alfalfa In the spring of 1910. This
same piece was seeded again in 1911,
about is pounds Of seed to the acre.
When about two inches high heavy
wind storm came up one day and cut
the plants OF and blew the loose dirt
away, over about one-half Of the Held,
and as result It got to be rather thin.
On the other half, the alfalfa was pro
tected by the grove and buildings and
got to be almost too thick ! cut all
of It once In 1911, and let the clippings
lie on the ground. When the frost
came in the fall it had grown again TO
be about 10 or II inches.
In 1912, / cut this field on June 2sth
(which was too late), and on Aug l2th
and again on Sept. 18th, but the last
cutting was once too many times as
the winter came early and the alfalfa
did not grow any more. 1t was left
unprotected and the greater part OF
the plants died during the winter. This
last spring plcwed 1t rather late and
seeded to barley and cut a good crop
the other day.

County School Notes.

The clerks elect of the various
school districts are forwarding
their Bond and Oath to the county
auditor very promptly for the
most part. The county auditor
informs us that they are still q few
who have not as yet attended to
this matter. We viii wager the
assertion that the districts who
are tagging in this matter are also
slow in attending to other feature
Of their school business.
Henry Wormsbecker, treasurer
Of Vesper School District No. 66
was pleasant caller this week.
1t gives us great deal Of salts
faction as we read the locals in the
various county papers and find the
names of so many of our teachers
who have gone to various parts of
the state and nation to enroll for
work in summer school.
We were talking with q man
the other day upon the subject OF
school standards. He volunteered
the suggestion that the average
community did not maintain q
poor school because they wanted
that kind of q school, but rather
because the field of their expert
ence did not point out to them the
advantages to be, gained by intro
ducing improvements in their
school management
Il has been said that a nine
months term costs in taxation, one
cent per acre more than an eight
months term. We have never
looked into the truthfulness of
such statement, but if it is true,
then more is the pity.

MISSISSIPPI AND COASTAL WORN.

M ANY persons share with Representative }. Hamp-
ton Moore. president OF the Atlantic Deeper
waterways Association. the opinion that the Federal
Governments flood prevention work in the Mississippi
river valley should not be done with money needed
TOT regular river and narbor improvement work for
the benefit of coastal commerce and navigation They
seem 10 feel that tho dood prevention work should
De ciossod as river and hmbor Improvement work ia
IT'S broad scnso bot that it should ho ciassed as spe-
e" work more largely for the benefit OF land owners
and land traffic rather than for navigation.
There is mo- question tiat Americans who live in the
coastal States aympathzc deeply with those who live
n The Mississippi valley and whose lives properties
are mcnacod by the lack of food protection that Il Is
proposed The Federal Government and the states in
the menaced district shall supply Nor are the Amer
leans who live IN the coastal States avorse to the
Mississippi valley folk receiving from the Federal
Government an the financial aid TO which they are en-
titled What they object to is having the river and
harbor appropriations for the coastal districts cut by
many millions TO make fund for Mississippi flood
prevention and land reclamation work
AS Representative Moore says commerce and nayi-
cation creative and revenue producing elements
in our domestic and political economy They cannot
Doe dispensed with without working incacuable harm
70 our nation. II follows therefore. that adequate
funds should be apart for their development and
that those funds should be dedicated to such uses
end not diverted to other uses
Mr.. Moore says quite truly that the prevention Of
fed fairly rve- and harbor directly related
to commerce and navigation. He insists they should
be treated separately and with different view to
completion. The Philadelphia Congressman adds that
floods are periodical and may be anticipated by
Congress but commerce is perpetual and Congress can
readily estimate with respect to Il. If in ifs wisdom
consress should appropriate S6OOOOOo0, as is now
proposed ry engineers, TO held the OF tho
Mssssip I'm leasn, 20 haps the country would approve
it. The specific purpose of the appropriation would
be understood But Congress continues heretofore
and especially since 1879 10 appropriate moderate
in River and Harbor bills for commerce and nav
igaton 10 flood protection. Is patent that Eastern
commercial waterways viii continue be neglected
and that the food problem Of the Mississippi will con-
nue TO eat up the nations river and revenues
without securing the results Mississippi valley
friends striving for We certainly hope the
day when the iutractable waters OF the Mississippi
the Ohio and the Missouri may be safety harnessed
up 70 the uses Of commerce and navigation, but we
do protest that worthy Eastern projects should not
DE suspended until that desirable object is attained"
That Is reasonable practical and a sympathetc
view TO take OF the matter and t fail to be
shared by large majority OF the thinking men in
the stal districts
