CRIMSON CLOVER
A USEFUL CROP
The Poorer the Land the Greater
the Heneiit.
TWO GREAT ADVANTAGES
New bulletin of Department of Agriculture
Describes Its Value as
I'asturuge ami Soil Improver.
Washington, April 11.?A numboi
of ways in which the early appearauce
of crimson clover in the spring
can be turned to the farmer's advantage
are pointed out in a new pub
lication of the United States' Department
of Agriculture, Farmer's bulletin
579, "Crimson Clover Utilization".
In the Southern anuVfCen*.
ral Atlantic States this crop is \of
particular value. Generally speaking
it suffers from tho severe winters in
the north and from too great dryness
west of the Mississippi. In Florida
al30 it has proved less successful
than elsewhere.
Crimson clover, says the bulletin,
has two great advantages. It is an
excellent fertilizer and it can be
used for pasture and hay before any
other green growth is available, the
1 .nd being then sown with an ordinary
summer-grown crop. The clover
it>elf can be sown toward the end of
tho summer on land where such late
? . ops as corn or tomatoes are still
under cultivation. Its use, therefore,
does not interfere with other pro<*
icts and its benefits cost little but
the labor and seed involved.
To obtain the full value of crinifon
clover as a fertilizer, the entire
vreen crop should be plowed under,
thus adding to the soil a large quan
tity of nitrogen and humus, or decayed
vegetable matter. The poorer the
land the greater is the benefits that
the succeeding crop derives from
this process. A yield of 30 bushels
of corn per acre may ordinarily be in
creased by crimson clover to 45, but
on richer land an increase of more
than.JO bushels is uncommon. A
convenient, method of calculation is
to consider a full crop of crimson
clover, weighing with roots and tops
about 10 tons an acre, as the equivalent
of a distribution of 8 tons of
fresh barnyard manure to an acre.
In this way the soil ts greatly enriched
each year without intei bring
in any with *lie regular money
crops, such as corn, cotton, or tomatoes.
It is, however, by no means necessary
to sacrifice the entire crop of
t rimson clover to fertilizering purposes.
Excellent results can be obt.
ined by ploughing under the roots
and stubbe . This it is estimated returns
to the soil 4 0 per cent as inutJi
nitrogen as the green crop. \Vhen
this is done the clover itself can pe
used either for pasture, before ordinary
grass is sufficient^ far advanced
to be available, or fer hay which
can be gathered in time'to leave the
land free for another crQp.
Crimson clover intended for hav
must, however, be cut Jkt the right
moment, when the most advanced
heads are beginning to show faded
flowers at their base. At this stage
the plants contain the maximum
; mount of protein and dry matter,
while the leaves are still unseat and
tie stems comparatively green. If
t e harvest is put off, the hairs on the
stems and flower heads become drv
and stiff. In this stare thero is danger
that they may form tmrd any hair
hails in the intestina" tracts of horses
and mules to which the hay is
fed. These hair halls, solid, compact,
felt-like structures, nearly always
cause dea'h. lvirly cutting,
however, and judicious mixing with
other hay will obviate this difficulty
to a great extent, and, under anv circumstances
cattle are rarely affected
By dairymen, crimson clover hay is
considered a roughage feed fully
equal if not superior to either red or
aliske clover.
For early pasturing crtmson clover
is even mo'e satisfactory, it? eb'ef
drawback being the limited period in
which it can be utilized for this purpose.
This period, however, is ample
to enable the ordinary grass pastures
tr rttain a growth whi*h wl'l
great'j far-ease their carrylnr capacity
later in the season After *hc
cattle are removed. ll.t uneaten
plants and the manure left behind
are ploughed under, the manue
forming a valuable addition to the
fertilizing effect of the oiovgr.
yoovurtf, nay or fertilizer, therefore,
crimson clover offers Itself tc
farmers at a time when the orolnarj

I/ju'g-nst linn Tells of Affairs in

: To tfie Editor of The News:
The afternoon has been blustery
. and in the spheres of influence of the
. two sky-scrapers there was some
amusement and activity, in chasing
hats on the part of the men.
The women seemed to go along almost
undisturbed. I?r. Steele says
these dear creatures are debarred
- from voting by the Scriptures, and
he proves it. The women are so
mi^ch superior to the men that 1
should like to see them vote some;
but Scripture forbids, and Christians
must obey. I am sure they would
vote with more dencev than many
of their husbands.
The commander or tno soldiers"
home still turns out folks occasionally.
I have borrowed all I could, and
spent it In trying to convert heathen
prliticians; but they were joined to
their idols. 1 have not yet succeeded
n paying back quite all that 1 borrowed,
though trying to do so.
Now I shall quit trying to take all
unfortunates with me, and try another
tack.
For a week the twon has been excited
on baseball. Savannah and
Charleston have both been in the
ring. The games have been so close
that I have failed to learn exactly
toe sanding.
Our friend, Capt. A. R. onzales,
is on a visit to New York for treatment.
1 sincerely pray that he may
get well soon.
i hp weamer nas ueen goou ior
farming and much work lias boon
done. Beautiful weather has prevailed
for several days.
Our patriotic governor has ofered
his services to lead the South
Carolina brigade of National Guard.
Nothing would he more fit; and our
wise President certainlj Knows a
good thing when he sees it; so in all
probability the President will gladly
accept his proposition?if needed.
He will hardly have war with Huerta.
He will probably dally all ho can
and then "salute;" of, he may see
his defeat coming and'prefer to have i
It at the hands of fo^eiRners rather
than a ttho hands of Carranza.
Your scribe had a stroke of para
'Hysis on Thursday, the 9th Instant.
There is still some twist to his |
tongue, and he can't readily pick at
words and names. This must be
some excuse for ending this letter.
I will try to do better.
I wrote you a letter early in
March, but if it was printed, It must
have been a copy of The News that
made its way to the soldiers' home
Good-bye. Very truly yours.
