worth from $40 to SIS d ton.
Mr.. Rau has surmounted all diff
culties and has solved the problem Of
raising this crop. The essentials are:
First, to have the land inoculated
nitrogen, producing bacterial;
third TO have good drainage, and
third to treat the land with liberal
applications Of lime. Alfalfa will kill
the weeds and stand for several years
on the same field and at the end
leave it clean and about as rich as It
is possible to make it.

to enable the director of the census
to exercise intelligently his power of

to the qualifications of those who
have passed, and make their designa

supervisors will issue the commissions
to the enumerators.
Director Durand expects to have the
army of $1,000 or more enumerators
picked, tested, designated and commits
stoned by the middle or latter part OF
March From then on until April II
the supervisors will send the enumera
tors circulars and books Of instruc
