Successful Stand of Alfalfa.

Mr.. A. G. McCarn of section eighteen,
Trowbridge, brought to Allegan last
Saturday samples of alfalfa from a field
of two acres which he sewed on the 22d
of June. They were fifteen inches long
with roots five and one-half inches in
length. They grew upon sandy soil,
land which was originally covered with
pine and hardwoods mixed. It was
plowed first the middle OF April and
worked each week twice alternately
with disc and spike tooth harrows until
time of sowing. About twelve loads
per acre of barnyard manure were used,
one-half at first blowing and the rest
worked in with the harrows later. No
other fertilizer or preparation was Civ
en-. The seed was northern grown and
there was no incubation. Twenty
pounds of seed per acre were used, and
the stand is perfect, but II anything a
little too thick, and it will average ten
inches in hight.
This is gratifying news Of the sgri.
cultural sort, for there has been much
difficulty in getting alfalfa started in
Michigan, and predictions have been
plentiful that the plant can never be
grown in this state. Lately experiments
have indicated the contrary. Mr.. F. II.
Williams Of Allegan has very promis
ing field of alfalfa which has been cut
this season, about which there will be
something very interesting little later,
and there is q small field near this city
which has been cut regularly the past
fourteen years.
Many soils are untitled for this plant
because they have too much acid in
them. To overcome this, cheap grade
of lime is applied, which not only cor.
reefs this bad condition but seems to
have good effect upon the alfalfa in
other ways. 1t Is highly probable that
with the aid of lime alfalfa can be
grown as well in this region as any.
where; and II this shall prove to be the
case its value to farmers can hardly be
estimated. 1t is the best fodder plant
known in America today. Its general
use will magnify the dairy interest of
Allegan county many fold.

The Wool Bill Veto.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The "politics," the jockying, the riv.
airy, the jealousy that have been dis
spiayed in connection with the latest Of
3the tariff bills, the cotton bill and its
@irfelevant, preposterous amendments
Dior buncombe only, have surely opened
Z the eyes and minds of hundreds OF
= thousands of voters. There will be nc
z ekcitement and no storm of protest; the
country will remain calm and sober
and the Presidents arguments in the
veto message will be properly appre
i cieted.
- 'Fhe position he takes is absolutely
consistent candid and progressive. He
! refuses to violate his pledges. eat his
words and stultify himself, the tariff
board and the sincere believers in scien-
tific tariff making. He vetoes a COM
promise or patchwork bill because he
doss not know, and cannot know, what
Its results will be. He cannot apply the
wprescribed "test" and does not see the
slightest justification Of another step in
the dark.
The last paragraph of the message
puts the whole case in nutshell:
There is no public exigency requir-
ing the revision of schedule X in Aug
ust without adequate information rath-
or than in December next with such in
formation. December was the time
fixed by both parties in the last con-
gress for the submission Of adequate

Lansing, Aug. 24.-Attorney Gen.
eral Kuhn has given an opinion in
which he holds that Michigan state
Banks cannot pledge their assets as
security for postal savings banks de-
posits. The opinion means a blow
to the state banks of the state and
will give to the national banks a de-
cided preference over state banks in
the matter of securing the deposits
of pcstals savings banks.
The question has been under dis
cussion for several months and re-
Gently Banking Commissioner Doyle
asked the attorney general If Michi-
gan state banks would be allowed to
pledge municipal bonds as securities
for postal savings bank deposits. In
lis opinion the attorney general re-
fers to the fact that the federal act
governing ~ the securing of. postal
savings bank deposits calls for Sc
curity in public banks. The section
Of Michigan banking law governing
this point says that no bank or bank
officer shall give preference to any
depcsitor or creditor by pledging the
assets of the bank as collateral Sc
curity~
Commissioner Doyle, when asked
concerning the opinion, said: "The
opinion of the attorney general
clearly defines the law and his opin-
ion will be followed. I trust, how
ever, that the government will see a
way to accept surety or personal
bonds in lieu of municipal bonds as
now required"
When asked what action he would
take in cases where state banks have
pledged their securities he
said: GAS see it the recall is quite
ponular these days and it looks to
me like a sure recall of the pledged
municipal securities unless the
Michigan state bankers take action
end bring about desired results
which will conform to the state
law"

MUNICIPAL ADVERTISING.

The movement to have the
Utah legislature pass a bill al,
lowing cities and counties to ap.
propriate money for advertising
and publicity purposes, bids fair
TO be successful. And there is
every reason why it should be.
With proper methods adopted for
the expenditure of money for aid
vertising purposes, appropriation
of this nature will result in the
development and progress Of cit
les and counties as much as the
building of roads and bridges.
There are hundreds of instances
that could be cited to show that
advertising has done more to de-
velop certain sections than all
other forces combined.
And the principle of having the
money for municipal promotion
come from all the people instead
of few is correct, too. Under
the present system the various
organizations that have taken up
this work have expended more
time and effort in getting the
subscriptions and collecting the
money than In real promotion
work. In addition, the few pub
lie spirit men who have the pro-
gress and development Of the
community at heart are compell-
ed TO bear the burden, while the
tightwad and obstructionist reaps
his share Of the benefits.
The burden of developing the
cities and counties and states
should be borne by the many
not by the few. OF all the states
that need developing Utah need
II the most, Every city and
every county will benefit by a
general publicity movement, ond
every individual will, indirectly
ut least, reap his share of the
profit. LIVE WIRE.

for cattle that will produce the
