Hints to Farmers.

Cloyers and grasses. The high
price of hay should give an additional
incentive for sowing increased acreage
OF grasses and clovers the coming
year. The high prices and indicated
high prices Of COW peas, sofa beans
and other leguminous crops, should
also make clover more largely used
and depended upon as soil-improver
as at present values it costs less to
seed per acre than any of the legu-
minous crops. The bountiful crops
and resulting low prices of grain
should also make farmers pay more
attention to the improvement Of the
land which can be accomplished by
seeding down to grasses and cloyers.
Sowing in March ON fall-sown grain.
Grasses and clovers especially can be
safely and satisfactorily seeded on
fall-sown wheat, oats or other grain
crops, during the month of March.
Seeding at that time not only saves an
extra preparation OF the land, but the
narrowing and cross-harrowing,
which is desirable in order to give the
grass and clover seed slight covering,
acts as a cultivation and a decided
benefit to the wheat and grain crops,
increasing the yield to considerable
extent In fact, even if you do not
seed clover and grasses on your wheat
and fall-sown grain in the spring, it
IS to advantage to run the harrow
over these crops, SO as to break the
crust Of the soil, which acts as a cul-
tivation and materially increases the
yield of the grain.
Fertilizing Grain in the spring. We
have also found most excellent re-
suits from fertilizing wheat and other
grains during the month of March, in
preference to applying the fertilizer
at the time wheat Is seeded In the fall,
and we strongly recommend to our
customers, whether they seed clover
or grasses or not, to fertilize their
grain crops with 200 TO 800 lbs. Of
animal bone or a good grain fertilizer,
at that time, and run the harrow over
it to slightly incorporate it with the
soil. The increased yields of grain
will we'll repay for the fertilizing and
little extra labor required.-From

LOOKS BAD FOR FARMERS
STORES.
,motors are Charged With Misman.


Denver.-The million members of a
national organization known as the
Farmers Union are keenly interested
in battle which has been started be-
tween the Colorado farmers and a
state organization of retailers of farm
produce called the Union Trading
Company"
Colorado farmers are the ones most
vitality affected, They have demanded
the resignation of the directorate of
the trading company, and have backed
their demand with specific charges.
1t is alleged that the trading COM
pany, while pretending to do strict
ly cash business, has not done so, and
that 100000 of liabilities had ac-
crued before a large portion of the
stock had been sold.
George b. Lang. until recently presi-
dent of the organization, resigned just
before the recent meeting of the union
at Pueblo. Now the resignation of the
entire directorate is the only thing
that will satisfy the farmers. Lang
is now said to have been the principal
promoter of the trading company.
Other promoters are C. T. Rawalt. r.
o. Hughes. B. F. Montgomery and A.
d. Hamilton. The president and
manager of the trading company now
is s. Y. Schenck of Pueblo, who under
his contract, is entitled to a salary of
$4,000 year. His salary is regu-
lated only by the number of stores
operated by the company. He gets
81 O0O n wear for each of the fourteen
stores owned by the company. He is
working under contract for ten
years.
