Drainage must be good. Alfalfa re-
quires much more complete drainage
than other farm crops. Land inclined
to be wet and springy in winter and
early spring, although dry enough dur
Ing the growing season to produce
good crops of corn, wheat, oats and
grass, is not drained well enough for
alfalfa On such land alfalfa is sure
to be killed out sooner or later by
heaving due to the frequent freezing
and thawing so common some seasons.
Lining for alfalfa is absolutely
necessary on practically all Maryland
soils, even In the natural lime Stone
sections. 1t makes little or no differ
ence what kind of lime is used If the
proper amount Of each is applied. 1t
is a question of cost and ease of hand
ing rather than the effect upon the

T amount Of lime to use under
aver ge conditions is one ton per acre
Of caustic lime, that is burnt stone OF
lump lime, ground lime or burnt oyster
shells. Hydrated lime should be used
at the rate of 1900 to 2.700 pounds
and ground lime stone or ground oyster
shells should be applied at the rate Of
$500 pounds to Q tons per acre.
The best time to apply lime is the
season before sowing the alfalfa. If.
however, this is not convenient or i'm
practical. it may be applied just be

Formation q Lona Island.

According to geologists. Long Island
affords particularly clear evidence as
to the history Of to. great continental
ice sheet which covered the northern
states many thousand years ago. The
southern margin of this great Ice sheet
extended to Long island. 1t is said. and
remained there for long time, depos-
iting a thick body OF intermixed bowl
ders. sand and clay as terminal mo-
raine. which Is now the backbone Of
the island. The ice moved southwark
and brought these materials from the
north. dropping them at its melting
edge. This peculiar method Of deposi-
tion developed very peculiar topog-
rapny, consisting Of an irregular aggre-
cation Of hummocks and hollows.
which have produced the many beau
tiful details Of configuration that make
the higher parts OF Long Island SO at
tractiye to lovers of nature. The most
notable Of these hollows in the mo-
rainaI ridge is the, one holding the pic
turesque Lake Ronkonkoma, which
Hes in depression fifty feet below the
surrounding ridges. Several other sim
liar pits are eighty to eighty-ive feet
deep. and Several of the large. irregu-

NICHOLAS sCHMITz.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Fer number Of years the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Station
has been testing alfalfa on the various
soil types Of the State now under culti-
vation These tests, together with
the successful experience of many
farmers, have proven beyond doubt,
that under favorable conditions alfalfa
can be grown successfully on prac-
tically all soils Of the State
No soil. regardless of type or loca-
ton In the State, however, will pro-
duce fair crops Of alfalfa unless it is
fertile; producing at least 40 to so
bushels Cor 10 barre1sl Of corn per
acre in q normal season. No amount
of fertilizer applied either before or
after seeding will make up for poor
land at the start. Moreover. starting
alfalfa under such conditions is indeed
very expensive. If the land is poor;
it is far better to wait few years and
grow. artilizing crops such as COW
peas mson clover, soy beans and
red u gr In the rotation before each
money crop. If manure Is available,
the more used the better. IN fact, the
supply Of organic matter Is very inn
portant factor in the production of
alfalfa. 1t is seldom that land very

This is a species Of jeIlyfish, found

The part OF the fish under the water

across. The fish can raise or lower
this sail at will. Wise sailors let this

the power of stinging. the results Of

Be Sure You Have One Handy II You
Take Trip TO italy.
The following extracts from an ar
ticle in the Woman's Home Companion
explains why no one should travel in
Italy without a rope:
'sEet me urge the tourist not to fail
to provide himself with stout rope
piece of clothesline is excellent
with which to tie up the trunk which
is to go into the Italian baggage car
If you do not you may miss many
train connections It is trick Of the
canny Italian baggage master
When you go to check or register
your trunk at the railway station this
crafty robber will try to stick his
fingers under the lock or under the
staples at the sides. Then he viii
shrug his shoulders and tell you bland
ly that he cannot accept the trunk for
registration. as it is not fastened se-
curely enough and If the baggageman
stole any of your effects while en-
route the railroad would be resp0n-
sible. The trunk must be tied with a
rope and sealed. he viii tell you.
"You have no time to go rope hunt
ing. You have to buy rope from
him. He charges you what he thinks
he can make you pay. The price de-
pends on how many minutes you stiIl
have to catch your train. Then he
clips on a little leaden tag where the
rope is knotted, and your trunk is OFF,
cially sealed 1t is a very serious Of
fense to break this seal
'.Now. then. If your trunk is roped
when it reaches the hands OF the boss
baggageman he is required at your re-
quest and upon payment Of cents
to affix the official seal. So, as last
word. don't forget the rope!"

SPRAY FoR ASPARAGUS BEETLE

There are two paragus beetles
one red, With black spots, and the
other black with yellow stripes, that
infest asparagus. They deposit theiI
eggs along the stalks. The larva.
small, dirty appearing grubs eat the
shoots. There is little or nothing thai
can be done to prevent injury when
the beetles are present in numbers.
However, the chances Of injury from
this source can be greatly reduced BY
few simple methods. employed after

SECOND SPRAY FOR COOLING
MOTH.
T. b. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The second brood Of the codlins
moth appears about July LIST. Unless
the first spraying. when the bloom fell
was exceedingly thorough, a spraying
with arsenate Of lead should be applied
at this time.
More important though than the
aEsenate Of lead treatment for the
Cooling Moth is the application Of
Bordeaux mixture to prevent Bitter
Rot and other diseases developing
when the fruit is maturing.
The combination spray recommended
for this time is:
Bordeaux Mixture and Arsenate Of
Lead:
Copper Sulphate, lbs.
Lime (Burned), 5 lbs.
Water, 30 gals.
Arsenate OF lead, 2 lbs.
The spray solution is cheap, and it
only requires a little extra pains tc

GERMAN REPORTS
 OF F|END|sH CRIMES
Slaughter of an Aged Woman by
 Two Youths

BERLIN. May S,.-Another terrible example of callous indifference to hu- man life came to light at murder trial which finished at Cologne shortly after midnight. The prisoners, who are both youths, hired a room from a woman of 8 with the express intention of killing and robbing her. When they had made all their preparations for the crime she was called in on some preteXt, and while one of them played the accor- dion to drown the report of the revol- Yer the other shot her dead.
 They then went off together to spend her money at a dance. Before this one of them had taken another room and addressed a small, sum of money to himself through the post, in the hope of being able to kill and rob the messenger who delivered it. In this case the plan was frustrated by the suspicious of the landlady. The actual murderer was sentenced to death and his occomplice to twelve years penal servitude
 The police here are at present in vestigating confession of double murder made by a soldier who states that a year ago. while in Berlin, he persuaded a woman of the unfortunate class to entice a man out to the Grune- wald. big forest on the outskirts of the city. Here he himself and his ac- complice attacked the unsuspecting victim and killed him and buried the body. Later the self-accused and the woman migrated to Metz Here they quarreled, and she threatened him with exposure, whereupon, seizing an op- portunity when her attention was turned in another direction. he shot her through the head. Her body. too, he buried.
