These delta counties increased in

miles Of completion. which has been
80 long deferred that considerable
area of cultivation has been aban-
doned. This and the ravages Of the
boil weevil have greatly reduced the
development below that which would
have been realized under normal
conditions.
The State of Louisiana cannot be
analysed in the same way as the other
lower Mississippi River states, be.
cause one-third of its area is alluvia
or delta land, because its years OF
settlement are measured in centurle:
and because some measure of flooc
control has prevailed for like period
At the same time there are abou1
two million acres Of land still subjec'
to overflow from the Mississippi
River, SO the full benefits from fioot
control will not be realized until thi
vast area has been reclaimed.
The benefits thus far belong large
~
'ly to more substantial levees whicl
give added security to lives and prop
erty occupying the lands that hav'
long been in use, rather than an
great extension of new farm lam
areas.
The benefits are reflected in tn
farm land values, which have In
creased from an average Of $3.50
lper acre in 1900 to $46.51 per acr
in 1920 as derived from 15 parishe
fronting on the Mississippi River.

80 inches is not unknown. 1t is es-
timated that good stand Of Lespe-
deza will represent ton Of hay for
each 6 inches of its growth.
This plant will grow on almost any
Of the types of soil in the cotton belt,
but of course like most other plants
does best on q more fertile, well
drained soil. It is thought that no
plant is more suitable to follow cot
ton, as Lespedeza brings the soil back
to its former state Of fertility.
The custom of seeding Lespedeza
with oats has become more or less
a fixed habit among the producers,
as the oats, by virtue Of its shade,
keeps down weeds and grasses and
allows the Lespedeza to make rapid
growth. However, just as good crops
can be produced when the seed is
sown alone; but seeding with oats
has the advantage Of giving the
planter two crops from the same
ground during the year, with but one
cost of cultivation. Experience indi-
Gates that one bushel Of seed (25
lbs.) per acre is about the right
amount to be planted. It requires no
incubation, as the rough little jack
cts containing the seeds garry enough
from the fields from which they are
taken to insure perfect incubation.
No special soil preparation is nec-
essary, although it has been demon.
strated beyond doubt that soils well
supplied with phosphates will pro-
duce the greatest growth.
4 The method Of harvesting the hay
will depend somewhat on the grade
Of hay desired. In any event, the CHIEF
effort should be directed to the pre-
servation of the leaves upon the stem
as they constitute great part Of th'
feeding value. Cutting is not startet
!. until the plants are in full bloom
and the hay should not be cut whik
the dew is on or while wet from rain
) Little need be said in favor OF Les
/ pedeza hay as a feed for all kind

: ing comparative analyses: Timoth
, contains 2.S percent protein, e..
: percent carbohydrates and Ia per

percent protein, $40 percent carbt

S it has the advantage Of being IRE

n When used as a pasture with otht

LEsPEDEZA AS A SUBSTITUTE
FOR COTTON.

Lespedeza, one Of the South's
greatest legumes, is the title OF an
interesting article prepared for, the
Lespedeza Seed Growers Cooper
ative Assn, Inc, by DIR. K. E. Lewis
Bains, Louisiana, a prominent farm
er who is specializing in the growing
Of this profitable crop.
While the name, Lespedeza, was
supposed to have been given thi'
plant by botanists in 1900; it was
not until 1880 that it received the
attention its merits warranted, as
commercial farm product, under th'
development of Col. J. B. McGehee
of Laurel Hill, Louisiana, who rec
ognized its value as feed for farm
animals and as a soil builder, ant
who sang its praises for years. 1t
place in southern agriculture is du'
largely to Col. McGehee, says Dr
/ Lewis.
/ Lespedeza is an annual, maturing
its seed in the fall, which shatte
/ readily and reseed the ground TO
the coming year. Normally, thes
seeds which shatter off at maturin
! time remain dormant until the warmt
and moisture germinate them. 1t
the practice to plant from Februar
