ALFALFA A MONEY MAKER.
Success In Assured If Proper Drec-
tons Are Followed.
Bv A. d. HUGHES,


BY II. D. HUGHES,
Chief of bureau of farm crops, Iowa agri.
cultural experiment station
Success does not always come with
first attempts with alfalfa, but that
should not be discouraging. The per
cent of failures in securing stand of
alfalfa is not so great as with many
other crops commonly grown. Very
simple measures turn failure to sue
cess. For instance, in a number of
cases where the seeding of alfalfa
failed without incubation. the mere ad-
dltion Of 300 pounds per acre of soil
from an alfalfa field or from a sweet
clover patch brought success. After
incubation the soil produced a fine
growth Of alfalfa. In other sections
of the state, particularly in the south
central, the application of from 1,5OO
pounds to 5000 pounds of lime per acre
brought success when various other
trials without lime failed.
Perhaps the most important thing In
securing stand of alfalfa Is the
liberal use of manure even on soils
above the average in fertility. Its ap-
pication before blowing has increased
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1914-02-27

the yield Of alfalfa notably. On all
soils below the average the use of
manure has been absolutely essential
to securing a satisfactory stand and
yield.
In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying
seed for other crops, the highest priced
seed is usually the cheapest. In order
that the seed may all be sowed under
proper conditions for termination, 1t
should preferably be put in with an
ordinary grain drill, and in average soil
covered to a depth Of about one inch.
To distribute the seed uniformly it is
good plan to set the drill so as to SOW
only about ten pounds per acre and
then to go over the land twice-for ex-
ample, crossing the field north and
south first and then east and west.
There has been much discussion re-
garding the variety of alfalfa best
suited to Iowa conditions. Since the
per cent of winter killing has been
comparatively low and seed of the
harder varieties is very high priced
and also uncertain as to purity the
only variety which can well be recon-
mended for general use is that known
as the common American. This is
grown almost altogether in such states
as Kansas and Nebraska Seed grown
on nonirrlgated land. under conditions
so nearly as possible the same as are
found in Iowa, Is usually preferable.
No hay should be removed the year
that the alfalfa Is seeded. Spring
seeding may be clipped once or twice
when necessary to keep down the
weeds, but a good growth should cover
the ground when freezing weather
comes on in the fall.
Usually the alfalfa should be cut
when about one-tenth of the heads are
in bloom, which generally is early in
June, as this Is about the time that
the new shoots begin to appear at the
bottom of the stalk.
Much has been said regarding the
difficulty OF handling and curing the
first cutting. but reports from those
men in Iowa who have the largest
acreages state that alfalfa is not more
difficult to cure than red clover. A
number have said that it is easier to
cure.
Various methods of curing have been
used successfully.
In dry, sunny weather alfalfa cut
one afternoon may be raked the fol
lowing day, put in punches and much
/ of it stacked the same day.
1t Is important that as few of the
leaves as possible be lost. In order
to save the leaves many growers rake
| the alfalfa into windows as soon as
1t has wilted and before the leaves are
dry, bunch the hay with a rake as
soon as dry enough to stack and haul
It at once. This method also eliminates
the labor of cooking the hay, feature
which has been found desirable by a
number of men who handle large acre
ages.
Where one has much alfalfa hay to
cure a side delivery rake will be found
to be of the greatest value.
Where the hay is to be cooked 1t is
cut late in the afternoon or the morn
ing, raked before dinner and put In
cocks in the afternoon. Here it should
be left for two or three days, The use
Of hay covers assures one OF little
difficulty in curing even the first
cutting and produces hay of very
excellent quality.

READY TO FILE
SECOND WILL IN
RUNKLE ESTATE
Earlier Document Will Be SUBJ
mitted for Probate if Disputed
instrument Is Rejected.

If the will of William Runkle,
against which a caveat was filed by
his brother, Harry G. Runkle, Of
Plainfield. is denied probate by the
Orphans Court, another viii, exc
cuted in 1911, n year prior to the
last" will, will be filed by Ralph
Lum, attorney for George Mem. God
ley. in whose possession the instru-
ment is at present Mr.. Lum tried to
dence in the Orphans Court hearing
on the caveat yesterday. Judge Mar
tin refused to admit It.
The new will according 10 Mr..
Ium, is practically the same as the
disputed one, with the exception that
Mr.. Cooley in the former receives
$4,000 and Mr. Runkle's house in
Orange, while in the latter he re-
ceives only $4,000. The bequests to
charitable institutions are the same
In both instruments, he said Mr..
Runkle's estate was worth over
50, 100000. ?
The hearing of testimony was con-
cluded yesterday. All the evidence
being In. Judge Martin fixed April 20
as the date for argument After tes-
timony proving the will and other
testimony regarding the finding and
filing of it after Mr.. Runkle's death,
had been offered by the opponents.
the caveator put William j. 1<insley,
of Nutley, a handwriting expert OH
the stand He declared that several
kinds of inks and different brands of
pens had been used in making the
instrument In his opinion the first
sheet which was not fastened to the
others. was made at Il different time
than the succeeding sheets.
With the aid OF microscopes he
found that Randolph Rodman, of
South Orange, was originally named
as executor. His name was erased
and that of William e. r. Smith writ
ten over II, he said. He declared that
it was his opinion that the handWrit-
ing of the whole will was the same,
that of Mr.. Runkle.
When the earlier will was intro
duced, Judge Martin ruled in favor
of admitting it at first on the ground
that it was evidence because the Ca
veat was against ANY and alp pa
pers purporting to be the last will
of the testator. Objection by ex-
Governor Griggs, however, caused
him TO reverse his ruling and deny
it's admittance.

DECLARES CITY IS
UNPREPARED FOR
FEVER EPIDEMIC
Dr.. WorI, of Health Dept, AS
serts Contagious Wards
Are Overcrowded Now.

Because of the lack of hospital
facilities this city would be greatly
handicapped in fighting an epidemic
of scarlet fever, such as is prevailing
in South Jersey, DIR. e. E. Worl. of
the Board of Health contagious dis
ease department, said today. The
scar,et fever epidemic Is said to have
started in Florence, Burlington county.
1t has worked northward to New
Brunswick. twenty-five miles from
Newark. Many towns are affected.
DR.. Worl said that the contagious
wards of the City Hospital were over
crowded now. He explained there is
great need of further accommoda-
tions at the Soho Isolation Hospital,
i'm order to have the department sue
cessfully prevent the spread of cOnta-
gious diseases.
There We're twice as many cases of
scarlet fever in Newark last month
than there We're during March. 1918
The physician pointed out the need
of an entirely new ward in the hos
pital at Soho, to be known as the
mixed diseases ward.
Very often patients have more than
one contagious disease. and we are at
a loss where to put them he said.
IF a patient has scarlet fever and
chickenpoX. it is always a puzzle to
determine which ward the patient
should be assigned to, in order to pre-
vent other patients from catching a
second disease. A ward for the eXclu-
sive use of patients with mixed dis
eases would answer this problem"
DIR. Worl called attention to the fact
hpt hi III 70
population. Here scarlet fever would
multiply rapidly, If it once took hold.
He said the only way to prevent the
rapid spread of the disease in the
tenements would be to isolate the af-
fected person in some hospital At
this time this would be impossible, be-
cause the hospital facilities are not
adequate to furnish the necessary ac-
commodations.
1t was asserted by DR.. Worl that
there was little danger of the South
Jersey epidemic reaching this city.
He pointed out that there is always a
number of cases in the city. These
are Immediately quarantined, or sent
TO the hospitals.
The only sure way to wipe out the
disease, DIR. Worl declared, was to
send every patient TO a hospital. He
admitted there is q large number of
cases in the city now. Last month
there were only five deaths from this
disease. The fatality rate was as low
as 3 per cent These figures do not
include the de tbs at Soho. In Mach.
1913. there were 113 cases of scar.et
fever, as against 22b last month.
Warm weather would help the
health departmspt-tight Tie disease, il
it struck Newark, DR.. Worl claims,
He said that. ae a rule. cases of scar
let fever disappear when the tent err
ature reaches 30 degrees. and that
they seldom increase when the tenn
perature is over Go.

of Deputy Chief NJ. P. A. McDermitt
and of Frank NJ and James r. Nc
Dermitt, well-known local lawyers,

blood poisoning, which developed from
a pin jab in the leg.
Mrs. Proschour ran a pin into her
leg just below the knee while doing
housework at her home eight days
ago. She thought nothing of the
wound at the time. In a few days
blood poisoning, which superinduced
erysipelas, set in. She died shortly
after o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Proschour was born in New
ark forty-one years ago, and was the
only daughter of the late William P.
McDermitt, a former tax assessor,
and Rosa c. Herman McDermitt.

STRUCK BY ERIE
TRAIN, MAY DIE
James Simon, Teamster, Once
Prosperous, Injured on Tracks
Near Great Notch.

James Simon, a teamster of Upper
Montclair, while walking on the
ttGcks, was hit by a train on the
Greenwood Lake branch of the Erie
railroad west of the Great Notch
station at 8 o'clock this morning.
The injured man was picked up un-
conscious by the train crew and
where a nambulance from the Noun
tainside Hospital was in waiting. At
the hospital it was found that the
man had sustained a bad fracture
of the skull and little hopes for his
recovery are entertained.
His identity was discovered through
a receipted bill found in his pocket,
showing that he had paid a bill a
few days ago to Thomas Wood, of
Montclair, for feed. For nearly a
quarter of century, Simon had
owned team and hauled stone from
the Osborne Il Marselles Company
quarries at Upper Montclair. The
company allowed him to live in one
of its buildings, where he cooked his
meals also.
Mr.. Osborne says that for several
months Simon has been acting queer
ly and a month ago sold his team of
horses and wagon. Last night the
watchman at the quarries was sur
prised to see the man jump out
through a window Of his room onto q
shed roof and yell. The watchman
secured a ladder and took the man
down from the roof. He then went to
his room, dressed and left the COM
pany's grounds. 1t is not known
whether he placed himself in front Of
the train or not.
Mr.. Osborne sayh that Simon was
an Englishman of good birth, but
that betting on horses was the cause
of his downfall. He continued bet
ting in THIS country, being unable to
wean himself from it. He is about
fifty-two years old, and has no rela-
tives in this country, as far as known.
He is spoken well of by his acquaint-
nncea.

by Seabright fisherman who risked
his life in an effort to make a living
