Of MUCH INTEREST TO THE FARMER DEMONSTRATIONS IN FOR. AGE COVER CROPk Clemson College, March 18.-Sout Carolina farmers turned under 16,05 acres of bur clover, crimson clovei and alfalfi as cover, crops for soi improvement during 1919, accordini to annual reports of the county agent and 17,716 acres of these three cove crops were sown during the fall o 1919 to be turned under during th next suoson. These demonstrations i1 soil improvement are having a ver; marked effect in inducing the mass o South Carolina farmers to build ui their soils with cover crops. The fifluers for bur clover show 7 denonstrators growing a total acre age of 402 acres of bur clover unde improved demonstration methods. 0 these 402 acres, 208 were grazed ofi cheir grazing value being estimated a 427 per acre. There were 676 crimson clover de monstrators who grew a total of 5, 440 acres under improved methods The yields where crimson clover wa cut for hay showed an average of 1i tons per acre under delmoitstratiol methods as opposed to one ton esti mated average yield for the .State un der ordinary methods. The results o: grazing crimson clover showed an es. timated value of $25 per acre foi grazing purposes. The total numbei of acres of crimson clover turned un oer for soil improvement was 12,508 and the total number of acres sown in, the fall of 1919 for future turning wad 10,367. The number of demonstrators with alfalfa was 339, who grew a total of 1,321 acres under demonstration me thods. The average yield in tons of cured hay per acre was 3% tons per acre, the estimated average yield for the State under ordinary methods. The value of alfalfa when grazed 0 ffwas estimated at $37 per acre. Nine hundred and fifty-two acres were sown under county agent supervision in the fall of 1919. LOOK OUR FOR "COFFEE" BEANS The Department of Agriculture warns buyers against two so-called coffee beans-the "South American coffee bean," the other as "new cof fee bean," which are entirely exploit ed by extravagant statements in ad vertisement. The former is the jack bean ,the latter the soy bean. Both are well known plants, and their is no justification, says the department, either for extravagant tsatements in advertisements. The former is the jack bean, the latter the soy bean. Both are well known plants, and there is no justification, says the depart incat. ,cither for extravagant adver -n mai twwv nlamies ntorI -or ex rbitant. rres for the seed. The use of the seeds of various legumes andl'cereals as coffee substi tutes is not new. Legumes which have been used or exploited as foffee beans include the soy bean, cowpea, (hick piea, horse bean, andI jack bean. Other legumes usedl to some extent as coffe'e sustiitutes, all of whlickh are native species and commonly knowvn ats coffIee plants, are coffee berry or collee weed, coffee bean plant or berry anf dIthe Kent uck c'offee tree. The seeds of a of a few of these legumes. (especially thle soy bean possess5 somei merit ias coffee substitutes, but the desirability of anyv is a matter of in dividual taste. This use has led to the e'xtensive adlver'tisling of such seeda3 at ''airous times under mislead inb names by enter'prising i nd ivduals and even to their large use as adlul tei'ants of the true coffee. For those who dlesire a substitute for' coffee- as a dinlk ,the driy beans of any variety of soy bean, when pro pierly i'oastedl andx pirepared, may lbe used. Prepared as coff'ee, the soy bean gives a liquid which in color and aromna is sim ilar' to coffee, hut it has no stimulating effect. Many people fond of cereal driinlks think the soy bean coffee fully equal to the cereal cofflte sub'st itu tes. The use of the jack beanz for "niear' coffee is not a new thing, and its mier it for this purpose is no greater than that of' mani yother' beans. For for age, the jack bean is not equal to th< soy bean, velvet bean or cowpea, am thus far it has not shown that it i; o)f any particula r value in A mericar ag riculIture(. fLOC[I'T BhOOJ TWICE FROZEN People who last year sow the peri oienta cicada----1I7-year' locust-il countless numbers and latei' saw th trees all broken as the r'esult, ma have difficulty i r'ealizing that this ir sect is a vanishing species.
