WHY NOT DOUBLE YOUR CLOVER
ACREAGE TtflS FALL?
Prog/ossivo Fanner/' k
AVd wish ©very Progrpsfltoo, farmer
YG&uflfi would ask himself seriously now
whether he ought w>t to* double his elo*
vor acreage this full—tlint is to say,
how just twice ns >mu\h Hover this full
ns ho hus ever sown before.
A ton of Hover hay' contains a little
more nitrogen than a ton of 8-2-2 fer
tilizer, and an acre of ordinary land will
grow a ton of Hover hay. Clover Ini*
proved land—land that is brought up
to a high degree of fertility by -system-
ntlc rotation, including Hover—will pro*
duec two Ions to the acre or more,
With nitrogen in fertilizers easting 25
cents per pound the 40 pounds of nitro
gen in one ton of elovor lmy is worth
$10; the nitrogen in two tolls is worth
$20. How ninny Southern farmers can
afford to lose thih $10»6r $20 ml acre
by failure to grow Hover this full /
Have we not thousands of'acres—mil
lions of them—tlmtlouf all. the'winter /
Worse than thirty tllPy Will not merely-'
loaf or bo idle, but Actually grow poorer

Hcres with Hover, then this soil-wnsting
Will, be reduced, bra minimum iipd'freo

6f the soil'i^by growing legumes is so
Hmjfle, easy, nml inexpensive that we
itygfl cVery .reader \o sy.t .the exumple, of,
doublpig Ilia-clover acreage -this falf and
thus leavl his neighbors intp’getting the
fienellf tfipt., ( vvill be suri.* to follow..
But clovers are not useful merely f<p*
enriching land. Legumes are at the head
of rough feeds for feeding livestock,
and the best of them are equal to wheat
bran pound for pound ns a feed. It of
ten happens that sonio of us run short
of feeds before the usual hoy crops are
harvested and we are either forced to
the necessity of buying feed or luffing
our stock go hungry. Other farmers do
not have enough feed to risk the venture
of raising more livestock tlian they have
been keeping. If we double our elovor
acreage these difficulties will be met and
overcome. Doubling our clover acreage
may also care as of the bad habit of
pulling fodder. If cured of this habit
Wo can grow more corn and better corn.
If we contract the clover and legume
lmbit, all our crops will produce higher
yields at less cost, nml our land will lin
er me richer. ^
Jf we are to get the fine results we
ought to get from oirr doubled Hovel*
acreage, however, we must tidm Hovers
into our family of crops and oh an equal
footing with the others, make them at
home, nml treat them right, plovers re
quire a well-prpnred, firm sebd bed;
they demand lime, and they cannot suc
ceed unless inoculated with their special
variety of nitrogen-gathering bacteria,
Jf fertilizers pn.j* under other crops, they
will pay under Hover, The seed must
have moisture for germination and sow
ing. should )>o done f nnl,y -when there is
ample moistuh* in the soil. Sow a peek
of seed to*the acre, cover with a weeder
apd press the soil about them with a
rpllpr of. drag; or, better still, with
cnlti-pncker or corrugated roller.

A HUMAN MYSTERY.
Atlanta Constitution.
When “Patty” Arbuckle was releas
ed on bond pending his trial for man
slaughter, press reports say that “ women*
from the audience swarmed to the mil
which stood between Arbuckle and the
audience nml began wringing his hand,
patting him on tho back and congratula
ting ldm;” also that when he left the
court-room and went out upon the street
a free man he was “literally mobbed”
by women, who- showered joyful congrat
ulations upon him.
It may be that Arbuckle is not guilty
of murder, nor of manslaughter, but the
evidence adduced nt ids commitment
hearing all goes to show that the Ar
buckle affair was revolting in every <lc*
tail. It was bnd enough from the view
point of the average hardened nfnn, but
how self-respecting women eoulrl “show-
^ congratulations” upon the 'central
figure of the disgraceful debauch is be
yond comprehension.
Men are by nature supposed to be
more tolerant of the coarser things in
life, and inclined to be more lenient to
ward moral depravity than are women;
Woman is more finely attuned to the
lofty ideals of personal conduct.
And yet, it seems, there were , good:
women in Snn Francisco—a veritable
“mob” of them—who not only did not
shudder at the revolting developments
of Fatty’s gin debauch party, but who
“patted him on the back” and deluged
him with felicitations I
Why is it, apd what is in the lmnmu
nature that, occasionally causes such par
adoxical demonstrations by women, we
are at n loss to understand.
It is one oP the ,mysteries of human
emotionB^that never has been, and prom
ably, never will be, ciptyiupd.
