That Frederick County. queen Of

It's hoard Of agricultural wealth In the
successful cultivation OF alfalfa is not
only possibility but nearly accom-
plished fact. Like in most Of the sea-
board States. sporadic attempts to grow
this much priced legume has been made
in Maryland during the past decade
with but moderate success. Recent
scientific development including a
closer study Of the plant and its nature
has slowly unfolded the secret Of It's
successful cultivation that when applied

agricultural wealth.
INCUBATION THE KEYNOTE.
Alfalfa like its fist cousin, clover, IS
richly heterogeneous, absorbing nitro
gen from the air and transmitting this
valuable fertilizing element to the soil
through innumerabIe tiny nodules on
the roots. To insure a successful
stand, new soil should be inoculated
with soil from which alfalfa has ben
rowu, 800 to 400 lbs per acre spread
broadcast and thoroughly narrowed in
Lime is also valuable adjunct both
as fertilizer and crop snstainer. In
oculation il found, however. to be the
real key to successful stand and is
invariably practiced among the rich
dairy counties of New York and Penn
sylvania where previous to this prac-
tice, only Indifferent success was at
tanned.

THE HARVEST.
Once a good stand is secured the crop
is handled like clover, averaging three
cuttings a year. The first cut in June

unsettled weather and its high percen-
tage of moisture, 1t is often found
necessary to cure in cocks with canvas
covers.
When properly cured it is of deli

1t is sincerely to be hoped Western
Maryland farmers will spare no effort
in making an earnest attempt to the
universal adoption of alfalfa that
means so much to not only themselves
and their State but to the whole eoun-

advised his client to return to Jeffer-

and the question c. jurisdiction could
be settled later
As a United States officer, Chap
man, according to Mr. Johnson, can
only be tried IN the federal courts

Can Vote in November.

Oklahoma City, July 29.-When the
state supreme court announced Tues.
day that it would decide the day be-
fore the primary whether it hal pow
er to keep the West legislative ard
judicial constitutional amendments off
the primary ballot, it said the word
which prevented the people from vot.
ing on the measures before next No
vember.
Although the court has held spe'
officially in the past, that 1t had no
power to prevent an initiative meas
ure from going to a vote because of
the fact that If adopted it might be
unconstitutional, the three judges sit
ting on the West amendments de-
clared that they could not determine
for a week, whether their opinion of
the law was still the same.
One of the measures affected the
entire judicial system of the state,
including the supreme court, along
lines for which there has been agita-
ton for several years, 1t combined
the two appellate courts. If il had
been adopted at the primary election
it would have become effective at
once, but the court preserved its
present personnel and arrangement
by delaying decision.
If the court had spoken Tuesday,
and held as it has several times in
the past, the West amendments
might have gone on the primary bal
lot They cannot now.
Parker w. Cress of Perry, republi-
can and former law partner OF Judge
Thomas II. Doyle. of the criminal
court of appeals, argued the legal
points involved, against the amend
ments. His protests against the
West initiative petitions had been
overrued by Secretary of State Har-
rison and he had appealed.
Attorney Norman Haskell of Ok
lahoma City represented the attorney
general and the amendments. Both
sides were given until Thursday to file
briefs on the question, whether the
court had authority to determine the
/ constitutionality of an initiative act
in advance of its adoption by the
people.

her loyalty for her husband. She

had been criticized for not bearing

ment from the printer that the work
was done by union printers, but in
the town of Norman, where there are
not a sufficient number to maintain
a union. Her explanation was en-
tirely satisfactory, but she will carry
literature with the label when she

Navy Needs New Target.

Which shall it be? Shall Secre-
tary Daniels count MY mother told
me to take this one" or shall he draw
a slip from a revolving box? The
navy needs a new target, since the
old Texas has been shot to pieces,
and the Massachusetts, the Indiana,
and the Iowa, ships that formed the
backbone of the American fleet that
destroyed NCerveras squadron, are
the vessels suggested to be assigned
target that is so valuable in target
for target work. There is no other
instruction as that provided by bat
tleship, fact long since recognized
by England and Germany, both OF
which countries have used several OBJ
solete vessels as targets for the ships
of the first line. The San Marcos,
as the old Texas was renamed when
the new dreadnought Texas was au-
thorized, is the only American war
ship ever used for that purpose. Ma
val officers argue that the training
and information that result from the
use of battleship as a target is far
more valuable than any cash sum
that might result from the sale Of
such ships to junk dealers or second
class naval powers. So which vessel
stands before the big guns at the
next practice?
