To C. L. G., Temple, Miss.—The plant is,
as we suspected, trifolium r- llexum, or
Buffalo clover. Many years ago we found
it growing on our farm in southwest Geor
gia and made some effort to propagate it,
but without satisfactory success. M e have
never seen it except in scattered, creeping
bunches. The potash in cotton seed hulls
is fully allowed for in the estimate. Hulls
contain but little more than 1 per cent—
-I,oß—of potash, or 20.60 pounds in one ton
of hulls. The rest of hulls is very rich in
potash, but one ton of hulls yields only
fifty-two pounds of ash. No allowance was
made for humus, as it has no commercial
value.
J. G. S., Waterville, Ga. —1. Does wheat
and oats make cheat?
2 Will whippoorwill bunch peas and sor
ghum sown together make good' hay? 11
so, about what proportion ot peas and seed
ought to be sown and how much to the acre.
1. No; cheat, or chess, is just as distinct
from wheat or oats as corn is from sor
ghum.
2. Yes. Sow one bushel of peas and one
quart of sorghum per acre. The main use
of the sorghum is to hold up the pea vines,
but it is generally sown with some running
tariety of peas. Sow the early amber sor
ghum.
