Sweet clover plowed under at a GER
tain stage beats any fertilizer that car
Ue used and il much easier operated
than hauling manure from town to be
spread on the field. The turning under
should have been done by this time, for
there is such thing as the plants be-
coming too rank and stalky for best re.
suits. Like all cIoyers this variety is a
legume and has the power Of gathering
nitrogen out of the air and storing il
in the soil by means Of the bacteria
which live upon its roots.
The value of sweet clover as pastur-
age or hay crop is much disputed. Some
rAnchmen regard it as worthless and
consider it as weed, while others have
had apparently good success feeding it.
Its foliage has bitter taste due to the
it contains and its stems have
a tendency to become woody.

We have law in Colorado. now in
force five years, that requires every
land owner to cut the weeds along the
roads and bitches as well as the public
highway. This must be done between
the LIST of June and the 18th of August
each year. All weeds. briars. tall grass,
sweet clover. or destructive vegetable
growth growing along the front Of .B
land. whether public or private. must
be cut, burned and destroyed, and the
failure to do so means a violation OF the
law. Moreover, it is the duty of road
overseers OF the state, outside of cities
and Incorporated towns, to notify the
owners or occupants Of land abuttlng on
the public highway, the law must be
complied with. II any land owner
bucks against the proposition, then the
road overseer must cut, burn and de-
stroy the obnoxious growths and charge
up the cost as lieu against the pro-
perty.

Mt. Mansfield by the state forestry de-

This added to former purchases gives
the state solid tract of 5000 acres in
one of the richest sections of natural

WANT TRUSTEE APPOINTED.
To Care for Trust Fund Created by
Senator Proctor.

Rutland, Jan. ga petition in
chancery for the appointment of trus-
tee of the two trust funds left by the
late Senator Redfeld Proctor to his
daughter, Arabella, was filed in Rut-
land county court yesterday. The petit
ton recites the fact that on Noyem-
Der %, 1883, Senator Redfield Proctor
created trust fund of $4,000, the in
terest and proceeds from the fund to be
devoted to his daughter, Arabella Proc
tor, Mrs. Proctor being made trustee of
the fund.
On November 90, 1888, Senator Proc.
tor created another fund of $4,000 with
practically the same conditions, also pro-
viding for Mrs. Proctor as trustee. Miss
Arabella Proctor was married on Novem-
Der 81 1888, to Fred G. Holden, and of
the union two children were born, Fred
ericka G. Holden and Robert f. Hold
en-.
As the two funds were for the provis-
ion of Miss Proctor and her heirs. the
children now receive the benefit of this
amount of money. The original funds
were in the bonds of the Vermont Mar
bic company, but in 1902 these were
to preferred stock in the
same concern. f. G. Partridge as exec
utor seeks to have trustee appoint

BELGIUM FARING BETTER.
There Is Comparatively Little Suffering
Now.

Rotterdam, via London, Jan 22.-Rob-
inson Smith of Hartford, Conn, has ar
rived here after an extensive stay in
Belgium. He reports everything quiet
there in the occupied zone and that the
work of feeding the civilian population is
proceeding smoothly, except for short
age of food in several provinces, due to
lack of shipping facilities and internal
transport.
Frederick W. Walcott, European rep
resentative of the Rockefeller founda-
tion," said Mr.. Smith, has completed on
behalf of the foundation an investigation
of the work of the Belgian relief commits
sion, of which Herbert S. Hoover is the
director. The foundation is interested in
the work as one of the chief contributors
to the commission, having given it mil.
lion dollars worth of food at it's incep-
ton and 100000 lately for a supply Of
clothing for destitute Belgians.
Mr.. Walcott reports that the commits
sion deserves continued support in its
struggle against multitude of difficult
ties in maintaining its service of feeding
nine million people He said that unlike
other relief organizations which do not
traverse belligerent lines, the commits
sion has earned the unqualified conf
denoe OF all the fighting governments.
which enables it to be of help not only to
Belgium and northern France, but makes |
it the logical organization for feeding the |
other distressed populations of Europe.
accompanied by Caspar Whitney, rep
resenting the commission in Belgium, Mr. |
Walcott left here this week for Poland |
where he and Mr.. Whitney will make in
vestigations of the Polish needs When |
these are completed, the party will go to
Serbia with the same purpose. These in
are under the approval of
all the governments concerned"
Mr.. Smith concluded by saying that i
unless there is an immediate improve
nent in the shipping situation there will
be an extremely serious shortage of food
n Belgium.

New Source Of Potash.

Since the war began the supply of
potash to this country has stopped, and
the United States il practically without
potash. In the current issue of Farm
and Preside are some interesting sug-
gestions as TO where new supply can
be obtained.
"A Florida gentleman has written to
several farm papers and magazines sug
gestion that off the coast of Florida
thousand miles or so is the Sargasso
sea filled with half-rotted seaweed from
which could be obtained all the potash
fertilizer needed in spite of the shut-o
of the German supply. The bureau of
soils expresses the opinion that this
supply is overestimated both as to ex-
tent and the amount Of potash in it but
that the great seaweed beds in our Pa
cific waters might be made TO yield plen-
ty of potash. Professor Udden of Tex
as seems 10 prove that there exists
fair probability Of Texas potash mines
a good deal like those Of Germany ANY

passed through deep deposits OF pot
ash-bearing salts. Over in the Great
Basin. in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah

cred potash deposits not very easy to
