DRILLING WINTER WHEAT
IN STANDING CORN.

In tests made at the Iowa Agri-
cultural Experiment station excellent
winter wheat yields were secured by
drilling the seed in standing corn
early in September. If the corn is
upright, as in the case Of more than
half of our Iowa seasons, this may be
done satisfactorily, and thus replace
portion of the standing corn crop
with one Of much higher value per
acre. Where this is done clover may
be added in the spring and good
rotation maintained. For putting
winter wheat in standing corn a
special type of drill ought to be used.
At the station, use is made of one
horse machine and no damage what
ever is done to the corn. Sometimes
corn is badly blown down by August
storms and then it is important to
SOW wheat by this method.
Spring cultivation of winter wheat
seeded by this method should be con-

MACHINE FOR DRILLING.

Quoted much as though wheat were
sown on open ground. The method of
cultivation will depend entirely on
local soil and climatic conditions. If
the surface is baked into crust, it is
generally advisable to harrow length
wise of the drill rows. This will al
SO give the clover seed a longer time
TO take root when it is sown in the
spring. Care should be taken that
the land is not moist when work is
done on it in the spring or more harm
than good may result. Sometimes
a corrugated roller may be used sat
isfactorily, especially on lighter soils
in dry springs when the wheat has
been heaved by the frost. On no
condition, however, must a roller
be USED on heavy soils when they
are damp.

PREPARING THE SEED BED
and SEEDING ALFALFA
BY Farm Crops Department, Iowa
State College.


State College.
Nothing in growing alfalfa is more
important than proper preparation of
the seed bed. Every successful
grower will tell you that. I have let
tiers from many men who have done
well with this crop and in all is the
statement that it is absolutely neces-
sary to work the ground we'll previ-
GUS to sowing in order to conserve
moisture and get rid of weed seed.
As one man said, it is necessary to
disk and harrow until you are
weary"
This cultivation should begin as
soon as the preceding crop is re-
moved, or in case that no crop is put
in in the spring, the land should be
worked we'll throughout the summer.
Immediately after blowing disk the
land and harrow it thoroughly and
then work it every ten days or two
weeks, or at least after every rain.
Unless the land is prepared early

THE SELECTION AND
TREATMENT OF
ALFALFA SOIL

BY H. D. Hughes, Professor of Farm
Crops, Iowa State College.
While we feel that alfalfa can be
grown successfully on at least por-
tons of practically every farm in
Iowa, some soils and locations are
better adapted to alfalfa growing
than others.
In selecting a field for this crop
these factors must be considered:
1. The drainage of the soil.
2. The fertility of the soil.
3. The need Of incubation.
A. The need of lime.
Failure may result if any one OF
these factors is overlooked. We
have known men who have failed
time after time, and yet who finally
succeeded when they met all of these
conditions.
1t is useless to attempt to grow al
falfa on land which is not we'll

DECISION TO GUIDE DIPLOMATS
SUPREME COURT WILL SOON
RULE ON DISPOSITION.
Right Of American Government 20
Surrender Prisoner to italy 10
Questioned.

Washington, Sept. %. - The long
wait of Porter Charlton behind the
bars of New Jersey prison for the
final word as to whether he must re-
turn to Italy to answer for the MUIR
der of his wife at Lake Como two
years ago, is drawing to an end. The
supreme court will take UP his case
during the term which opens October
IA. J..
Charlton's appeal is the most noted
case of it's kind before the court. The
details Of the crime stirred both E,b
rope and America. Diplomatic officials
of Italy and the United States have
become involved. The decision of the
court will be looked to as guide in
diplomatic intercourse.
The 23-year-old prisoner through
his father, Judge Paul P. Charlton Of
Porto Rico, will not contest the ques-
ton of his guilt, but will challenge
the right of. the American govern.
ment to surrender him to the Italian
authorities.
This right is claimed on account of
the peculiar circumstances under
which Charlton was arrested.
Immediately after Mrs. Charlton's
body was found in trunk in Lake
Como, the search for her husband be-
gan. He was arrested at the request
of the wife's brother, Capt. H. H.
Scott of the United States army. az
he stepped from steamer at Ho-
boken, N. J..
He had committed no crime in Am
erica, but confessed to having muir
dered his wife, who he said had re-
fused to obey his order to be quiet
one night as they sojourned at Lake
Como on their wedding trip.
Under the treaty between the Unit
ed States and Italy, Italy repeatedly
has declined to grant requests Of the
United States that Italians, who COM
mitted crimes in this country and
escaped to Italy, be returned here for
punishment. Italy has responded that
she would punish them.

quested the United States to surrend.

that as the United States could not

To prevent his removal Charlton's
father brought habaes corpus proceed
ings before the New Jersey courts.
claiming there was no authority for
his arrest and challenged the right OF
the American government to turn his
son over to the Italian officers. The
New Jersey courts held against Charl'
ton, who appealed to the supreme
court of the United States.

The Side Delivery Rake Useful For Alfalfa.

Useful For Alfalfa.
and then good mulch maintained
there will be great danger Of too lit
tie moisture to insure termination,
Then again alfalfa will not fight
weeds, and unless the soil is stirred
often, in this way bringing the weed
seeds to the surface and terminating
them BEFORE the alfalfa crop is put
in, difficulty and possible failure is
the result.
Further, while the surface soil
should be very well fined and loose,
the subsurface should be rather COM
pact. Late and little preparation
means loose seed bed with more
drying out, and then in the winter
great danger from heaving, with the
loss Of the whole crop as result.
The Seed and Method of Seeding.
In buying alfalfa the highest priced
seed is usually the cheapest. To in
sure best termination the seed should
be put in with an ordinary grain drill,
and, in average soil, covered to a
depth Of about one inch. To distrib-
ute the seed uniformly it is a good
plan to set the drill SO as to sow only
about ten pounds per acre and then
to go over the land twice, crossing
the field in one direction first, and
then at right angles with it.
Time of Seeding.
In the main there are four meth
DDS of seeding alfalfa in Iowa:
1. Seeding in the spring with
nurse crop.
2. Seeding in the spring or early
summer without nurse crop.
8. Seeding in the late summer fol-
lowing the removal of some other
crop.
4. Seeding in the late summer on
summer fallowed land.
Spring Seeding.
In spring seeding put the alfalfa
in the small grain in identically the
same manner in which red clover is
ordinarily sown.
If the second method is used sow
somewhat later than the small grain
is usually put in. When this method
is used it is very important that the
land has been worked thoroughly for
some weeks in advance of seeding to
dispose of weeds.
Late SuMSier Seeding.
While great many successful
stands have been secured from spring
seeding, we believe the surest method
of securing stand is to plow in the
spring and summer fallow the land.
Then seed about the middle of Au-
gust, having previously applied ma
nure, inoculated soil and lime. While
it is true that this method of secur-
ing stand is somewhat more ex-
pensive than the others, oftimes the
yield the following year is consider
ably greater than that secured by
the other methods.
If the work is thoroughly done and
the land cultivated repeatedly
throughout the summer, we believe
that there is little chance Of failure
OF Lne laCe summer ScculHSs cNeu III
very dry seasons, such as those in
1910 and 1911.
Good, we'll rotted manure should be
applied and the land disked just as
soon as the crop is removed, and then
the land plowed at once and worked
into good condition. Keep the land
disked every week or ten days, and
seed about August Is, as in the case
of summer fallowed land. Probably
more seedlings have been made in this
way than on summer fallowed land.
The present Indications are that this
method will be entirely satisfactory
for the present season.
