CLOVER AT IiAST PLOWING.
Correspondents Are Wanting to Know
About Sowing This Valuable Crop
in Cotton and Corn.
Messrs. Editors : ( 1 ) How many
pounds of crimson clover seed should
1)0 sown to the acre in corn for best
results? r .
(2) How would red clover suit
sown in corn the last plowing, say as
late as July 20th? "Hope some one
will answer in your next issue.
I enjoy reading The Progressive
Farmer; think it should be read by
every farmer in the State.

rei. us sav first of all that this
question of sowing clover in corn
and cotton is a fine one to carry up
to your Farmers' Institute. If you
should happen to be near one, go and
carry all the questions of this kind
that you can think of.
As to quantity of crimson clover
seod, sow fifteen pounds to the acre.
As to red clover and rye in corn,

A Buggy That Drums For Itself.
. There's a buggy company doing
business in Atlanta by the name of
the Golden Eagle Buggy Company.
It has no drummers except the kinds
that go in advertisements such as the
company carries in The Progressive
Farmer, the kinds that go through
the mails with a stamp on them, and
the goods they sell. Their buggies
are ood drummers themselves. The
company received an order not long
ago " reading this way: "I want an
exact duplicate of Mr. L 's buggy
withl 1907 improvements." Now that's
a good buggy when it goes out and
gets orders from the neighbors for
exact duplicates. And it looks like
