Timely Article Upon Plantin
Crimson Clover as Winter
Cover Crop. Lay Your
Plans.
Just aa peas improve soil in sum
mer so will crimson clover and otb
er legumes increase the fertility of
the soil in winter, besides making
hay of superior quality. The fol
lowing tim?# article upon planting
crimson clover as a winter cover
<crop is from the last issue of the
Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh:
It is generally known that mo6t
?egnnaes do better on soils contain
?ngoOnsiiierablb lime, and some of
them positively refuse to make satis
factory growth / except on what are
popularly called lime soils, It has
#ven been suggested that the fre
cq??nt failures with crimson clover
;are largely due to a lack of lime in
i&e.so?L This seems to us very
?e&ptr oba&Je, for we have seen splen
t \ did crops^f it on the Coastal Plain
sandy landa &f .North Carolina,!
where there is ?ejfta?oly little lime,
and also on soils in Mississippi and
^?abama which are deficient in par
lbo#??e of lime* It may bc JBOjrej
?easy ^ ^obtain the necessary inoeu
j?tiop on feue soils, but we believe
<e?m8on .cloner may be successfully

One of the chief obstacles to (be
extensive growth of crimson clover
$s ?he uncertainty of getting a stand
fif yjgorous plants. This difficulty,
?ran,t,LD?r ?hp soil is inoculated, is
proiai^^osjtd,^ to the dry weath
er during the fali, SQ characteristic
of the Cotton Belt, Eariy, #ay in
?Lu!y and August, there is su$ic?ent
flipisture to bring up the plants, but
jijf j^L dry weather follows they

On the other hand, if the sowing be
pjjt^ 0*1 until &te m the faU-tberp
may be sufficient moisture to
bring up th? plants and enable them
to mafca ifoe necessary growth to

land.
Ip sowing crimson clover for the
first time it is advisable to obtain
from 300 to 500 pounds of soil from
a field that has recently grown red
clover, white clover or crimson clo
ver successfully, and we would pre
fer it from the orimnon clover field.
Scatter this sojl, while moist, even
ly over ari acre and harrow it in at
once. The objection to this meth- (
od of inoculating the soil is the dan
ger of introducing weeds and other
P(i?ia, If the soil <;an not he ob
tained, reduce the .area to one-half
acre and obtain cultures for inocu
lating the soil from the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C., or from some
of the commercial houses advertis
ing the material. After you have
grown even one-half acre success
fully, you have right-on your own
farm all the soil you need for
inoculating the remainder of the
fai m.
Crimson clover as a winter covet
for cottori lands and as a gatherer
of nitrogen fpr enriching the soil,
at-a time of tlje year when our sta
ple crops (\o pot occupy the land, is
too yaluable a crop to be neglected.
Make the conditions right on a
small area, inoculate the whole
farm and then grow it wherever
practicable. If seed are too high
Rriced, grow them yourself.

GOOD ROADS MEETING.
Conducted by Columbia Rec
ord's Good Roads Party. In
structive Address by
Government Expert.
It is very generally regretted by
those who attended the good roads
meeting Friday tfoat a greater num
ber wore not present to hear the
most excellent address by Mr. D.
H. Winslow, who, with Mr.
C. W. Moorman, is making a tour
of the state in the interest of good
rpads, being sent out in automobiles
by th.e Columbia Record. This pro
gressive newspaper^ whose editor
and manager is $r. James Ar U?Jfii
wiU send its', representatives jntq
ovary oounty, advocating improve
ment of the public highways. This
is a very praiseworthy undertaking,
and one that will result in lasting
good. The Record's experts are sow
ing good roads seed along their
route that will in time aid very ma
terially in "leavening the whole
Supervisor li. j. Moultrie was;
caliea to the chair, and he requested
Mr. O, W, Moorman to state the
purpose of the meeting, after which
he introduced Mr.D. H. Winslow, a
highway engineer, who is in the
employment of the national govern
ment. He is not a theorist but an en
gineer flf !$rge a^d varied practical
experienoe.
Mr. Winslow first spoke of the
assistance that the government is
now giving in, the matter of road im
provement throughout ?the entire'
country, bulletins upon pyery phase
and form of road balding ari} p?fn?
published and di^tribiit?d free, A
testing department is maintained in
which stone and other road build
ing material is tested free, of cost.
The government will furnish men
to build a section of road in any
county as an object lesson. u^iflg
the eoijnty road-working' ?o?c?.
Actual post of ' the, building of the
piepe of road will be accurately kept,
so a? to enable tbs tivUena of a
county to estimate oosti of road im
provement under looal oondliloun,
rhe speaker stated that tho north
ern and''some -southern- states - have'
for sixteeen years been invoking
governniept aid along tho Ipi
suggeijted Uut that South t>ar.o?in^
bftS b??n aslpcp anfl has, not asked
% li
lli the matter ol' direct appropria
tion of money for road building,
South Carolina would be but little
benefited. Mr. Winslow showed by
actual figures that were national
aid distributed on a basis of popiu
lation o'rN total tnijeage this 'state
would receive from only one to two
per cent of a hundred million dollar
appropriation. He said that a dis
tribution of aid on basis of popula
tion WQiiJt! wanif?atiy unjust W
cause the sparsely settled rural dis
triyts stand in greatest need ol' road
improvement. Southern Congress
men have been active in their efforts
to secure direct appropriation but
so far they have been, unsuccessful.
During the last session of congress
1? good roads bills were introduced
but all were kille^.
Mr.' Winsjo^' ??id the gr-eatest
problem in road bujlding in Edge
tield poupty is matter of grade,
which makes roads expensive to
maintain after being constructed.
He said that tho velocity of the
water that runs over a road, and not
the volume, is what injures the road
most. Steep grade increases th* oq?,t
of tranBpoj3tatiu.n i)eoauat>, lt limits
the hauling capacity, "'liesi'des, the
increased cost qi drawing a loao" up
grade, the wear and tear upon vag
?n, harness and team is greater gp?
ing down bj!},than when traveling
on level road.
In the construction pf bridges,
Mr. Winslow advised short spans
and broader abutments. Tue latter,
can be constructed oj sto^e, Wjiiiv-:
ing no ivpairs, while the farmer :
must be repainted and repaired from
time to. time.
He favors a state high wa" com
mission, whose duty would be the
sending of consulting engineers out
in the counties to confer with the
supervisors and lay out nev roads,
etc. Mr. Winslow emphasised the
importance of employing a Ugh way
engineer to plan bridges an! survey
roads. An ordinary surveyor is hot
equipped for this special \\qrk. He
cited several instances ii which
large sums had been save-l in road
construction through, ?\e eruploy
ment of experienced road builders.
He advised the buildii.g of con
crete bridges instead of wood or
iron. Railroads throughout the coun
ty have learned the val ie of con
cr?te and are using it almost ex
clusively. Abbeville co?nty is ^up
planting old structure? with con
crete bridges. He also advises the
use pf olay or metal i>ipcs instead
of small wooden brid jes. When
