Tlir I mpol liinr«> of l.ogiitiilnoiiN Crops for

In my Iriht, letter l referred to tho
importance «»f leguminous • • r«»|in tie*
rest '»rut inn i»f mir land so ns to make
urn n iiinini crops, possible, mid spoke
of t'ic imporlmieo of the southern cow
pen in starling this improvement.
Within tin* past live years another
crop has been introduced loom* farm
ers' notice that promises to he the
greatest, aid and ullv of tin* row pea
for t lie Mint hern fanner that Inin yet.
Leon tested, 't his is the annual grow
ing clover, now known as crimson
clover. There is no plan* I tint Ills in
so well with the cow* pea as a forage
crop for t he mm I h or as a renovating
crop. | have been urging the merits
of this clover upon the cotton farmers
of tin* south for several years and not
«»nly on the eottou farmers, hut on all
of our farmers alike. Mr. R. IV Me*
Anally. of .Saxon. N. (’ writes that. In*
tried crimson clover three years ago,
hut It grew only nine Inches high and
In* discarded it. lint recently lie
"as induced to give il another
trial with the help of suO pounds of
kuiiiit per acre harrowed in with the
seed, and now he reports a wonderful
growth "as thick as tin* hair on a
dog's hack." This shows that Ids soil
• •ceded the help of the potash ill the
Kainit to enable it to gather nitrogen
for him The j-nvit advantage to tin*
cotton farmer in tin* crimson clover
erop is that he* can sow It all through
his cotton Held after the cultivation
Is over in August and will have u
green pasture all winter in place of a
hare soil washing away nil through
Hu* winter rains, and will have 11
growth to plow under for corn in the
spring that will insure him a goml
crop. Then as I have said, It tits in
well with the cow pen crop, for as
soon ns the pens are cut for hnv, he
can sow the clover need on the laud
lifter stirring It. w ith a cutaw ay har
row, and can pasture It until time to
put tin* land in order for cotton.
Mr William t'holcc, of Spartanburg,
N. C., writes that lit* hud an outlying
farm that he tried to sell as he hud
more land than he needed, but falling
to do so, he ashed my advice how to
treat it, as the land hud been badly
run down under the old one-crop
planting system. I advised him to use
liberally potash salts and dissolved
pliosphatic rock, and sow It down- In
crimson clover, lie prepared In Au
gusta large Held and did as directed.
This results have been he any** more
than satisfactory. 'In April follow
ing the clowr was in full hloom, and
made ii large cron of hay. which wii*
off in time In plant cotton. Planted
on the clover sod without any other
manure, and the young cotton now
shows that rich rank growth which is
a fair harbinger of a good crop. Tlii;;
goes to show that, a proper rotation,
with crimson clover as* the Imsis
of recuperation, will make the farm
rich and a I the sain** linn* give paying
crops.” Here then *.\c mm* the elTect of
one well-fct ili/..*d crop of crimson
clover, the hay from which fully paid
all the o.\pciis» of tl)»* fertilizer/* in
giving the promise of a good crop
without furl her ferl ilizTit.ion. No hills
for complete fertili/ers at ii high price
to he paid for out of that cotton.
’riils shows what I have been for
veiirs insisting upon, that tlm true
way to fertilize for our sale crops is to
use the cheaper forms of mineral plant
food to grow a heavy crop of the
plants that are going to capture for us
the nitrogen that costs ho much in
a complete fertilizer ami thus
not only get a heavy forage
crop to feed for the making qt
a profit out of stock, and to make
our manure pile* larger, hut thus fix
nitrogen in the In ml for the succeeding
crop of cotton or corn. This is in effect
not only getting the fert ilizer free for
the cotton crop, hut. the making of a
profit in doing so, and at the same time
have the satisfaction t<» know that our
soil is actually being improved by the
process. It has been well said that
"Ilie coming farmer of the south will
be a legume farmer.” Cow pens and
crimson clover, with a liberal use of
the cheap potash and phosphate, lie at
the very foundation «>f all rational
farm improvement in the south. Ily
their aid the land need never, cither it\
summer or winter, ho left to the wast
ing of rains and sun by lying hare,
but between every hoed crop may Im*
covered with a growth to yield
profit while it gathers fertility
for the land and food for the sale crops,
lint it must not bo assumed that these
crops w ill tiring all the elements of
fertility to a soil that has been ex
hausted by long tillage and exposure
to the leaching effects of rain and sun.
If you want the best results from the
act inn of leguminous crops, you must
feed them. They will gather nitro
gen for you free, but they can not get
the potash and phosphoric acid that
the crops of former years have taken
from the soil, and without these are
given them they can not^get the nU.ro*
gen they would with a well-dovoioped
growth, iMid you will not only lose the
lm.y crop they would give but
the effect on the sol) for sul>so-
quetit crops. Nothing from nothing
and nothing remains. It will pay far
better to put a liberal dressing of the
cheap mineral fertilizers on the pea
and clover crops than to put the same
money value in a high-grade fertilizer
on the cotton crop direct* and not only
►v»v >»*tt«*r in the cotton cron, but iu
the permanent improvement of the soil.
Having these two crops then as sheet
anchors in our effort.** to grow cotton
cheaply, we will take up in our next
the various rotations of crops that
may be practiced with cnltc n as the
tmoney crop; or, in other words, the
wav i’i which we will change from
planting to funning. ~\V. F. Massey,
North Carolina Experiment Station.
\ Vital QucfilloM.
How to get most profit from our im
mense crop of corn is now a vital ques
tion with Texas farmers. No matter
how high the price may he, selling it
straight will not give the greatest
profit. The man who buys it must
have a profit also. He divides the profit
with the farmer, but. not iu the middle.
The farmer in the transaction will get
tho smaller pile every time. To get the
most profit from a crop it must be nil
utilized—-the fodder and the husks, as
well as the grain, if, in addition to
tho farmer's proHt in producing the
crop he can add tho feeder’s profit, lie
will l»e. going at it right. To do this
he must buy cattle or hogs if he has
neglected to raise them, or if be
has not raised enough, let him
buy a steer or two, or enough to make
a ear load; or tho same with hogs. Hut
in doing this he must exercise judg
ment. Some steers and some hogs are
not worth buying, (let stock that will
know what to do with food when they
get it—that ran eat it at a profit. No
man can feed cattle or hogs as profita
bly as the farmer who grows the feed,
because there is the pasture that would
otherwise be wasted, and there are
odds and ends that may be consumed
ut home that could not be sold. When
farmers turn their at tention to the con
sumption as well as the production of
a took food, they will begin to reap the
legitimate profits of their business. —

K«*d Clovtr.
Red clover will not thrive In much
of the south, aud iu the uorth there is
a considerable area iu which good
growths can uot be gotten without
heavy fertilizing. This area is increas
ing, and is uot entirely due to the ex
haustion of the soil. A continued
close rotation that includes clover
tends to diminish the power of Rome
sods to grow clover luxuriantly. It is
the new soils that give the heaviest
yields of clover, us a rule, and when
every third year has been devoted to
this plant for a period of thirty or
forty years, failure to get good standa
becomes frequent. It is not safe to in
fer that tho soil is exhausted, as large
crops of grain can still lx; grown, and
we are forced to accept the statement
of Prof. Storer and other students of
history of English and continental ag
riculture, that it is not safe to practice
a three-vear crop rotation with clover
