Cellar Is Not Safest
Place For the Money

Lack of confidence i'm banks is said
to have cost August Weigelt. a Decor
la farmer, about 800 during the past
few days. Mr.. Weigelt for a long time
past held a certificate of deposit for
$500 on a local bank. but on August
On was induced to draw il out. through
fright. He had always received his
four per cent interest on the deposit
promptly and had no good reason to
doubt the bank, which Is one of the
strongest in the state. However. IL
appears that an acquaintance succeed
ed in undermining his faith I'm banks.
and he FASTENED TO the banking house
in quite a panic and demanded his
money. II was given TO him, together
with accumulated interest. and he
drove home with II and stored II in
his cellar. I'm n tin box. according TO
statements since made to bank Off
Gals.
His Money Was Gone.

The local transfer men and shippers
are making complaints OF the con-
gested condition in the local yards of
the Chicago and Northwestern and
Omaha railway companies. Il would
appear that there ale eXaSperating
delays afternoons. because OF a lack
OF trackage. The cause is said TO be
primarily due to a lack OF freight
handlers in the depots. II there were
plenty of these, local shippers could
deliver their freight at the depots. and
il would be loaded upon the cars by
the railway men. inasmuch as there
are not sufficient men TO handle the
freight in this way. the local transfer

ularly by the larger firms take the
freight directly TO the cars and load
il upon them in the yards. Here Is
where a great delay occurs. for half

One drayman may have freight for
half a dozen different cars. and at
each he is likely to wait for other
drays to complete loading. Unless
this was done, shipments would be
delayed. Some of those receiving
freight are also making complaints,
but the most serious condition Is said
to confront those shipping out.
The railway companies claim that
they are not financially able to en-
p!oy more men. because of a long per-
ind of adverse legislation against
them. which has reduced their in

Seeding Alfalfa
In The Fall

A number of successful fields of
alfalfa have been seeded in the
fall. Mr.. Frank Sherwin of Brook
ings seeded alfalfa into a small
field Of corn after the last cultiva-
ton in August and obtained a good
stand which wintered we'll. He
left the stalks on the field to catch
snow and protect the alfalfa. This
seems to be very satisfactory
method.
Another plan for seeding in the
fall is to mix the alfalfa with winter
wheat or rye, using 10 lbs. of
alfalfa seed to about as lbs. of
wheat or rye and sow with a one
horse drill, between the corn rows,
leaving the stalks for winter pro-
lection. In some cases it may be
possible to seed the alfalfa success
fully on fall plowed land or sum-
mer fallow, but it is likely that this
would winter kill, because it would
not be sufficiently protected during
the winter.
At the Highmore Substation in
1917 one of the fields of alfalfa seed
ed in May was destroyed by wind.
This was reseeded about the mid
die OF July and made a growth of
about six inches in height before
cold weather came. All of this
killed out during the winter.
From the foregoing experience
and others we conclude that the
best plan is to seed in the stand
ing corn stalks or into double -disced
grain stubble, if there is ample
moisture, rather than on bare fall
blowing or summer fallow.
The above suggestions are given
in answer to number if inquiries
which have been received by the
Agronomy Department of the State
College regarding seeding alfalfa
in the fall--By Manley Champlin,
Agronomy Department, State Col
lege.
