Atfatfa amt hur ctover inocutate for sweet ctover. !f the tamt is not inocu tated, then inocutation witt he as necessary as sowing the seed. Appty broadcast and disk into the soit before sowing the seed. "Scarified seed simply means that the seed hutt has been scratched or cracked so misture can enter and aid in getting germination. The seed are hard coated and onty a few of them wit) sprout the first year if not scanned. Red (lover was ('nee a more common crop in the Piedmont South than now. Poor seed and hick of time caused failures and many lost faith in it. It is not the fault of the clover. On any good soil sweetened with lime and car rying inoculation, red clover can be depended on to make good crops. Like sweet clover, too, it can be depended on for two years, in which time it will have so im proved the land as to double the yields of other crops. Alfalfa is the most difficult of the legumes to produce success fully on our Southern soils as we And them today, ft produces yiefds too heavy to succeed on poor land. It may he cut front three to five times in one season and with good treatment will con tinue to produce for several years. Alfalfa will not grow without lime and inoculation. Two or more tons of ground limestone per acre, or its equivalent, should be applied as Soon as possible in the mountains of Virginia and at least by late August in the moun tains of North Carolina and Pied mont Virginia. Further south or east, sowings should he made by September t$.—Pregressive Farmer. HOW I WAS CON VERTED TO DAIRYING (By h. E. Lee, Union, Mig*s. In the fall of !pt4. the most serious problem of my life con fronted me. Cotton fell in price below cost of production, and I had no other money crops on hand with which to meet notes due on my home or to pay my store account. I went to the holder of my notes and asked for an extension of time, hut met with a curt refusal. I went over to the bank of my home town, the cashier of which was a close friend, but he could not take my paper up: he suggest ed, however, that f try the Fed eral Land Rank, which I did, soon arranging my financial difhculties satisfactorily. In the spring of !pt5, I attend ed a public sale .of Jersey cows and bought a heifer for $ta$.oo. My neighbors laughed at me for paying such a price for "a year ling," but she was of good breed ing and registered. She brought her Rrst calf (a male) that fall, and proved to be an extra good; producer—this was the nucleus of a future dairy herd. 1 sold her first calf to a friend for $50.00. I began selling cream in a small way about )Qtb. That fall my cow brought a heifer calf and continued to bring heifers once a year for seven years. It was.not hmg before I realiz ed that the profits in dairying de pended largely on home raised feed and pastures, and began a system to produce most of my feed on the farm. By the spring of tpaa. 1 lord a mye herd of good tpilk cows, a bunch <J thnfty hog'O and a dock <-.( laymg hen-, my federal loan had been paid off in [pat. and my burn had increased in fertility from cow manure and pasture crops. !n the summer of t()2,$, fiost theliest cowsi had. uicimiing my origina) cow. front anthrax. How ever, ! did not iose faith. Having iiadextierience in making ' team profitaldy. ! imnudiateiy set about rcpiacing those cows 1 had tost.

Resides raising an abundant snppiy of hay. f sow Cover crops in the faii for the cows to graze on during the winter, such as oats, rve, vetch and rape, which are turned under in the eariy spring, thereby improving the soii for eariy crops, Oats and vetch make exceiient hay for cutting eariy, and f.espedeza makes good sum mer and fa!! grazing, aiso being cine of the very t est hay ptants known in this country. Soy i<eans, cow peas and vcivet iieans make good hay if properiy itand )PO. per winter grazing. ! have found rye meets the requirements better than almost anything else; it rarely winter kills and when Lespedeza is sewn over the rye held in March, it furnishes excel lent pasturage till frost, then plowed under it greatly improves the soil for the next crop follow ing. I wish it^were possible to in spire more -people of our South land with the vision of diversified farm products, and what that would mean to them, but alas! I fear they were wedded to the one crop idea with little chance o^ divorcing them from cotton. Yet, even one cow. a hog and a few hens would add much to many a Southern family's health and hap piness could they but adopt the idea, and this supplemented by a garden would go a long way to ward solving hard problems of living conditions in the South Rut it seems to require a sudden jolt, in most instances, to turn many of us from old practices into The First Cost MAY BE A Little More * * ' ' But The Cost of Upkeep is a Whole Lot Lower.
