Washington, Sept Germany has
accepted the declaration of the United

WEEKLY LETTER OF
JOHN Il. PAGE
ALFALFA.

In proportion to its value there is
less alfalfa raised on Arkansas
farms than any other farm crop. If
you want to know it's value, go to
town and buy bale or bushel of
seed and see. You might say if you
raised it that you couldn't get that
price for it. Suppose so. You can
feed it to stock and get the value
that way. Alfalfa is good for all
kinds of stock. Hogs and chickens
will eat the hay. The hogs will eat
the hay and the chickens will eat the
leaves of the hay if it is chopped up
fine enough. Alfalfa is rich feed
and goes a long ways.
Alfalfa is one Gf the best plants
for the land and enriches the soil. 1t
is not hard to grow and yields well.
We have small plot of it on the
state capitol grounds, sowed last
September and cut four times this
year, already.
Now is alfalfa time-this year,
this month. Remember the follow
ing rules and plant from one to 20
acres this month.
Land.-The land should be well
drained or dry, of good soil, with
clay subsoil. Sandy loan soil will do
if not more than so per cent sand.
River bottom buck-shot land will do.
Soil with a hard pan will not do.
Soil with a gravelly subsoil is usual
ly good for alfalfa.
Preparation.-Plow deep = about
eight inches. Then spread ground
limestone four tons to the acre. Disc
harrow both ways. Take a heavy
roller and roll the ground at least
twice. Let it stand about 10 days
and then double disc and double roll
again. In 10 days plant:
Planting.-Harrow the ground and
cross-harrow, about two inches deep.
SOW about "a pounds to the acre with
hand seeder. Cross-harrow again
about one inch deep, and roll with
light roller both ways. Leave the
ground smooth and firmly pressed.
Before sowing be sure you get good
seed, and also get incubation culture
for the seed. Do not fail to inoculate.
Seedsmen sell incubation culture and
will give you instructions how to use
it. If your land is not rich, put we'll
rotted manure on it before breaking.
Plant on land as free from weeds as
possible Do not plant in the spring.
Do not fail to prepare your seed bed
we'll. Remember your work is done
when the planting is done. To follow
cowpeas with alfalfa, you can disk
the land instead of breaking the first
time, or break it shallow 1t is a
good idea to follow cowpeas with al
falfa. Follow these instructions and
you can get from three to five tons
of hay to the acre next year. If you
are renter, get the landlord to fur
nish the limestone.

Bernstorff's letter was forwarded

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
TRAINING SCHOOL
LIST OF PUPILS SELECTED
PROF. DENNEY EXPLAINS NOR
NAL SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
WORK.
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
On account of the work in the city
school beginning two weeks before the
work in the training school, it is
deemed advisable to publish the train
ing school list, together with word
of explanation.
A number of parents from various
parts of the state will be in the Nor
NAL School proper, and have request
ed places reserved for their children.
such children, of course, must be
placed on the list All children who
were in the summer term and re-
quested places have been placed on
the list. Where this did not make
the full list of 10 for each grade
other names have been selected from
last years pupils, in the order of re-
quest.
We would be glad indeed to take all
the children that desire to come, but
to do so would take far more room
than we have.
Since the school day here at the
training school is shorter than the
day in the city schools, it is suggested
that all children who enter for the
regular term plan to stay during the
summer term as well. The hours for
the summer term are very short, from
$3.50 to II, so that the time spent in
the summer term scarcely more
that makes up for the short day
during the regular term. The Nor
NAL School must maintain a summer
term next year, as we will doubtless
have three or four hundred teachers
from all over the state here for the
summer term. A large per cent of
them expressly to see the work in the
training school. We can have a far
better school to show them if the
children who come during the regular
term come during the summer term
as we'll.
Mr.. Doyne, after number of trips
clear across the country to see teach
ers actually at work, has secured a
supervisor that is ranked by leading
educators as one of the best in the
entire country.
During the summer term the super
visor will have an assistant, so that
little of the teaching will be done by
students. The present senior class is
zone of the Strongest the school has
ever had. This, together with the
plans now making for games, super
vised play, school gardens, etc., will
doubtless give US the strongest years
work we have ever had.
The list of pupils assigned to the
several grades is as follows:
First Willie Firestone, Ag-
mes Henderson, Corean Mills, Sarah
McHenry, j. B. Morris, Grace Phelps,
Lucille Harrison, Ruth Turner, Will
liam Lee, Smith

Professor Heinemann, of the University

subject, declares that there Is less

been quickly soured. His experiments
show that the slower milk sours the
greater the danger Of disease germs sur.

Is always good plan to give preference
to buttermilk which has been prepared
