'We are interested in the mat
ter Of securing forage plant
suited to this locality. We have
been informed that sweet clover,
which grows Axuriantly and
strong along our roadsides in
this locality. is a good fertilizer
and forage plant. Our farmers
are afraid to SOW it fearing it
will become nuisance. We

N. Hume, Agronomist.
There are two principal kinds
OF sweet clover. One is white
f1owered" and one is yellow
fowered." If one wishes to
know their botanical names,
they are Melilotus alba, and
Melilotus officianalis. w hen
they are grown either as weeds
along the roadside or as a field
crop, they are easily told from
each other by the different COL
ored flowers, The white-fower-
ed kind is most common as
roadside plant in these parts. A
great many people are asking
questions about sweet clover as
prospective forage crop. AL
though it is new, so far as it's
use IN cropping systems is con-
cerned, there are many favor
able reports concerning it. The
writer remember that the Iowa
Experiment Station reported
favorably on sweet clover as
pasture for pigs. and Wyoming
Experiment Station fed it to
lambs with good results. Vari-
Gus farmers from several parts
Of the United States have re- I
ported that they raised and fed |
sweet clover for roughage sue
cessfully.
1t is possible that the South
Dakota Experiment Station has
acquired as much definite data
on this seemingly useful plant as
any station. In the fall of 1911

BANKINcREFORMSUR URGED
Depositors Of Failed Union
Bank Make Suggestions.

Tho association Of the depos;tors Of the
failed Union Bank Of Brooklyn made pub
lio yesterday many recommendations for
changes In the state banking laws. These
recommendations which we're forwarded
to tho special commission appointed
by tho Legislature to make necessary
changes, were the result Of Investigations
by ]. Ellis Rohrer, chairman Of the asso-
ciation's executive committee, and others
First Of the important recommendations
Ia one which prohibits any bank from
guaranteeing the Indebtedness OF any one,
except in cases Of guaranteeing indorse-
ments and exchanges. It is also sug-
gested that while the present law pro-
vides for books Of account their form Is a
matter Of discretion. A standard form Of
accounts, doing away with loose leaf sys-
TENS and cards, Is prescribed to prevent
frauds.
Banks should be prohibited, It is held.
from holding any negotiable securities be-
longing to customers for their safe keep
ing. Loans made for customers or CORE
spondents should be carried on the state
ments Of the bank and not on the side,
where opportunity for theft is given.
Banks should be prohibited from know
ingly making loans for the purpose Of
purchasing its own stock either directly
or indirectly. In the case OF the Union
Bank It was found dummy notes were
carried among its assets, these notes rep
resenting shares Of stock.
A prohibition is suggested against the
practice Of making loans on second or
subsequent mortgages, and as for loans
on first mortgages. 1t is maintained they
should be for small percentage OF the
capital and surplus Of bank. The mort
cages should follow a recent appraisal.
with title policy.
Banks should be prohibited from carry
ing any part of their assets In the name
OF any persons or in any designation
other than the bank. This, II is believed,
would do away with the holding COM
panies, which are called source OF mem
ace TO the depositors.
Loans to executive officers should be
prohibited. and loans to directors only
made with the sanction OF majority OF
the directors at meeting Of the board OF
directors.
The savings departments" conducted
by state bands also are criticised. It is
suggested that they be discontinued In
banks OF discount. or that, II this is i'm
practical, the amount taken as savings &C
counts be limited to a certain percentage
OF the total deposits and assets OF highest
quality segregated to protect the savings.
An important recommendation Is that
bills discounted and time notes not paid
at maturity should not be carried on as
loans, but as past due paper. pending suit.
which should be brought within two
months. The merger Of banks should not
be permitted when the purpose is to boil
ster UP an insolvent institution by a
sound one.

head deck" continuous fore and aft, in
PRODUCING watertight decks or fats below
the bulkhead deck and fitting at side con-
tinuous or partially continuous fore and
aft watertight bulkheads. should be care
fully considered for each type Of vessel
involved.
Openings In main transverse and longi-
tudinal watertight bulkheads, except as
absolutely necessary for the trimming Of
coal. should be permitted only under ex-
ceptional conditions.
Watertight bulkhead doors should be
controlled from the bridge. and capable
of operation at the door; also. for water
tight doors in important watertight bulk
heals, independent mechanical operation
from the bulkhead deck is desirable.
All lights below the bulkhead deck
should be fixed. except under unusual
circumstances, due to type and size Of
vessel and location OF bulkhead deck.
In wake Of machinery spaces and other
large compartments of certain classes OF
large passenger vessels. double bottom or
it's equivalent should extend to the deck
above load water line.
It is also considered desirable that for
such vessels the double bottom should ex-
tend not only under the engine room. but
also under all main compartments for
ward and abaft engine and boiler spaces.
The committee comprised Rear Admiral
Washington l.. Caps, chief constructor,
United States Navy; Naval Constructor
David w. Taylor. United States Navy;
George Uhler. supervising inspector gen
eral, Steamboat Inspection Service, and

BEATS CRIPPLED MOTHER
Then Son Fights Policeman Who
Comes to Woman's Rescue.

Patrolman Cummings, Of the Bed
ford avenue station, williamsburg, was
compelled to put up q desperate fight
Yesterday to arrest Timothy Campbell,
who had. murderously assaulted his
crippled mother, Mrs. Bridget Camp
bell in their home. at No. 40 Grand
street.
Campbell is forty years old. and is
known to the police as a cop fighter"
II is said he has frequently beaten his
mother. and when he attacked her yes
terday he nearly gouged her right eye
out with the edge Of a broken dish.
When another son. Patrick, went to
her aid he was knocked down. The
police were notified and Cummings
went to the house.
The screams Of Mrs. Campbell had
aroused the neighborhood, and when
Cummings reached the scene he found
that Campbell had barricaded himself
in a room, leaving his mother insensi-
BILE on the floor. AS Cummings finally
battered down the door, Campbell
seized him by the throat and rushed
him out into the hall. There he made
a desperate attempt to throw the po-
liceman down a flight of stairs. Cum
mings chung to the railing until Pa
trolman Falvey appeared, and together
they subdued the prisoner
In spite Of the fact that Mrs. Camp
bell was painfully injured she refused
to go to the hospital. Campbell, when
taken to the police station, again re-
sisted the police before he was locked
up.
