Mrs. Della B. leges of Forest City is visiting Mr. W W. Hawkins and Editor Ashcraft Praises Cleveland-Wants Farmers To Raise Japanese Kudzu Editor Eugene Ashcraft of the | Monroe Enquirer passed through j Shelby yesterday returning from a ' visit to Greenville, Tcnn., where hr went with 75 Union county farm ers to Inspect tlie huge milk con densing plant which is paying out to the farmers of that section *00 - 000 a week for U tter-fat and when told that Cleveland county this y-sr expects to make 60,000 bales of cot ton, he said, "I do not doubt if at all. Cleveland is a wonderful coun ty because it ha some wonderful1 people,” but our larmers are y/cw- j lng too much cotton, Before introducing the subject ol Kudzu, a Japan lie bean w hich grow; a luxuriant feed crop, Mr. h craft had a bit to say about ; hi; section of North Carolina ■>: dairy section. 'Of course there are many fine Wairy herds around Greenville, Tenn, where the nil'.'* condensing plant has been estab lished, but we would have paying dairy herds here if we would raise grasses and feeds. Those Tennessee farmers take care of their grass— that's why it pays so well. Wc could do the same and we will never lind that dairying pays until we crow feeds. An acre of grass is wtrt'i more than an acre of cotton.” The Japanese Kudzu has b"er known to grow 10 tons of feed per acre. It will easily keep several cows and it is much better than lespe deza or alfalfa. He has been in troducing it in Union county and has 25 acres just coming into use. Farmers travel 75 miles to see it under den\onstration. Speaking o’ LCudzu, Mr. Ashcraft says: ‘Kudzu is a Japanese legume, closely related to and having many [>f the characteristics of the velvet bean. Kudzu makes a most luxuri ant growth, and it is not unusual for the vines to grow- from 50 to 75 feet during the summer sea .on In fields K forms a thick mass, growing from thiee to Mve reet [amily this week Mr. Thamer Humphries and fam ily Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCraw spent last Saturday at Mr. Homer Humphries jf Gaffney, S. C. Mrs. Blairs Davie and Miss Inez Davis spent last Friday in Spartan- ■ aurg. S. C. Mr. Wayne B'anch Is badly poi soned with poison oak. Mr. Coleman Humphries of Dreenville spent last Sunday night p.lth Mr. Mark Jolley. high Never Tails To Produce Crop. “One of the peculiarities of tii. Kudzu plant'is its drought resisting ! qualities. When other crops > rr i ruined by dry weather, Kudzu vui ; remain green an! flourishing. K, of tlic plant grow deep, and »ne land is thoroughly covered b.v dense growth of vegetation, which prevents evaporation from the soil. Kudzu Enriches I.and. ‘‘Kudzu is remarkable In that it Js in a class by tlielf when it rentes toNeclaiming poor soils, filling guV lies, and at the same time produc ing line pasturage for cattle. It also is amazing in tire manner in vM"'h it will grow oi< "cut over" lands, literal'? covering bushes and t ees, affording grazing where none b fore existed. When plants are set !n deep gullies erosion ceases and with in a few years worthless lands are reclaimed ‘‘Then, too, Kudzu prefers hillv or well drained lands. Apparently it will grow well on almost any .oil, provided it is well drained. It vill not do well on swampy or marsh lands It will grow in sandy soils But seems to prefer clays. How To riant. Mr. Ashcraft 1 as experimented 'n numerous ways with growing Kud tu from seed during the past several vears and now has about 25 acres trowing. The most successful plan lias been to prepare the land to a! ?ood seed bed. Plant peas, cane or 'O.v beams. Then sow the Kudzu -eed afterward, dragging a brush over the ground, or a roller. If j Kudzu seed are planted even one tourth inch under ground, they'll never come up. Better still, if the seed could be sown lust before a shower, germination is assured. When young the Kudzu plants ire very delicate. Also a rabbit pre fers Kudzu to anything that grows , ,n the ground. Hence, peas or soy oeans afofrds the rodent something ,o eat and gives the Kudzu plants a thance. Do not get discouraged in grow- : ng Kudzu. It gets full growth about :he third year or* almost any kind )X thin, well-drained soil. However. 1 >n good soils a fine hay crop may Je had the first year. Do not plant seed until all danger >f frost Ls past. It may be planted any time dur ng the months of May and June, tnd at late as July. Cattle Thrive On Kudzu. Dairymen who have liad exper ience with Kudzu, say It Is per haps the only legume that can he pastured and leave no unpleasant tatnt to milk vr butter. Cows arc particularly fonu of Kudzu. etne: green or cured as hay. In I vet stock will rat Kudzu hay in p-?f ercnce to almost any other food Kudzu producer an exceptionally line hay. in Uiat there is no shed ding ol leaves, most easily 'ured and it does not pack or mildew when placed in the hay mow. Foundation Of Farming. Kudzu should be the very foun dation of successful live stock farm ing everywhere in the South. It l« the most productive and nutritious forage plant ever grown by man. It contains 4 per cent more protein than alfalfa and yields an average of live tons of splendid hay per acre, regularly, every year. Stock never bloats on Kudzu. and all kinds of stock eat It greedily, cither as pasture or hay, and thrive on it. It is a drouth resistant and is wonderful as a shade and ioil improving crop in orchards. Pecan trees can be raised to bearing *ge without any east at all, for .hey grow faster with Kudzu and no fertilizer or cultivation than they do when heavily fertilized and (ul tivated. Two or three crops of hav ran be cut every year or it, ran he pastured by two or. more cows per acre all sunimc \ Sunday School Rftlly At Cherryville, N. C.
