Seeding to Grasses and Clovers.
EXPERIMENT STATION, UNIVERSITY OF
IDAHO. ii. T. FRENCH, AGRIcuL'
TURIST.

Much interest is being manifested in
the possibility of growing grasses and
cloyers in the section about Moscow and
other portions of Northern Idaho. This
matter is of special interest at this time,
for many new settlers are coming into
this State from other States where these
crops constitute very important part Of
farm production.
While our experience extends over
only one season, we thought it might be
of interest and profit to some to know
what is being done on the Experiment
Station farm in this direction. We have
undertaken to establish seeding Of clo-
vers and grasses on portion OF the farm,
and herewith give brief account OF
the results of our work during the past
| season.
Last April we plowed up ten acres of
land on which wheat was grown the year
before, and fitted it for the grass seed by
narrowing twice with hne-toothed,
smoothing harrow. We then sowed broad
cast the following mixture, covering six
acres, leaving the balance until later on
account of the ground being in lower
portion of the field and too wet to work

age there. AT the Farmers warehouse
the main building suffered no damage,
but the additions were swept into the
stream, carrying the wheat stored In
them.
The Lewiston N. p. Office reports the
loss of three bridges between Potlatch
and Juliaetta. The bridge on the Orc.

This makes I6 pounds to the acre. The
balance Of the field was sown to the same
combination, at the same rate per acre,
except s pounds Of alfalfa seed was added
to the mixture in place of the Alsike
clover and timothy seed.
No nurse crop was sown with the grass
mixture, and here is where many farm
ers make a mistake by sowing wheat,
oats or barley with the grass or clover
II is the experience OF the best farmers
now that il is not wise to SOW a crop of
grain with the seeding. The more rap
idly growing grain crop takes the mois-
ture away from the tender grass and clo-
! yer plants, ami when the grain is cut the
hot sun burns these plants up. The wild
oat, which is so abuu 'ant in the soil in
this locality, is quite enough OF a nurse
crop, and some attention should be given
to cutting this out Of the way when il
reaches the proper stage. We cut two
| crops of wild oats from our field. The
first crop made a fair yield of hay. Ia

p INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20-A Lake Erie
and Western switch engine struck q
FBrightwood electric car at Thirteenth
street. There were 81 passengers in the
car at the time and of this number Is
were injured, 3 Of them perhaps fatally.
The engine struck the front end Of the
Car, reducing it to kindling wood and
carrying it for fully 20 feet, finally
throwing it against freight car stand
ing on sidetrack. One whole side
was torn off and the car was turned,
completely around. The passengers,
many of whom were in the demolished
end of the car, were pinioned down by
the broken and twisted timbers. The
doors could not be opened and the
less injured people in their mad
rush to escape trampled over those
unable to help themselves. To add to
the confusion the steam from the en-
CINE enveloped the wrecked car and it
was with great difficulty that the occu-
pants could be rescued. The screams
of the occupants of the car and the
shock awakened people living within
two squares Of the scene.
When the crossing was reached the
car conductor went ahead to see that
the crossing was clear, as usual. A
Monon switch engine was blowing off
on the sidetrack, drowning the noise Of
the approaching Lake Erie engine. He
was not able to see the latter until too
late. He yelled to the motorman and
three or four on the rear platform
jumped in safety.
