OF ii mixture of 400 pounds Of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds
mllriate Of potash. The latter
mixture is preferred on land
where hoed crops have been re-
moved. Soil from an old alfalfa
field should nov be carefully dis
tributed over the field. Two or
three hundred pounds Of earth
per acre is sufficient. To facilitate
better distribution, the inoculated
soil should be mixed with an
equal quantity Of other soil in or
der to give more bulk. Harrow in
the inoculatcd soil at once. Soil

The work of the Delaware EX-
pertinent Station during the past
year has demonstrated that al
falfa can bc grown successfully IN

inc certain cultural methods are
followed. Last summer more thal

Experiment Staiion, and in most
eases the results were so crafty

to increase his acreage OF that
crop. In view uf the general IN

i |tre at this ti,ne, the Agronomy
Department OF Delaware Expert
ment Station gives the following
hints to the prospective alfalfa
grower.
Select the richest and best

falfa. Avoid land where water
tends to stand during the winter
and spring months. If the land Is

Speed war plans against automo-

are bothered with the speeding bug
are under formation in the minds of
Commission Archie Hart and Chief
of Police James Byinn, who are 60

campaign within a very short time
in an effort to put a quietus on all
speeding motors within the confines
of the citys limits. To place mo

the speed bugs, is one of the thoughts
for the crusade and it is more than
probable that a motorcycle officer
will be pressed into service for a

for demanding that his assistant, p r.

preferred through the police authOri-
ties and were based upon the facts
centering about the birth of a child to
