SEEDING RED CLOVER.
Eight to Ten Pounds of Seed Are
Usually Sown to the Acre.

Eight to Ten Pounds of Seed Are
Usually sown to the Acre.
Prepared by the United States depart
ment of agricultural
Red clover has beer justly ranked
nent system Of agriculture in the north
ern and eastern parts Of the United
States.
In the greater part of the clover
belt clover is seeded in the spring on
winter wheat or with spring grain. In
the southern part of the clover belt
seeding in corn at the last cultivation
has been successful. When red clover
Is seeded on winter grain it is sown
broadcast early in the spring when the
ground is honeycombed by freezing and
thawing. If sown later when the
ground can be worked it is broadcasted
and narrowed in or seeded as shallow
as possible with a disk drill. In the
spring grain sections red clover Is
sown at the same time the grain is
drilled. 1t Is the practice in some loca-
aioho " ottoSh u glass SSSoihS oeSoS
ment to the grain drill and drop the
clover seed either in front or behind
the grain hose. If dropped in front Of
the grain hose the drill will cover 1t,
but If dropped behind it should he
narrowed In. Care should be taken to
see that the seed Is covered about an
inch In loan soils and half an inch in
clay soils. 1t is important that the seed
be we'll covered so that the young
plants will have sufficient moisture to
become established. 1t is recommend
ed on soils which are poor in humus to
apply a dressing Of straw or manure
to the winter wheat. This will help
to control washing and packing as
well as the loss Of moisture. 1t may
be the means of establishing a stand
which would. otherwise fail. Eight to
ten pounds Of seed are usually sown
to the acre.
Red clover should be cut for hay
when just past full bloom. At this
stage the maximum protein and dry
matter are present, the leaves are still
intact and the stems green. The hay
should be so handled that it will reach
the barn or stack with the least posi-
BILE exposure to the weather and loss
of leaves. 1t should not be allowed
to become too dry in the windrow and
should be cured in the shock. The
second crop Of clover may be cut for
hay, pastured or allowed to mature for
seed. If a seed crop is to be harvested
1t should be cut when nearly all of the
heads have turned brown or black. The
mower. self rake reaper or binder may
be used to cut the crop. When the
mower is used the hay should be raked
and punched while damp to prevent
SCATTERING. 1t should not be tied In
bundles when the binder is used.

Gompers Pleads with Wilson
For Fair E,astland Probe
Labor Head Tells President Steamboat Inspectors Are
Guilty Cites Warning of Danger Given by Chicago Fed
eration-Deplores Officials Inquiry Into Own Acts

Declaring that the steamboat inspec-
tors of the Department of Commerce
principally were responsible for the re-
cent Eastland disaster at Chicago. Sam
uel Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor. has sent a letter
to President Wilson. urging that the
investigation of the catastrophe be taken
out of the hands of the inspectors and
that a commission of disinterested citi-
zens be appointed to make an impartial
probe of the matter.
"A little more than a year ago." reads
the letter, the secretary of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, in a protest to the
Federal inspection bureau at Washing
ton. D. c.. called attention to the crowd
ed condition of excursion steamboats,
regardless of sufficient life boats or able
seamen, and predicted that in the event
of an accident. thousands of peoples
lives would be sacrificed even II the boat
was tied to the dock. Despite all these
warnings. this terrible disaster has hap
pened.
Since all our inspection agencies have
proved woefully inadequate. would il not
be a travesty on justice, would il not
make light of the value of human lives
that were destroyed In the Eastland
and the value of other human lives
that shall be intrusted to other vessels.
to permit an investigation of the East
land horror to be made by the inspection
officials who are in some degree at

least responsible for the disaster that
has taken place?
Can We hope to get at the facts in
the case? Can We hope to establish
principles that will enable us to devise
construction measures to guard against
future disasters by permitting the vari-
Gus inspection agencies to investigate
their own work and to make final report
on the same?
Permit me to urge upon you with the
greatest earnestness the necessity of TAX
ing the investigation of the Eastland dis
aster out of the hands of the inspectors
who are responsible and appointing a
commission of disinterested fair-mind-
ed citizens to make an impartial investi-
cation and whatever recommendations
they may deem wise.
In this connection, also, let me urge
upon your attention how completely
the Eastland disaster refutes all of
the arguments that have been urged in
order to bring about amendment or re-
peal of the Seamen's act, a measure
designed to protect human life. II. as
nation, We have regard for the value
and the sacredness of human life, If
we esteem human beings higher than
property or property interests. We shall
insist that the Seamen's act shall not
he weakened but strengthened in order
to provide greater safety and greater
security for future water traffic or
travel

Some contained a sentimental excerpt.
such as Bodies as we'll as souls are be-
ing saved by the pocket testaments," and
These are the times that try mems
souls" The original poetry went into
human and divine nature and possibly
was meant as addenda to the Scriptures.
Photo Is Startling.
The photograph was the most startling
thing in the envelope. 1t was a picture
of a pile of boxes. box-boards, and ma
chinery which might have been the hybrid
of cider press. dynamo or old-fashioned
printing press. Some thought it was the
cloak of an Internal machine.
Detective Sergeant Forteney went to
the home of the inventor, Harry H. Ma
son, Il, colored. and took him to police
headquarters. There they asked him
what it was.
Cant you see? Read these citations
from the Scriptures. these clippings and
this poetry. Now. do you understand?
Well, ask the cardinal or any of the
priests" Mason cried impatiently. He
was questioned further.
why. it's a experimentation ma

Then Mason was taken to Washington

cause his questioners were out of line
with the Scriptures" he wouldn't say
much about the machine or the reading
