Saturday a Busy Day.

Last Saturday, the streets
were crowded with farmers
teams. bringing their owners and
families to town to trade, and the
merchants were busy early and
late. As an old resident stated,
it reminded him Of olden times
when all Of the supplies were
hauled from Canyon for hun
dreds Of miles. 1t is a noticeable
fact that Canyon is considered a
good trading point; the mer-
chants are all good Obliging
Christian gentlemen, and when
you can find business so con-
stituted, you will find a good
class To trade with. 1t is a bust
ness that will win out in the
long run. The farmers should,
to a man, congratulate themSel-
YES that they have such a class
of business men to deal with.

A Kentucky farmer who has reported
his experience recently speaks favora-
bly, of the wild sweet clover as farm
crop. the variety so often seen growing
in unlikely places along roadsides. rail
road cuts or in abandoned stone quar-
ries or gravel pits. He finds 1t an ex
cellent renovator for wornout soils and
for subduing rough places on his farm
which have been pre-empted by weeds
and briers He harrows the land In
the spring so as to give a good seed
bed and sows from fifteen to twenty
pounds of seed per acre with half
bushel of oats. To produce seed he
sows fifteen pounds per acre on fertile
land. For fall seeding he prepares thu
land and sows In October. 70 he used
for hay he finds that sweet clover
should be cut when the first blossoms
appear. before the stalks become
woody. He also reports that the sweet
clover is an excellent crop with which
to precede alfalfa. as it keeps the land
free from weeds and inocuates the
soil with the bacterial life necessary
for the best development Of the alfalfa
plant
