FACTS FOR FARMERS

tell you any better than this, but I
don believe it is necessary to thus
give up the, use of the land. and I
think after you have found that you
can grow alfalfa you will follow the
plan of taking field, that has been
in the winter wheat or clover, plow
it Immediately, work it a month and
SOW it about the last of July.
If you have harvested the clover
hap crop you can give up the land
the last of the year to get the alfalfa
started. After the oats crop it is
getting too late; follow winter wheat
IS better, and following clover hay is
best of all. See that the soil is in
oculated so that you will have bac-
teria there to enable you to get nitro
gen from the air. The best method is
to use soil that has bacteria in it al
ready. You can get this from an old
field where alfalfa has been growing
several years, or you can get it from
an old patch of sweet clover.
Sof it in at the time you sow the
seed. When the soil for incubation
becomes somewhat dry it is easily
ecattered by hand from the wagon or
from a sack which one can carry.
Sometimes it is applied by means
Of an end-gate seeder or a fertilizer
drill. Don't scatter infected soil over
the land and let it lie for many hours
in the hot sun, for most of the bac-
terra will be killed. Use a wagon load
to the acre if you can get 1.-THE
more the better.
Alfalfa is almost always benefited
by moving Next to that is disking
If 1t does not do we'll NOW and disk
il. We want to get nitrogen into the
soil and consequently the soil must
be open and porous. That is one
reason why We disk alfalfa when it
gets year or so old, after every
cutting Disk it at first If the ground
is hard. Set the disk not to slanting,
so it won't cut the crowns off, and
don't set It so it will cut the roots
off. Disk it twice II it is all right.
You can set the disk pretty straight
the first time; thhe next time set it
at a sharper angle.
The two objects are to loosen up
the ground so the nitrogen will enter
and root out blue grass and foul weeds.
The disking won't kill the deep alfalfa
roots.-Fortworth Citizen-Star.

Please Audience.

Strickland Gillian, in the front
rank Of American humorists, and Con.
gresham w. II. Rainey of Illinois
were the chief entertainers on yester-
day afternoon and last nights chau-
tauqua program Gillian, who has
been heard in Ottumwa before and
can not come too often to please his
Ottumwa admirers, filled the big tent
with smiles and laughter. Congress
man Rainey delivered red hot poll
teal speech in which the republicans
came in for scoring and Speaker
Cannon was pictured with the cloven
hoof.
The Music Makers furnished the
prelude for the afternoon and even
lng's entertainment Their numbers
were heartily applauded and they had
to respond to several encores. Ahe
company is composed of four must,
clans who are not only singers but
artists on the string instruments and
their instrumental as we'll as vocal
numbers were pleasing.
Gillian PIeases.
Each laugh possessed a beautiful
thought and the laughs were almost
continual after Strickland Gillian IN
his awkward stride came out upon the
chautauqua stage yesterday after
neon, "just to have the audience ap.
pear before him." as he put it. Just
how that sea Of over thousand faces
appeared before him is hard to tell,
but how he appeared before the audi
ence will be food for pleasant recollec,
ton for long time to come. His
Augh-sermons, for they were each a
sermon, if one would but reflect upon
them, told people lot Of things for
their own good and pleased them
while being told. They pointed out a
lot Of faults and weaknesses, but any.
one appraised Of these shortcomings by
Gillian would willingly sit for hours
longer begging for more. The man
who became famous for his "Off agin,
on agin, gone agin, Finnigin," is per-
haps the most welcome platform en-
tertainer that comes to Ottumwa. and
his friends here swear by him. There

III the last congress that there was a
hesitation to th::t effect before the
r use. The III ter 1cra.s voted for
ra.isicn dowrwor", ont the thirty or
f'rty insurgents congressman voted
with the regulars to let the tariff bill
alone. One insurgent republican cast
a dissenting vote. When, the time
came for the enlargement of the com.
mittees on rules the insurgents
again had chance to do some
thing but failed. The commit.
fce Was enlarg.J en-! the insurgents
were asked to name two members
which they refused to do, allowing the
work to remain with the regular re.
publicans. There are no leaders
among the insurgents. Each in.
surgent, leads himself and believes
that he is leading others. The insur.
gent fight in the house Of representa-.
only thing they did was to knock out
the paragraph Of the sundry civil bill
which instead of compelling the gov.
eminent to furnish supplies to Speaker
Cannon for his automobile, also
furnished by the government, com.
PEELED Cannon to buy his own gasoline
which costs about $50 year. This
was the only insurgent victory in the
last session Of congress-"
Member Ananias Club.
Congressman Rainey stated that ne
had been made member OF the Anan.
las club by President Roosevelt and
that he was the first MEMBER, OF Presi
dent Taft's club Of undesirables. He
told how he first came into disfavor
with the government head over the
Panama forest matter. He declared
that he would fight to the last ditch
the absorbing Of this valuable tract OF
timber, the only thing of any value
in the canal zone. He served notice
last night on William Nelson Cromwell
and other New York capitalists tina. he
would do all in his power to prevent
their purchasing the forest tract. Con.
gresham Rainey declared that he had
decided to go over the country, speak

people the country how the govern.
ment was run at washington. He de.
clared that they could not find this out

SINGERS Score Hit.


There may be just as good singers
in chautauqua courses as the Music
Makers quartet, but anyone hearing
this bunch of entertainers yesterday
afternoon is.fully convinced that there
are no better musical entertainers, for
the quartet scored hit that was so
apparent as to recall them to the stage
after the echoes of the last previous
selection had died away. Most of the
vocal numbers were Of a humorous
type and the singing of that at this
time, most appropriate number is it
hot enough for you" made distinct
hit, Their rendition of the Intermezzo
from Rusticani, in which the violin,
cello and piano were used, was suf-
ficiently pleasing to call for an encore.
No other performers have scored a
more distinct hit with the audience
during the entire course thus far than
did these four young men, and after
concluding their concert they were
forced to respond to the repeated
calls of the audience and sung lul-
laby, written by Gillian which was a
fitting close to their program.
Lauds Iowa Land and People
In opening his lecture Congressman
Rainey lauded iowa with her fertile
farms and enterprising people. He
declared that he believed God had
picked up a handful of the richest
soil, had thrown it down and said
there is Iowa" OF course, he said
some Of this splashed over into ILL
nois and until recently, hitting at the
graft investigation, had made it a
fairly good state. The congressman
stated that at present the people of
Illinois are planning on enlarging their
penitentaries to accommodate promi-
nent citizens who ought to be there.
1.-The country is now entering upon a
new decade declared the speaker,
"and the, countries of the world must
steer themselves through strange
channels without the services of a
pilot"
Turning to national politics he
asked the audience IL the people ruled
and supplied the answer with on en-
phatic no" He said, the people gave
to the speaker of the house and the
president all power vested in the peo-
pie Of the United States. Referring
to Speaker Cannon, as the GEAR" he
declared that only certain congressman
get recognition and that the country is
controlled by few men representing
the interests" He said that there
was nothing like war against the
speaker in Washington.
Criticises the Insurgents.
Growing up in the middle west, Con-
gresham Rainey declared, there is a
class Of Statesmen termed progress
sive republicans who declare violently
that they would dethrone the speaker
Of the house, revise the rules of the
house of representatives and revise
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill down
ward. He then pointed out how the
insurgent republicans had failed to. do
their part. when Speaker Cannon
called vote n the house last whit or"
