in Poland, returning
in October. and his efforts were so
effective that he was recently asked
by the Kobriner Relief Committee to
return. Mr.. Gershon is i'll Fitzgerald
this week arranging his business in
terests here so he can leave for Poland
in March.
Mr.. Gershon declares the condition
with which he was faced in Poland
last year were simply beyond descrip-
ton, so horrible they were. Hundreds
of thousands of children were beyond
possibility of saving and hundreds
of thousands more rapidly becoming
so feeble through starvation and ex-
posure that they could expect nothing
more than slow death.
ITS impossible for us in this bless
ed country to even conceive of the
horrible plight of those people across
the sea-" declared Mr.. Gershon with
emotion. without food, without
clothing, without wood or coal to burn
they are starving and freezing. Lit
tie children are being kept alive on 3
cents day of American charity and
! the pity of it is that even at that mea-
ger price there is money enough to buy
life for only small portion of those
who are perishing.
"You talk about hard times in this
! country" said Mr.. Gershon with a
laugh that was kin to a sob, "What
nonsense! Show me one person in
all this Southland who is actually
suffering for want of food or want of
sufficient clothing to keep him warm
: and l will feed him and give him
clothes. We have no suffering here
perhaps that is why response to the
plea of Poland is not more liberal
Perhaps if there was real suffering
here we could understand and sympa-
thize and would give little more OF
our plenty to those who have moth
ing"
Mr.. Gershon explained that it has
been impossible for the people in the
regions that are asking for relief to
raise any crops for more than six
years Since 1914 it has been an ac-
tual battlefield. Always between
planting and harvest times an invad-
