Il any wonder that so few farmers now
plant the kudro, is IL no wonder that
all prospective settlers are not coming
as fast as we would like them when
they are told that our soil is underlaid
with deadly poison which is sure death
to all plant growersp
We will again remind this wonderful
paragon that he again quoted sui
phuric acid instead Of phosphorlc acid.
Then he goes on and says that he can
safely mark this down as big knock
number two. We have to analyze as
we go along these damnRble state
ments made by this paragon; win
state again for the benefit of this
know-all that the kudzu is not a clover
but a legume, and as such absorbs the
nitrogen from the air. and its deep root
system takes up potash and phosphor-
ic acid from the subsoil, while its
leaves draw all OF the nitrogen needed
from the air: in this way the soil be-
comes richer every year, instead Of be-
coming exhausted as from growing
grasses for hay. These roots live TO a
great age; one planting Is permanent,

becomes more thickly set from the

planting; IL Is parental; and viii tell

kudzu. which the old man says IS
guilty OF bringing up the terrible poi

itself may do no harm. II helps clinch
the fact that the old mans line Of talk
Is wholly unreliable and untrustwor-

this knock number three. II does not
