CLOVER VALUABLE AS AJERTILIZER Universafly Considered Great Soil Improver, Says ' Conner.

News Briefs From Surrounding Towns 1 BOY'S NECK BROKEN

DON'T SELL THE CROP

Purdue Man Advises That Clover Hay Be Fed to Animals.

"Red clover," says Mr. S. D. Conner, of the Soils and Crops department, Purdue Experiment Station, "is universally considered a great soil improver, yet, there are a great many erroneous ideas as to just how the improvement la produced. It is very well understood that the roots of the clover plant when it is growing properly, contain nodules which are the home of a kind of bacteria that are able to extract nitrogen from the air and fix it so the plant can get it. Because the bacteria live in the nodules on the roots does not mean that the roots contain the bulk of the nitrogen which has been gathered. In fact, the nitrogen is used by the growing plant as rapidly as it is fixed arid the mature crop of red clover has its nitrogen distributed in about the proportion of one-third in the roots and stubble and two-thirds in the tops. The minerals and total organic matter of the crop are.also divided in about the same proportion. Hence it will be seen that if a farmer plows under only the roots and stubble of the clover crop, he is getting only a fraction of the fertility of the crop. Some good authorities even go so far as to state that he is not adding any nitrogen to the soil and of course he is depleting it of mineral plant food. This statement is doubtless true in some cases and is explained when we understand that the clover gets all of its minerals and at least a part of its nitrogen from the soil. It is difficult to tell just what proportion of the nitrogen of the clover is taken from the soil, but there is no doubt that in some cases it may be more than one-third. This depends upon the condition of the soil and the degree of inoculation. Condition of Soil. Clover does better and extracts a greater percent of its nitrogen from the air when it is well supplied with mineral plant foods, lime and organic matter. Good physical condition of the soil is also very necessary, as ideal moisture conditions and proper earatlon can be obtained only with good soil texture. It should not be forgotten that the bulk of the value of a crop of clover is In the hay. This is a fact that is not generally known. One ton of clover hay contains approximately forty forty pounds of nitrogen, eleven pounds of potash. Its fertilized value is at least $8.00 per ton. In this day when many are finding it profitable to purchase commercial fertilizers, the man who sells his clover hay at a few dollars a ton Is very foolish. Contains Plant Food. If the clover hay can be fed to animals so much the better, but under no ordinary condition should the clover hay be sold off the farm. If it cannot be fed to stock it should be clipped and left to enrich the soil. The first crop of clover contains the bulk of the plant food. The second crop does not contain nearly as great a tonnage, and being cut for seed the chaff is generally returned to the soil, the seed only being sold. As clover seed has a plant food value of about thirty-five cents a bushel, one need have no hesitancy in selling it, as the price is high enough to justify such practice. Allow Crop to Stand. Another point in connection with the use of clover as a soil improver is that the crop should be allowed to stand until a good growth has been

made. Soil improvement is a slow process under any conditions and unless the crop of clover has time to

Marshall and William Jennings Bryan, together with tbose of other great and near-great men. The squares of cloth were sent to the men asking for their autographs and a dime.

make a growth, no great benefit to the soil need be expected. The practice of plowing under the young clover before it has made its crop will hardly benefit the soil more than the cost of the seed and probably not one-tenth as much as would be the case if the full grown crop were turned under. Of course it is hardly necessary to add that clover chaff or stubble should not be burned as ail of the nitrogen and organic matter is thus lost and it is the nitrogen and organic matter supplied by the clover that makes it a soil improver."

Personal Cleanliness

',

The daily bathing habit is more than a desire to appear clean and bright. It is a positive necessity for complete health. The pores of the skin are nature's breath ducts and to clog them up is to invite ill health. The happiest men and women and children on earth are those who are perfectly clean, and perfect cleanliness comes from the use, in the bath, of Jap Rose, the bubble bath soap. The delicate odor of this delightful toilet requisite gives one that sense of perfect cleanliness; free from the odors of perspiration. Sold at 10c by almost every good merchant in this country.
