Sweet Clover as Cover Crop 
Has Sweet clover ever been used as 
a cover crop sown in corn at the last 
cultivation? F. H. P. 
New York. 
Yes, some experiments have been made 
in New Jersey. They were reported on 
page 104?,. The Sweet clover did fairly 
well under good conditions, but the crop 
will require considerable lime to do its 
best. Our own experience shows good 
results with rye and Alsike clover. 
Liming a Meadow 
I have just been reading an article in 
Tite It. N.-Y. about permanent meadows. 
I believe that kv applying a little lime 
each year meadows could be kept in 
grass indefinitely. I have about decided 
to sow one-half ton of hydrated lime per 
acre on all my meadow land, this Fall. 
Most of the meadows have quite a lot of 
clover in them, but some are pretty 
weedy. Do you think it would pay me 
to sow the lime this Fall, and what do 
you think of my theory? V. S. 
The theory is good. Many of our grass 
meadows are sour and the Timothy and 
Red clover will be killed out if lime is I 
not used. Ground limestone will be bet¬ 
ter than burned lime for the purpose. 
The Fall is a good time to use the lime. 
You must remember that lime alone will 
not keep up the fertility of the land. 
There must be at least as much plant i 
food supplied as is taken away in the ; 
hay each year. A good mixture of chem¬ 
icals should be used along with the lime. 
Rye as a Late Cover Crop 
I was going to sow rye as a cover 
crop this week. As it rained and we 
had a northwest wind it blew the corn 
down so I do not think I shall be able 
to work it again. This was to be my 
last working. If I should sow it when 
I cut. which will be the last of Septem¬ 
ber or thereabout, do you think it will 
do me any good as a land improver? 
Berlin, Md. d. e. m. 
We should certainly seed the rye after 
the corn is cut. There will be time to 
make a fair growth from such seeding. 
On our own farm in Northern New Jer¬ 
sey we have in years past seeded rye as 
late as the middle of November. It did 
not make a large growth above ground, 
but we found roots of good size, and in 
the Spring it came up and made a fair 
yield either for plowing under or for 
cutting as grain. By all means put in 
the rye even after the corn has been cut. j 
Huckleberries and Blue¬ 
berries 
A says there is no difference between j 
blueberries and huckleberries; B says I 
there is a difference. Will you decide the 
question? If it is not the same thing, is 
the difference in the plant, taste, or shape 
of the fruit? g. F. 
All huckleberries are not blueberries, 
but blueberries are often loosely de- ! 
scribed as huckleberries. Properly speak¬ 
ing. the name blueberry belongs to fruit of 
this class with a blue bloom, while the 
black-fruited sorts are called huckleber¬ 
ries, but outside of New England blue¬ 
berries are quite commonly called huckle¬ 
berries. The common black huckleberry 
is known to botanists as Gaylussacia resi- 
nosa, while the common swamp blueberry 
is Vaccinium corymbosum, and the dwarf 
early blueberry is V. Pennsylvanieum. 
“Standardized Plant Names” says that 
Gaylussacia is the huckleberry, while the 
blueberries or whortleberries are Vac¬ 
cinium. 
Blister Mite on Pears 
I have a Kieffer pear tree 10 years old. 
and I am sending you a sample of leaves 
from it. Can you tell me what is the 
trouble and what to spray with? j. f. 
The'leaves showed the characteristic 
small thickened brown dots produced by 
the blister mite. Upon closer examina¬ 
tion or with the aid of a magnifying glass 
it was possible to detect the openings 
made by the tiny creature. Blister mite 
is quite common this year, but fortunate¬ 
ly it is very easy to control. Spraying 
with lime-sulplnir, with miscible oils, or 
with homemade oil emulsions directed at 
the hibernating adults under 'bud scales, 
is sure to dispose of the pest, not only for 
the current year but for several years to 
come. Spraying may he done,, dormant 
strength, at any time between Fall and 
Spring, before the leaves begin to show.

Try one 
Kelly Commercial Cord 
on your car or truck 
So far as we know, there never 
has been built another pneumatic tire 
with the wearing qualities of the 
Kelly Commercial Cord. 
First developed to meet the need 
for a dependable truck tire, it gave 
such amazing service that people 
who were using it demanded it in 
passenger sizes, too. 
It is now made in sizes from 
30 x 3/2 to 40 x 8 and in every size 
you will find the extra strong side- 
walls, the tough,' massive tread and 
the reinforced shoulders that have 
placed the Commercial Cord in a 
class by itself. 
Whether your driving is done over 
good roads or bad, if you want a sturdy, 
rugged tire that will outwear any tire 
you have ever used, try one Kelly Com¬ 
mercial Cord on our recommendation.
