what time to plant it, what

and whether it is necessary to
have shade in the pasture.

Answer by editor; Redtop is
best adapted to low moist, or
wet soils. While 1t does best
on rich moist soil, it will grow
fairly we'll on dry clay, though
not on dry sand. 1t endures
continued overhows. It team even
stand to be covered with water
two or three weeks. 1t gives a
moderate yield OF hay of fair
quality; but makes little sho.
the first season after seeding
and becomes stronger and more
dense with age. 1t makes fair
growth through ordinary winter
weather and very rapid growth
in spring. Sow 2 or ten pounds Of
seed per acre in September or
October. Redtop is not a clo-
vcr. II red clover is the plant
in mind. that is an entirely diff.
terens matter. kcdtop does not
need shade and gives very fair
hog pasture.

NEWS EMBARGO LIFTED
And Story Of Ruin and DesoIation Is
Reaching the World.

St. Petersburg, June 1S.-The en-
barge on news from Bialystok was lift
ed today and The Associated Presss
staff correspondent was for the first
time allowed TO telegraph directly from
the sacked city a picture of the scene
of ruin and desolation left in the wake
of the mob. According to frequent
bulletins order was restored and MAIN
tanned throughout the day in spite of
the incentive to disorder in funerals
which were in progress almost all day
long. but the atmosphere is super

fighting. The authorities apparently
realize this and hope TO avert such a
catastrophe by strong show of force
On one occasion the whole garrison
was called out on some alarms and
the streets were literally packed with
horses. foot and artillery until the dan
ger was passed.
The story told The Associated Press
correspondent is sickening one and
there are indications that he has been
prevented by the censorship from re-
lating some more CHASTITY details about
the condition of cOrpses, the utter
bestiality of the mob and the inability
of the troops to cope with the excuses
during the first days of the rioting. 1t
