CLOVER SEED GROWING In
WESTERN WASHINGTON.

Wednesday of last week there was
held at Ferndale meeting destined
to be of vast influence to farmers OF
Western Washington.
l.. w. Fluharty, representative OF
National Department of Agriculture,
for Washington, Idaho and Oregon,
stoke on clover seed growing.
Instead of giving full report Of the
address, the following resume of con
clusions reached will be shorter and
quite as instructive.
Profitableness. Red Glover will
yield six to ten (rarely twelve) bush
els, worth according to quality. 81 to
$12. Purity is quite as important as
quantity. In 1912 farmers near Tan
gent, Oregon, received $50 to $125 per
acre for clover seed.
Variety. Where there is sorrel;
timothy, velvet grass, or other small
seeded plants alsike should not be
tried until land is cleaned up; but
farmers should confine their attention
to red clover. although it is less profit
s;,'e than alsike.
Effect on Soil. Glover, like peas
adds about 1875 lbs. of nitrogen to the
soil (gathered from the air. in root
l.odules. The clover straw Is worth
about as much as timothy per ton fol
feed. Is good fc- sheep, growing
stock. or for cows, when plenty of sue
culent feed and a reasonable grain ra
ton is provided.
Spring Work. All spring work is
saved, except that the clover field
must be clipped just as the leaf stalk
starts. First the leaves appear. stand
ing singly on long stems. Then wher
the seed stalk starts it must be clipped
(mOwed) at once. Two weeks delay
will cut down crop one-half. This Is
the most important item of the year
Peas for Nurse Crop. The bes
nurse crop for clover is peas; an!
short-vined variety. Peas enrich the
soil, filling it with ready-to-be-uset
nitrogen for the young clover PLAN!
($25 worth per acre); and also pea:
fall" month before other grains art
ready to be cut, thus partially expos
| ing the young clover to the sun, ant
giving that much of start. Next il
order are barley, oats, while wheat |!

and JOlnter, tnus covering all grass

Cultivated Crops. To clean land the
farmers must either summer fallow or
raise cultivated crops such as pota'
toes, corn. roots, etc. When raising
these crops land must be hOed if nee
essary, for it must be kept absolutely
clean.
Effect on Stock Raising. Some far
mers will keep less cows than at pres
ent as they will use part of their land
for clover seed. Other farmers keep
stock to eat the spring clippings and
the clover straw. The straw will run
one to two tons per acre, and as the
clover is cut when the heads are
brown dead back to the first leaf
only the straw is worth about as
much as timothy hay. Young stock ];
sheep or goats will live on it. Cows
should have, with clover straw, some
succulent food as roots or ensilage,
and reasonable grain ration.
Two Crops. Where clover does not
"heave," two crops can be cut from
one sowing. This is purely a local
matter. Good draining helps.
Fall Pasture. Glover will be clipped
the last of May or first of June; cut
for seed say August Is depends on
season. and then it may be pastured
in the fall: but not too close. A coat
of dead leaves prevents heaving.
Expense. Hulling costs about 81 to
$125 per bushel. Clipping, cutting;
stacking can be figured at local prices.
Sacks (seamless) cost more per sack
than gunnysacks for grain, but less
are needed. Hauling to market is a
trifie. The gain in root nitrogen
the clippins and the straw will pay
all expenses and rent, unless on land
very near a large city. The cash re-
turns (aside from the above items)
will be approximately twice as much
as from crop of oats.
Peas for Stock. Peas are worth
about twice as much, acre for acre, as
crop, farmers should plan to feed peas
to hogs, cows or chickens, thus build.
ing up their soil fertility.
Other Crops. Glover should not be
made the sole crop; but should be
fitted into system; good plan would
be: twO-fifths in peas, with clover
seeded in spring with CROP: two
fifths in clover (sOme for seed, some
for pasture; some for hay: all seeded
with peas the previous year,; One-fifth
in a closely cultivated crop. This plan
is for farm where but one crop of
clover is taken. Where clover does
not heave, the farmer can have less
peas and some one year old clover,
some two year old clover. Every far
mer must work out his own system but
clover and peas are the most profit
able crops for Western Washington
farmers. whether dairymen, hog rails
ers. or selling clover seed instead of
oats and other grains.
Canadian Thistles and Blue Grass.
These two bad weeds may be killed
by summer following: greatly retard.
ed by clover, which tends to weaken
them, and sometimes will smother
them out entirely. AS clover is cut
earlier than grain. it permits early
fall plowing. which discourages all
sorts of noxious weeds.

May Make Starch Of Potatoes.

Ridgefield.-John +. Griffith. local
farmer, is gathering and presenting
actual facts regarding the manufac-
ture of starch from potatoes. 1t is
proposed that a mill be run on the
same plan as the flour mill, the farm
ers bringing their potatoes to mill and
a good price in the market. In pay
ment for reducing the potatoes to
starch the factory would RETAIN rea.
sonable amount of the product for its
pay. This proposition is being dis.
cussed and further developments are
expected.

in the discharge of his duties in
south Washington years ago. He
had his first police experience in

until he was placed in charge of the

considered one of the most import

Born in Washington. he was educa-

Doyle has succeeded SO well in these
many roles that after a recent shift
he has been returned to the L street

average shoTtstop and on account De
his fine wing he is able 20 make mary
assists which would not be attempted
by nine out of ten shortfielders, even IL
they made the given stop.
In Saturdays game Weaver hurt his
ankle going into second base, and re-
tired from the game However, 1t was
learned from headquarters this morn
ing that he would be back at the stand
when the afternoon session at Shibe
Park began.
Buck was hurt some time ago, and
until Saturday had not been in the line
up for a few days. He was afraid Of
permanently injuring his ankle IL he
continued to play Saturday after he
was hurt; consequently, he did not take
the chance until he could get 1t fixed
up by his physician.
Although he has now been hurt twice
this year, Weaver is not an easy man
10 put out of the game. That Is shown
by his record of 1918, when he worked
in Isl games for the White Sox, more
contests than any other shortstop
played, with the exception of Owen
Bush, of Detroit, who took part in 1o2
trays.
Weaver's fielding record was .ses last
season, and his batting average was
-272. He was Just three points behind
Jack Barry in hitting, but tNenty-seven
points behind his PAGER in fielding.
To be considered me best and next
best shortstops in the American League
is something for which Barry and
WcaN er may justly feel proud. There
isn't q club on the circuit which hasn't
fTsl-class performer at short except
ST. Louis. The Browns have old Bobby
Wallace yet, but he isn't what he was
once, and is not able to play through a
season. He is still a great man to have
on q ball club, but as a regular man he
cannot be counted at all. Hickey is
now trying cut Wares at short, but he
hasn't shown anything that would
startle the natives Of st. Louis suffi-
cientlS TO get their minds OFF of the
Federal League.
The other shortstops IN the American
League who are playing good ball this
season are Mcbride, Washington:
Jai,vrin, of Boston; Olson, Cleveland; !;
