SWEET CLOVER

Theh ull on the sweet clover
seed is difficult to remove, and
for this reason both hulled and
unhulled seed are on the market.
Hulled seed can be used in a grass
seeder. while the unhulled might
give some trouble. The unhulled
seed can be mixed with small
grain and seeded more satisfac-
torily in this way than the clean
seed could. The hull is very light
and fits very close, and makes
little difference in the germinat-
ing of the seed. For all practical
purposes we believe that the I'M
hulled seed will give equally as
good results, and could be bought
considerably cheaper.
Sweet Glover seed can be pro-
duced wherever other clover or
alfalfa seed can be, and in Il great
many places where they cannot.
It can be cut with the ordinary
binder and threshed with the
ordinary threshing machine. The
seed can be secured much more
easily, and at less cost than that
of any other clover. Thi sis one
of the big advantages of sweet
clover other clovers OF alfalfa.
The hulls will not be all removed
from the sweet clover seed by the
ordinary thresher, but we do not
consider it essential to have this
hull removed.
Sweet clover seed is just the
same size as alfalfa seed, in fact
they are so nearly alike that even
experts in seed laboratories can
not always distinguish them.
Sweet clover often shows a high
er percentage of hard seed, seed
that is slow to take up moisture
and terminate, than alfalfa, but
the seeds have very high vitality,
and if seeded early in the spring
will practically all terminate. We
have recruited excellent results
with ten to twelve pounds of hull
ed seed per acre. A count showed
1873 plants to ten square feet, near
ly twenty to the square foot, the
second year.
For pasture or hay it might be
of advantage to seed somewhat
thicker than for seed, although
there would apparently be no ad-
vantage in having more than 81
plants to the square foot. This
field, seeded as above stated, made
fine quality of hay; and approx
imately six bushels of unhullej
seed per acre.
Late planting, in May or June
should be seeded more heavily
than early seeding, because many
Of the hard seeds will not germi-
nate. Our first seeding was made
May %, 1913. The soil was rather
dry at the time, and only a fail
stand was secured, although q
very liberal seeding of Is to q
pounds Of hulled seed per acre
was made. The following fall
i914-after the seed crop hac
been cut, there was fairly good
stand of young sweet clover
which produced good crop OF
seed in 1915. This plat has pro-
duced two seed crops in success
sion from one seeding land there
is a good stand of young clover
which will produce seed next year
If unhulled seed is sown, from ia
to 20 per cent more pounds OF
seed should be used, depending
on the quality of the seed, and
how much of it is hulled.

SUBSEA Is READY
TO TAKE ON CARGO
Unloading Of Freight Shows
Deutschland is Not as Large
As Was Estimated. y
PRESENTS NEW PROBLEMS

Baltimore, Nd, July l3.-Unload-
ing of the cargo of the German super
submarine Deutschland was complet-
ed early today and the ships rise re-
vealed that the estimates of its size
have been exaggerated. Instead of
being more than 800 feet long and 80
feet wide, its length is not more than
$50 feet and its width is less than rs
feet. Its overall draft, figured sub
merged, shows that it needs at least
thirty-two feet for complete submer-
gence.
Through all the feverish activity
of the last hours Of the unloading,
the tug Thomas F. Timmins played
the strong beams of a powerful
searchlight all about, sweeping the
waters, the shore lines and the
Deutschland's decks. A smaller pow
cred searchlight which had been set
up on the motor boat Etco reached
corners that were beyond the Tim
Minis light.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, is expected to come to
Baltimore today to inspect the
Deutschland. Mayor James H. Pres
ton will take luncheon with the am
bassador and Carl A. Luderitz, the
German consul here, and afterward
will get his first view of the interior
of the submarine. This evening the
mayor will entertain at dinner at his
home Count Won Bernstorff, Mr.. Lu-
deritz, Captain Paul Koenig of the
Deutschland and other distinguished
guests.

Five Persons Killed
By Ammonia Blast

New York, July l5.-Five persons
were killed, one is missing and at
least thirty others were injured to-
day, when an ammonia tank in a
Brooklyn butcher shop exploded,
completely wrecking a four-story
brick building. ..
SO terrific was the blast that
scarcely a brick in the building was
left standing on another, and the vic
tins we're crushed under tons of de-
bris. A passing trolley escaped the
avalanche OF bricks, but dozen pas
sengers aboard were injured, some by
shock and others by flying glass and
debris.
The known dead are: Martin
Schmidt, owner of the shop; two
clerks, the cashier, who was a
woman, and a delivery boy. A girl
whose father says she was on her
way to the store and who cannot be
found is believed also to have per-
ished.

UPHOLDS NEBRASKA
COURT COMMISSION
Judge of Federal Circuit Court
Of Appeals Hands Down q
Damage Case Opinion.
MORRIS b co. VS.. KoR1NEK

The right Of the Nebraska state su-
preme court commission to adjudicatc
cases brought before it was upheld in
an opinion handed down by Walter
I. Smith of Council Bluffs, judge OF
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals.
Smiths ruling was made in the
case of Morris & Co. against John
Korinek, growing out of a damage
suit in which Korinek was awarded
$500 damages in Nebraska courts
for personal injuries received while
employed at the Morris plant.
Korinek's suit was tried before
Judge Leslie and the verdict sus-
tanned in supreme court after hear
ing before the commission.
Counsel for Morris & Co. then
asked Judge Munger in federal court
to enjoin collection of the judgment,
on grounds that supreme court COM
mission of Nebraska was in conflict
with the constitution of this state
and that its operation had deprived
the defendant OF its rights to equal
treatment under the law accorded by
the constitution of the United States.
Munger Denies Injunction.
Munger denied the injunction and
the case was appealed to the United
States circuit court Of appeals.
Smiths decision was rendered on an
application to restrain collection of
the judgment until the circuit court
had rendered decision on the ap-
peal. ..., an.
Smith issued a temporary injunc-
ton some days ago, but his order va
Gates this injunction and refuses to
grant a restraining order. Unless the
United States supreme court inter
venes, Korinek will be able to get
him money at once. His attorney, w
R. Patrick, applied for writ of exc
cution .,.
Smith, in upholdng the right OF
the supreme court commission to
pass upon this case, says that the
Nebraska supreme court has already
recognized the supreme court COM
mission as a constitutional body, so
far as the Nebraska state constitu-
ton is concerned.
Failed to Challenge.
He rules, however, that Morris &
Co. probably would have had the
right to refuse to have their case
heard by the commission, but that as
they failed to challenge, the body
when the case was pending, they
have no righ to do so now.
Smith further rules that the COM
mission did not deprive Morris &
Co. OF their rights under the consti-
tuition of the United States. h
1t is considered. possible that
Smiths decision will be permitted to
stand unchalleneged, thereby for the
present at least determining the le-
gality OF the supreme court commits
sion, so far as its constitutionality is
concerned.
The supreme court commission is
body authorized under an act OF
the legislature OF 1915 to aid the su-
premc court in relieving its congestcd
docket. Its members are attorneys
appointed BY Governor Morehead,
who act substantially as judges Of the
State supreme court.

SAYS SAN ANTONIO
Is AN ARMED CAMP
Texan, Visiting In Omaha, Tells
of Conditions on Border as
Caused by Mobilization.
SEE REPUBLICAN STRENGTH

THE streets of San Antonio re-
semble an armed camp these days"
declared Walter Sleeves, business
man of that city, who is visiting in
Omaha. There are about 10000
troops there all the time, coming and
going every day. A large number Of
regulars were stationed at San An
tonic last spring, but most Of them
have been displaced Jby guardsmen
now.
"The main streets are congested
with traffic caused by the mobiliza-
ton, and it is not uncommon to see
dozen or more big army trucks
loaded with army supplies and troop
'ers going down the street, Business
Is good in San Antonio on account OF
the money which the guardsmen
spend. VIZ
1T is queer thing to US Texans
to see how very little many Of the
eastern Guard know about our coun-
try. Several Of the members OF the
New York Guard had an idea that
when they had little leisure in San
Antonio that they would hire jit-
ney and run down and take a look
at the border, but when they discov-
cred that il was about as far from
San Antonio to the border as from
New York to Albany, they decided
to wait until they were ordered south.
MANY Of the guardsmen, particu-
larly those from the east, are taking
the mobilization more in the nature
of long vacation than anything else.
1t is not an uncommon sight to see a
private in the rear ranks of one of the
eastern regiments riding about in his
automobile, which he has had shipped
down to him for use in the hours
when he is off duty.

London, July l3.-The recovery of

wonder to military writer's. At least
six great armies are engaged against

sia's western front. All of them are
using great quantities Of ammuni-
ton, even those not definitely on the
offensive. .......as
The forces under Grand Duke
Nicholas in Armenia and Persia have
been fighting vigorously against the
Turks for months. A few weeks ago
parts OF these forces, particularly
those west of Erzerum were COM
PEELED to fall back in the face of
stronger Turkish army. Early this
week the grand duke resumed the
offensive in this region and recap
tured Mamakhatun, fifty miles west
Of Erzerum, so that the Turks have
fallen back some twenty-five miles
from the furthest point reached in
their counter offensive.
Battle for Kovel.
Meanwhile the armies directly
south OF the Pinsk marshes are hght-
ing pitched battle with the Austro-
German forces OF General Won Lin
singer, along the line of the Stokhod
river. 1t probably will be some days
before the decision Is reached, a. the
Teutons have brought up very strong
reinforcements in the hope Of retain-
ing possession of Kovel, loss of which
would necessitate a regrouping over
a long stretch of the front.
North OF the Pinsk marshes the
fighting at present is largely with ar
tillery. In Galicia the Russian armies
are reforming for continuation Of the
offensive.

ken of the Eastern Forwarding COM
pany, the local agency for the

Hilken, and Simon Lake, submarine
inventor. The vessels, II the line
materializes, will have a tonnage of
