CRIMSON CLOVER
Charles Barker Tells Of the
Experiments Of Professor
Penny
GOOD TO GROW
ON CORN LAND

At the Milford Grange Charles
Barker took up the topic. Crimson
Glover" While it has been grown for
years it is comparatively recent that
farmers have realized Its full value to
the soil
Prof. Penny carried on some very in
teresting experiments the vast year
with clover grown on one Of Mr.. Bar
lxer's farms. Several plots We're se-
lected and Prof Penny found from
samples taken IN January that "the
best clover was worth nearly 100
pounds OF nitrogen PEI acre, equivalen.
to 700 pounds Of nitrate of soda" The
medium grade was worth about SO
pounds Of nitrogen per acre, equiva-
i lent 10 AL pounds Of nitrate Of Soda"
The next test was April 18th when
"the average of seven plots was PA
pounds of nitrogen per acre equivalent
to 149S pounds of nitrate of soda"
These plots so far as could be Judged
by the eve were no better than a large
part Of the field.
The last test was made May 21st,
when the clover was just at fun bloom.
"The nitrogen was 25O pounds per acre
equivalent to 1850 pounds Of nitrate Of
soda" Prof. Penny concluded by
comparing this $50 pounds May 2lst
with the 214 pounds April nth. and it
appears that about Sc DER cent Of the
nitrogen was grown on the early date
viz. FIVE weeks before bloom If the
clover had been turned under April
18th the loss in nitrogen would have
been very little"
Value as Fertilizer.
These figures Of Prof. Penny's show
the wonderful value Of the crop as a
) fertilizer. Take the tops for hay and
still the value IS very great There Is
| considerable difference Of opinion as to
the best time to sow the seed. It is
usually planted in tomato and corn
lond. Mr. Baker would replant. Of

necessary to have a cover crop. A

VAGRANCY CHARGE
AGAINST PALMER

Thomas Palmer who was released
from the county Jail December 8, after
having been held under the name of
James McAllister on the charge Of pet
ty larceny, was arrested this morning
at o'clock by Patrolman Thomas
Doyle, and is in the city Jail awaiting
trial on the vagrancy charge. Palmer
was arrested fair week. charged with
having been implicated in the sale Of a
saddle belonging to another person,
but at the trial in justice court it
was found that he was not the man
wanted, and his release from custody
followed. Since his release from the
county Jail, Palmer is said to have
failed to make the best of his oppor-
tunities, and it is probable that he
will be given ''tie pass" to other
fields.

BABES IN TOYLAND
A PRETTY PLAY

One of the preftiest musical plays
that has visited Walla Whlla this win
ter was Babes in Toyland" at the
Keylor Grand last night. OF course it
lad no plot, but the characters were
always well sustained and the chorus
was above the, average, both in looks
and voice. The stage settings were
elaborate and the floral palace Of the
moth queen, closing the first act, was a
dream of beauty. The company was
not as large as some seen here this
winter, but it was good one through
out, we'll trained and capable at all
times.
Eddie Redway as "Alan," in the lead
ing role, was quite clever. He has been
here before and will always be well
come. Beth Tate as Contrary Mary"
was pretty, dainty, and clever. She
has a wonderfully sweet voice and to
say that she made the hit Of the even
ing is not putting it at all too strong
ly. Nellie Lynch, whom theater goers
here know, took the parting of Jane
and did it well. AS tom Tom" Helen
Mcleod. another of last years favor
ties, was winning. Gus Pixley in dual
role was a mirth EXETER of some class.
In fact the, whole company was good
and each could be we'll singled out for
word of praise
Perhaps the song hit of the evening
was II can't do the sum" by Jane
and a chorus. "Toyland' by atom
Tom" and a chorus was also a pretty
air and took we'll Barney O'Flynn,"
