A series of Friday night meetings, to be held under the auspices of the religious work of the Young Mems Christian association, at the associa- tioE building, and to eliminate in a biz revival service, was planned and virtually perfected last night at a nee ting of the religious work com mit1ee and members of the several churches of the. city.

drought will give better results when
seeded in the spring. When seeded in
the fall the roots go into winter quar-
tiers very tender and are apt to be
winter killed.
When there is plenty Of moisture
and soil is alluvial and sandy and win
tiers light. fall seeding is recommended
because the alfalfa can be sown after
the seasons crop is harvested. When
planting in the early spring one should
be certain to wait until all danger from
frost has passed. The soil should be
narrowed and disked until 1t Is like On
ash bank, then packed until it Is firm
below. Lack Of thorough preparation
Of soil is the cause Of more failures to
get a stand Of alfalfa than anything
else,
When alfalfa b planted in the spring
It should have nurse crop. Oats are
considered the best nurse crop in certain
sections. They shade the ground and
protect the young plants from the hot
summer sun and at the same time give
a profitable crop. The ground should
be full Of moisture when planting the

1 BEES IN SEPTEMBER.
: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

September is month that often
brings hope to discouraged beekeepers
who for one reason or another have
failed to secure a crop Of honey from
the earlier sources. such as the cl0vers.
Experience has proved that often the
fall flow exceeds the earlier one.
This may be the result Of two causes
It may be that the colonies were 80
weak from winter losses or spring
dwindling that they were not strong
enough In numbers to take advantage
Of even an abundant dow. or the lack
Of an early crop may have been the
result of real lack Of nectar secreted
by the flowers.
There Ia an ever increasing number
Of progressive beekeepers who during
September take from the hives every
drop Of honey. not only from the su.
pers. but from the brood nest as WE'LL
and In its place they feed sugar sirur
and make the bees depend exclusively
upon it, and there is much to be said In
favor Of this plan.
The honey from the fall flowers Il
full Of pollen grains. and too much OF
this eaten by the bees during the win
ter is liable to cause dysentery. espe-
cially If the bees are kept in winter
repositories. and by giving the hives
clear sugar strip in place Of the honey
taken there is decided gain. not onl,
in the health Of the colony SO treated.
but a gain in dollars. as the honey we
take from them will sell for more
than the sugar strip will cost.

FALL AND SPRING FLOWING

August and September Rains Often
Make Autumn Flowing Advisable.
Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The average yields Of spring crops.
such as wheat. oats and corn. in the
great plains area from spring and
from fall blowing show that the blind
following Of a rule prescribing any
particular time Of blowing might cause
a reduction as often as it does an in.
crease in the yields. The great varia-
ton in the time and amount of pre-
cipitation in this region must be con-
stantly kept in mind when considering
the time Of blowing. No dependence
can be placed on a heavy precipitation
in August and September, yet it fire.
Quently occurs. As moisture Is con-
sidered the most important factor in
crop production in the great plains
area, its conservation Is the primary
object in cultivation.
Stubble, weeds and uneven ground
are common means Of retaining snow
and holding large part Of the winter
precipitation. In deciding when field
should be plowed, the question Of
whether greater amount of moisture
will be accumulated by holding the
snow that falls than will be dissipated
by the growth of weeds Is paramount.
1t must be decided by the man on the
ground. In answering this question
several factors must be considered
namely, the amount Of moisture al
ready in the soil that may be lost
through weed growth. the probable
time before the weeds will be killed
by frost. the possibility of increasing
the water in storage in the soil by hold
ing the snow that may come, the dan
ger Of soil blowing IL the stubble and
weeds are removed and the distribu-
ton of farm labor.
In deciding the time to pillow the ad-
vantages and disadvantages Of both
spring blowing and fall blowing must
be taken into consideration. Heavy
rains in August indicate that fall plow-
ing should he done. as the gain Of
moisture during the winter by the
stubble land probably would not equal
the loss Of moisture taken by the weeds
in the fall. II only light rains occur.
however. the moisture in the soil pro-
duced by these rains probably would
be more than Offset hy the greater
quantity Of snow held by the stubble
during the winter and the reduction
Of the weeds in the crop. Spring plow-
ing would then be better. The avail
ability of labor in the fall will influence
the amount OF blowing done, but a
greater effort should be made to do the
blowing If there is heavy precipitation
than II the rainfall is light. The only
advantage in late fall blowing is that
the amount of spring labor in prepar.
ing the seed bed is reduced.
