1918
By Byron Hunter

On April l the young sweet clover
was very thick One-half of the field
was disked, but since the cultivation
appeared to be destroying the young
plants, the other half was not disked
A good rain fell May 25. From this
date until November no rain of any
consequence fell. June l the clover
looked fine and by June % it was suf-
fering from heat. Spring grain was
badly burned, it making but eight
bushels per acre.
The 10 acres OF sweet clover fur
nished 81 pigs averaging 100 pounds in
weight, two cows and one calf with
plenty Of feed up to August l, when it
practically dried up. 1t is thought
that enough seed matured during the
season Of 1913 to reseed the land well.
This trial would seem to indicate that
when given good treatment sweet
clover will succeed in the dryer por.
ton Of the wheat belt; that when plant
ed reasonably early on land that was
summer fallowed the previous year, the
crop may be used for hay or pasture the

Sweet Clover
By Byron Hunter
In as much as many are going to SOW
sweet clover for the first time this
spring, the three years experience of a
Douglas County farmer with this crop
may be of interest The crop was
grown on ordinary wheat soil with an
average rainfall Of approximately l.
inches The name and address of the
farmer are withheld in order to protect
him from the annoyance of numerous
letters that experience has shown he
would receive. The information below
has been compiled from the first report
OF MIR. A. NJ. Richardson, County Agri-
culturist of Douglas County.
Preparation of the Soil
During the season of 1909 the land
was summer falloWed
1910
Between March 80 and June l the
land was narrowed eight times. On
June ,, seven pounds of alfalfa seed
per acre was planted four inches deep
with grain drill The ground was
then narrowed twice The alfalfa seed
was planted so late in the season and
covered 50 deep that only very little
OF 1t terminated, the stand being fail
ure. In the late fall the alfalfa was

1911
BY April l the land had been har-
rowed four times April seven pounds
OF sweet clover per acre was sown with
grain drill set to cover the seed two
inches deep. Immediately after sowing
the seed the land was narrowed twice
During the month Of April the nights
were very frosty and heavy rain fell
during the second week of May The
frost did not affect the clover, a perfect
stand was secured and it stayed green
during the summer and until the snow
fell. Stock ate it readily and the 10
acres carried approximately two COWS
per acre from the middle Of May until
the close of the season The stock did
not keep the growth down and it was
estimated that one-half ton of hay per
acre could have been cut.
1912
April 10 the field was double disked
and narrowed twice. This formed a
three-inch mulch. April 30 and May
20 and q heavy rains fell. Thirty
head of hogs averaging over 100
pounds each in the early spring, two
COWS and one calf were kept in the
field continuously during the season
There were also two acres of alfalfa in
the same field and the stock ate one as
readily as the other. The cattle showed
no signs of bloat even during the rainy
weather. The hogs received grain
ration Of two and one-half pounds Tor
each 100 pounds Of live weight The
cows received no grain ration. In addi-
ton to the pasture the sweet clover
made hay crop which was estimated
at two and one-half tons per acre. Suf-
ficient seed was also ripened to reseed
the field, and the stock kept in excel
lent condition.

COLLINS TO WRITE
BIG SERIES FOR
EVENING LEDGER
F amous Athletic Second
Sacker Will Review Each
Game of Worlds Baseball
Classic in Day Following
Play.

No man in the country. with the pos
sible exception OF Connie Mack, is half
so well qualified to write inside baseball
as Eddie Collins. the worlds premier
second baseman and eXtra-base slugger.
Eddie has consented to write a review of
series for the Evening Ledger and 1t is
safe to say that his comments on that
baseball classic will be more widely read
than that of any other writer in America.
During the past year Collins has writ
ten Il number of excellent articles which
have appeared from time to time in va
rious magazines. His Mack and His
Mackmen" and pitchers l have Faced"
made a big hit with the baseball public
because they were splendidly written and
contained facts which no one but a great
ball player himself could know. Need
less to say Collins writes his own articles.
Furthermore he writes on a standard
typewriter with all the ease of the fin
ishod reporter. When all of the public
realizes that McGraw's ideal of base
ball player Is able 20 comment on the
game as ably as he can play it, the name
of Edward Trowbridse Collins will be
eyes of the fans then hitherto.
That the Evening Ledger is fortunate
in having Collins to write the world s
series is not to be questioned. These
articles will appear in all editions of the
Evening Ledger.

While the coaches at Franklin Field are
concentrating all their thought and en-
ergy upon the development Of ground
gaining back field, Harvard, Dartmouth
and Cornell are giving thanks that their
veteran back field quartets of 1918 are
intact, and promise to be better this year
than ever. While these universities have
merely to hold their back field men to-
gether, the Quakers must fill every one
OF these four positions with a new man.
The effectiveness of Harvards back field
ought to be greatly increased this year.
II such a quartet could do more deadly
execution than that wrought by Brickley,
Mahan. Logan and Bradlee. About all
Head Coach Percy Haughton has to do
Is to keep these men in shape and think
up new plays for them. Unless some-
thing now unforeseen happens no pos
sible change could strengthen this group.
Every man Is a star of the first magni-
tude in his particular position, and the
four work together with the greatest pre-
cision. 1t Is idle to dwell upon the good
points OF these men because every one
HO" 9TlChley can
drop and place kick, run the ends and
buck the line; how Mahan can punt,
run back kicks and sprint around end:
how Bradlee can hit the line, and Logan
run the team.
But Pennsylvania men are probably
more interested in the strength of Dart
mouth and Cornell behind the line be-
cause the Quakers have to play both Of
these teams. Dartmouth Is every whit

year Llewellyn and Ghee altenated at
quarterback, but Ghee was the better
man. Llewellyn has graduated. leaving
Ghee in full charge. Dartmouth's other
three backs are on hand again. These
include Captain Whitney and Curtis at
the halfback positions, and Murdock at
fullback. There isn't much to choose be-
tween the Dartmouth and Harvard back
fields That indicates how strong Dart
mouth is. In some respects Whitney Is
better player than BTickley. He is
every bit as fast, and a line bucker
he Is superior to the Harvard captain.
Only in kicking is Brickley his superior.
Ghee is a better man to operate the
forward pass than Logan. Likewise he
runs his team faster and is a better
individual player. Mahan is superior to
Curtis. but there is nothing to choose
between Murdock, of Dartmouth, and
Bradlee, of Harvard. But think what a
load is taken from the minds of the
Dartmouth coaches when they realize
that they now have a back field which
can't be improved!
DR.. a. II. Sharpe, of Cornell, may try
to improve his back field, but he will be
pretty well fortified even if he decides to
stand pat on his present quartette. which
did so much to win from Pennsylvania
last year Last years back field was
made up of Barrett at quarterback Coll
yer and Phillip at halfbacks and L.ahr at
fullback. On the offense Fritz, now grad

position. With the exception of Fritz this
offensive machine is still available. 1t is

WEST CHESTER FAIR

SUCCESS THIS YEAR
Record Crowds Have Been

Grounds-Exhibit Attract
Lots of Attention.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Sept. T.-This
is the big day at the fair of the Chester
County Agricultural Association and the
attendance is even greater than was ex-
pected. Last year, the same day. there
were about 5000 persons on the ground
but the number today exceeds that by a
considerable figure. Good weather has
prevailed on every day of the exhibition,
and even If rain falls tomorrow the
organization will have cleared more
money than at any exhibition 1t has held
since it was formed.
The judges of cattle have about COM
pleted their work and are summing up
the results, as are those of other eN-
hibits including the poultry. Those hav-
ing charge IF making awards in the
horse show, the big feature of the fair
which is under the management of r.
Penn Smith, commenced their work today
and will complete looking over the AMI
mails tomorrow. Among the exhibits are
some OF the finest ever seen in this
place, and all classes are well contested.
The big race of the fair is to be staged
this afternoon, when Joe Boy, the fast
West Chester entry, and Pickles, his rival
belonging to James Bell. of Philadelphia
meet in the free-for-all. Other races on
the card are the 2:21 trot, 2:19 pace and
