BOY SCOUT CAMP UNDER WAY.
The hip scout cnmp In the Interstate
park In New York and New Jersey
Is opened again for the season. It
Is expected that approximately 2,000
scouts will he the dally count In this
enormous camp.
There will be a nine weeks' camping
season which will probably accommodate
more than 0.000 boys. One
of the most Interesting features of the
cnmp will be the museum In charge of <
"Uncle Benny," Hyde who will again
mnnage the Museum, nature study work
of the entire camp. A friend of the
movement has contributed a thousand 1
dollars to further the nature lnstruc- '
tlon In order to "coax, hire or trans- 1
port bodily" the best available sclen- 1
I tlflc experts. The boys privileged to 1
participate In this huge and happy '
camp, whose law Is scout law and '
whose program Is the scout program. '
will hove a never-to-be-forgotten ex- 1

, recently been made the happy recipient
of a five-acre trnct of land. The
( boys are building log cabins, one for
. each patrol and an extra large cabin
big enough to hoJd a hundred scouts.
There Is a fine spring on the land and
the troop Is planning to utilize Its wa,
ter supply by building n large bathing

Methods of Seeding. e3
Prepared by the United States Depart- ,
ment of Agriculture.)
A large part of the value of crimson
lover lies In the ability which It shnres sl
rlth other clovers to utilize the nltro- S'
;en of the air and add it to the soil,
ay specialists of the United States c<
>epartnient of Agriculture. When en- Sl
ouraged to do this, crimson clover is h<
. valuable 6oil improver. If It is plant- lK
(1 on rich land It will utilize the nltro;en
already present in the soil and Is a'
lot stimulated to contribute anything ni
o Its own support or to the support of
tlier crops.
Crimson clover Is a winter plant of
lie true clover group. It Is also known
is scarlet clover, French clover, Italian
lover and German clover. It Is the
?niy annual true clover that Is of more
ban incidental agricultural Importance
n the eastern United States. It owes ^
is place in the crop rotation of the
Ltlantic coastal plain to the fact that |
t cun be plnnted when the land is nor i |
occupied by ordinary summer crops. 1 ft
The many ways by which this crop ! J
nay be utilized are discussed by plant j ('
peclalists of the United States De- jj
mrtment of Agriculture in Farmers' I
iulletln 1142, "Growing Crimson Clo- 1
er."
An Early Importation.
Though it was brought from Europe
o this country in 1818, its value as a
orage plant was not recognized until
ibout 1880. The plant does not withstand
either extreme hent or cold, ond H
s best adapted to a soli that Is not
ery rich and to a climate where the
vlnters are not severe. Ordinarily it
annot survive the winter in latitudes tl
lorth of southern Pennsylvania, while tl
n some of the southern states it is fre- it
luently killed by dry, hot weather in pi
he fall or spring. m
Its growth is comparable to that of pi
vinter wheat. Plunted In the fall, it ai
les more or less dormant throughout s<
he winter and completes its growth hi
n the spring. If the summers are not tc
oo hot it can sometimes be planted in s<
he spring and grown as a summer ai
rop, but for this purpose other clovers f(
ire usually preferred. Corn in the , m

vinter is n cheap and convenient meth- d
)d of growing a cash crop and a soil- p
mproving crop in the same year. The n
eputatlon of crimson clover ns a crop t(
ncreaser is largely bnsed on this a
draple rotation. Instances are by no fj
neans rare where the yield of corn has Ci
ieen gradually increased from ten C(
jushels to as high ns seventy bushels e:

Seeding Crop of Clover. ri
Crimson clover may be seeded in a
iradically any of the cultivated truck
?rops, which receive their last cultlvu- tl
:ion from eight to twelve weeks before "
:he first frost. It Is not wise to seed P
dover In lnte potatoes, sweet potatoes ?
)r other root crops, as the digging In ^
he fall practically destroys the clover. n
Neither does It do well when sown Into p'
'owpeas. sorghum or watermelons, ow- ^
ng to the heavy shade cast by those
,'rops. The most common cause of Q
'allure to obtain a stnnd of crimson
?lover Is a period of hot, dry weather
>ccurrlng after planting.
The roots of crimson clover are Insulated
by the same strain of bacteria
which occurs on the roots of all true
plovers; consequently a field which

Sections Where Corn Is Difficult
to Grow.
The use of sunflowers .for silage has
roved popular In certain of the Northrn
Great Flains and Inter-Mountain
fates where It Is not possible to prouce
a Inrge tonnage of corn for silage
urposes. In some sections the silage
lade from sunflowers has been found
> compare favorably in palatability
nd feeding value with silage made
om corn. This Is not always the
ase, however, as it appears that in
artaln Irrigated districts In the Northrn
Great Plains where the growth of
jnflowers is rank and succulent, the
?sulting silage is often not very paltable.
Experiments reported from
orrisrlmpnt farm In Mon
IC JLIUUIIVJ
ina of the United States Department
f Agriculture show thut while It le
ossible to produce from 25 to 30 tons
f sunflowers per acre, it has been difcult
to produce a silage that Is as
mch relished by live stock as corn
llage, which gives rather less than
alf as much tonnage per acre.
:aring for stubble lands
urn aa Soon as There Is Sufficient
Molature?Convert Weeds Into
Needed Humus.
Oats and wheat stubble that have
ot heen turned should he turned as
wn as there is sufficient moisture,
et rid of weeds by converting them
lto humus to improve your soil. If
heat is to be sown on oat fields the
ind should be turned as soon as posIble.
If a spring crop Is to follow
hejit, break as soon as you can to
heck weeds and get the lnnd ready
ar the next crop. The "blow sands"
ad probably best be left till spring.
Lambs Repay Good Feed.
Lambs on the best kind of forage
. 111 pay for n half pound of grain
ed daily. Oats, barley, corn, bran
nd 5 to 10 per cent oilmeal make the
est combinations of grain to feed
hem.
Properly Balanced Ration.
If a hog ration is properly balanced,
t takes less grnln to produce 100
ounds of grain than when corn is fed
lone.
