REAL ESTATE MEN AS HOSTS
Plans Laid for Entertaining East

Omaha to Coast.
SECRETARY HERE TUESDAY

Omaha real estate men are determined
that all the eastern real estate men who
stop off in Omaha on their way 20 Los
Angeles for the convention OF the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate Ex-
changes, shall be properly entertained
while in the city. A special committee
appointed some weeks ago to solicit
funds for the entertainme9t OF these
men has raised Sl,09o. p. r. Benson 70
chairman Of the committee.
Next Tuesday Thomas Ingersoll. execu-
tive secretary OF the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Exchanges, is TO
spend the day in Omaha en- route 70 the
coast He IL to be entertained by the
real estate men. The exchange has set
Tuesday for it's regular meeting this
week, instead of Wednesday, which Is
the regular date. This was done in order
that Mr.. Ingersoll might come before
the exchange in session and deliver a
talk
some Booster Talks.
A number Of booster talks were given
at last weeks meeting of the exchange
by c. c. George, Harry Wolf. Frank II.
Meyers. President Thomas. c. r. Harri-
son and George F. Gilmore.
Harry Wolf pointed out that in Omaha
rents are running far ahead OF ground
values, as compared with the eastern
cities. He asserted that while an invest
ment In ground in New York City yields
only per cent on the investment, in
Omaha II yields from 20 ~ per cent. He
declared that this discrepancy should no
longer exist; that Omaha should now be
considered so well established a metro
politan city that capital should be as
willing 70 invest here as In the east, espe-
cially In view OF the fact that the rate
OF returns on the investments Il 90 much
greater.
People Just Waiting.
George r. Gilmore asserted that there
is something Of waiting condition Of
mind on the part OF the people of the
country on account Of the war and vari-
GUS conditions. and that much money is
idle that ought 10 be invested In real
estate. He pointed to the increasing val
ues In Omaha, and declared that the
example Of George A. Joslyn's recent in
vestments are good ones TO follow, in
that they show O confidence in Omaha
property. since Mr.. Joslyn invested con-
siderably more than 8. 10000 in less than
one month.
The Real Estate Exchange took up a
matter of taxation referred TO In n
communication from the Building Own
ers' and Managers association. The
communication stated that through a re-
vision OF the methods OF accounting and
through other possible changes. reduc-
ton OF 10 per cent should be made IN the
present tax assessment The exchange is
TO appoint committee TO look into the
matter and probably cooperate with the
building owners and managers IN a
movement to this end.

POINTERS FOR DRY SEASON
Be Controlled to Some Extent by Grazing and Clipping.

The total consumption of water by alfalfa can be controlled to a con siderable extent by pasturage or ire, quent clipping without serious injury to the plants, according to the United States department of Agriculture. Bull. ietin No. 22s. Effect of Frequent Cut ting on the Water Requirements of Alfalfa and Its Bearing on Pasturage." With a limited amount of stored moisture in the ground often the greatest amount of alfalfa can be ob. tained by allowing the crop to grow when the water requirement is the lowest, fin the fall or spring. and by keeping the leaf surface at a mini mum during the summer through clipping or pasturage. The efficacy of thus conserving the moisture dur ing the periods of drought has been observed many times.
 Whenever the moisture supply falls short of the amount necessary to pro duce normal crops throughout the sea son. summer grazing appears to afford a simple and practical means of ob- taining a return from alfalfa commen- surate with the available moisture. and al the same time reduces the dan ger of drought injury. When the mois- ture supply is adequate for continuous crop production throughout the season. close pasturage or clipping would re- suit in a marked reduction in the amount of alfalfa produced. Is the opinion expressed in the bulletin.
 When grazing is prscticed greater production can be secured by inter- mittent grazing; that is. by employing several fields which are pastured in rotation. Summer pasturage with al falfa is extensively adopted in Aus tralia, and the combined system of hay and pasturage has found much favor in New South Wales. It is car ried out in the rolling-plains country on loam or sandy soils where there is no possibility of subirrigation.

Ordinarily the manure spreader is in use at seasons of the years when the field work is not demanding at tention. While the harvest is in progress. 1t will De found idle; hence. it Is available for other work
 In districts where field roots. such as mangels, sugar beets, or turnips are grown, the manure spreader may serve as a wagon in transferring the crop from the field to the root cellar or pit
 simple adjustment will enable the operator 10 save considerable time, as well as the task of unloading with the aid of a shovel The cylinder or spreader is first removed from the end of the box. and suitable end board is set in place, the latter being held by an iron bar or rod
 When the load Is taken to the eel lar, the end board can be lifted out readily and the roots may be rolled into the trap door merely by putting on the crank which connects with the apron shaft and turning by hand until the entire lot has been discharged. ft requires only a few moments to de- liver the load
 If the farmer does not have wagons enough to move the crop readily. this diofficulty may be overcome by follow. ing the suggestion which has been offered

GOOD RATI0NS FOR
 EWES WITH LAMBS
Clover Hay Is Better Than Tim othy-Mouldy or Sour Corn
 Silage Is Dangerous.

tBy HOWARD HACKEDoEN. Missouri
 Experiment. Station.J
 Clover hay and grain is a better ration for breeding ewes than timothy hay and grain.
 Glover hay alone will maintain preg- nant breeding ewes up to iambing time. After lambing the addition of grain is advisable.
 Corn silage when fed with clover hay, with grain, and with both clover hay and grain, is slightly better rough age than corn stover fed with the same combination of grain and clover hay.
 Moldy or extremely sour corn silage is Q dangerous feed for sheep. Eleven ewes were lost in one week from &C., cidentaIly feeding moldy silage.
 A ration of corn silage, clover hay and grain is the most efficient way Of utilizing silage.
 Feeding corn stover. clover hay and grain is the most satisfactory method of utilizing stover.
 Corn silage and stover are better roughages than timothy hay when fed with grain.
