SOWING ALFALFA.

AS alfalfa is coming crop on the
prairie the following information which
is sent out from the Washington State
college in bulletin, may be helpful to
our farmer readers, as the suggestions
are for the growing of alfalfa where
there is no irrigation and where condi.
lions are the same as here.
!. Secure high grade seed, dry land
seed If available, but pure seed of high
vitality in any event. If in doubt send
sample to the department of botany,
state college, Pullman. Wash, for ex.
animation. before purchasing.
= 10 not attempt to seed in fields
that need under drainage.
s. In localities with less than is
inches of rainfall seed on well pre-
pared summer fallow. When the rain
fali exceeds Is inches, pillow deep in the
fall and leave rough. Next best, pillow
as early as possible in the spring, har-
rowing at once.
Harrow fall plowed land as early as
possible in the spring to hold moisture
and prevent crusting and baking.
Work either fallow or spring plowed
land four or six weeks before seeding
to clear out the weeds, warm the soil.
and promote the development of avail
able plant food. thus providing condi-
tons for quick, vigorous start of
alfalfa.
4. If alfalfa has never been grown
IN the locality, innoculate the soil by
scattering and narrowing about 100
pounds to the acre of soil transported
from an old alfalfa field, or inoculate
seed with pure culture. This may be
secured with directions for use from
the bureau of plant industry, Washing
ton, D.. c.
.. Seed during May earlier, if ON
summer fallow in semi arid region.
Seed with a drill, set to run shallow.
six to eight pounds per acre, stopping
up half or two-thirds of holes seeding
in semi-arid region.
6. Seed without nurse crops, Elk
cellent stands have been secured with
nurse crop, but results are too I'M
certain.
Z. Do not practice clipping young
alfalfa If weeds are bad, NOW with
cutter bar set high. Do not pasture
until alfalfa has become well estab-
lished.
8. Cultivate each spring as soon as
the soil is fit to work, using tool best
adapted to local soil. If seeded in rows
in semi-arid region far enought apart
to admit cultivator, cultivate whenever
weeds or the soil condition would
justify the cultivation of any titled
crop.
9. Danger of bloat in pasturing may
be reduced (a) by seeding orchard grass
with alfalfa; CD never changing sud
denly to alfalfa from scant pasture; (c)
by first turning onto alfalfa when stock
has been given full feed, keeping stock
on alfalfa constantly after first turn
ing them in; (d) by providing some
dry hay or other supplementary feed.
10. Keep stock off the alfalfa dur
ing the winter.
IL. Do not pasture too late in the
fall or too early in the spring, nor too
close at any time. Give the alfalfa
chance to breathe.

sion Bulletin No. |. on "Growing

Is After the Big Men.
Reports from the coast indicate
that Willie Richie, after he defends
his lightweight title against Harlem
Tommy Murphy, will hike eastward
for a couple of bouts in Milwaukee,
then continuing on to New York,
where he will annex some coin in
several teh-round bouts in that city
against some of the eastern crop of
135-pounders.
All of this hinges on the result of
the Ritchie-Murphy battle. If Willie
loses he will not be a champion, and
therefore not drawing card. Rit-
chic, however, is not figuring on los
ing. The articles of agreement are
in his favor, and Murphy, after years
of effort to get a match for the title,
is apparently doomed to be turned
back.
Already Charlie White is demand
ing a match with Richie the next
time he leaves the state of California.
In this case, also, the weight will be
made to suit Richie, and White will
work under handicap. Richie will
not battle at less than 135 pounds
the afternoon of fight, and White
scales under $50. He cannot give
away this much weight to a man of
Ritchie's caliber and expect to win.
Leach Cross is still on the coast,
where he tried to land>a go with Joe
Rivers, following the knockout he
handed Bud Anderson New Years.
The Mexican turned the New Yorker
down, and Cross will probably start
East in a few days.
He must pass through Chicago,
and it would be good business for
Whites hackers to hook him up with
Cross beforet ackling Ritchie, if they
sincerely believe their man is top
liner. Cross is a good, tough lad,
possessed of cleverness and wal
lop, and victory over him would

Ready to Join Chifeds.
No longer are rumors about major
leaguers signing with the Federals
treated like the ordinary winter
league pop-eyed dreams. In the past
the reports have preceded the con-
summation of some big deals by only
a few days.
For this reason the story that Ed
Konetchy is seriously considering a
hop to the Federals is not thrown in
the waste basket. Honey has been
traded to Pittsburgh by St. Louis,
but is said to be dissatisfied, as he
wanted to go to New York, where
he thought he would have a better
chance Of cutting in on the post
esason money.
Konetchy has received a contract
from Pittsburgh, but it is still in his
pocket, unsigned The secretary of
the Pittsburgh Feds has offered to bet
a sporting writer of that city $1,000
that oKney does not sign the con-
tract.
If Konetchy does decide to jump he
will probably come to Chicago, giving
Joe Tinker a star to peg at on the
first stop. Honey himself would
neither deny nor confirm the report
that he would become a Fed. He did
make the statement that something
startling would be announced in a
few days.
The addition of Konetchy would
not only strengthen the local Feds,
and make them a strong drawing
card, but it would give the league in
creased prestige among the players.

the newcomers must first get the

sent word to his brother in Weeks

YOUTHFUL pEPRAvITY.
Boy IL Years Old 10 Found Guilty of
Larceny.

Mason Sawin, a youngster of IL
summers who is evidently allowed to
pursue his search for knowledge
about the city streets instead of
through the proper course by attend
ing school, was before the municipal
court Tuesday morning to answer to
a charge of larceny. That is pretty
young for boy to start on a career
of crime but that the charge was
true one was shown by the admission
of the boy that he stole the article
for which he was arrested.
Young Sawin's appearance was due
to the fact that late Monday after
noon while drifting around the steam
boat wharf he found his way into the
office and seeing Capt. James Orrick' s
watch lying on the desk he decided to
appropriate it. His next move was to
take the watch to a second hand
store on Cony street, where he dis
| posed of the timepiece for rs cents,
after which he proceeded to have a
good time.
The loss of the watch was reported
to the police and within a few hours
! the watch was recovered The boy
was also located at one of the moving
picture theaters and was taken over to
the police station where to Deputy
Marshal Choate he made clean
breast of the whole affair, even to
giving that officer a detailed account
of how he had spent the money he re-
| ceived for the watch. Here is the
| itenized account as given to the dep
uty marshal: Beans and coffee, Is
cents; moving pictures, 10 cents; ice
cream, 5 cents; candy, cents; cigar
cites, 8 cents; moving picture maya
zine. cents; Bennett boy, 10 cents
this was in payment OF temporary
loan: paper, 1 cent; loaned, cents;
two cream puffs, S cents, leaving a
cash balance of cents.
When arraigned before the court the
youngster was unconcerned and ad-
mitted his guilt, and was sentenced
to the State School for Boys, but the
execution of the sentence was sus-
pended. 1t having been learned that
the boy was addicted to truancy and
to smoking cigarettes he was by the
court ordered to go to school and to
abandon the cigarette habit. and the
future disposition of his case will de-
pend very much upon how he con-
ducts himself.
