CLOVER AS FORAGE
BY PAUL Bz1r. Iowa state College.

BY PAUL BZKE, Iowa State College.
AS late as 1910 sweet clover was
classed as a noxious weed by GER
tain experiment station, yet an Iowa
farmer, Frank Coverda1e Of Delmar,
grows it for both hay and seed and
says he prefers it to red clover. He
says, "Sweet clover hay is a super
Tor hay. When properly gotten up it
is<sweeter and better relished by the
stock than any other hay ! have ever
fed"
Mr.. Coverdale obtains the best re-
suits by using twenty pounds of seed
per acre on freshly plowed and disced
sod land. He usually seeds about
May goth, the time varying somewhat
with the season. The clover makes
a good growth the first year and may
be cut for hay late in the season. The
second year two cuttings for hay
may be made or one for hay and one
for seed.
Mr.. Coverdale has found by expert
ence tina. the best time to cut sweet
clover is Just before it blooms. The
stubble must be left at least ten
inches high at this stage or there is
danger Of killing out. The hay, after
willing, is placed in cocks and cured
in the cock. By this method the least
loss of leaves occurs and stems and
leaves retain much of their green
color.
The.contention has been made that
sweet clover is difficult to eradicate.
It is, however, biennial and if fol-
lowed by cultivated crop, such as
corn, will be prevented from reseed-
ing itself. The experience of MIR.
Coverdale, where dying out followed
too close moving, certainly indicates
that the plant is not very hard to
eradicate at will. o1
One of the most valuable character
istics of sweet clover is it's soil i'm
proving qualities. Its roots penetrate
the hardest soils, break up the lower
layers, improve drainage and on de-
cay leaves large quantities Of humus
in the soil.
y Most plants, especially legumes,
used for soil improvement are hard
to start in poor soils. Sweet clover
is an exception and will thrive and
do we'll where other legumes will not
grow with any reasonable amount Of
success.
3 AS a green manure, analyses show
that sweet clover ranks between al
falfa and red clover in nitrogen con-
tent, while the amount of green ma
terial available for turning under is
enormous when compared with other
crops used for the purpose. 8.
Sweet clover has been used on the
alkali lands Of the west. It stands
much more alkali than ordinary crops
and removes much of it IN the stems
and leaves, when cut and taken off
the land.
A biennial, sweet clover fits well in
to the ordinary rotation of the corn
belt. Since a stand is obtained much
more readily than of red clover, it no
doubt will prove valuable to many
Iowa farmers.

TESTING SEED CORN PAYS.

The results Of three years study at

nations tests show that with all the
testers used, the work of testing seed
corn was very profitable. The plant
ing results recorded show that no
one farm practice on corn belt farms
will give so great returns in dollars
and cents as seed corn testing.

DANGER FROM HooDLuMs.
Suffrasettes Will Be Protected by
Cavalry If Necessary.

Washington. Jan. president Taft
will turn ont the 18th United States
Cavalry at Fort Myer if necessary, to
protect the suffragists, who desire to
parade down Pennsylvania avenue, on
March 8, before the throngs drawn
here to witness the inaugural process
sion the following day. This was the
information given out at suffragist
headquarters, today.
The women declare that the COM
missioners of the district and Major
Richard Sylvester. superintendent of
police. have withheld permission for
the parade because they feared the
actions of a hostile crowd, might over
tax the police and that proper protec-
ton could not he given the marchers.
Prominent local business men have
volunteered their services to the Suf-
fragist managers and it was said they
obtained the Presidents promise to
call out the troops to safeguard the
marchers from hoodlumism if the
police protection was inadequate. The
commissioners will be waited ON, to-
day, by a committee of the Suffragists
who will urge that the necessary per-
NIT be given at once so that the plans
for the parade may not be held up by
uncertainty.
President Taft is to be invited to re-
view the marching women. They de-
clare. their procession will be the most
unique pageant ever seen in the

Concord. y. H., Jan. Tt seems 30
me we ought to call halt on expen-
ditures, said Governor Samuel ID.
Flicker in his inaugural address before
the New Hampshire Legislature, to-
day. The Governor pointed out that
the state expenditures and also the
state debt had nearly doubled in the
last half dozen years and added:
While we are doing more for the
various institutions of the state than
ever before. there is a limit to our
means. We ought not TO take on new
enterprises until we have made what
we have efficient"
Governor Felker defined government
as mot an end but a means, il should
be business wherein the money col
lected from the people is spent eco
nomically for their advantage"
He recommended the completion of
the trunk line highways and the
adoption of a fixed policy as To state
roads, including the patrol systems.

compelled by legislation to eonfine their
cuttings to trees over ~ inches in iii

Governor, SHOULD be kept within the
borders of the state to build up our
own towns and cities instead of its
being used for Our neighboring states.

ballot and favored the ratification by
New Hampshire of amendments to the
federal constitution for the income tax
and the direct election by the people Of

Reserves for
The u. S. Army.

Washington, Jan. In order that a
reasonably strong reserve may be es-
tablished in the United States with the
least possible delay, all men, VINO
have served in the regular army, ma
rine corps or militia and are of proper
age and physically fit should be au-
tborized to enlist al once in the re-
serve and receive pay. in the opinion
of Major General Leonard Wood, ehlet
of staff of the army. General wood, to-
day. endorsed the bill introduced oy
Rep. Tnsen of Connecticut providing
fer national military reserve
The reservist should receive 81 a
month while in reserve, said General
Wood, and when called upon IN war
should receive an amount equiVaIehe
TO 50 for each month he may have
served in the reserve. This would give
the reservist something to leave with
his family and would encourage men
TO 20 into the reserve and to remain
in it.
"The necessity for providing a re-
serve of officers qualified to serve as
company officers of reserves or Nolun-
teers is also one of great Importance
and should receive serious attention /
am of the opinion that it would be
practicable to select from the grad
uating classes Of those militia schools
where we have army officers as mill
tary instructors 500 men each year
who should be commissioned as sec
ond i.eutenants in the regular army
for one year, and to be discharged at
the end OF that period with certifi-
cate of proficiency, if they merit it.

States. which has no reserves. Gener-
al Wood enumerated the reserves IL
