CRIMSON CLOVER A SOIL 3UILCIN CRO? REVIVAL SERVICES AT BLACK SPRINGS CHURCH Services Lasting Tne Entire Week Comes to Successful End Rev. S. B. Jordan Conducted The Services During Revival. Revival services js;.ting an entire week came to an end Friday at Black Springs church, tlhfe meeting being con ducted twice daily by Rev. S. B.

One of the most prora ting for Georgia is Crimson Clover. On medium to good lands it can he raised successfully if care is used in sowing end inoculating the crop, but if these things are done carelessly th chances for success are slim. The time for sowing crimson clover 1c late September, aooording to t o best growers in the state, tho oeM to use are tho n/nhulled kinJ, the amount forty pounds per acre, ar. 1 the place for sowing is on firm land preferably pea stubble. No rolling harrowing, plowing or waiting for rain is necessary If the land lias never grown, Red White or Crimson clov r before, in oculation is as important as proper seeding, Coil from a field that has successfully grown one of taese clov ers is tho best inoculating materia’ It should be applied at the rate of one two hors- wagon load per acre. The best time for putting it on is in late November when the winter rains have started. Scattering over the land broadcast just before a rain is an ideal time. A light application of manure a,t this time mixed with * sack of acid phosphate will insure a bettor growth of clover. Seed -ceil be saved by cutting the clover with a mowing machine just before the seed begin to shatter and bringing to the barn while the dew is still on the plants. The hay when dry is shaken over u tall box with chicken wire for ai top and the setd drop into the box Enough seed can bo saved from an acre to sow at lea :t ten the following Fall. After the crimson clover is mature a crop of corn or pens can bv made. The clover makes tlbe corn dark and rich looking as If nitrate of soda, had been applied Crimson Clover seed can be bought in the hull for 7 1-2 cents per pound.
