DISTRICT CAN WAIT
FOR APPROPRIATIONS
Auditor Sees No Danger in Pos.
sibiIity Bill May Be Delayed
Until After July |.

While the failure Of Congress TO pass
the District appropriation bill by July
l would cause some delay in beginning
work on new projects, officials Of the
District anticipate no serious interfer-
ence in the work of the District gov
eminent, according to Alonzo Twee-
dale, auditor of the District.
In the event the bill does not become
law by July l. the beginning Of the
next fiscal year, Congress Is expected
to pass a joint resolution making avail
able for the expenses Of the Govern
ment. until the bill is passed. the same
amounts as are contained in the cur
rent bill. This would provide for the
payment of salaries of employees and
for general expenses.
Notwithstanding the general impress
siS> Slat the passage OF the bill will be
delayed until after July !, District Of
ficials are not yet convinced that such
Is the fact. In anticipation Of a delay,
however, they have decided on recon.
mendstion Of NJ. c. Hargrovc. purchas-
ing officer. that awards for supplies
shall pe made as usual, but subject to
payment on the passage of the bill.
Several years ago. Congress having
failed to pass the District appropriation
bill by July !, adopted q joint resolu-
ton making available for general ex-
penses the appropriations in the current
bill. In recent years, however, the Dis
trict has been fortunate in obtaining
the passage of the bill by the beginning
OF the new fiscal year.

Hard Work and Study
Mapped Out for Guards

No decision has as yet been reach
ed regarding the method of transport
ing the National Guard Brigade of the
District of Columbia to Virginia Beach.
although the various lines are sending
in their bids for the contract.
Many of the members of the guard
are elated over the prospect of hav-
ing q camp by the sea, in proximity to
such summer resort as Virginia
Beach, within comparatively few min
utes ride of Norfolk. on the electric
road.

according to those in authority, for a
program Of good, hard work along mil
itary lines Is being mapped out for
the guardsmen. AS soon as the camp
IS made and the regiment are settled,
the work will be taken up without de-
lay.
There will, in all probability, be only
enough of the close order drills to keep
discipline and regularity of formation,
the greater part of the time being
devoted to field exercises. These will
include advance and rear guard work,
a most important subject for infantry.

and information. Scouting, under the
direction of squad leaders, as we'll as

making and field intrenchment work

the Rhode Island.

With the Bermuda Islands as its
objective. the District Of Columbia
Naval Battalion will depart from
Hampton Roads on July 6. on the bat

probably result in nearly the entire
battalion turning out. According 10
militia headquarters. al least fifteen
officers of the local battalion will par
[ cipate. with from I30 to $50 blue
Jackets, and possibly more.
Many of the members of the local
naval militia are in The Government

ether their pay or annual leave. 1t is
sibly be spared, viii take advantage OF
the opportunity orferd for instruction

Baltimore. This new departure, sailinG
from Hampton Roads, necessitates the
battalion leaving Washington on the

War Causes POstoffice Restrictions.

Uncle Sam is spreading his post
office restrictions made imperative
by the war in Europe. Notices
have been sent out to postofices
throughout the country to refuse
all parcel post packages consigned
to German and French destina-
tions.
While the order was sent out By
Postmaster General Burleson with
a view to protecting the depart
ment in its relations with the war
ring communities, the two coun-
tries mentioned are but a. small
fraction of the territory now up in
arms. 1t IS the opinion of postoffice
officials that the edict CAME about
before the whole of Europe was
drawn into the war, and that ad-
ditional instructions concerning
the delivery of foreign-bound pack
ages to the other countries engag-
ed in the strife will be forthcoming
soon. The ban does not apply to
ordinary hrst-class mail.
Postohce officials at Washington
are expecting a general spread of
the war to the outlying districts of
the Mediterranean and even along
the African border, it seems. An
order has been issued prohibiting
the shipments of international
money orders to points in Egypt or
the Sudan No special reason for
the ruling has been given, except
that the British embassy in the de
sert domain has issued a similar
order to the Egyptian postoffces.

ALFALFA IN NORTHERN COUNTIES
Northern Counties Able to Compete
With Southern Portion Of State
in Growing of Alfalfa.

The southern portion of the state
that heretofore has had a monopo-
ly in alfalfa production, will have
to look well to its laurels or it will
find husky competitor in the
northern counties. All over the up
per counties the people have awak-
ened to the Importance of the king
OF forage crops, and have tried the
matter out to the point of success
tul demonstration that they have
the conditions needed for a first
class alfalfa country. From the pre-
sent indications it is apparent that
alfalfa will be a common crop in
the upper counties in a short time
At luncheon given to farmers at
Wausau by Prof. Kadonsky of the
Marathon county agricultural
school, May 13, the table was de-
corated with alfalfa sixteen inches
long. 1t is apparent that this grow
tn will be ready for cutting early
IN May, another cutting before the
first of August and third early in
September. They have organized
alfalfa growers associations in
Marathon and other upper Wiscon-
sin counties, and things are do
ing up there.
Alfalfa requires in a general way
the same climate and soil condi-
tons as clover-and upper Wiscon-
sin has well earned the soubriquet
Cloverland. " But alfalfa, where
conditions are suited to its produc-
ton, is worth more than twice as
much as clover
The writer has seen splendid
growth Of alfalfa in all portions of
upper Wisconsin. Mr.. Knight used
it once as a cover crop in his orch
ards at Bayfield, but discarded it for
the reason that it came up again
too much after being plowed under.
As he said: The trouble isn't in
making it grow, but in keeping it
from growing. This remark may
be little ultra optimistic, but it
appears that the boys are going to
show that upper Wisconsin is alfa1-
ia land as well as clover land.
With the finest climate in the
world for livestock, with superior
conditions for the manufacture of
the finest butter and cheese, and
with alfalfa established generally
over the state, the possibilities for
the livestock and dairy industries
in Wisconsin are hard to estimate
and with the development of the
wonderfully fertile areas in the up
per Wisconsin counties, it is rea-
sonable to expect the dairy output
Of the state to triple if not quad
ruple its present proportions. Tru-
~ Wisconsin has a great future.
