Eat Alfalfa And Get Well

Alfalfa as remedy for indiges-
tion and mental depression was
recommended at the homeopathic
physicians convention, held in
Chicago last week, by DR.. A. L.
Blackwood, who told of recent ex-
periments in a Chicago hospital.
The alfalfa is converted into a
tincture and administered inter-
nally. It's use, according to Doc
tor Blackwood, was accompanied
by an immediate delightful feel
ing of well-being, increased appe-
tite and great improvement in
weight.
"All bodily functions were stim-
ulated, and it was impossible to
have the blues" said the ply
sician's report.
"It stimulates the digestion, and
will prove of great value in deal
ing with loss Of appetite. 1t does

kept down more than two or three
years. In the meantime the al
falfa is cutting on the average of
four tons of cured hay per acre.
Other crops such as vetch, GRIM
son clover, winter barley, winter
rye, saradilla, sweet clover and
Canada peas have ben grown. The
vetch is promising crop for green
manure. 1t seems more hardy
than crimson clover and has a
high fertilizer value. A careful
test of the value of crimson clover,
vetch and sweet clover when
sowed on rather heavy wet soil is
under way. We found the past
year that sweet clover was more
injured by heaving than any other
green manure crop tested.
A grass plot comprising about
thirty of the more important mea.
dow grasses is established for the
purpose Of comparing the merits
of these varieties on Delaware
soil and also for the purpose of af
fording specimens for class work

Miscellaneous Crops

Alfalfa is being studied with re-
spect to the value of seed from
various sources and likewise the
value of alfalfa for soil improve
ment. We have under way a rota-
tion which includes alfalfa as fol-
lows: Alfalfa two years followed
by corn the third year and the
fourth year by wheat. On the
Station farm the average yield of
corn in this rotation has been
ninety-fve bushels per acre with
out the use of commercial ferti-
lizers. 1t appears that alfalfa is
splendidly adapted to soil i'm
provement and can be made to
pay even though the alfalfa is not

were planted again this year.
Oats
The department continued the
work on varieties of spring oats.
Last year about thirty varieties
were under test. Oats can not be
considered a dependable crop in
Delaware, for the average season
the yield is low and the rate per
bushel very light. A few tests
with winter oats indicate that
they can be grown with fair sue
cess in the lower part of the state.
The present season we had a fairly
good growth of winter oats on
land that is we'll drained.
Soy Beans and COwpeas
We are continuing the study of
varieties of soy beans and cow
peas. About seventy-five varie-
ties of soy beans and ten varieties
of cowpeas were grown last year
The work on soy beans has pro
gressed far enough for US to deter
mine rather definitely the better
sorts for hay and seed production
The Wilson variety is now quite
generally grown throughout thu
State due to cooperative worl
with farmers to whom seeds wer
furnished in small lots. TIL
Peking is another desirable varie
ty although not quite as popula
as the Wilson. In some parts o
the State the soy bean has not me
with favor due to the fact that
has been planted on very thir
sandy, soil lacking in organic mat
ter. Under such conditions we d
not recommend the soy bean. Th
cowpea is to be preferred on sue
soils.

REASONS FOR SUCCESS

BECAUSE Service is the keynote of its organ-
zatlon.
BECAUSE The Board of Directors is composed
Of men successfully and actively engaged in the busl-
ness world. Their ud gment is based actual ex-
perience---and not on Director Room Theories.
BECAUSE twas the first Bank in Rural New
Castle County to inaugurae the Profit Sharing Plan,
paying per cent on Check Accounts and per
cent on Savings Accounts.
l By the initiation Of its Savings Department and its
Savings Banks, it has demonstrated that the Directors
for the needs Of the humble depositos as well
cater to the man Of big business.
BECAUSE Again when the business of this new
institution warranted, it was the leader Of Rural
Banks in paying 4 per cent on Savings Accounts.
BECAUSE Its growth as given in its official re-
ports, shows steady development and increase in all
its deparmets that conforms to the ideal of recog-
nized hnanciers.
BECAUSE This Bank was the first to open its
doors night week for the accommodation Of its
patrons who are busiy engaged during the day.
BECAUSE To this institution belongs no small
amount of credit for the wonderful growth of Newark
during the past few years.
u 1t has presented to purchasing public more Real
Estate than was ever placed on the market in similar
length Of time, and has sold more Real Estate since
its organization than all other sources combined.
BECAUSE 1t has built Banking House which
in appointments and security spasses any rural bank
in the State and equals Except in size) any in the
City of Wilmington. With its concrete structure, fire.
andbug arproof vaults, its safe deposit boxes its de-
tailed appointments, the new building is compliment
to the town of Newark
BECAUSE 1t has shown spirit of progressive
in keeping with the demands of the day. 1t has
broken away from the ultra-conservatism which gives
feeling Of awe to the prospective borrower vet at the
time has preserved sanity that guarantees safev

SYNOPSIS.

Juanita Holland. a Philadelphia young
woman of wealth, on her journey with
her guide, food Anse Talbot. into the
heart of the Cumberlands to become a
teacher of the mountain children, falnts
at the door of fetch McNash's cabin.
While resting there she overhears a talk
between Bad Anse Havey, chief of his
clan. and one of his henchmen that ac-
quaints her with the Havey-McBriar feud.
Juanita has an improbable talk with Bad
Anse and they become antagonists. Cal
Douglas of the Havey clan Is on trial in
Peril. for the murder Of Noah Wyatt, a
McBriar. In the night Juanita hears
feudists ride past the McNash cabin.
friends. Cal Douglas is acquitted. Nash
Wyatt attempts to kill him but is him
self killed by The Haveys. Juanita goes
to live with the Widow Everson, whose
boys are outside the feud. Milt McBriar.
head of his clan, meets Bal Anse there
and disclaims responsibility for Wyatt's
attempt to kill Douglas. They declare a
truce, under pressure from Good Anse
Talbot. ~Juanita thinks she finds that
Bad Anse is opposing her efforts to buy
land and build a school. Milt McBriar
breaks the truce by having F1etch Nc
Nash murdered. Jeb McNash begs Bad
Anse to tell him who killed his father,
but is not told. Juanita and Bad Anse
further misunderstood each other. Bad
Anse is bitter, but tells Juanita he does
not fight women n will give her land If
necessary. Juanita gets her land and
cabin. Old Bob McGreegor incites Jeb
McNash to murder Young Milt McBriar,
but Jeb refrains as he is not sure Young
Milt is the murderer. Young Milt and
Dawn meet several times, resulting in a
demand from Bad Anse that Dawn leave
Juanita's cabin. Juanita and Good Anse
go to see Bad Anse, who again says that
the school will fail because it has been
started by Juanita in the wrong way
Juanita begins to understand Bad Anse's
dream of regeneration for his people.

CHAPTER XIV.

Anse Havey had been looking ahead.
When old Milt McBriar had said
Them Haveys lows tibet I'd cross hell
on a rotten plank ter do 'em injury"
he had shot close to the mark. Bad
Anse knew that the quiet-visaged old
murder lord could no more free himself
from guile and deceit than the RATHER
can separate itself from the poison
which ~impregnates its fangs and ma
ture.
When he had taken Milt's hand, seal
ing the truce, he had not been be-
guiled, but realized that the compact
was only strategy and was totally in
sincere, Yet in Young Milt he saw
possibilities. He was accustomed to
rely on his own judgment, and he rec
ognized a clean and sterling strain in
the younger McBriar.
He hated the breed with a hatred
that was flesh of his flesh and bone Of
his bone, but with an eye of prophecy
he foresaw the day when a disrupted
mountain community must fall asun
der unless native IONS could unite
against the conquest of lowland greed.
He could never trust Old Milt, but he
hoped that he and Young Milt, who
would some day succeed to his ia.
theirs authority. might stand together
in that inevitable crisis.
This idea had for a long time been
vaguely taking shape in his mind, and
when he met Young Milt in the woods
and proposed uniting to save Juanita'f
school he was laying the cornerstone
for that future alliance.
At sunset Young Milt came, and he
came without having spoken Of his
purpose at home. The night was sharI
and moonless, with no light save thai
which came from the coldly glitterinl
stars, and Anse and Young Mil
crouched for hours. knee to knee in thu
dead thickets. keeping watch.
At last they both saw a creeping fig
ure which was only a vague SHADOW
moving among shadows. and the.
peered with straining eyes and raise'
rifles, But the shadow fell very still
and since 1t was only by its movemen
that they could detect 1t, they waite'
in vain.
What hint OF being watched wa
