Alfalfa supplies the dairymen and

money annually expended for high

forage plant combines the materials
for a profitable ration for dairy COWS,

alfalfa.
The success or failure with alfalfa
depends largely upon the seed. Be

Alfalfa will grow on wide yaria-
don of soil ranging from rich sandy

to be best. II Is practically useless

not his land contains the proper bac-

his fields by scattering on them soil
from an old alfalfa field or where

suits, two tons of earth per acre
should be scattered Immediately pre-
ceding the sowing Of the alfalfa seed.
For farmers who have not alfalfa
or sweet clover near at hand from

amounts, we advise the securing OF

WILL PROTECT DEPOSIT0Rs
Banking Bill Providing for More Free
quent Examinations Reported for
Passage in the Assembly.

Madison.-The last of the PROPOSE
tons recommended by the special
committee on banking of the last
Legislature, has been reported for
passage in the assembly by the COM
mittee on finance. For many years
the bankers of the state have adyo-
Gated more frequent examinations of
banks on the part of the state bank
ing department and the bill recon-
mended comes as a result of the prop
osition made by the bankers to pay
the additional cost imposed by such
an increase of examiners as will as
complish this result. 1t has always
been the policy of the state to re-
quire the banks examined to contrib
ute TO the expense of the department.
and under the present law the banks
pay annually in fees about 81 900 for
this purpose. Under the bill report
ed for passage the banks will increase
their contribution to this amount,
paying in fact more than $21 900 an
nually with the understanding that
there will be two examinations per
year instead of one as now provided
The bill also increases the number of
bank examiners from three to seven
At the last session of the Wiscon-
sin Bankers association a resolution
was passed advocating the adoption OF
this policy on the part of the legis-
lature.
