where local experience indicates
that a good catch and a good crop
are practically certain, payment
of a higher price for the seed will
no doubt be justified.
A somewhat similar condition
exists with reference to hairy
vetch seed. There has been ap-
proximately six-tenths as much
seed since November I, 1913, as
in the year previous. This short
age, however, is partly counter
balanced by the increasing do
mestic production of hairy vetch
seed. Wherever the price of hairy
vetch seed is found to be exorbi-
tant, the same change in farm
practice is recommended as that
suggested in the case of crimson
clover.

FARM FACTS.

The need of the rural commu-
mites today is intelligent and
consecrated leadership.
The farm is the power house OF
all progress and the birthplace
of all that is noble.
The farm is the nursery of CIV
ilization and the parsonage of all
religious denominations.
The farmer asks no special
privileges. The business of
farming only wants the same OPP
portunities afforded other lines of
industry.
It is as much a duty of the
country pastor to exhort us to
own a home while on earth as it
is to inspire us to build a man.

The rural press, the pulpit and
the school are trinity of power
full influences that the farmer
must utilize to their fullest capac-
ity before he can occupy a COM
handing position in public af-
fairs.

was all imported at approximate
ly the same price as that sold
for 81 to $3.50 per bushel in the
early part of the season. The
present price, therefore, is re-
garded by the Department as
unwarranted from the standpoint
of the supply and the import
price of the seed. Some dealers
are continuing to sell at the form
er price, but these are exceptions.
If the present high price is
maintain ed, the specialists are
doubtful whether crimson clover
can be proftably used as green
manure crop for seeding in corn
or on vacant ground, or under
other conditions where the catch
is not reasonably certain. Under
such conditions they point out
that it will better practice to sow
rye this fall and use the differ
ence in price in adding nitrogen
to the soil in the form of nitrate
of soda or some other tightly
heterogeneous fertilizer. The rye
will afford a winter cover pre-
venting washing and teaching,
and can be plowed under in the
spring to add humus to the soil.
When crimson clover is being
used regularly as a winter cover
crop in orchard culture, or

CRIMSON CLOVER

Washington, D. C.-Prices for
imported crimson clover and
hairy vetch seed have recently
shown such a marked upward
tendency that specialists of the
Department of Agriculture fear
that the cost of these seed, of
which Europe is the chief source,
will interfere with the increasing
use of these leguminous crops.
In fact it is feared that the
prices of the seed of these le-
gumes may go so high as to make
it inadvisable to plant them this
year.
Before the present European
conditions arose, crimson clover
seed was selling at from 81 to SIS
per bushel. Up to August IS
there was a scarcity of this seed
in the United States, owing to
the fact that the receipts from
Europe were smaller than usual.
The prices then advanced to from
$3.50 to So per bushel. Since
that date importations have con-
tiued to arrive, until there is
now more imported seed avail
able for fall seeding than there
was in this country a year ago at
this time. This seed, according
to the Departments information,

OCTOBER 4 DESIGNATED
DAY FOR PEACE PRAYER

DAY FOR PEACE PRAYER
Washington, Sept. o-Presi-
dent Wilson today signed a
proclamation calling on the peo-
pie of the United States to
pray for peace in Europe.
The Presidents sets aside
Sunday, October 4, as a day Of
prayer.
President Wilson's proclama-
ton was as follows:
"By the President of the Unit
ed States of America.
"A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, Great nations of the
world have taken up arms
against one another and war now
draws millions of men into
battles whom the counsel of
statesmen have not been able to
save this terrible sacrifice; and
Whereas, In this as in all
things it is Our privilege and duty
to seek counsel and succor of
Almighty God, humbling our
selves before Him, confessing
our weakness and our lack of
any wisdom equal to these
things; and
Whereas, 1t is the special
wish and Ion ging of the people of
the United States, in prayer and
counsel and all friendliness, to
serve the cause of peace:
Therefore, / Woodrow Will
son, president of the United
States of America, do designate
Sunday, the fourth day of Oc-
tober next, day of prayer and
supplication, and do request all
God-fearing persons to repair on
that day to their places of wor-
ship and pray to Almighty
God, that, oeverrulin,g the
the things they cannot govern or
alter, taking pity on the nations
now in the throes of conflict, in
His mercy and goodness show
ing a way where men can see
none, He vouchsafe His children
healing peace again and restore
once more that concord among
men and nations without which
there can be neither happiness
nor true friendship, nor any
wholesome fruit of toll or thought
in the world ; praying also to this
end that He forgive us our sins,
our ignorance of His holy will,
our willfulness and many errors
and lead US in the paths of che
dience to places of vision and to
thoughts and counsels that purge
and make wise.
"In witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed the seal of the United States
to be affixed
Done at the city of Washing
ton this eight day of September.
in the year of our Lord one thou
sand nine hundred and fourteen,
and of the independence of the
United States of America the one
hundred and thirty-ninth.

that while it is not admissible to show

TWO QUITE COMMON ERRORS
vaIse of Application of oi to Wood is
Misunderstoo5--Real Working
Of Suction"

Nearly everyone thinks that oil viii
make anything slippery and that it
will decrease friction between any
two sliding surfaces. This is not so;
for oil poured on wood viii actually
increase friction, and it has been
found generally that anything used as

effect from the desired one. Wood fric-
ton win be decreased by soap or
graphite, because these are not abb
sorbed by wood
Another thing that is popular mis-
conception is the ordinary meaning
OF the word suction There is no such
thing as suction used in this way. A
so-called suction pump. for instance,
does not suck UP water; the water Is

Sure Enouah, Whv Not?

Sydney Buxton has some amusing
things to Say in his recently published
Book Of Fishing Stories"
Why" he asks, is it that day aftey
day a single salmon, and one only, In

fish covered by the fly there is each
day In one pool one fish more active,
more enterprising, more alert and
more intelligent than the rest? Or is
this particular fish, SO to speak, the
village idiot?"
Mr.. Buxton tells story OF fisher
man who, after a successful four-houH
tussle with large salmon, came back
in triumph and related the story to
his aunt. Like all anglers he laid
wearisome emphasis on the time 90
cupied and the muscular expenditure.
