Tests Of various new types Of le-
gume plants are being made at ex-
perimental farms in many places in
Ohio. OF the annual lespedezas,
the common or japanese variety is
a natural selection in extreme south
ern Ohio, and is gradually moving
northward. 1t promises to enrich
pastures Of the poorer type, even
though 1t will not compete with Ken
tucky bluegrass on the better lands.
Korean lespedeza, also an annual,
promises well as a cover crop for
orchards and as a temporary or
summer pasture crop. 1t grows on
soils unfavorable to clover and al
falfa.
A perennial lespedeza, native of
Asia bearing the name lespedeza
serica, is being grown In an expert
mental way in southern Ohio on
soils too poor for alfalfa or clover.
SO far, this legume has survived
two winters.
Woods clover, an annal legume
brought to Ohio from Iowa, Is not as
palatable as a hay or pasture crop
and can be used in Ohio only as a
green manure crop. Trials so far
Indicate that ii cannot compete with
soybeans for this purpose.
Zlg-zag clover, a perennial from
Maine that propagates by under
ground rOotstalks, is on trial in
northern Ohio, but no definite con-
clusions have been drawn as to it's
use.
About % species Of crOtalarias
are being tested. One species, Gro
talaria spectablilis, Is giving best re-
suits in Ohio as a green manure
crop. 1t is widely grown on the I'M
fertile sandy coastal plains soils in
the East.
A large European variety of white
clover called Ladlno is proving of
value in a limited way for provid-
ing poultry pasture. 1t requires,
for successful growth, much moist
ure.
Kudzu, for which many exagger-
ated claims have been made, proved
worthless as field crop In Ohio.

Humus Necessary and
Brings Better Crops

Humus Is decaying vegetable mat
ter, such as stable manure or any
thing that will rot when turned un-
der the ground, writes a corre-
spondent In the Rural New Yorker.
Almost all rich soils contain a good
supply of humus, while most poor
soils are lacking in 1t. Humus
keeps the soil loose, preventing a
hard crust from forming after rain,
keeps the soil warm, so that crops
viii grow earlier in the spring, and
takes care of the water supply. In
wet weather, the humus absorbs the
water like a sponge and holds ii
until dry weather when the plants
can use il. Humus helps to make
plant food available.

Sharks Attack British
Squadron in Scapa Flow

londonderry vessels of the
British home fleet in full panoply of
war did not frighten the sharks of
Scapa Flow, Orkney islands. Per-
haps they had often attacked the
German warships sunk In those wa
ters without suffering any cas-
ualties. AT any rate. they attacked
the invading ships. One of the
sharks picked small vessel as its
prey and was killed only after a stiff
battle. Another shark, measuring
about q feet, was struck and in
iured by the drifter Muriel.
The vessel lurched from the force
of the impact. and the shark imme-
diately wheeled about and launched
itself against the huh. The bangs
sounded like gunshots and we're
plainly heard on Scapa pier.
