CRIMSON CLOVER
IS AID TO SOIL
Crop Is Usually Sown After a
Grain Crop and Is Ready for
Hay in Spring.

Plant Does Not Withstand Extreme
Heat or Cold and Is Best Adapted
to Soil Not Very Rich
Methods of Seeding.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuture.)
A large part Of the value Of crimson
clover lies in the ability which 1t shares
with other cloyers 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. If it is plant
ed on rich land it 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 winter plant OF
the true clover group. 1t 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
It's place In the crop rotation OF the
Atlantic coastal plain to the fact that
it can be planted when the land Is nor
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

ver."
An Early Importation.
Though it was brought from Europe
20 this country in 1918, its value as II
forage plant was not recognized until!
about $780, 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 latitudes
north Of southern Pennsylvania, while
in some Of the southern states 1t 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. II the summers are MOI
too hot 1t can sometimes be planted In
the spring and grown as summer
crop, but for this purpose other clovers
are usually preferred. Corn In the

winter is q cheap and convenient meth
cd of growing a cash crop and soil
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 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 a stand Of crimson
clover Is a 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
cloyers; consequently q field which
has produced a 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
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d. &.

Really an exceptional crook story one that is hardened by the utter lack of morals and fierce actions of real hopeless crooks and softened with sym pathy for a young pair who have hap lessly become enmeshed in a life that they wish to abandon.
 The idea is brought forth that the ruthless vengefulness of the law where the system of once a crook always a crook and forever shadowed, Is ob- served Is often attended with tragic results.
 The crook idea of the story is pre- scented straight from the shoulder" The plot deals with the lives of a group of crooks and the romance of two of that class who have ideals above the "profession." The fights are realistic to the point of being terrifying.
 Priscilla Dean is particularly good. She is found in the very thick of the exciting incidents that include fights and escapes Also in the portrayal of the hardened girl who is irritably un- happy from an unconscious desire to do better, she wins sympathy. Wheeler Oakman. who is the principal male character in the love theme, is extreme ly handsome and stands out strikingly against Lon Chaney's rough characteri- ration of Black Mike.
