O GROWTH ON

OF EDITORS QUEST
Yeager's Article In The
Country Gentleman In
spires Trip; First Visit In
State.

Phillips S. Rose, editor-in-chief of
The Country Gentleman, will make a
visit to Rowan county about the mid
die OF September, according to infor-
nation Just received by W. G. Yeager,
county agent
The main purpose of his visit will
be to study the successful growth of
clover and lespedeza on Rowan's n
lined acid land.
Mr.. Yeager's article some time ago
IN The Country Gentleman, entitled.
~Kowan's New Way of Fattenine
Land and dealing with the discov-
cry that clover and lespedeza thrive
on unlimed acid soa.inspired the
ous
Rowan county. He will make a per-
sonal inspection tour of the various
farms In Rowan.
This is believed to be the editors
first trip to North Carolina. He will
spend only one day in the state and
that will be in Rowan county. No ad-
dress is scheduled but plans are being
made for several informal talks with
groups of farmers.
Mr.. Rose will be the guest of Coun-
ty Agent Yeager who will conduct
him over the county.
Prior to the discovery by Mr.. Yea
ger, the generally accepted theory had
been that sweet clover and lespedeza
required heavy lining and that the soil
in Rowan, which contains a minimum
of lime, was not suitable for the
growth of these plants. This idea has
been discounted and these plants thrive
on Rowan soil which has proved to be
unusually productive.
