CECIL COUNTY ALFALFA NOTES.

G. F. Marsh, County Agricultural
Agent, called to look at the alfalfa of
Williams Bros, Elkton. and found that
while it was a good stand it was very
yellow and was making but very poor
growth with the exception of patches
scattered through the field, which were
a dark green and twice as high as the
rest of the field. Upon examination it
was found that the green patches were
loaded with nodules while the yellow
places had none, or at the most very few
on the roots. and this in spite of the fact
that the seed had been carefully inocu-
lated in the fall. This only proves the
fact that it is much harder matter than
is usually supposed to inoculate field for
the first time and explains the numerous
failures where men. have carefully follow
ed direction, for the probability is that all
uninoculated plants will die cut the first
winter. 1t is also an argument In favor
of sowing timothy with alfalfa, If for
any reason the alfalfa does not come well
or if it should die out in patches from lack
of incubation the timothy will fill in and
make crop and farmer will not loose the
ers have done the first time that they
sowed it.. Ifthe soil from round the in
oculated plants is scattered over the yell
low ones with shovel or the whole field
narrowed with a spring tooth harrow
which would draw the inoculated dirt
from one plant to another the field could
be saved.
The same difference between inoculated
and uninoculated plants is seen in piece
of new seeding on Mr.. Cruikshank's farm
at Cecilton. Though he has several
acres of especially good alfalfa on the
farm.
A still further example of the same
thing is seen in field of crimson clover on
Elkton farms. where the manager. w. J..
Gorrie, sowed two pounds of alfalfa to the
acre in the seed. There is a good sprinkl-
ing all over the field and about ten per
cent of it is green and about fifteen inches
high and well inoculated. while the re-
mainder is uninoculated, yellow in color
and not over seven inches in height
The fact that when the land is lined
and the seed inoculated thoroughly alfalfa
will do well in Cecil county has been
proved by a large number of farmers.
Among others, ]. F. Cobbage. Cecilton,
has an acre of alfalfa that is thick and
making a splendid growth.
w. Bayles of Principle Furnace,
has half acre of alfalfa that has been
cut three times for several years and is
still thick and making good growth
Peter Hartenstine, Principle Furnace.
his fields and has sown two and half
pounds of seed on fifty acres of new seed
ing. Such a demonstration is well worth
the attention of the neighboring farmers.
Father Arnd, OF Eikton. who was one of
the first to grow alfalfa in this county,
prefers sowing spring seeding with oats
and in order to prove his side of the argu-
ment can show splendid stand of alfalfa
seeded with oats this spring. He says
that spring is the natural time to sow
seeds and that the oats will keep down the
weeds ana will not injure the alfalfa.
His is another demonstration that is well
worth watching, especially as all the au-
thorilies say that alfalfa should be sown
in the fall.

ARDMORE HAS
ANOTHER NEW
IN D j s 7 Ry
LOUIS BROOKS, LOCAL GAS FIT
TER, HAS INVENTED A GAS
BURNER THAT is BEING AP-
Piled TO HEATERS.

Louis Brooks, a local mon who for
a number of years has been employ
ed as gas and steam filter by
Kennerly, Spragins & Lewis, has in
vented burner for gas heaters that
promises to rev0lutionize the gas
heating industry Of the country. IL
is claimed that his burner possesses
many features lacking in other
makes, and besides being economical
in the use of gas, gives forth more
heat than any other on the market.
Wilson Newman has been making
the stoves. TO which the burner is ap-
piled, and so far has been unable to
supply the demand They have sold
over one hundred since the burner
was perfected, and are unable to fill
orders.
Mr. Brooks has patented his inyen-
tion, and seems to think he has
fortune awaiting him. The burner,
on "a larger scale, can be applied to
steam boilers, and yesterday the
Board of County Commissioners had
one installed in the heating plant OF
the county court house and jail, and
will burn gas instead of coal this
winter. Yesterday the burner was
given a severe test at the court house
heating plant, and gave entire salts
faction, with a material reduction in
the cost of fuel. In all probability
the Brooks heater will be manufac-
tured upon a larger scale next sea
son.

OLD VETERANS
At THE HOME
PLANS FOR MUSICALES AND
DANCES UNDER DISCUSSION
WITH HEARTY COOPERATION
OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

At a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the old Confederate Home yes
terday afternoon, the question of en-
tertaining the old confederates was
discussed with the mayor and COM
missioners. General T. d. Turner
made a very strong and impassioned
plea for the boys who wore the grey"
He stated among other things that the
citizens of Ardmore had promised that
if the home be located here that they
would lend some assistance in the
making the last few years of these old
soldiers happy. Colonel Sneed and DR..
HALEY also spoke along these lines
and it was suggested that the young
people of Ardmore have a dance or
musicale down at the home twice a
month. General Turner stated that
they spent forty thousand dollars
year for the maintenance of the home,
nearly all of which was spent with
ArumOre enterprises, ana ne lelt tnat
from business standpoint as well as
from a social standpoint we should
take an interest in the welfare of the
home, but above it all, we should help
make their last few years and with
some even weeks, as pleasant as we
could
The mayor will take the matter up
with the citizens and see if we cannot
get a party to go down about Monday
evening for an hour or two and then
hereafter about twice a month have
music, dancing, etc. Friday evenings,
so the school boys and girls can at
tend.

PEOPLE OUT OF DANGER.

Yesterday for the first time a reg
ular traffic officer was detailed for
duty at the corner of Main and
Washington streets, and, although he
had some difficulty in convincing
people that the middle of the street
was no place to stop and hold con-
versation, yet on the whole he sue
ceeded admirably in keeping pedes-
trians to the sidewalks and prevent
ed the congestion Of vehicles that
formerly made this corner nearly i'm

The chief of police states that as
soon as people become accustomed
to the change, they will not think
of stopping in the middle of the
streets to trade or traffic, but will
do business out of the danger zone
and give free passage to other ve-
hicles
Officer Mccoy, who was stationed
at the corner yesterday, stated that
he had no trouble or complaint from
anyone. He gave cotton wagons and
farmers from the country the right
of-way on South Washington street,
along the curbs, but kept passage
way open in case of fire. and the
department had to respond to a call

SENDING BACK
CHECKS SENT
RELIEF FUND
MONEY THAT is NOT NEEDED is
BEING RETURNED TO CITIES
WHICH CAME TO RELIEF OF
ARpMORE.

When Ardmore was suffering from
the greatest calamity in her history
and sent word to the mayors of
other cities that financial assistance
would be acceptable, it also notified
them that in the event more money
was donated than was necessary, 1t
would be returned to the donors,
with as much gratitude as though
it had been used. Acting upon this,
all moneys Were kept In a separate
fund from the local contributions,
and now that the relief work prac-
tically completed the committee finds
II has several hundred dollars that
they have no use for and this VIII
be returned at once. Today the
mayor returned a check to the mayor
of Tulsa for $500, and he and ex-
Governor Cruce have many others
that will be returned as soon as
they can find the time to do so.
Ex-Governor Cruce stated this
morning that every citizen OF Ard
more is profoundly grateful for the
generous contributions from other
municipalities, and while he hoped
that no calamity would ever befall
them. yet If 1t should it will find
Ardmore as ready to respond to their
relief as they were to ours.
The relief committee will have to
take care of several families for some
time to come, but they believe the
local funds will amply provide for
that and will return all that Is not
needed. The governor further stated
that in returning this money, Ard
more is establishing another prece-
dent. as she did when the Ardmore
way of making settlement with cor
porations was launched by the citi'
zens committee and the Santa re
officials.

Ran Away from University, Wanted
Guardian to Finance his Trip.
r. A. Howard received a telegram
from ST. Louis yesterday in which an
Indian boy was requesting that money
be sent to him. Upon investigation
the Ardmore attorney learned that an
Indian lad for whom the court had
named him guardian, had run away
from Carlisle university and had got
ten as far as st. Louis, when his money
gave out and he had wired to his guar
dian to send him funds that were very
much needed just at that time. Mr..
Howard did not hurry about sending
any money, but instead took the mat
ter up with the Indian office. As a re-
suit, the Indian agent is sending a man
to get the Indian lad and take him
back to school. z. A. Diggs of this
city was assigned to this duty, and,
combining pleasure with the business,
Mr.. Diggs left here today, accompanied
by Mrs. DigSs. After they have at
tended to the business of their mis-
sion they will visit for few weeks
in the east, including Chicago, where
their son, Marshall Diggs is attorney
for a large corporation.
