youB BE8T FEED FOR STOCK, Best Fall-Sown Crop That Car Be Grown for Feeding of I lua_elA/>lr kIT 0"0i?wv ni Clemson College, S. C.,?Manji South Carolina farmers had a disastrous experience with oats last winter when a large part of the croj was destroyed by the Februarj freeze, but it is not very probable that the same thing will occur this year. Oats is generally recognized as being the best grain crop for fali sowing in South Carolina, as it usually yields better than other grains matures early, and both grain and straw may be-fed to livestock. Seed oats will be high priced this fall, due to the short crop lasl spring, thus it is desirable to use special precautions to get a good stand with as little seed as possible. Less is needed when sown early on well-prepared land. In preparing the soil it is usually best not to plow the land unless it is hard or weedy. A fine, mellow seedbed two or three inches deep may be made with a disk, spring-tooth, or spike-tooth harrow. On land from which a crop of cowpeas or soybean hay has been removed, a good seedbed may be made with the disk harrow. Varieties for South Carolina. For South Carolina conditions the best oat to grow is the Red Rustproof type, including such varieties as the Appier, Bancroft, Cook, Hundred-Bushel and Patterson. The Fulghun may also be grown > to advantage. This variety ripens about ten days earlier. Seeding Oats. October is the ideal month to sow oats in South Carolina. The grain drill is the best method of seeding and if sown early in October on well-prepared land two bushels is sufficient to seed an acre. Sowing broadcast and "plowing or disking is a very uncertain method and requires from a half to a bushel more seed. If a grain drill is not available, seeding may be done with an ordinary cotton or corn planter or '? i mi n x_ 2 a one-norse arm. rrom one w iwu inches is deep enough to cover the seed. PLANT FRUIT TREES THIS FALL All perfectly hardy. trees should be -transplanted in the fall rather than the following spring if we can rely upon the results of tests made at the-Missouri Agricultural Experiment station. Jonathan apple trees planted in the fall made nearly twice as good a growth as those planted the next spring. Of cherry trees transplanted in the fall every one lived while only a third of those planted in the spring survived the dry sum, mer of that year. Those which did live made only a quarter as good a growth as those planted the fall before. This comparison is based mainly on the. terminal growth or ^ngtli added to the branches, which is a very important means of telling how an orchard is thriving. Even peach trees and others less hardy than apple and cherry trees do better when fall planted in the southern quarter of Missouri. Fall planting is better * ?1 i* * 1 3 1 even tanner nortn n ionowea oy a mild winter, but a severe winter is likely to kill the trees. In ordering fruit trees for fall planting, insist that they be dug and shipped just when the leaves begin to fall and the remaining leaves can be easily Stripped from the nursery stock. These young, rapidly growing trees hold their leaves from two weeks to a month longer than those in the orchard which have been bearing for some time. During most seasons the best time for transplanting is during the first half of November, but planting any time before the ground freezes has been found to give better results than spring planting.?Progressive Farmer. PASTURE PROBLEMS. Getting a Better Stand on Old Pastures. The question often arises, whethei a pasture, having an imperfect stanc of the desired plants, should b? plowed up and a new start made or whether additional seed should b( sowed with a view to thickening the stand. We are often asked this ques tion, but to give a definite answei that .will fit all cases is impossible Moreover, it is seldom that we ar< given sufficient of the facts involvet to permit of an intelligent answei in the particular case at point. It is a well known fact that sucl plants as Bermuda or Johnson grass having undeground stems or roo stocks, are benefited by being plowe< up or cultivated to a limited extent But when these plants are mixe< with alsike, or white clover, redtop orchard grass, etc.,these are not bene Farmei , fited by breaking even to a lim extent. I If the pasture is set largely in ! muda and it is not doing as wel it should, or if more of plants white or bur clover are desired, r think it better to break and disk land where it is practicable to d< The Bermuda is benefited and a n ( suitable condition is brought al Ifnr cpftino* a stand of the o r ? ? - , plants. We do not advise the w j ing of bur clover and other se I by sowing on a Bermuda sod, w L we are convinced is the usual re _ of such a practice. But where ] muda or Johnson gross is not [ chief plant in the pasture, or wl the usual other perennial plants . used, like bluegrass, alsike and w i clover, and any of the other comi | perennial pasture plants, it is | usually advisable to disturb plants already on the land by br< | ing. It is generally much bette] ( try to increase the pasture plants r sowing the seed of some of tl known to do well on such a soil, i | pedeza, white and bur clovers admirably adapted to this purp [ Lespedeza and bur clover, pari; ( larly, being annual plants, res themselves naturally in this way f | year to year. For all except Ber da and Johnson grass, time is an portant element in building up good stand of our common pasi plants and it is usually much be practice to keep down the weeds, tilize and lime to improve the st and growth of those already pres than to make a new start that destroy the growth of those plj which have shown their adaption the conditions by maintaining th selves on the land for a number years. If, however, the land is to be 1 ken for the purpose of adding s materials as will bettter fit it growing the plants which are desi but which have not been able grow, it may be better to plow, by so doing more suitable condit for their growth are brought ab But as a rule this is not the 1 plan on which to make a pasture is generally much better to use s plants as have proved their ada; bility by having done well ur similar conditions.?The Progres Farmer.

SOUTH CAROLINA MAN LIKES ALFAL Farmer Says Three Acres to C Saved Him Lots of Corn And is Blessing. Clemson College, S. C., Sep1 "My three acres of alfalfa saved at least $250 worth of corn year," said a Lancaster Corn South Carolina, farmer recently, think it is the best crop that come into this section in a lc ready that I cannot do withoul It grows well for me and I had jtrquble in getting a stand. 1 j soil I have it growing on is of loam type with a clay-gravel ? | soil." The reason this farmer is so thusiastic is because his alfi saves so much corn for him, and very good reason it is. Alfalfa a higher feeding value than timo Sudan grass, and other grasses, fact, the composition of alfalfa about the same as that of wl , long time, and although I I raised it only two years I feel bran, meaning that when alfalf fed less grain will be required 1 I when hay from the grasses is u > This is especially important ; year when grain is so high. It ; been found that when alfalfa is ? in place of bran the milk now - only decreased less than ten r cent, showing that alfalfa is ne . as good as bran. In buying hay ; can afford to pay more for good 1 falfa hay than for hay from p common grasses. If it can be boi for the same price it will be a l gain. Alfalfa usually produces r , to the acre than any other hay c t This combined with its higher fee ? vnlne make it one of the best of , crops. Then again, when a j i stand of alfalfa is secured it , last for a number of years, ui - some condition out of the ordii -1- JL KJKJ JJ-H lifer this State should occur. Ifc The farmer who has a field of al falfa this year is, indeed, fortunate. I " Many who are not fortunate enough I to have an alfalfa field should be de- J ^ termined to start one as soon as they J possibly can. ? ited DON'T SCOLD, MOTHER!, E THE CROSS CHILD IS 1 Ber- BILIOUS, FEVERISH ? 1 as | 1:1?
