CLOVER SEED PRODUCTION.

In a letter from F. l.. Kennard
head OF the Department of Field
Crops at the State University, at
Moscow he says;
If you can produce an average
Weld of five bushels of clover seed
per acre, | should certainly increase
my clover area.
AS to VARIETIES. l should
grow either Alsike or Red, the form
er is as a rule more profitable for a
seed crop, especially under Irrigated
conditions. 1t is a crop which will
stand more water, and in fact grows
in soil too wet for red clover, 50 that
YOU do not take so much chance in
losing your crop by possible over
supply OF water.
As to the amount Of seed to the
acre of clover, generally eight to ten
pounds is used OF the red, and four
to eight of the Alsike yer acre.
This difference i due to the
much smaller size of the latter.
As to the Supply and Prices
fro m year TO year, for the last five
years the price has huctuated very
little, less than one dollar per
bushel, and when we consider the
high price of bushel OF clover seed,
a huctuation of dollar a husheI is
not very much.
There is always a demand for
pure seed and if you are careful
to secure pure seed to begin with
and keep it pure, l think you will
have no trouble in making a very
good profit from growing either Of
these varieties. "

Annapolis News.

We have had some good growing
rains the past week.
Two or three fights the past week,
but no one badly hurt. One fellow is
wearing a patch, where he was hit by
a rock.
Elmer Lloyd sold 40 cases of beer
the past month. Clarence CASTLE, the
new beer man, sold forty cases. The
beer sells at 1925 per case. More than
S465 worth of beer went out of this
town in five days, and many who
bought have little bread.
John S. Benson returned to his home
in st. Louis Sunday. He is feeble and
the hot weather is trying.
James L. CASTLE spent the 4th at
Poplar Bluff with kindred.
Arthur Brewer was in Poplar Bluff
on the 4th.
Ben Johnson, Lucian Kelley, Gus
Lott, Josie Faris and Jennie Hubbard
are going to st. Louis to-day (Mon-
day to seek employment.
Dobbs & CASTLE will shut down their
mill at Annapolis this month, because
OF the scarcity of logs.
Gus Funk will soon have his hav
barn, in front of town, completed. 1t
is about 4Ox6O feet.
Weddings are all off for the pres
emit. Seems to be an awful hard lob
to get a marriage license.
John 7. Webb, Ida Lloyd and her
son, Richard, and Ed Lloyd and wife
went to Black river fishing Thursday.
On their way out on the rough
road going down the hill on Funk
Branch, all of them fell out of the rig
except Ed Loyd's wife. She staid in
the wagon until the team had run a
hundred yards or more and then got
out uninjured. The others we're all
badly bruised. The rig was a total
wreck and things were scattered along
the way for a mile or more. They got
another wagon and went on as ifnoth-
ing had happened.
James Chairman, Perry Allen and
Earnest Brewer and their families
spent the 4th at James Browns on
Black river.
d. A. Worley and family spent the
4th of July at the picnic in Des Arc
and report a good time while there.

HAVE some sympathy for our Con-
gressmen detained at the broiling
National Capitol by stress of public
business that may not be deferred.
But in their suffering and persistence
lies the salvation of the country from
grievous i'll too long endured, and
their tenacity will have it's due re-
ward. Though not exactly analogous,
the situation recalls to my mind an
old story. A certain blacksmith, who
was quite a dog fancier, came in
possession of a promising bull pup,
which he set about training with care
and diligence. He housed the animal
in one corner of the shop, to have it
always under his eye. One day, when
the pup was a half yearling, the own
er's father came into the shop and at
the same moment a bright idea sprang
from the brain of the son. "Dad," he
suggested, ''supposin' you get down
onyour hunkers and growl at the pup
dog fashion? Let's see what he'll dor"
The old man, too, vas ready for the
experiment. Down on his hands and
knees he got and made for the pup
with a warlike ''g-r-r-rl" In a flash
the latter had his challenger by the
nose. This was something not antici-
pated, and ''dad' wanted to cry quits;
but the son, delighted with his pets
proves, cried out, "Stand to it, dadl
Stand to it! It'll be the maxim of the
pupil"

1T is said that some of the railroads
affected by the late two-cents- per-
mile decision are reducing their SER
vice and seeking to make matters
uncomfortable for hepublic. If true,
what fools they are! They will be
wiser later on, but their wisdom will
have been dearly bought. The State
is bigger than any combination of

AT last, it seems we are going to
have a currency system planned in the
interest of the people rather than for
the exclusive benefit of the money
brokers. The billions that have been
grated from the Taxpayers are gone
forever, but there is pleasure in the
thought that an end has come to ever
this, and that the Irrational honor" is
no longer bound up in the qualification
of old cent-per-cent.
