best crops to sow for this purpose.
Have thought of sowing Canada field
peas with oats or wheat.
The best crop to sow for early hay
at the present time would be oats and
Canada field peas, or oats and English
vetch. If the English vetch Is used
it would probably be better to delay
the seeding until about the middle OF
February to the first OF March, when
danger of hard freezes is past, as the
English vetch is not nearly so hardy
as the hairy vetch. We have had fair
ly good results, however, on the college
demonstration field in planting hairy
vetch as late as the first of the year, but
ordinarily better results will be obtained
from planting it about the first of No
vember. While it is late for planting
oats, if there should happen to be a
favorable spell of weather for the next
ten days or two weeks, they could be
sown to good advantage. We would
mix the oats and vetch in the proper
tion of five pecks of the former to 20
to 30 pounds of the latter. Where Can
ada peas and oats are used, mix them
in the proportion of one bushel of the
farmer to five pecks OF the latter Sow
in open burrows using not less than
800 pounds of an 1928 fertilizer under
the drill row at the time of planting
Canada peas do not ordinarily make a
luxuriant growth in the south, but COM
bined with oats they make a very ex-
cellent quality of hay, and will be ready
to cut and feed earlier than any other
crop with which We are acquainted.

A writer in Dry Farming says:
1t is apparent that most of our upland
prairie lands will need incubation. Near
ly all farmers cat least those who have
taken an interest in ALFALFA understand
this term. It is necessary that certain
bacteria be found in the soil If they
are not there naturally they must be
put there. This planting of the bac-
terra is called incubation.
Pure cultures can be obtained, but the
best and safest method is to secure dirt
from a successful alfalfa field. This
dirt should be sowed over the field at
the rate of 200 to 800 pounds per acre,
upon cloudy day. or just before q rain
If possible, and narrowed in. Sunshine
is Injurious to the germs.
A sack and a half of soil to an acre
will be sufficient, but it might be Of
advantage to mix this with other dirt to
insure equable. distribution. An advan-
tage in starting with a small patch OF
alfalfa is that when this patch is well
inoculated a farmer has an abundBce
of alfalfa dirt to incculate larger acres.

In using the telephone, some Of us
overlook the fact that the invisible
young women whom we address as
"Central' is just such young girl as
our pretty Edith whom we watch so
proudly as she goes off with Fred and
Harry to play golf. "Central,' poor
dear, is at the age to enjoy golf and
tennis fully as much as Edith does,
but the fact that she has no time for
such pleasures does not vex her d
particle. What does annoy her is the
singular state of mind which leads
the unseen person at the other end of
the wire to treat her unCivilly, to call
her stupid, TO threaten her with com
plants to the management, because
she cannot always and instantly make
the desired connection for the party
of the second part. TO be rude to
"Central is the greatest breach Of
good manners, because She cannot
protect herself from insult.

ing as it does the carefully considered
convictions of the men elected by

Il absolutely agree with. you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preference or interests of any man
but purely from the standpoint Of the
interests of the people as whole. L
will accept the nomination for presi-

of the chief principles for which L

which l have always endeavored and

Prof. n. E. Hansen of BroOkingS
college, who delivered an interesting
address during the Institute, was d
LEADER visitor Saturday morning.
He is perhaps the greatest authority
on alfalfa in this country, and has
made some very remarkable and sue
ceSSful experiments with alfalfa seed
brought from RuSsianASia. He left
with the LEADER a sample Of white
and red Peruvian corn raised near
the equator. Each kernel being al
most as large as q lima bean and it
requires seven months to mature from
the time it is planted. The ears are
as big as policeman s club and make
handy weapons for the natives. The
stalks grow about twelve feet high
and the corn ears are picked from
horse back. This corn was undOubted
ly the original Of what the Northern
Indians raised as Squaw corn, and
grew smaller as it advanced north
ward. Prof. Hansen is a very in
tereSting talker and has acquired a
store OF knowledge that will bring
surprising results from experiments
at the Brookings College His ex-
periments with alfalfa is developing
surprising results in the way of pro-
ducing seed.

The object of the Confederates in

represent the La Toilette Roosevelt
interests and are the only delegates
he will recognized or will have the
support of the La Toilette leaders,
and the friends of Col. Roosevelt are
eoually well satisfied with the dele
pates named, and thus the friends OF
the two great progressive leaders can
unite and win great victory for the
people. Roosevelt and La Toilette
NAV have differed in means and meth
ods at an earlier stage of the great

were being drilled into veterans, but
thev we're like Grant and Sherman in
the great war game, they were work
ing for the people and popular govern
ment Oh slightly different lines, but
both determined to overcome pluto

to win because all the powers of pluto

for progress Senator La Toilette is
satisfied with the delegates named at
