NEW JAPANESE EMPEROR
ISSUES PROCLAMATION
Promises to Sustain and Push
Forward Work Done by
MutSuhito,
(By Associated Prsss.)

TOXIC, July 31.-Yoshihito, emperor
of the new era of Taisei, read his first
proclamation this morning to an i'm
mense gathering of officials and repre-
sentatives of all branches of the service.
The emperor said:
1.-THE death of the former emperor
has caused great sorrow to the nation.
but the throne cannot be left empty and
the state administration cannot be neg
lected, even for a day. We, therefore,
Immediately assembled the throne and
will administer the affairs of the coun-
try under the protection of our i'm
perial ancestors and under the provis-
ions Of the constitution.
In this administration we hope not
to be misled. We shall endeavOr to sus-
tain and further the great work done
and undertaken by the former emperor.
"You. our subjects, do your best for
YOUR country as you did for the former
emperor, and be loyal to US"
The proclamation of the new emperor
pays a lengthy tribute to Mutushito, the
dead ruler.
Marquis Saionji, the Japanese pre-
mier, replied to the emperor's proclama-
ton, pledging his loyalty to the new
sovereign.

Conditions generally have been I'M

the exception of Texas and Oklahoma,
all states sustained more or less in
jury from excessive rains. Considerable
grass resulted and insects have been
active. Boil weevils are becoming nu-
merous in Mississippi and Louisiana
and the army worm was working in
South Carolina and Alabama, while in
Oklahoma and Arkansas the web worms
were very numerous. The plant is gen.
orally small, but healthy. Except
where grass has taken possession OF
fields, cultivation is good and the
plants are healthy. The season is fully
two to three weeks backward, as a
rule. In Texas the chief causes of de-
terioration are drouth and high tenn
peratures and since the date of these
reports, July rs, no relief has been af-
torded, But the plant is generally in

coat of lime should be applied and
disced in-not plowed in. Alfalfa
should be planted on ground which
has been firmly settled at least two
months before planting, but a fine
seed bed made with a cutaway and
tooth harrow should be prepared
for the seed, not over four inches
deep. The seed should be innocu-
lated with Farmogerm, or you
should use from 200 to 500 pounds
of dirt from a field which has al
ready been innoculated.
Plant 80 pounds of seed per acre;
25 pounds sown one way and har-
rowed in with a tooth harrow set
at about As degrees, and then SOW
crosswise the other 20 pounds and
cover in the same way. on sandy,
loose soils the ground should be
rolled after seeding, but on stiff
clay soils this is not necessary.
Most people do not prepare their
land far enough ahead to make
alfalfa a success. The ground must
be settled and filled with moisture
if you expect to get perfect stand

1t would be best for you to get a

could not say positively what the
trouble is unless L could see the an

soon start to grow a new hoof, and
a horse or a mule that grows
tender new hoof will recover from
many of the causes, for lameness.
Nothing will soften and start a
new growth quicker than keeping
them standing in water, long enough
to soften the hoofs, and this should
be done every day until the new
growth starts. 10
