Timely Article Upon Plantin Crimson Clover as Winter Cover Crop. Lay Your Plans. Just aa peas improve soil in sum mer so will crimson clover and otb er legumes increase the fertility of the soil in winter, besides making hay of superior quality. The fol lowing tim?# article upon planting crimson clover as a winter cover <crop is from the last issue of the Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh: It is generally known that mo6t ?egnnaes do better on soils contain ?ngoOnsiiierablb lime, and some of them positively refuse to make satis factory growth / except on what are popularly called lime soils, It has #ven been suggested that the fre cq??nt failures with crimson clover ;are largely due to a lack of lime in i&e.so?L This seems to us very ?e&ptr oba&Je, for we have seen splen t \ did crops^f it on the Coastal Plain sandy landa &f .North Carolina,! where there is ?ejfta?oly little lime, and also on soils in Mississippi and ^?abama which are deficient in par lbo#??e of lime* It may bc JBOjrej ?easy ^ ^obtain the necessary inoeu j?tiop on feue soils, but we believe <e?m8on .cloner may be successfully igXQWfl on almost, .any southern soil ttbai is .saniciently w^jl grained to the.cooroon .crops an?"". ;s not paaitiveiiy sour. Like most other i ' e TO pu, it wiiU ,do Jt>e?(t on a rich soiLi Time to vSow.. One of the chief obstacles to (be extensive growth of crimson clover $s ?he uncertainty of getting a stand fif yjgorous plants. This difficulty, ?ran,t,LD?r ?hp soil is inoculated, is proiai^^osjtd,^ to the dry weath er during the fali, SQ characteristic of the Cotton Belt, Eariy, #ay in ?Lu!y and August, there is su$ic?ent flipisture to bring up the plants, but jijf j^L dry weather follows they flj^jdto They are more likely to die i? tb&?&? is uot properly inoc ulated, .b.a?

On the other hand, if the sowing be pjjt^ 0*1 until &te m the faU-tberp may be sufficient moisture to bring up th? plants and enable them to mafca ifoe necessary growth to .wijjjstand tie $$4f winter freezes. Too laie planting, o> t?o,o plant is, therefore, rather r.isky^ , thorak jw .tin^wne^ not fceengp^?^red.

No. 2. land. Ip sowing crimson clover for the first time it is advisable to obtain from 300 to 500 pounds of soil from a field that has recently grown red clover, white clover or crimson clo ver successfully, and we would pre fer it from the orimnon clover field. Scatter this sojl, while moist, even ly over ari acre and harrow it in at once. The objection to this meth- ( od of inoculating the soil is the dan ger of introducing weeds and other P(i?ia, If the soil <;an not he ob tained, reduce the .area to one-half acre and obtain cultures for inocu lating the soil from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., or from some of the commercial houses advertis ing the material. After you have grown even one-half acre success fully, you have right-on your own farm all the soil you need for inoculating the remainder of the fai m. Crimson clover as a winter covet for cottori lands and as a gatherer of nitrogen fpr enriching the soil, at-a time of tlje year when our sta ple crops (\o pot occupy the land, is too yaluable a crop to be neglected. Make the conditions right on a small area, inoculate the whole farm and then grow it wherever practicable. If seed are too high Rriced, grow them yourself.

It is very generally regretted by those who attended the good roads meeting Friday tfoat a greater num ber wore not present to hear the most excellent address by Mr. D. H. Winslow, who, with Mr. C. W. Moorman, is making a tour of the state in the interest of good rpads, being sent out in automobiles by th.e Columbia Record. This pro gressive newspaper^ whose editor and manager is $r. James Ar U?Jfii wiU send its', representatives jntq ovary oounty, advocating improve ment of the public highways. This is a very praiseworthy undertaking, and one that will result in lasting good. The Record's experts are sow ing good roads seed along their route that will in time aid very ma terially in "leavening the whole Supervisor li. j. Moultrie was; caliea to the chair, and he requested Mr. O, W, Moorman to state the purpose of the meeting, after which he introduced Mr.D. H. Winslow, a highway engineer, who is in the employment of the national govern ment. He is not a theorist but an en gineer flf !$rge a^d varied practical experienoe. Mr. Winslow first spoke of the assistance that the government is now giving in, the matter of road im provement throughout ?the entire' country, bulletins upon pyery phase and form of road balding ari} p?fn? published and di^tribiit?d free, A testing department is maintained in which stone and other road build ing material is tested free, of cost. The government will furnish men to build a section of road in any county as an object lesson. u^iflg the eoijnty road-working' ?o?c?. Actual post of ' the, building of the piepe of road will be accurately kept, so a? to enable tbs tivUena of a county to estimate oosti of road im provement under looal oondliloun, rhe speaker stated that tho north ern and''some -southern- states - have' for sixteeen years been invoking governniept aid along tho Ipi suggeijted Uut that South t>ar.o?in^ bftS b??n aslpcp anfl has, not asked % li lli the matter ol' direct appropria tion of money for road building, South Carolina would be but little benefited. Mr. Winslow showed by actual figures that were national aid distributed on a basis of popiu lation o'rN total tnijeage this 'state would receive from only one to two per cent of a hundred million dollar appropriation. He said that a dis tribution of aid on basis of popula tion WQiiJt! wanif?atiy unjust W cause the sparsely settled rural dis triyts stand in greatest need ol' road improvement. Southern Congress men have been active in their efforts to secure direct appropriation but so far they have been, unsuccessful. During the last session of congress 1? good roads bills were introduced but all were kille^. Mr.' Winsjo^' ??id the gr-eatest problem in road bujlding in Edge tield poupty is matter of grade, which makes roads expensive to maintain after being constructed. He said that tho velocity of the water that runs over a road, and not the volume, is what injures the road most. Steep grade increases th* oq?,t of tranBpoj3tatiu.n i)eoauat>, lt limits the hauling capacity, "'liesi'des, the increased cost qi drawing a loao" up grade, the wear and tear upon vag ?n, harness and team is greater gp? ing down bj!},than when traveling on level road. In the construction pf bridges, Mr. Winslow advised short spans and broader abutments. Tue latter, can be constructed oj sto^e, Wjiiiv-: ing no ivpairs, while the farmer : must be repainted and repaired from time to. time. He favors a state high wa" com mission, whose duty would be the sending of consulting engineers out in the counties to confer with the supervisors and lay out nev roads, etc. Mr. Winslow emphasised the importance of employing a Ugh way engineer to plan bridges an! survey roads. An ordinary surveyor is hot equipped for this special \\qrk. He cited several instances ii which large sums had been save-l in road construction through, ?\e eruploy ment of experienced road builders. He advised the buildii.g of con crete bridges instead of wood or iron. Railroads throughout the coun ty have learned the val ie of con cr?te and are using it almost ex clusively. Abbeville co?nty is ^up planting old structure? with con crete bridges. He also advises the use pf olay or metal i>ipcs instead of small wooden brid jes. When E(Contiued on eight! page.)
