ALFALFA IS FOUND
AWFUL TROUBLESOME
Farmer Couldn’t Go to the
Circus for Cutting
Alfalfa Hay.
The following clipping has
been sent us by a farmer sub
scriber:
If you don’t want lots of
trouble don’t sow alfalfa. Along
in the middle of June, when the
corn needed cultivation the most,
we had to stop and cut the darn
ed alfalfa. It was in bloom,
three feet high. We had to haul
in twenty loads of hav off of it.
In July the folks in town in
vited us to spend a week atend
ing chautauqua. I suppose they
were glad when they got my
postcard announcing that we
could not come, because we had
to cut that blamed alfalfa patch
again. Gee, but it was hot haul
ing in that hay.
Worse still. I was fool enough
to go to work and sow five more
bushels of alfalfa seed. The on
ly rest I’ll get hereafter from
hauling in alfalfa will be on rainy
days.
It got a rain again in Septem
ber and about the first thing I
knew that darned alfalfa was
three feet high and a!! in bloom;
it had to have another hair cut.
Then Barnum & Bailey’s cir
cus came to town and darned my
buttons if I didn’t have to miss
that circus for the first time ,in
forty years. I got mad, and
then turned the pigs, cows and
calves into it; and still the blam
ed stuff kept growing to beat the
cars. They could not keep it
down, they got fat on it.
But still this alfalfa hay that
we sweat so cuttin’ and sackin’
makes mighty fine stuffin’ for
the cows these cold ground hog
days. Every thing on the place
e its it except the hired girl, and
she ain’t been here long. Oklee,
Minn., Herald.
Production of Hogs.
To produce pork profitably hogs
must feed and graze continuous
ly on pastures and crops particu
larly planted for them, is the ad
vice of government experts. Very
seldom is the growing of hogs
for slaughter a source of profit
unless proper galvanized and
feeding methods are followed.
In spring, summer and. fall
there are many crops for pastur
ing hogs, but during the winter
the crops to select are limited.
On almost every farm the pro
duction and keeping of hogs in
winter is expensive, and gen
erally it is not profitable because
large quantities of corn are fed
without products of green crops.
More winter grazing is needed,
for which many crops are adapt
ed. The most reliable are rape,
rye, oats, wheat and barley. If
is not too late to plant these crops
even in late November and in
most sections of the South this
is the best season.
For grazing purposes these
pasturing crops for hogs should
be sown on specially well drained
and prepared land that is either
rich or has received a liberal ap
plication of manure. Good win
ter pasturage is not obtained ex
cept on the best drained lands.
The seeding should be heavy to
insure a thorough planting. The
young plants will grow slowly in
the winter and many plants will
be needed to furnish plenty of
pasture. Crimson clover will do
well with rape, rye, oats, wheat
and barley and will mean an im
provement on the land.—South

Tom Watson Gives
$5,000 To Mercer.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 24.—Tom
Watson, Georgia editor and one
time Populist candidate for the
presidency, has given Mercer
University $5,000 in cash, inter
est on which is to educate fresh
men who need help. This an
nouncement was made at Mercer
chapel this morning. It also was
stated that Tom Watson had pro
vided in his will that Mercer re
ceive his library when he dies.
Reducing Acreage by
Legislation Absurd.
The editor of the Manufac
turer’s Record is a close observer
of conditions in the South. He
says: -
“Every effort to reduce cotton
acreage by legislation, national
or state, is, on its face, so absurd
that one wonders at such sugges
tions being made by public men.
“The right of a man to culti
vate his land and to put it in cot
ton or in corn as may suit his own
fancy, cannot be taken from him
by legislation, and if it could be
done it would result only in dis
aster.”
Kudzu Promising Hay Plant.
A hay producing plant that is
receiving quite a bit of attention
in various sections of the South
is the kudzu. Those who have
fed it, say that the stock will
very often leave corn for it. Its
analysis shows it to be compara
tively rich in protein, carbo
hydrates and fat, these of course
being the most important parts
of any feed. Some are also
grinding it up and producing
kudzu meal, the idea being to
produce a meal similar to alfalfa
meal. When ground up it re
sembles very much alfalfa meal.
Many believe this to be one of
the important hay crops of the
South in the future.
The best time for planting is
in the winter, or at least before
warm weather sets in, January,
February and early March prob
ably being the best times, and
the farther South it is planted
earlier.
It is propagated by means of
roots. These need not be plant
ed real thickly, because the plants
spread over the ground very rap
idly. Those who have grown it
say that if the plants are put in
in good shape before warm
weather sets in, that a fine crop
of hay should be produced by
May or June.
There can be no question but
that what the whole South needs
is more and better hay crops.
The high percentage of the feed
ing value found in Kudzu makes
the plant well worth while for
our farmers to try.
