years. There were no imports of
sugar from the Virgin Islands in

CRIMSON CLOVER SOD EQUAL
TO ANY APPLICATION OF
MANURE.
I have grown crimson clover for
the past eight years on red, gray
,and light sandy land. On part of the
Jand I have used acid phosphate and
think it pays well, although my clover
does well without any fertilizer at all.
I always inoculate with dirt from
where clover has been grown. I us
,ually so wseed on land where there is
a crop of cotton, just after the grst
picking, which is its the early part of
September. I find this the best time
to sow for there is danger of clover
being winter-killed after October 15.
The amount of seed I usually sow is
fifteen pounds per acre, and if the
'seed are good I have no trouble in
netting a good stand.
