HOW TO GROW RED CLOVER
(By Ernest Rttman. County Farm
Demonstrator.)


Demonstrator.)
The difficulties in the way Of secur-
ing = stand Of red clover seeded with
the wheat or oats in the spring are so
great tina: IL seems we cannot con-
tinue the practice.
The experience of the four Expert
ment Station. as well as a great
manv farmers located throughout wss-
tern Kentucky. shows that the best
time to SOW this crop, is in the late
summer or early fall. without a nurse
crop. instead Of in the spring with
wheat or oats.
The following method Of prepspa-
ton has been shown to be successful
As soon as the wheat or oats are har-
vested. disk the land and then pillow it.
Keep the field well worked down dur
ing the summer. making a good seed
bed. Before seeding time apply two
to four hundred pounds of acid phos-
phate per acre and work il into the
soil. Between August Goth and Sept
ember 9Th SOW eight pounds of clean
clover seed per acre.
The splendid clover that can be grown
in this way will be astonishing.
The next year the clover will be
found as large, if not larger than If
sown the spring before, Every far
mer in Kentucky should try few
acres in this way. Be sure to put
on the acid phosphate. See your
dealer in time and have him secure
clover seed for this fall sowing for you.

MISSION WORK HINDERED
The Rev. E. E. Calverley, Returned
From War Zone, Tells of Trouble

The Rev. E. Z. Yalverley, recently re-
turned from Arabia, yesterday morning
preached in the Olivet Presbyterian
church He described his and his wife s
work among Moslems. The missionaries
in that part of the world, he said. are
very anxious for victory for the English
as such victory means protection in
their work.
Last evening Mr.. Calverley spoke at
the Emmanuel Presbyterian church on
"How the War Is Hindering Missions
in Arabia The Arabian mission has
two missions in the war area. One is at
Muskat, where the British are assisting
the local Sultan in suppressing a re.
bellion. The rebellion is being led by
blind Mulla who plays upon the super
stitions of the Arabs, claiming that he
is able to turn the bullets of the enemy
into water so they will not hurt his fol-
lowers. The uprising prevents the mis-
sionaries from visiting their sub-sta-
tions.
Another station of the mission is at
Busrah, which is part of Mesopotania,
that fertile valley of the Euphrates-
the big river of the Bible. Busrah has
recently been captured by the British
expeditionary force from India. The
war operations here kept the mission
aries from their usual school and mis-
sion work, but increased their medical
work. The American missionaries Joined
the Turkish Red Crescent Society,
which takes the place of the Red Cross
Society, and crowded their homes
and hospitals with wounded Turkish
soldiers.

RAILROAD CASE BEFORE COURT
Argument Head in Appeal From Pub
Lie Service Commission

The session of motion court sched-
uled for the morning, at which it was
expected dozen or more defendants
would be sentenced on criminal charges
to which they have entered pleas of
guilty, got setback because the
court s time was taken up with hear
ing arguments of attorneys on an ap-
peal from decision of the Public Serv-
ice Commission.
The argument involved the question
of who shall bear the expense of bridg-
ing Centre street, Butler, across the
tracks of the Pittsburgh & Western and
the Pittsburgh, Lake Erie 6 Bessemer
Railroads, an Improvement costing
$150,0O0 The Butler Passenger Rail-
way Company, which plans to extend
its lines over the bridge, was assessed
by the Service Commission to pay ten
per cent. of the cost and the steam
railroad companies and the borough
each were directed to pay thirty per
cent.
The Bessemer Railroad Company ap-
pealed. The attorneys argued that the
Public Service Commission failed to
ascertain the consequential damages to
adjacent property that would be en-
tailed through the construction of that
bridge and because of that alleged
failure the question was raised by the
court whether the Public Service Com
mission, in allowing the building of
the bridge, ''as convenience to the
public in general" had the right to is
sue such q certificate.

URGES AID By DEMOCRATS
Palmer Asks Legislators of His Party
to Support Local Option

Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture now in this city to-day received
letters from former Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer, in Washington, re-
questing them to vote for the local
option bill. Mr.. Palmer writes at the
request of Governor Brumbaugh, and
says that in voting for the local option
bill the Democrats are supporting a
plank in their platform which declared
for local option. He insists that it is
not a question of prohibition, but pure
ly one of home rule, and says the will
of the people should prevail.
Some of the Democrats in the House
said to-day that they know of at least
twelve Democratic members who will
support the local option bill, and that
they intend TO make a thorough canvass
to see where they stand as a party.
Representative Flynn, of Elk, the
Democratic House leader, speaking of
the Palmer letter, said that Mr.. Pal
mer's request would have little infiu-
ence with any Democrat. as the DEM
ocratic legislators had all made up their
minds one way or the other on the ques.
tion of local option before hearing from
the Reorganization - leader.
