Planting cover or green manure
crops is matter which requires Mt
tention In August or September In
most parts of the United States, say
experts of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Glover, vetch and other legumes
serve the triple purpose of adding hu-
mus TO the soil, accommodating nitro
gen and preventing soil erosion. With
some tender berry and fruit crops they
also serve to protect the roots from
severe winter weather Outside of
the nitrogen-forming plants, rye Is
largely used rs a cover crop sown in
the fall and plowed under In the
spring TO add organic matter to the
soil. The cover-crop problem varies
largely with locality, but for over
winter purposes there is one rule
which is universal, and that is to get
the crop In the ground In time to Sc
cure good growth before frost.
A Practice of Long Standing.
The use of clover or some other |
legume to enrich the soil is generally
cardinal agricultural
practice in the humid sections Of the !
United States. 1t antedates by three
quarters of century the monumental
discovery that legumes store up nj

When to Sow Cover Crop.
The time of planting and the hest
crop to use is a matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast II ~ considered
best TO get these crops 10 from the
first to the middle of August while
In the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme North hairy vetch is favored
as Iegume. cover or green manure
crop but rye Is also largely planted.
From middle Pennsylvania to the
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results. In the extreme
South bur clover. vetch and crimson
clover are used. as well as velvet beans
and cow peas.
Wherever clean cultivation is prac-
feed the soil Is likely to be In shane
for broadcasting the seed. If conven-
lent, II can be narrowed In. In or
chards light narrowing or diskIng
may be employed II the ground is free
rom sod. Care must. Of course, be |
aiken not to injure the roots. The

pring. but this is not always done
With orchards Data collected In all

Cover crops are of especial value to

Arthur Minton, serious-faced
chap, took the picture, first respect

with lips from which only sweetness
and charity fall--with hands worn |

win her-and I wouldn't make her
loyalty jest of my fraternity"
With that he flung himself out of
the smoking room and locked himself
In his own. So, he reflected Perkins
was the man Nell loved so devotedly-
the man for whom she refused him.
He went back over the golden sum-
mer days two years ago when he first
met her. He had been touring through
the wonderful northern Vermont
country-when there had been an ac-
cident to his machine and he was
hurled over the embankment. Nell
off on solitary stroll, found him
ying senseless, a mass of decorations.
