Man Wanted Here Arrested IN

to Peru Authorities.
FACES PRISON SENTENCE
When He Gets Out He Will Probably
Be Sent Back From This City
After a Trial

Chief of Police James Brinn yes
terday received word from the chief
of police at Rockford that P. J.
Clark, wanted in Rock Island for
forgery, had been placed under ar
rest there. Chief Brinn asked that
he be held, but before his telegram
had been received at Rockford, the
marshal from Peru, had asked for
the prisoner and he had been turned
over to him to answer to a charge
similar to the one here. When the
Peru authorities have punished
Clark, he will be rearrested and
brought here for a trial. Apparent
ly he faces a term in Joliet peniten-
tiary.
Ten days ago. Clark registered at
the Harms hotel and represented
himself as an agent from the Lin
coin Stove company. A check, sign
ed by W. J Moorehouse and calling
for $50 was cashed by the hotel man
agement for him. He decamped be-
fore il was learned that the piece of
paper was worthless. He worked the
same scheme for a similar amount
at Peru.

Experience in Alfalfa Seeding

= Preparation of Seed Bed.-Alfalfa is
! a deep rooted plant and therefore the
ground should be plowed and thor
oughly pulverized to considerable
/ depth in order to give the plant good
start 1T is better to pillow some time
before seeding and give the ground
| frequent disking and narrowing until
! it is thoroughly and finely pulverized.
| have never seen a seed bed too well
prepared 1t is one of the most i'm
portant things in sowing alfalfa.
Sub-soiling I am not absolutely
sure sub-soiling is necessary in all
soils. but it was a part of the method
employed when ] obtained my best
results, and without more information
OH the subject | woulG hesitate about
giving it up
Time of SeedinE-My best results

first of October and secured an excel
lent stand There may have been
something in the season that aided in
the result / believe an earlier date
Is TO be preferred The only advan-
tsge in the later date is in avoiding
the weeds.
| think that il is desirable that the
plant get a good start and become
well rooted before cold weather.
Quality of Seed. II have al
ways sown the best seed could

Quality of Seed. - have usu-
ally sown twenty pounds to the

all the conditions named have been
complied with-a fertile soil, lime

seed, and well prepared seed bed-a
much less quantity will suffice
Method of Seeding have al

suits. ! believe the rolling is impor
tant. especially in a dry time.
/ understand that disc drills are be
ing used for sowing alfalfa in rows

never used or seen one, but think the
idea good one, as the seed could be
distributed more evenly and covered

To those who SOW alfalfa for the

you do not succeed try. Try again Il
is worth the effort. and success will

bulletin Of Illinois Farmers Instituted
We wish to call especial attention TO
the factors, that through the experience
of a fifth of a century. have given the
most satisfactory growth and develop
ment. The results secured by Mr..
Grout can be duplicated by any Illinois
farmer complying with conditions as
he has
Manure have always had the
best success in seeding on the richest
land. which of course. was to be ex-
pected From my experience and OBJ
servations. | am satisfied that the ap
plication of some manure at the time
the ground is prepared for seeding is
most desirable, in order TO give the
plant a good start and assist il until
it becomes well and deeply rooted.
think that the manure applied al this
time is a most important element in
securing a good stand. and when the
stand is secured. three or four crops
each year, for several years, is as
sured. II is most important there
fore, that a good start and good stand
be obtained.
Limestone have obtained very
good results without the use OF ground
limestone, but on the other hand !
have obtained better results with il.
There is. | think. no question that for
best results on most soils, limestone
is necessary. No doubt there is SO
much acidity in some soils that altal-
ia cannSt be grown successfully with
out it, 1t is a condition that should
be ascertained by test.
Phosphorus can say the same OF
phosphorus as of limestone, that |
have grown good alfalfa without II,
but I have grown much better alfalfa
with it. I do not know that ii is nee
essary after the plant roots have eX-
tended down below the soil that has
been exhausted by frequent groupings
of much Of its phosphorus, out 40
believe II is just as essential and nee
essary in the beginning as any OF the
other elements of plant food.
Inoculation.-I am frequently asked
If incubation is really necessary.
can emphatically say that il is, if i'm
mediate and satisfactory results are
desired. When my first attempts al
REOnlIk dlAdEid were lA4daC L AA-NR
nothing about incubation. in fact, had
never heard of it. Ny first sowing
never grew very rank and only lasted
three or four years. When this field
was plowed up and reseeded with ad-,
ground l soon discovered that
the reseeded part was much thriftier
and better than the other II was
about this time that ! learned about
incubation and tried IT and obtained
