Oh that such a gospel of soil sal
walton" could be mingled with thai
of the gospel OF soul salvation" to
the detriment of neither and to the
betterment of both. Such a gospel
taught in the ~ulpit, IN the public
schools, in the home, would eventu.
ally bring temporal blessings un-
dreamed of by the great masses to
whom it remains to make the "dcs-
ert blossom as a rose and thereby
to fulfill prophesy.
Thorough preparation ANA inten-
sive cultivation will always be nc
cessary to our success, but if we go
no further our doom is sealed in
soil robbery, resulting in high cost
of production and continued poverty
of the masses, and in, Improbable
business.
l. visited small farmer recently
who sowed Burr clover few years
ago. He made the mistake of boil
ing his seed before planting, and
failed to reinoculate( and thereby
destroyed nearly all the inoculating
bacteria and got only few plants
to grow successfully. He had nerve
and faith, however, and even went
to the expense OF building wire
wencc around the plot and each
year spreading the seed over more
ground. His plan is to gradually
spread seed as grown, until he COW
ers- his farm. Such patience and
such faith deserves commendation
and if continued, will crown his ef-
forts with success. Don't go into
winter legumes on large scale,
but grow into the practice as seed
arc produced and the soil bacteria
developed.
If at first you do not succeed,
try, try again. for the first inocu-
latlon of seed does not always in
Sare success, just as the first vacci-
Aation for smallpox does not always
take"
Each farmer who wants to plant
a winter legumt for seed production
to start with next fall, will see or
write the County Agent at once
not next month. 1t takes time to
get up a cooperative order for a
whole county and then more time
to get the seed here and get them
in time to plant them
at the proper time.
Remember that for soil improve
ment, alone, velvet beans may be
planted alone up to July 70 Better
order now before prices advance,
as they will likely do as the supply
decreases.
