LEAVE GOOD GROWTH TO
PROTECT THROUGH WINTER
Lost First Seeding by Using Nurse
Crop-annot Afford to Feed Sill
age Without Alfalfa to Milk
Cows.

BY E. c. MILLER. Crookston, Minn.
l sowed my first seed in 1911, which
l lost on account of dry weather and
heavy nurse crop of barley. which
grew with it. Next year l sowed the
same two acres, With 1S pounds per
acre. Seed cost $500 per hundred,
laid down here and was all pure seed.
l got fine stand and did not cut
till in the fall when just clipped the
tops of alfalfa and some weeds which
had come up in it. l wanted all this
growth for a mulch for fear it might
winter kill. 1t came through the win
ter in fine shape and was the first of
any grass to show this spring / cut
about two tons July 1st, and August
LIST I cut fine crop of about one and
one-half tons on the two acres, and
think can get one and one-half tons
again and still leave enough for win
ter covering.
/ expect to SOW II acres next spring
as we think we cannot afford to milk
COWS and feed silage without alfalfa.
l might say about cutting the first
crop-my father has three acres sown
same time as mine that he cut twice
the first year-fields less than one
half mile apart, and about the only
difference we could see was that his
was a little later starting in spring
and possibly not quite as thick. But
l would urge leaving a fairly good
covering in the fall to protect the
crowns OF plants from freezing and
thawing too much in the spring.

clip from last week issue of the

statistics of Timber Lake were
temporarily increased by the arriv-
al by train of many Indians, from
Flandreau. Sisseton and other
points. some of whom travelled
hundreds of miles to meet and
greet old friends of the Cheyenne
River reservation.
Gas a spectacle, the hundreds
OF tents glistening on the plains,
and the thousands of people in pic
turesqe dress, will be wonderful,
and the appreciation of the peace
and hope which the Gospel has
brot to these Indians will be
great object lesson.
''The Convocation will be pre-
sided over by the Rt. Rev. George
Biller Jr. DID. bishop of So. Dako-
ia, assisted by the. Rev. DIR. Ash

Speaker Before Secular League.

In an address before the Washington
Secular League at Pythians Temple yes
terday afternoon on The Usurpation of
the Veto Power by the United States Su-

severely arraiEned the function exercised
by the Supreme Court Of passing upon

and pronounced It a clear usurpation
without warrant in the Constitution.
He contended that this usurped power
has been and continues to be used to the
detriment OF democracy and the welfare
OF the people as a whole. By the exercise
OF this power the Supreme Court, the
speaker declared, Is the bulwark and
citadel Of special privilege The speaker
supported his contentious by an able his
torical review of the Supreme Court and
the assertion and exercise of the veto
power.
Mr.. Coleman held that this power could
De taken away. and should be taken

Him and blessed them. We enter into
our Lord's work as we see those little
lives that hold In their tiny hands the
great tomorrow. and preempt them for
our Lords service. There is no sweeter,
larger work In all the world. It is the
call for the young men and young women
OF America today, many of them far from
the home roof-for US to be brother or
sister to the stranger within our city
and do the Christlike work for them.
And we are responsible too for the
men and women Of mature age. The Sun

the little children and few pious
women; it means manhood and woman
hood, those who bear the heat and bur
den Of the day, to give to them the truth
that makes them free. and shall keep
them from sin. This work extends into
the various fields OF activity where men
and women are toiling today, and it Is
