C. lespkdkza Interest in Lespedeza service has ajpread during ' the pa$t several years from Tennessee and North Carolina to the, adjoining states. Trials of thia new perennial type of lespedeza on the federal experiment farm at Ar lington, Va., the Tennessee experi ment station at Knoxville, and more recently at the Georgia experiment station, experiments Jtave sown that this legume has considerable promise for hay, and possibly for grazing and coil improvement. Many farmers are now making inquiry yrtth regard to this crop. This interest is well, found ed, as experiments |how that the plant has remarkable jiower to grow on peor land, although like any other crop it does best on good soil. The main drawback to its culture in the difficulty in dbtai^iing good standi*. At present the crop is too new to make definite rcommendations as to its value and culture. However, best results so far, according to R G Pridmove of the Georgia Agronomy department, have been obtained by B the following methods: The stand, exiperfcrtents on the ex periment ' station farm ' show that thick seeding of scarified seed, for hay, About 15 to 26 pounds per acre broadcast and. for seed, from 2 to 5 pounds h rows, at cotton planting time, g&ve the beet result. Scricea iseed are extremely hard and should always be scartftedi thoroughly to assure ex good Atand of this crop. It Is net necessary to Inoculate the seed or to use fertiliser except possib ly on eery sandy soils. The seedlings of lespedeia , sericea endure shading very well and a broadcast stand ovei ran with weeds should not be aban* eoned. Stands that look like a total failure the first year to those not fa miliar with the croft will thicken up v the second tad tMrd years to satis factory at safe as plants incresso in size. Also new plants come up eith er from hard seed in the original sow ing or from seed produced by the old plants. A good stand will last for aj number of years if not cut too often or grazed too heavily. The best seed bed preparation has been found to be where the land was ' well pulverized in t'hte fall and allow-! ed to settle until the spring. The^ soil was lightly harrowed with a disc' harrow and the seed broadcast with-j out covering as the rain washes the | small seed into the grooves and cov- j era them. Running a cultipacker over tlhfe land before seeding gave good results. When growing this crop for seed i* is best to plant the seed in rows, two and one half to three feet apart and give clean cultivation the first year. The plant is a heavy seed or and one acre should yield enough fiead to plant ten or more acres. One difficulty in connection with crop for Ibeed is the matter of hulling and scar ifylng tUvo seed. Rome growers have ."used clover hullers of the rasp type which will thresh, hull, and scarify in one operation. Seed can be thresh ed with a grain separator. A fairly satisfactory imfichine to hull and scar ify seed can be bought for about $00:00. Jf*y yields of Lespedeza sericea will vary according to the season and lioll condition. A crop of hay rway be expected the second year after plant ing, and observations .at tho (Jeorgia experiment station have shown that the stands thicken from year to year if the plants are allowed to go to seed. A plot of serlcea growing on t'.ie station far j n was divided into several Mocks and cut for hay at different dates with tti?e following aero yields: cut May 29th, 2,857 pounds; cut June 18th, 8.828 (pounds; cut June 27th, 5,067 pounds. Although these yields I are not as high as some reported elsewhere for this legume, thft rMttlt Is twy satisfactory for the oondition of t'he experiment. Lespedeza scricea should be cut for hay when about 18 inchs high. The hay is leafy and cures easily. The leaves do not shatter readily in the field but do in the bam. Under fav orable conditions, two cuttings a year can be made or a hay cop and a seed crop can be made the same year. The quality is fairly good, and the hay is readily eaten by all class es of livestock. As yet no other ex periments havo been run to deter mine its feeding value in comparison with other legume hay. To summarize the i.-niportant (pract ices for the cultivaion of Lespedeza sericea In Georgia, the following may be suggested: it thrives well on poor worn soils; the norfh*east section of the state appears to be adapted to sericea, although good results have been reported in other parts of the ?tat?; the seed must be scarified and a firm seed food is very important.

The de partment of agriculture in a report to congress this week ,pointed out that the SouUh with its vast area of fast growing pine, holds promise of assuming a dominent position in the nations production of pulp and pap er. In the report the dapartment afso recognized the work of Dr. Charles H. Herty in developing newsprint from Georgia pine. | Discussing obtaining newsprint frdm Southern Yellow Pine, the report paid: This vast area of forest land in tho southern pine region is capable of supplying tremendous quantities of pulpwood and is readily accessible to tho principal consuming markets of tfh<o country. ' Rapid growth and easy logging conditions put production on a fav [ orablo basis (but tho extremely low prices for wood which jprevail at ?present may not be expected to ob tain over long periods under actual working conditions. Tho South is also favorably situat ed with respect to sulphur and llma stnoe needed in the chemical pulp process. AltflVough water power i(s not so generally available in the South as in t Jfrc Northeast and Cana da, nevertheless, many developed and ?potential power source as in Ala bama and the Tennessee valley, are at hand and cheap steam power may offset the deficiencies in this indust ry in this connection. ?

Is the bootlegging situation in South Caro-i lina becoming better as the new law pwings along, or is it worse than in the old days? That is a question many have asked recently. Two State const ables who preferred not to use their nairtes said they believed that there were more engaged in illegal liquor 'business now than in prohibition days. One said that from personal ex perience that there were as many mjen engaged in the thfandling of ille gal liquor as there were in the tex tile businesss. The State tax commission admits that some wholesale and retail deal ers are nbbetting the illegal trade iby supplying stamped liquor to boot leggers. They are doing this in many and devious ways and some retail ers are taking a small cut from the bootlegger by letting him use their names. Corn liquor in kegs and jars is still (plentiful, although! chief Jeanes and his mjen are still active day and night in arresting sellers, confiscating caches of liquor and des troying stills. But with 22 men work ing the whole state, there are not enough to go around and the business goes merrily on. ! The ERA still continues to funct ion in spite of all the 'pressure that is being put behind the Works Prog ress Administration. The sum of $500,000 has been allotted for Aug ust relief and Col. J D Fulp is trying to get $100,000 tmore to pull through the needy on the rolls. None of the WPA projects has been approved in Washington and work therefore can; not start. Those on the old ERA rolls are being given work enough to tide tJhem over until the large program! starts, but when this will be done no one seems to know. Colonel Fulp announced this week that 46 the counties would be divided into districts as announced ipreviously to cut about $75,000 monthly in over- j head cotAs. The ten districts will be reduced in whatever proportion need ed to care for the unemployed. The projects now submitted to Washing- j ton, it is said, even if they are all j approved, would not take care of ono, tftvird of the clients now on the re lief rolb. Governor Johnston decried the eco nomic disorder that has forced so many to accept public charity in his I speech before the South Carolina! Confederate veterans Tuesday night.

Strong political pressure ror 12 cent loan to help peg 1935 cotton crop prices de scended today u(pon administration officials. Some of the AAA bosses were dis closed to doubt the advisability of any loan at all. Othere said privately they believed an advance from 10 to 12 cent3 might be authorized. Chester C. Davis, AAA administra tor, said that the amount of the loan probably would ibe announced \ahortly after the government esti mate of the 1935 cotton production. This will be issued Thursday. Meanwhile those favoring the 12 cent figure were reported to have turned Mieir attention also to the White House and Congress, as well as the AAA. What worried the AAA was the possibility that with the cotton loan i policy, the AAA and tlite commodity credit corporation might find them selves conironted with the same sit uation that gained criticism for the j old la vr.i\ board. The commodity cre dit corporation has advanced dir ectly or has guaranteed through .private agencies, 12 cent loans total mg$ 271'775,525 on 4,454, 039 bales of cotton. These figures are made on cotton held by the producers pool. The pool now has 675,000 bales of spot cotton and 933,000 bales of fu tures. The loans were due early this >ear. They have been extended until February 1st, 1936. Some officials I said they did not believe that the ! government would be repaid un less cotton reached the price of 13 cents a pound. The carry over of American cot ton August 1st was 8,300,000 bales rnd the Bankhead allotment this year was 10,983,264 bales. However some private estimates of the 1935 crop run as hig!h as 12,000,000 bales. (If the crop should be that large, an official Faid, the farm administration would be confronted with a delicate problorrt. Suggestions have been made that the government take over cotton ?on which loans are now outstanding and use this to establish the 'ever normal granary' sponsored by sec retary Wallace and authorized by the AAA amendments pending in Con gress. Under this plan the govern ment would use t'hfe cotton itself for cash. Keep a Good Laxative always in your home Among the necessities of hoaw 1s ft good, reliable laxative.
