Carpet grass is found growing on
the loan soils, and on these soils it is
as good as Bermuda.
johnson grass is found growing on
the prairie soils, and it is used for
hay and pasture. AS hay plant, it
is equal to timothy in feeding value,
and from three to four tons per acre
can be cut annually. 1t is one of our
money crops, many of our farmers
having become wealthy from growing
it.
Sudan grass is used for hay, and
is very similar to johnson grass, ex-
cept that it must be reseeded every
year.
There are several other grasses
that grow well here, that are not ma
tive to this section, and they help to
make good pastures. Some of these
are: blue grass, orchard grass, red
top, and rye grasses.
SOY BEANS
Soy beans is one of the best sum-
mer legume crops to grow, as they
produce well on all types of soil, and
can be planted from March until
July, and mature seed. To get the
maximum yield from land, soy beans
should be planted with the corn al
the rate of one peck Of seed per acre
and by doing this, two good crops are
grown on the land at once. This is
one of the best ways to produce porl
as the two crops furnish a we'll bal
anced ration, and by hogging il
down, the cost is kept at a minimum

feed that is almost as rich as cottor
seed meal. The beans can be har
vested and stored away for winter

and hogs to Craze throughout the
winter. One of the best dairymer
in the county makes this his princi

letting them Craze it until March.

to growing cotton.
Monroe County has thousands of
acres of broad open fields that are
ideal for growing this crop, and with
our abundance of cheap labor, We
will continue to grow cotton.
However, we do not, and should
not, depend on cotton as our only
source of money, because the largest
creamery in the South, and the larg-
est hog-feeding plant are located
here; and this county can boast of
the fact that it has more alfalfa, and
alfalfa-lands, than any other county
in the state.
The dairy cows, hogs, beef cattle,
chickens, alfalfa, lespedeza, other
clovers and grass hays, along with
our wonderful climate, and evenly
distributed rainfall, furnishes this
section of the country with sources
of income that cannot be equalled
elsewhere.
ALFALFA
Monroe county has more good al
falfa land than any other county in
the state, and ships more of this hay
than any other section; but we
should continue to increase the acre
age in this crop, because there is no
crop that can equal it as a money
crop. December and January are
the only two months that we cannot
Craze alfalfa, and the fact that we
have this long grazing season, en-
ables farmers to produce as cheap
meat, of all kinds as can be done any
where. There are farmers in this
county who top the market every
year with their hogs and lambs.
Early fall-sown alfalfa usually
gives better results than that sown
in the spring.
MELLILoTUS, or SWEET CLOVER
Many years before alfalfa was
planted in this country, sweet clover
grew wild all along the roadsides,
ditch banks, and on lime rock hills,
and very few farmers realized that
it was any good as pasture plant,
or hay plant. 1t is now considered
to be one of our best pasture plants,
for it is biennial, making seed the
second year.

GRASSES OF MONROE COUNTY.
AS a pasture grass, Bermuda
stands at the top, as it furnishes an
abundance of nutritious grazing, and
fits in well with all other clovers and
grasses.
Dallis grass, or Paspalum, is a
coarser grass than Bermuda, has a
longer growing season, and or the

Crab grass is used for hay and pas
