PRAISE JAP CLOVER
There is great interest manifested
in a new forage crop which is being
used for the first time in the vicinity
of Springfield, Mo. It is known as
Lespedeza or Japanese clover, and is
grown on land without lime.
Except on alluvial bottom lands, it
does not make sufficient growth to
justify its being cut for hay. neverthe-
iess -its widespread adaptation tc~
grazing conditions gives it a value
that is difficult to estimate. It will
grow in open woodlands, on the poor-
est upland hius, along roadsides and
in other waste places. It produces
sufficient seed, even under close graz-
ing to reseed itself, aild therefore is
as useful as if it were a perennial.
It is relished by a11 classes of live-
stock. It is believed that Col. J. B.
McGehee of Laurel Hill. La.. probably
was the first man in this country to
grow Lespedeza on an extensive scale.
and his efforts greatly stimulated cul-
tivation.

It has been grown in the South for
some time, but it is new to the lands
of Nissouri. Only recently, a group
of southern farmers made a trip from
Tennessee to Springfield, Mo., for the
sole purpose of advertising the
growth of this Japanese clover, and
the flrst seed to be planted in and
around Springfield came from Ten-
nessee.
It grows to a height of two to two
and a half feet and resembles the
three-leaf clover, except that it grows
in bush shape, with the green leaves
shooting out from all branches abun-

The new clover is being aavertised
throagh the agricultural departmen!
of Frisco Lines and representatives of
that department met the delegatinr
from Tennessee and told them of the
interest of Missourians, and of the
efPorts of Frisco Lines to promote tbr
production of this clover.
