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.

Washington, July, 1935? The de

Columbia, S C August 3,? 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,

Press For 12c
Cotton Loan
Washington, August 4th ? 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.
