GOOD CROP OUTLOOK.

Not for a number Of years have
\ the crop prospects been as good in
this section Of the state as they are
]. ct the present time. The dry wealth
ar Of the past two weeks has admir-
ably fitted the soil for cultivation,
and notwithstanding the lateness Of
the season most farmers are well
along with their work. The oats and
other small grains are practically all
$sown. and blowing tor corn is well
under way.
Now let every farmer finish corn
planting by the middle of May and a
great crop will be almost assured.

1t is estimated that in this coun-
try incomes less than $4,000 per
annum can be exempted, and yet the
enormous sum Of $100,0OO,0OO can be
raised from a tax on incomes. In
most Of the countries of Europe
wealth is SO equally divided that
few have incomes greater than $4,000,
and an exemption up to that sum
would raise but little revenue. In
most, If not all other countries, the
exemption Is less than $1,000.

JUDGE VAN WAcENEN APPOINT
Ed ATTORNEY FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT

z .f rs. . .,4t
Last week President Wilson ap-
pointed Judge Van Wagenen Of Sioux
City to the office of U. S. Attorney
for the Northern District Of Iowa.
The Judge is admirably qualified for
the position and this paper rejoices
over his success.
It 10 stated that the President made
this appointment without consulting
the Iowa democratic congressman or
committeemen, but it is safe to say
that they are all pleased over the
appointment and willing to admit that
no better selection could have been
made. Judge Van Wagenen is all
right In every respect.

WAR CLOUDS sTlLLLoWER OVER
EUROPE.

Montenegro commenced the Balkan
war, although ordered not to do so
by the great powers, and in direct
and positive opposition to the COM
mands Of the great European nations
that little country, with less than
100000 inhabitants, stormed and cap
tured the fortified city of Scutari.
The Russian people are ready, in fact
anxious, to draw the sword in support
Of the Montenegrins, and that mighty
nation may be obliged to do the will
of its people.

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1913-10-02

A little lady from northwest Sas-
katchewan, away up near the Attic
circle, drifted into the Sentinel Post
Office Monday because she said it did
her good to see United States
paper. She is Mrs. J. w. Peterson,
sister of Mrs. Herald on Palm avenue
in this city. Mrs. Peterson is ma
tive of Decatur county, Iowa, but
went to Canada two years ago from
Missouri, where her husband is
homesteading. Although American
in sentiment she is an enthusiastic
booster for the far northwest. She
says the country blooms with flowers
from snow to snow, that wheat yields
SIS to so bushels per acre, vegetables
are far superior to the Iowa variety,
plums grow so large they look like
apples, the climate is delightful and
one does not get cold, game is plen-
tiful and the women do the hunting
while the men work. We enjoyed her
visit and would like to visit her hap
py hunting grounds in the early fall
but in January we prefer to hug
the Iowa furnace, if not the Iowa wo-
Shenandoah Sentinel-Post.

Alfalfa for Seed.

An Illinois correspondent writes:
1--WE would like information as to
the harvesting of alfalfa seed"
Alfalfa is very rarely saved for
seed in the corn belt. But in dry
seasons like the present, good crops
have been produced in Iowa and Hi
nois. A good way to determine
whether or not it is we'll to save a
crop for seed is to examine the
crowns for new shoots. If the crop
has been in bloom for some time and
considerable seed has set before the
new shoots appear, the chances are
that fair crop will be secured. But
if the weather has been wet enough
to push on the growth of the new
shoots before any seed is set, there
is not much chance for a seed crop.
In Kansas the second or third cut
tings are generally used for seed.
There is some objection against the
second cutting being used for seed,
because in this way the third cutting
is made very small. On the other
hand, there is some objection against
the third cutting, because dry sea-
son combined with early cold wealth
er often cuts down the yield.
Taking crop of alfalfa seed must
be looked upon purely as an expert
ment in the corn belt. We would be
little doubtful as to using the third
cutting for seed. The seed might
possibly ripen before cold weather,
but we fear the seed crop would leave
the alfalfa plants with such weaken
ed vitality that they might not come
through the winter.
The method of harvesting alfalfa
for seed is practically the same as
harvesting for clover. Cutting is be-
gun when most of the pods have
turned dark brown and the seeds are
hard, but before shattering begins.
A couple of hours after cutting, the
crop can be raked into winrows,
and in few more hours can be put
into cocks. After the crop has been
put in cocks for several days, 1t is
generally stacked for a month or two
until a huller or threshing machine
may be secured. Sweating In the
stack seems. to make alfalfa seed cas-
Ter to thresh. Wallace Farmer Y.
