immense ferment throughout the
Mussulman world and of the re-
sentiment it has aroused. thus far
he writes forcibly but in re-
restrained language. He calls at
tention TO the fact that mass meet
ings have been held in British In
dia. South Africa and elsewhere to
protest against the Italian action
and that the knowledge of these
meetings and their purport is rapid
ly spreading throughout the Mussul-
mans.
1t is plain to be seen that no
Mussulman mind, jealous of en-
croachment the attitude of Italy
indeed of Europe-toward Turkey
partakes of something in the nature
OF religious persecution. Ameer Ali
speaks of the report that the pope
had sent blessed rosary to be hung
on the Italian admirals flagship
as the harbinger of victory over the
oi"s' anu he Calls attention 10 the
rae that the apostle delegate in his
message to his holiness speaks Of the
raising of the cross of Christendom
In Tripoli. AS Ameer Ali says:
Now / venture to ask all those
to whom the interests of the Brit
ish empire are sacred beyond tenn
porary opportunism on the demands
of expediency, what is the prospect
which these facts open up? England
mas unquestionably the greatest
stake in the maintenance of peace in
the Eastern world. She has in her
charge the welfare and progress of
100000 people, of whom fully
one-fourth are Mussulmans."
How sensitive the Mussulman state
or mind Is to the external condi-
tions; how quick it is to take Of
tense; how keen to see .opportuni-
ties was amply evidenced after the
fusso-Japanese war. The history of
the world shows us that there is
nothing so potent to unite widely
diversified forces as religious
railing cry. and it is quite GER
tain that Great Britain can not af-
ford for the belief to spread
abroad among her MussuIman popu-
lation that the Turks are to be
beaten or driven abroad on religious
grounds.

A Mussulman Appeal.

Ii is limited in diplomatic circles
that Italy would never have dared
to take the stand she did i'm regard
to Tripoli end Turkey # she had
not had an understanding with Great
Britain. While England may have
thought that by having the Turks
driven out of Northern Africa she
was serving her own interests in
Egypt, she could hardly have taken
into account what effect such a
struggle was to have upon the
enormous Mussulman population
widely scattered, and yet inherently
united under her flag.
The far-reaching danger of weak
ness to her empire has been admir-
ably set forth by Ameer Ali. a dis

into compact seed bed such as is es-
sential for the best results with clover
and grass seed. In addition, the grain
stubble worked into the top soil by
disking seems to form a top mulch es-
pecially beneficial TO clover.
This method Of seeding clover is be-
coming quite general in some Of the
middle eastern states where farmers
over large sections are giving up the
practice Of spring seeding with grain
because of frequent failure to catch
and seeding alone after the grain is
cut instead. BY this method clover and
grass seed may be sown in the central
and western states as late as Sept. is,
and still make a good stand that will
not winter kill. but in the extreme
northern states the seeding should not
be made later than Aug. is.
To summarize, grass seedlings In
spring grain have been burned out on
thousands of farms. Replant now by
disking the stubble about three inches
deep and sowing clover and grass seed
alone without nurse crop by Aug. 10.

HOPE TO LAND
FIRST IN CLASS
HEAD or NORTH DAKOTA RIFLE
TEAM SAYS THAT THE TEAM
MAY LAND FIRST PLACE IN IT'S
DtvisIoN--ls NOW AT HEAD
or THE LIST.

THE North Dakota National guard
rifle team win make a strong bid for
the first prize in Glass g." said Capt.
e. G. Gearey, jr., inspector OF small
arms and the head of the rifle team of
the N. ID. N c., this morning on his
return from Devils Lake.
The f1ickertail team now holds the
first place among the teams from the
states that have but one regiment to
draw on for the personnel OF the shoot
ers. This fact has encouraged Captain
Gearey and he feels reasonably safe
in saying that the boys from this state
viii land at the head of its division.
The team has just completed four
days practice at Devils Lake on the
range, following the state encampment
Of the guards.
Captain Gearey feels very much en-
couraged over the results OF the work
out of the men at Devils Lake.
The reason for the team holding its
weeks practice at Camp Douglas I'm
Wisconsin this year instead of at the
Devils Lake grounds is that the cost
will be a great deal smaller If II is
held In Wisconsin. Furthermore the
men viii have the advantage Of COM
peting against the badger shooters as
well as doing their own rifle work. In
addition to this there will be twelve
targets at Camp Douglas at the dis
posal Of the North Dakota boys against
four at the state shooting grounds.
There are two men on the state
rife team from Fargo. Lieutenant Col
lar and Corporal Berg. In addition to
this Captain Gearey OF this city will
go with the team as director and
coach.

CLOVER
FOR HAY CROP
DISK sTuRBLE LAND NOW AND
REPLANT SAYS UNCLE SAM an
A RECENT BULLETIN URGING
THE FARMERS TO TAKE ACTION
ON THIS MATTER.

Washington, July 21.-The clover
and grass seed sown this spring in
wheat rye, and other grain has been
parched up and killed, either wholly
or in part on thousands of fields IN the
central western and northern states.
This Is serious situation and calls for
prompt attention. IL the clover Ii not
replanted It means no clover hay next
season and the planting of some sub
stttute crop for hay next spring at con-
siderable increased expense will prob
ably be necessary. Not only that, but
the failure of the clover crop means
the loss Of the green manuring crop
In the rotation and the disarrangement
or the whole farm plan of crop rota-
ton. The situation should be met at
once. Every piece of new seeding should
be examined and, IL it has been burned
up. steps taken to replant 1t at once,
says the u. s. department of agricul-
ture in a recent bulletin.
One Of the best ways known to get a
stand Of clover Is to disk the stubble
field as soon as the grain Is off, allow
Ing the disk to run about three inches
IVY sLAA0 WHINING the SkApptS into the
soil The disking and cross disking
should be sufficient to clean II of weeds
and grass and put the top three inches
OF soil in fine filth. Keep the ground
cultivated until the first soaking rain,
then sow about ten pounds of clover
seed mixed with six to eight pounds Of
timothy per acre and harrow the seed
In. A still better way than narrowing
is to sow the grass seed with a grain
drill, letting the seed run down the
grain tubes from the grass seed box
and covering the seed from one to one
and one-half inches deep.
BY sowing clover and grass seed
alone in this manner. without a nurse
crop. it makes much more rapid and
vigorous growth than when sown with
grain. BY disking the land also. a
much better seed bed is made than
could be obtained by blowing. since
when the ground Is plowed in dry
weather II breaks up lumpy and lies up
loose and is very difficult to work down
