Relatively Small"

Those who had hoped that President
Wilson would definitely and specific
ally counsel the congress to practice
economy in its appropriations can
have no other feeling than disap-
pointment over the paragraphs in his
address devoted to that subject. The
president does, indeed, commend
economy in general terms; but he
couples with this commentator the
remarkable assertion that an amount
of money running, it may be, into
the Millions" would be relatively
small"
II this is the spirit of the man with
the veto power, what is to be expected
from congressman with hungry con
stituents clamoring for government
appropriations Is it not, in fact
of a piece with the argument of the
obscure representative who pleads fol-
a public building in his home hamlet
because so much money is spent by
the government for the upkeep of 8
navy?
In the conditions existing today {
considerable body of citizens conf
IDENTIFY believed that the presiden
would see the wisdom of standing
firmly for retrenchment and saving
His answer to this is to characteriz,
an amount running, it may be, int
the Millions" as relatively small,
and this spirit is reflected in the de
partmental estimates submitted to tn,
committee on appropriations, which
obviously include many items justifi
able only on the ground that they arr

that seed yields can be increased by
systematic seed selection, and improv-
ed cultural methods where moisture
can be partly regulated or controlled,
by selecting certain fields, and types
of handling each individual field. The
experienced alfalfa seed grower soon
realizes that with our present infor-
nation there is very little certainty
about the crop.
One grower in a recent letter ex-
pressed the opinion common to most
all growers who have tried to handle
the crop. He says, the longer l grow
it (alfalfa seed) the less l find
know about the business. This year

at is a problem that every one has
to work out to fit his own local con-
ditions Of soil, moisture supply, age
of the field, the depth of the root
system and the supply of moisture
already in the soil, all points have to
be considered"
1t is possible that close investiga-
ton of all the factors that prevail in
different fields where alfalfa seed
succeeds and fails that it may be pos
sible to determine some of the points
that will in a measure insure a great
err success in alfalfa seed growing. II
is the aim and desire of the Expert
ment Station to attempt such field
study in this state as far as possible
} and in cooperation with the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture the study
may be extended into the alfalfa seec
growing districts of several of the
western states.

Alfalfa Seed Production

There is a general interest in the
question Of alfalfa seed production,
many are attempting to grow the crop
but with varied success, it is evil
dent that there is need of much more
information and experience with the
crop to determine the underlying fac
tors that influence the results.
For a number of years the Expert
ment Station has devoted efforts to-
ward the solution of the alfalfa seed
growing industry, the results indicate

II may be true that the moving picture

such large compensation as to make il
difficult to obtain actors: but IL is only

And in a French play she would have

II is not the idea of n chase which
seems to interfere in a way with the
humor OF Mr.. Hopwood's play. II was
not the same incident that caused La
biche's famous "l.e Chapeau de Paille
d'Italie" to fall fiat In english when
ever an attempt was made to introduce
1t on the stage here or in England.

1t ought to have amused the public
In accordance with every law OF the
stage. But as The Wedding March"
or later as p comedy with music added
to it. nobody was interested in the
chase Of a wedding party after "A straw
hat.
Maybe there was nothing about the
hat sufficiently comic or important TO
carry the fun throughout the PLAY.
In The Million" there was a similar
chase. hut 1t was concerned with n
lottery ticket. and the public did have
the excuse for interest in this impor-
tant article which meant n fortune
TO it's owner. So the complications
in this case did interest the public
sufficiently to discover fun in every
situation.
The chase of the various married
couples through sadie Love was not
marked 10y any particularly recognize
able purpose and as the titled husband
was ultimately to love his American
wife more than his affinity. the chase
seems to have lost some of its pur-
pose. Failing in love with his wife
is a sufficiently familiar way Of ending
a play, and Mr.. Hopwood took no
chances when he adapted the formula
might have been "A great deal more
amusing had the playwright made his
drlma out Of an elaboration OF the
first act rather than an obvious at
tempt to provide an appearance of
