Those most prominent in that in

This investigation was concerning

SUGGESTIONS ON
GROWING ALFALFA

Select one acre already in wheat. II
acre best suited for alfalfa is not in
wheat SOW at once to spring oats, 8
bushels per acre.
Put 10 or more loads of farmvard
IN 'nure on wheat or oats as Iap-dress-
ing. With each load of manure put
80 pounds of acid phosphate, 16 per
c.nt. Just rs wheat or oats is about to
h 'a1, turn under deep and subsoil
Roll the ground and leave undisturb-
ed for 10 days; then thoroughly disk,
mixing the green crop manure, and
fertilizer well with the soil. Disk and
harrow the acre evei 10 days Ito kill
weed and grass During this period
OF cultivation supply 3 or tons of
ground limestone To the acre or two
tons Of burnt lime. Do not acceed TO
the temptation TO plant peas or some
crop on the land during the summer
One of the most important things is
the cultivation of the grounl dr ring
the summer and the conservation of
the rainfall.
Sow 30 pounds of alfalfa seed per
acre rs pounds each way when there
is plenty of moisture in the ground,
between Aug. 10 and Aug 90 The
seed should be covered very light. Dur
ing the fall or the next spring, if the
plants show any tendency to yellow
apply 100 pounds of nitrate of soda to
the acre,
You will get your first cutting about
May /, 1918, and pretty nearly every
30 to 40 days until five cuttings are
made each year. Do not pay any at
tention to the blossoms as TO the time
to cut. Look for the young shoots al
the base of the plants. When these
shoots are 3 to 3 inches long the alfalfa
should be cut.
After each cutting, the stubble
should be narrowed.
In getting and maintaining a stand |
of alfalfa, green manure, barnyard ma
nure, acid phosphate, lime, summer
of ground August sowing,
good seed, and the cultivation of alfal- |
ia after each cutting are essential.

MASSEY AND SELLS WILL
RUN IN NOVEMBER

Bristol, April 20.-Following his con-
ference with Bristol friends Thursday,
when Chairman A. T.. Shipey was
present. it was announced that DR.. z.
d. Massey would certainly be in The
race for congress in the First Tennessee
district until the polls close in Novem-
Der. When asked if he had any idea
of quitting the race, DR.. Massey said:
81 certainly have not. | am sure that
the national committee, upon the re
turn of the sub committee from Pana-
ma, will decide in my favor as their
regular nominee. / am equally con-
vinced that Mr.. Sells will not sdhere
to that decision, but will remain on
the track until after the November
election. 1t is my purpose, therefore,
to plan for thorough canvass of the
district. l shall ride horseback from
county to county, pretty much as the
candidate makes the rounds
over the county in which he is running.
| expect TO meet the masses directly
and lay my case before them.
Those who participated in the con-
ference here were frank to say that Dr.
Massey is no quitter. They expressed
the belief that the situation meant a
struggle between Sells and Massey un-
til the people shall have decided the
contest in their own way.
