SUGGESTIONS FOR

Delaware College Experiment
Station Gives Information
on That Subject

It has been satisfactorily demon
strated that late summer is the best
time for sowing alfalfa. and the follow
ing suggestions regarding its culture
are given for the benefit Of those who
intend to sow this season in a bulletin
issued by the Delaware College Experi-
ment Station. Attention to a few i'm
portant details viii secure a good stand
Of alfalfa on the overage Delaware
soil
If possible. select a piece Of ground
which has been in a titled crop this
year. Land which has been in early
potatoes is admirably suited for this
purpose. and the more fertile the soil
the better. II titled ground is not
available. plow and thoroughly pre-
pare the ground for seeding a month
before time to SOW. Harrow after each
rain. This frees the land of weeds
and serves to retain moisture Cowpeas
also serve as an excellent preparatory
crop for alfalfa seeding.
About two weeks before seeding ap-
ply ground limestone at the rate CT
about one ton per acre. and work ii
thoroughly into the soil. Just pre-
vious to sowing apply 800 pounds per
acre of the following mixture. 400
pounds Of acid phosphate aid 100
pounds muriats Of potash. If well rot
ted stable manure is available. Il
should be plowed under and one-hali
of the above fertilizer mixture used,
Immediately before sowing inoculate
the field BY scattering broadcast zoe
pounds of soil taken from a well es.
tablished alfalfa field.
Sow the seed at once, at he rate OF
20 pounds per acre, and harrow il in
lightly. The ground should contain
plenty Of moisture near The surface al

Their stridont voices raise
To tear 70 shreds some eandidate

The fellows win be heard
Deciding the momentoua case
Who do not say a word.
Upon a corner OF the street
The talking ones hold sway.
The people listen for awhile.
Then make their getaway.
They might as well attempt TO prove
The moon is made Of cheese.
The voters listen TO the chan
And vote Just as they please
The orators are fun OF noise
And loaded 70 tho guards
With facts that prove the rich prevail
Because they stack the cards
The weary voter stands around
And listens more or less.
But when he comes to cast his vote
He takes another guess.
