JOHNSTONE TELLS OF BURR CLOVER I Charmain ol Clemson Trustees j Writes on Crop. MAKES GOOD COVER Senator From Nev*v>crry Believes That This Legume Has No Equal for Winter Pastur?. Now that the attention of the farm ers ot the State are turning to plant ing of cover crops more than ever, Commissioner Watson recommends as the plainest and Strongest statement on burr clover the following statement prepared by Senator Alan Johnstone, chairman of the board of trustees of Clemson college, telling of his expert once with thiB crop: "As a cover crop during Ute winter ? months or aa a winter pasture burr clover bas no equal. "Like Ute cow pea, lt enriches the soil, gathering nitrogen from thc slr and storing it in the earth. "It will grow in almost say soil ex cept wet and marshy land-although lt is best suited to clay land. "It ls easy to sow, only needing to j be. thrown on top ot the earth, and tho ruinB of the fall will beat lt in suf ficiently to hiing lt up. Between the 15th ot August und the 16th of Sep tember is the best time to sow, al though good results have been ob-1 fained from seed sown aa lste as the I list of December. "When once sown lt will ever there after perpetuate Itself, although lt j i may be easily destroyed by being plowed under while green. Make Regular Crap. ? ! . ''It dues not hinder Ute cultivation of a regaler crop during Ute summer months, as Ute seed will not sprout sufficiently during bot weather ta cause any Inconvenience. Bach suc ceeding crop comes from Ute seed of i Ute former crop and not from the j roots which would hinder plowing. ? "As stated above, the seed can ' be I thrown .on top ot Ute bard earth and I need no plowing in or raking under, I I for the plow invariably covers lt toe deeply. i ? "It convenient the land may be broken. Ute seed then sown on top and covered with ? light brush or harrow. They ought not to be moro than an Inch deep. "There need be no fear, however, ! In cultivating Ute land after one crop of seed has been made thereon that I the seed will be burled, for the con- ; tlnuous plowing so thorougnly mixes1 Ute soil as to leave enough seed near Ute surface to produce a stand In the fall. "If burled the seed will lie In the earth, sound, and will sprout when turned up ne-r the surface. "Two bushels to Ute acre will bring a-perfect stand, although as little as ? half bushel, it equally distributed, will start lt sufficiently, lt not pas tared while seeding, ta bring a Stand Ute second year. I "It may be scattered broadcast in cotton and cora rows after the crop! ls laid by and left to come np lu the ts!L ; '.'Burr clover makes an excellent j winter pasture or lawn. It may be sown on top of Bermuda sod (or Ute sod of any sort of grass) jost as on top of the clear earth, and will spring up in the late fall, last through the winter, seed in June, being then re-1 placed by thc native grasses. "Cows fatten on lt; poultry revel In j lt; hogs like lt; lt makes a great pas ture for sheep and goals. "Cows can not bite it dose enough to prevent its. reseeding, as it 'vii] glow seed In SH Ute little undulations ] where the cow's tongue can not reach; Hogs pastured on It should have rings In their snouts to prevent their root ing, Hungry sheep or goats might bosslbly bite lt too closely that It caa hot paton seed. They should be taken off about April 16. , . * "Some growers f?nd it necessary to inoculate Use sou to obtain a sUna. Others have never had any trouble in this respect. Full information as to Ute process of Inoculation can be had from the United States department of sericulture.'* Mark Twain once said, "When iii doubt tell the truth."
