By the useofburr clover t0 and Bermuda grass a perpetual winter and summer growing pas- '? ture can be obtained. We quote is an extract from an article writ cii g ten by J. C. M., upou burr clover la p i i South Georgia : ec ^ "In the southern section of the . State burr clover promises to be cc a great crop. In Wayne County dt f it is grown in big fields, and jD many farmers are afraid it will j ;1 take the county. One farmer of my acquaintance down there drove me out to his farm last November while I was stopping 1,1 1 in the a little town of Jesup, and ,0 he showed me a field of forty ^ five acres that he had cleared of stumps and sowed to burr clover, cl It was then two feet deeD all T * over the place, and hogs and fu > cattle were doing ail they could 8C to destroy it. The farmers for * many farms around gathered and a? - wanted to know what to do to d keep on farming. In every little ^ 9 corner that was not closely culti 1 vated the burr clover phowed itself d in tine shape. I told them to plant ( y d more of it and buy cattle. That m p was a good way to settle the la 1 bor question, 1 told them. 1 in* | quired of the owner of the farm? d which, by the way, consisting o! e I 825 acres?how much ha valued r> the place at. To this he replied 1 j he had been offering it at $.'1,000.

He could use the idle land te ? for pasturage and put them on (u i the clover when he desired to do a i e so. "r "1 learned since that he has . . ,, in done this, and row puts the value , 9 of the land ai double what he I J v ji did. If the farmers of that tarri- r 3 tory will go into the work of ,n | raising cattle and hogs on thej?^ right plan they will soon value I heir land at $100 an acre. The!
