THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE,
The Position of That Body In Refer
ence to Certain AccusatiOns.

The .Anti-Saloon League Of the District
of Columbia is taking a strong interest in
the matter of the investigation of certain
policemen for alleged failure to enforce
the ordinances against Illicit liquor selling
The league may not take part in the fight
as an organization, but the probabilities
indicate that it will do SO. 1t is said that
considerable detective work has been and
is being done by the members of the league
but they are acting personally.
The league is aware that liquor is being
illegally dispensed in certain resorts. but
1t is lot engaging just now i'm any direct
warfare against these places. a number of
communications have been received in
which charges are made that In certain
sections of the city the law against selling
liquor after hours, On Sunday and TO
minors is dead letter The league may
decide to investigate the reliability of these
accusations, and, ii found worthy, may
then bring the facts officially before the
District Commissioners. Just now though
the league is making fight against all
SAILORS, as well as those operating under
licaise, as those, which IL is Charged are
running without one.
Mr.. James l.. Ewin, vice president of the
league told the reporter this afternoon
that they felt safe in relying upon the au-
thorities to rectity these wrongs IL they ex-
listed. He felt that as soon as the Commits
sioners learned that houses were dispensing
liquors IN VOCATION OF law, they would act
properly and promptly. Even if they did
not do this on moral grounds. they would
for purposes OF revenue. He was willing
to leave tina: part of the matter to the
Commissioners. So far as he knew, no de-
tective work was being done by the league
but probably some members of il were
working along this line, with a view to Sc
curing evidence.
A mass meeting Of the league will be held
tomorrow afternoon at Wesley Chapel A
circular has been sent to each NJ the Stun
ers of liquor license applications asking
for the reasons for asserting, and inclosing
petition against license. large num-
Der OF answers to these will be read

was an agent for brewers and distillers, and
the court, on the facts in the case found

How to Sow Alfalfa,

AOW w DVW 2A4@b&
It 10 generally considered best to sow
alfalfa on fall plowing. IL no land which
it is desired to seed was fall plowed, how
ever, early spring blowing may be made
to do nearly as well. Plow the ground
deep-yOu can't plow too deep-as soon
as it is dry enough to work, end harrow
it we'll. The narrowing should be re-
peated every few days until seeding time,
both to keep down all weed growth and
10 reduce the surface soil to the finest
possible tilth.
Alfalfa seed should not be sown very
early. It is well enough to SOW red clover
while there is yet frost in the ground,
and before spring is more than apromise,
but alfalfa seeding should be deferred
until warmer weather. Nothing is gained
by sowing earlier than the middle Of
April, and there il seldom loss through
waiting until May. Light frosts do not
kill the young plants, but they 30 retard
their growth that later sown plants often
make the best showing by June |.
Liberality in the use of seed is sdvis-
able. 1t is very difficult to re-seed thin
patches, and the best plan is to guard
against having those thin patches by
heavy seeding. The rule is to SOW twenty
pounds Of seed per acre, but this will
bear some modification. On bottom
land, il the soil is in good condition, and
you intend to roll we'll after seeding, fit-
teen pounds per acre will be ample to
produce thick stand. If the soil is not
in the best condition for the germstion
Of the seed, proportionately more will be
required. On upland, twenty pounds Of
seed per acre is the minimum amount to
be recon mended, and If the ground is
not in good condition it will be economy
to SOW twenty five pounds.
Some alfalfa growers still follow the
practice of seeding with a nurse crop,
but there is little in favor OF this method
and much against it. The removal Of
the nurse crop is always at time when
heat and dry weather are very hard on
the unprotected young alfalfa plants. II
any nurse crop is Bown i5 should be har-
vested with o header, SO that there may
remain q considerable length of Stubble
to serve as protection for the alfalfa.
The seed may be sown either broad
cast or with q drill, but which ever
method is selected, care should be taken
that the seed 10 we'll covered. Common
grass seed needs but the slightest cover
ing, but alfalfa, like all leguminous
plants, does better with moderately deep
seeding. An inch ia none 10 deep. After
seeding, the ground should be run over
with roller, to pack the earth firmly
about the seed and insure its early ger
