HAY AND PASTURE CROPS
More and Better Hay and Pasture
Crops Urged by Russell e. Will
SON, County Agent-Survey Made

a
According to the 1880 farm
census the hay acreage in Kent
county was reduced from 22,707
in 1919 to 81, 3O6 acres in 1929, and
the total production of hay for
this county likewise has been low
cred from 1854 to 22,747 tons
during this period. Taking these
facts into consideration, cam
paign for the growing of more and
better pasture and hay crops in
this county was started a few
years ago under the direction of
county agent Russell E. Wilson,
and some outstanding results have
been accomplished in that the le
gume acreage has been materially
increased since the last farm Gems
us was taken, with the result that
many farmers have more hay on
their farms today than they had
a few years ago to feed their dairy
cattle and other livestock. In the
program for the improvement of
the hay situation, alfalfa remains
as one of the major projects in
Kent county, and this work will be
continued until the acreage of this
hay crop has been increased suf-
fciently to meet the demands, as it
has ben proven that no other le-
gume can take its place on the
farms in this section of the coun-
try. It is the opinion of many
farmers that more profit per acre
may be realized from alfalfa than
from any other crop at the present
prices of farm products in
general. Surveys have indicated
that within the past five years
there have been an average Of
1109 acres of alfalfa seeded in
Kent county, but it is reasonable
to assume, however, that not all
of this acreage each year produced
a satisfactory stand, as several
factors enter into the securing of
a profitable field of alfalfa Aside
from a survey of the alfalfa acre
age in Kent county last year, coun-
ty agent Wilson also conducted a
similar survey with reference to
crimson clover in view of the fact
that 50 many acres have been OBJ
served throughout the county
within the past few years. As no
survey records in regard to this
hay crop have ben taken in pre-
vious years, it is impossible to
make any comparisons of acreages
in the same manner as has been
done with alfalfa. 1t was learned,
however, that in 1881 there were
5517 acres of crimson clover soWn
Ia this county, and it will be of
to note how this figure
will compare with the survey re-
ports which will be secured next
year, for in all probability this
acreage will be increased since this
equine is used not only as a hay
crop, but as cover crop in grape
Along with the hay
crop Improvement program for
his county, special attention has
ilso been given to the pasture stu
alton, and surveys during the past
our years have shown that there
nave ben 986 acres of sweet Glow
n seeded annually, resulting in the
Of more pasture as a
profitable supplementary feed for
larry cattle.

which he had been born. Now shaurhnessey had doubly sinned in his choice of enthusiasrns And in assuming that others shared them. Linda winced as Cousin Amos ex- pressed the contempt of the Brah- min for the outlaw. If ever she went Bolshevik, she had often thought, his would be the responsi- bility. He could not be said to be tntolerant of thought more liberal than his own. He simply wiped all shades of 1t out of existence. His offense was not lessened by the fact that he once called the other 'sMr Shanahan" and twice "Mr O'Shea," nor that he brought his discourse to a close by stating firmly:
 s'In fact, my dear sir, your com ment shows clearly an undisciplin- ed and confused mind-exactly the mentality, I may say, which has demanded that the immesaurably superior Anglo-Saxon race exert a salutary supervision over the child ishly incompetent peoples - for their own good. needless to say, for their"
 s'For their own good. is, it?" roared the Irish giant, unable ap- parently to endure Cousin Amos trick of climactic repetition. And what do you say to massacring rivers of blood and innocent chil- dren murdered in their beds and starving-"

 But his voice was a feeble wall had paused for no reply to his rhetorical question. Recovered from his first shock, Lian Shaughnessey plunged with gusto into the bat tie. Logic he had none nor, Linda observed, any more tolerance than Cousin Amos. But the sweep of his rich vocabulary and his poetic fer vor--to say nothing of a voice which under the stress of excite ment rivaled the Bull of Bashan's f-swept the discussion from his t6wn restless island straight across Europe to the no less restless East, By sheer Spate of words he might have won, had he not been so un- wise as to quote disparagingly a supposed ofiicial order to English troops In India. f
 Instantly he met flat contradic- ton from Statlander, speaking with the curt brevity of a>military officer to an inferior or of a school master-and a bad-tempered one to the class dunce. The direct chal- lenge of personal knowledge (the man did seem to know India and recent happenings there!) might have checked Shaughnessey had not his teiAper been lashed so high.
 Undaunted, he took on this new opponent, roaring down with fiery invective the rain of concrete facts with which the middle westerner assailed him. At last Marvin Pratt, whose gathering frown had been turned first toward one contestant, then to the other, broke in with the skill of a trained speaker and, af- ter moment of out-roaring each managed to win momentary silence and skirted the political issue neat 'ly, focusing attention on an anec- dote of the Khyber Pass and his own experiences in the Himalayas. Tom deferentially asked Statlander for the exact height of newly dis covered peak and the bait worked. Peace was established and Linda felt rather weak.

 Then she remembered that one voice remained unheard. She turned, half-laughing, to the man on her right. He was looking not at her.. but at the still smoldering combatants, and utter contempt, unmasked, etched his finely cut features into repellant ,harshness. Feeling her glance, he turned, but without attempting to wipe from his face that contemptuous look. He must assume her agreement in all that 1t said of her guests. His nod included with equal scorn the oratorical Cousin Amos, slightly miffed and now limiting his au- dience to his dinner partner, and the Celt whose once ingratiatingly boyish face had gone white and bitter with the temper of his argu- ment.

Naturally g man of enormous phy- sical vitality, his vigorous heart mess suggested stronger forces rig 0rously chained in.

Even Tom was forgetting his responsibilities in charmed de- light over the great overgrown boy of a man. Linda wondered what he'd been talking about to bring to all those faces that look of amuse- ment, enchantment, surprise.
 
 Now the tossed ball of converse tion had been flung the length of the table and all were keeping 1t in the air. Africa = curious that that one word should prove the one to set them afire!

 'Now the fat is in the firey'' breathed Linda. A look of despair flashed between her and her hus- band as Cousin Amos, onainously clearing his throat, plunged with scandalized conservatism into the very heart of a glowing period.
