Mother Nature Is a Kindly Old Dame

DRESCOTT, ARIZ.-The body of
August Kaufman, automobile
tourist from Pasadena, Cal, was
found on the desert 80 miles west of
Congress Junction, 40 miles south of
here, by Mohave county officers. The
man had perished from thirst and ex-
posure, after wandering for ~ hours
In search of water.
Kaufman, with his wife and three
children, was travelling overland from
Pasadena to a little ranch in Pinal
county. He took a short cut between
Yucca and Congress Junction.
The supply of water became low,
so Kaufman left his car and started
afoot in search of a fresh supply.
For rs hours the wife and three
children remained in the machine
awaiting his return. Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Ruddy, en- route from Yucca 10
their ranch near by, succored the
stranded family.
Searchers for Kaufman traced him
from his car to the spot where the
body was found. In his travels, he
had passed within 90 yards of an arti-
fetal reservoir of water for sheep
and cattle, the searchers said.
Moreover, it developed that Kauf-

prepared by the United States Depart

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 10 the soil,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. When en-
cOuraged TO do this, crimson clover is
valuable soil imprOver. II it is plant
ed on rich land ii 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
its place in the crop rotation of the
Atlantic coastal plain to the fact that
it 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

Its growth is comparable to that of
winter wheat. Planted in the fall, it
lies more or less dormant throughout
the winter and completes its growth
in the spring. If the summers are not
too hot it can sometimes be planted in
the spring and grown as a summer
crop, but for this purpose other clovers
