prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
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,
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 a 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
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

ATTORNEY SURELY A WONDER

In Alabama they tell of a prosecut-

the vicinity and the admiration Of all,
especially the dusky portion of the
population.
Upon his withdrawal from office he
was at once sought out by those
charged with crime. Much to his dis

Tended resulted in the conviction Of
his clients. An aged darby, named Joe
