Washington.?The government will
take over this year's entire wheat
crop, if necessary, in order to conserve
the supply for Ann rica's fighting
forces and the Allies and reduce
costs to the consumers of this country,
according to an announcement of
Herbert Hoover regarding the policies
of the food administration for
the control of wheat, flour and bread.

VALUE OF CRIMSON CLOVER AS i
A CLOVER CROP:
Crimson clover is no doubt the
best winter leguminous crop to
plant in the orchard, as well as on
the farm. The acreage in crimson
clover in South Carolina is
its great value as a soil builder
is fast becoming appreciated.
TIME TO PLANT:
Crimson clover may be planted
from August loth to November
15th. but best results will be obtained
from seed sown between
September 15th and October 15th.
AMOUNT OP SEED TO SOW
PER ACRE
Twelve pounds of cleaned seed,
or twenty-four pounds of seed In
the bur. per acre will give a good
seeding. When sown as late as
October 15th. I would advise sowing
fifteen pounds of cleaned seed,
or thirty pounds of seed in the
bur.
. COST OF SEED PER ACRE:
The price of crimson clover
seed was very high during the
past season, due to the increased 1
demand for eed. and to the cut- !
ting off of practically all importation
of clover seed from Europe.
Even at the high price of $8.00
per bushel, the cost of seed for
one acre of crimson clover is only
$1 tin.
SAVE YOUR OWN SEED AND
SOME TO SELL YOUR NEIGHBOR
Four hundred and fifty pounds
of crimson ( lover seed in the bur
may he barested per acre, which
will he sufficient to sow fourteen
acn s. if the seed are sold at !
seven cents per pound (the price I
l ist fall i. this would give a gross
urn of $dl.50 for the seed per;
acre. ' |
[. COST OF SAVING SEED:
Three men and one mule with
a home made seed harvester like
tic ore shown in the accompanying
illustration can harvest from
one to two acres of crimson clover
seed per day.
II. COST OF HOME MADE HARVESTER:
The seed harvester ( Fie I l il
lnstrated above was made on too
farm in one day by two men. The
total cost of this machine, including
labor was $4.50. It was made
from scrap material picked up
about the farm.
III. STORING OF SFFJD:
The seed must be dry when
gathered, otherwise they will not
Strip from the stems easily. The ,

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES
Clemson College* S. C.?During the
months of March end April forest fired
frequently break out and burn over
large areas In South Carolina, The
strong winds which 'we have atthhi
season of the year drive off all of the
moisture accumulated during the winter
rains thus leaving the leaves, straw
and other litter dry and very inflammable.
These winds at the same time
a^rve "to fan the smallest blaze into
a dangerous and destructive fire.
Fires cause an annual loss of $50,
000.000 in the United States by burning
standing timber and destroying
the soil covering, tfuig impoverishing
the soil, and by destroying the seed
and seedling trees, the future forest

seed are removed from the hai
vester and immediately placed ii
oat sacks. They should then !>
sunned for a few days until th
seed have thoroughly dried, an
then stored in the barn. A goo
plan is to suspend the bags fro'
the ceiling. This will get then
out of the way, and give a t're
circulation of air about the seewhich
will prevent any possibilit.
of their moulding.
IX. A SIMPLE AND EFFECT IVI
WAY OF INOCULATING SEED:
Where clover has not previou
ly grown, it is necessary to in
culate the seed before sowing. S
cure a bushel of soil from lam
where crimson clover has bee:
grown successfully, and place i
in a water-tight barrel. Then ado
about thirty gallons of water, ana
stir thoroughly. The seed ar.
then placed in an oat sack an
plunged several times into thwater
until they are thorough <
wet. Remove the seed from th
sack, spread them out on a clea.
floor, and allo^ them to dry ii
the shade for about two hours
The seed are then sown and the j
land harrowed immediately,
would advise sowing the seed o'
freshly harrowed land late in the

Hairy vetch ami crimson clover
sown together made an ideal cover

of vetch and clover sown Septem

nor vetch had been grown
before. The photograph was
made when the vetch and clover
were in bloom. The seed were inoculated
as described above. Eight
pounds of clover seed and ton
p utuls of vetch were sown per
acre.
XI. WHEN TO TFltX UNDER:
It is necessary to turn under
clover when the soil is in go"d
condition, regardless of the stage
of the clover at the time. I would
advise turning under the clover
as soon after blooming as so!

(he land is left perfectly bare. SuHi
areas do not-come bark into profitable
forests for half a century.
There are a number of ways In
which the people of a community can
co operate to prevont the damage don"
by forest fires. In some sections of
the court tily it is the duty of fhe R. F.

them on their routes. Game wardens
Jp, many states act as fire wardens
and have authority to summon men
to fight fires.. There-ought, of course,
to be organized fire fighting machinery

SOUP KITCHENS IN BELGIUM I
How the Gigantic Work of Relieving .
Starving Nation Is Being
Conducted.
The
soup kitchen organized In Urn*- ,
iels by the American commission tor
relief is now undoubtedly the large* t
in the world. Nearly I fly thouKanc.
people entirely destitute wait in the
"bread lines" every day, and over
thousand gallons of soup utid four
thousand kilograms of bread are daily
distributed to them
"Unlike the bread lines 1 have seen
in America," says a report from one of
the representatives in Brussels, "these
are all people of one nationality and
all with a common and undeserved
misfortune. They are of all classes,
but we know none of them save by
number, because no matter what their
station or the extent of their misfortune
they still have l'amour propre,
and many of them, if they were compelled
to write their names on coupons
when they get the soup, would rather
starve than take it. None of them
think that they will always have to be
in the bread lines, and every one of
them feels that when it is all over
they will want to forget that they
have been destitute.
"The soup for these pitiful flotsam
and jetsam of war is all prepared in
t t/M1 (ii\i. ,*f f li 1 titm1!!'!.
\ i i%r. i ci i PIUI cuvuoro \#i \ 11 v i 111^ i ua
tional Express Company Van (land.
More than one hundred people are onpaged
in this work. Among them are
former chefs of some of the leading
hotels of Brussels, who give direction
as to the kind and quality of the soup,
its ingredients and their proportions.
lTnder them are those who clean the
vegetables?potatoes, carrots, .beans,
etc.?and prepare the meat. This entire
staff is composed of volunteers,
except the chefs, who receive, at the
most half a dollar a day.
"Prom throe o'clock in the morning,
when the cooking of the first 5.000 gallons
of soup is started, the scene In
the circuslike storehouse of the express
company is one of tremendous
activity with the moving figures of
the hundred white-clad chefs, the fires
ablaze under scores of immense cauldrons?all
dimly seen through the sitting
clouds of pungent steam rising
from the boiling soup.
"When the soup is cooked it is sent,
under the seals of the commission and
under the protection of the American
flag, in large lorries to the twenty-one
canteens scattered all over Brussels.
These canteens were formerly schools,
dance halls. Turkish baths, etc. During
the morning, wherever one goes,
women and children may be seen coming
and going with pitchers of steain'ng
soup And tin ir rations of bread under
their arms."
Mournful Industry.
One French industry that has grown
apace since tie- beginning of August
is the making of those funeral wreaths
with which the cemeteries in Prance
are always so primly decorated. Many
a soldj.-r's grave is marked today only
by a cross and a cheap little tricolor
waving gloriously in the transient sunshim1,
but there is a big demand
arm.ng those who may bring their lost
ones nearer home to rest for the conventional
mourning wreaths. The
shop windows are filled with these
things and with promises that orders
v ill oe instantly fulfill* d at the workshops.
One imagines that the very finicky
work must k? ? p a large number of
girls employed, for all those elaborately
twisted designs of flowers and foli-'
age are made of wire strung with the
tiniest of heads, and enormous quantities
must be used for every wreath.
The designs do not seern to have
varied The favorite is still the wreath
of beartseo^^4 worked out in melancholy
livid shades of purple, blue and
gray-green, but the words in running
script across the design are "Mort
pour la Patrle."
Real Possum Hollow Discovered.
That Possum Hollow is an actual
place, and not a handy name for fictionists
is proved by the Putnam County
.Journal's country correspondence.
The staff correspondent at Possum
Hollow writes th.it James Kenney
visited his sister; James Kenney
and wife called on Will Hrancomb and
wife; Kd Kenney and others cut and
hauled their uncle, James Kenney, a
nice lot of wood; Mrs. Dora Thompson
helped her aunt, Mrs. Kenney,
cook for the men who out and hauled
wood for Mr. and Mrs. James Kenney;
Will Hrancomh and family moved
to the place Will rented from James
Kenney; Mortimer Hill and his sister
Ruth called on James Kenney and
wife. It is to be taken for granted
that James Kenney is the most popular
citizen of Possum Hollow.
