something that Clark Griffith

that his old machine had run it's

things about his veterans. He

alone amounts to but 81 pounds.
AS a direct comparison of lime and
seed inoculation to no treatment what
ever, it has been found that sweet
clover under such adverse conditions
will add but 20 pounds of nitrogen to
the land, and only Is pounds will be
deposited in the soil by the roots.
These facts are well worth consider
ing when sweet clover is being sown
for land improvement purposes in ad-
dition to its use for pasture and hay.
Value of Sweet Clover to Dairymen
The value of sweet clover on the
dairy farm was discussed by Director
G. A. McCue Of the University of Del
aware, who also brought out the great
need of sufficient and profitable hay
crops on the average Delaware farm
where livestock is being raised. There
is no doubt that this clover will fill
this demand in way that no other
legume is capable of doing in this par
ticular section, and for this reason, it
is rapidly coming into prominence as
one of the principal pasture and hay
crops through the entire country.
Farmers in other states are realiz-
ing the value of this variety of clover
for their livestock, as well as for soil
improvement purposes, according to
reports that have been received from
the various agricultural experiment
stations throughout the United States
and during the past year there has
been an increasing interest in this
crop among the farmers in Kent
County and throughout the state as a
whole.

SWEET CLOVER FIELD MEETING
HELD ON SCHABINGER FARM
FARMERS OF KENT COUNTY IN
SPECT CROP ]. Fl. SCHABINGER
IS or More Farmers Gathered at His
Place May 10 and Hear Discussion
of This Fine Pasture Crop

The fact that considerable interest
is being shown by many Of the farm
ers in Kent County this spring in the
growing of sweet clover was demon
strated on Monday afternoon, May 10,
when approximately seventy five
farmers from the two lower counties
Of the State attended field meeting
of the farm of J. Harold Schabinger
near FELTON,, for the purpose of in
specting this variety of clover and
discussing its possibilities and advan-
tages as a profitable pasture and hay
crop for our Delaware farms. This
field meeting, which was in charge of
Kent County Agent Russell E. Will
son, was planned with view to Gre
ating more interest among the farm
ers in the growing of sweet clover,
and those who were present at this
demonstration were very enthusiastic
concerning the value Of this clover as
compared to the other varieties of
clover commonly used in this section
for pasture and hay purposes. The
first speaker on the program was Mr..
Schabinger, who is recognized as one
of the most successful growers of
sweet clover in the state, and through
whose cooperation this field meeting
was made possible. Mr.. Schabinger
has been growing this clover for the
past three years with excellent results
and in his remarks to the visiting
farmers, emphasized the importance
Of lime and seed inoculation as two
outstanding factors in the successful
culture of this crop. He.is also the
owner of herd Of pure bred Holstein
cattle, and his fields Of sweet clover
provide excellent pasture for his dairy
cows each season. During the past
season, he stated that twenty-four
head dairy cattle were kept on eight
acres of this clover, and that his cows
gave high production of milk thru
out the entire summer on this pas
ture.
Prof. G. L. Schuster Of Newark, Talks
Prof. George L. Schuster, Agrono-
mist of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, spoke on the chief
factors to be considered in the general
cultural practices in growing this
clover, and also stressed the import
ance Of using the white variety in this
part Of the country. He also present
ed some interesting figures pertaining
to the quantity Of nitrogen per acre
added to the soil by the sweet clover
plant. On land that has been lined,
and where the seed has been properly
inoculated, the entire plant will depos-
it 153 pounds of nitrogen to the acre,
while the roots alone will add SO
pounds of nitrogen. In the case Of
seed incubation only, the amount of
nitrogen deposited by the entire plant
is reduced to 90 pounds per acre, and
the quantity produced BY the roots

MIDDLETOWN TO LOSE PASTOR
Rev.John Townley Of the Presbyterian
Church Accepts Call to Point Pleasant

Church Accepts Call to Point Pleasant
Rev. John Townley, Pastor of For
est Presbyterian Church, Middletown,
has recently accepted new charge at
Point Pleasant, N. J., and will assume
his duties there on the first Sabbath
in June. The First Presbyterian
Church, of that town, is under the
Presbytery of Monmouth and has
membership of 200 as well as a Sun
day School membership Of 200. Rev.
Townley believes that he has fine
field for service there, especially with
the young people. His predecessor,
Rev. William z. Jones, d. D., died last
Fall after having faithfully served the
church for fifteen years. The future
outlook seems extremely encouraging,
the call to this charge being unanim-
Gus after members of that church had
heard sermons preached at Middle
town ON three different Sabbath days.
Point Pleasant is a summer resort 10
Gated on the ocean front about ten
miles south of Asbury Park and three
miles north of Barngat Bay. 1t has
summer population of 5000 and
boasts new grade. and high schools
with modern equipment. The church
is a fine example of Gothic architec-
ture and building program now un-
der way includes new gymnasium,
banquet hall and separate Sunday
School rooms for each class. The
manse is a beautiful modern building
located on a fine residential street
near the Church.
Rev. and Mrs. Townley have graced
Middletown community for over five
years and during that time have ac-
complished great deal of good work,
