BIG YIELD OF ALFALFA SEED
J. u. Painter Will Plant Forty Acres in

were thru with his grain he had
his little stack of alfalfa run thru
the separator. OF course much
of the seed was lost in the straw,
and Mr.. Painter is confident that
with a clover huller to use, he
would have had at the least 200
pounds of seed. AS it is, he is
more than satisfied, and for next
season he plans to plant forty
acres of his farm in alfalfa. For
this reason he is reserving all his
seed, as he wishes to have enuf
to replant, should he happen to
fail to get a good stand from the
first planting.
Mr.. Painter drills his alfalfa in
wide rows, with about eight seeds
to each hill, and the hills twelve
inches apart. The half acre he
now has was planted in July of
1912, and has been cultivated to
keep down weeds and conserve
the moisture.
Other Keota farmers are also
getting splendid results from al
falfa. Fred Ashdown got seven
tons Of cured hay on first cutting
from his seven acres of rowed
alfalfa, and later cuttings were
practically as good. Lark Bailey
has small field in 24-inch rows
which has already paid for its
care, and from which he expects
handsome profit in seasons to
come. The alfalfa acreage in
this locality will show a great in.
crease before the close of another
year.

market conditions did not prompt him
to tell national banks Of the country
that he was prepared to issue $780,.
100000 of emergency currency, Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo stated
today. He said he issued his state

For some time inquiries have been

The secretary emphatically declar-

any apprehension Of the administra-

soon be necessary. In view Of trou.

he did not expect that any emergency
currency would be requested before
the crop moving period this fall, and
possibly not then.

DISPOSAL OF
RAILROAD STOCK
CONTINUED from page H.

Smith in the federal court here this
morning
At the same time Judge Smith de-
veloped line OF questioning concern
ing the opportunity which the Union
Pacific would have under at least the
first plan of release of Southern Paci-
fic stock, to retain control over the
Southern Pacific indefinitely, which
was embarrassing to Judge R. G. Lovett
and N. H. LOOMS. attorneys for the
Union Pacific.
Court adjourned after Attorney
General McReynolds had promised to
present the governments attitude on
the amendment to plans allowing the
Pennsylvania railroad to enter into
the scheme by exchanging stock OF
the Baltimore and Ohio, held by II
to Union Pacific stockholders for
Southern Pacific stock. He was al
lowed ten days in which to give the
governments stand on this new phase
of reorganization. The court took the
plans under advisement while they
await the decision OF the attorney
general. Mr.. McReynolds said, how
ever, that he did not believe there
would be any objection to the ex-
change OF stock. The plans to which
the attorney general fundamentally
objected as opposed to what the gu,
preme court could have intended
when 1T ordered the dissolution and
upon which Judge Smith looked with
suspicion are as follows:
THE stock of the Southern Pa
cific held by Union Pacific stockhold-
ers would he offered for sale by pub
lie subscription. A syndicate would
be formed to manage the sale. The
circuit court of appeals would fix
the percentage Of the total amount OF
stock which Union Pacific stockholders
might acquire at the public sale.
The Southern Pacific stock would
be offered for sale at minimum price
to be fixed by the syndicate This
minimum would encourage investors
to purchase as it would be below the
market price and allow them mar
gin between the two, Mr.. Loomis ex-
planned.
2-All the Southern Pacific stock
held would be turned to trustee to
be appointed by the circuit court. He
would issue certificates OF interest to
the stockholders in place of the stock
These certificates would give no vot.
ing or other rights of control. They
would be exchanged for stock only
after enough Union Pacific stock
holders had disposed Of their cert
ficates SO as to make certain that the
limit fixed by the court for control
of Southern Pacific stock by Union
Pacific holders would not be exceed
ed. Injunctions would be ready re-
straining holders of these certificates
who were still Union Pacific stock
holders from exchanging them back
for Southern Pacific stocn.
