bring greater profits than five or
ten acres put into alfalfa, provided the
work is done properly and good
stand Is secured.
Alfalfa a Poor Weed Fighter.
Alfalfa, when small, grows slowly
md is not good weed fighter-that is,
1t cannot compete with weeds, and es-
pecially with crab grass and foxtail
during the dry weather Of July and Au-
gust.
The following methods of seeding al
falfa ore among those that have been
most successful In the United States:
Late Summer Seeding.
Probably no method will more GER
tainly assure good stand than to ma
nure a piece Of stubble ground and
fall plow Ii, or manure the ground I'm
winter or spring. disk 1t thoroughly as
soon as possible In the spring (frst
part Of ApriD. plow the latter part Of
April, and again disk. 1t should be
summer fallowed, that Is, dlsked or
narrowed, often enough during May,
June, and the first part of July, to kill
the weeds and to prevent the ground
from becoming hard. Sometime during
the last part OF July or the early part
Of August the ground should be disked
and harrcwed and the seed sewn at
once with drill, or broadcast and har-
rowed In.
Oat or wheat stubble ground ma
nured and fall plowed Is especially
good for alfalfa. Disk tho ground the
following spring as soon as dry enough
to work, summer fallow and seed as
described above.
This method has the advantage Of
1. Clearing the ground OF weeds, the
greatest enemy Of alfalfa.
2. Seeding comes at a slack time
when the work can be doas without
neglecting other crops.
g. n fnsurcs firm, solid seedbed

the seed

bed. About the first week in August
seed the alfalfa as described above.
Spring Seeding With Nurse Crop.
A fourth method Is to seed In the
spring with light nurse crop Of early
oats or barley. In case oats are used,
1t is best to SOW not more than bushel
TO the acre. cutting them when I'M
bloom for hay. The advantages of
this method and also of the second and
third methods mentioned above are
that we secure n crop and do not lose
the use of the ground for one year.
Some of our best alfalfa growers have
used the beardless barley as nurse
crop with good results In spring seed
ing.
Good Results From June Seeding.
Some of the best stands OF alfalfa
have been secured by seeding In the
middle or last of June. For June seed:

GET A START WITH ALFALFA

There are few farmers whose profits
would not be increased greatly by rails
Ing alfalfa.
There Is no combination Of feed so
economical for production of beef,
pork, milk, butter and eggs, and for
growing animals az corn and alfalfa.
We need alfalfa, because II balances
the corn ration and saves large waste
of starch which always takes place
where corn is fed alone. We need al
falfa because we can, In this way
grow on our farms the protein morS
proftably than we can buy it in manu-
featured feedstuffs. We need alfalfa
because it enriches the soil and en-
ableS us to grow larger crops Of corn,
oats and other grain; because 1t pro-
duces on an average double the feed
value per acre that red clover or any
other forage crop will produce. AL
falfa is no harder to grow than any of
the other forage crops. 1t adapts Itself
readily to all kinds of conditions of soil
and climate and produces three and
sometimes four crops year in the
corn belt; In the cotton belt states,
sometimes seven and eight crops.
When good stand is once assured it
lasts four or five yeare.'n humid re-
giOns, and much longer in states west
of the Mississippi river. Alfalfa can
be fed to all kinds Of farm animals and
has no superior as a hog pasture. 1t
adds humus to the soil and resists
drought better than any other crop.
No piece Of ground on the farm will

Good Method for Small Patch.
For small patch OF two or three
acres perhaps the second most salts
factory method is to manure a piece
Of ground near the barn where II can
be most conveniently used for hog pas
ture. The ground should be plowed,
fitted and sOwed TO rape, early In the
spring. This should be used for hog
pasture during May and June. During
the first week of July the rape stubble
should be moved down and the ground
thoroughly dlsked, then plowed and
again disked and narrowed.
Any time during the last week Of
July or the first week Of August, the
ground should be thoroughly disked
and worked down so that it is firm and
solid. If there should come rain dur
ing the latter part Of July or the first
OF August, It Is good plan to prepare
the ground and SOW the seed at once
while there is sufficient moisture In
the ground to sprout the seed and give
the young alfalfa good start.
Alfalfa After Barley or Early Oats.
A third method, and one with some
advantages over the others, where the
season is not too dry, is to grow n crop
OF winter wheat, barley, early oats, or
early potatoes, and follow that crop
with alfalfa.
AS soon as the g~rsn is ripe it should
be cut and removed from the field. Ap-
ply ten or fifteen loads Of manure to
the acre. Disk the ground to mix the
manure and stubble with the soil, and
plow and again disk and harrow and
work down to give firm, solid seed

WORD ABOUT CHEWING GUM
IL AIleviates the Panes Of Hunger and
Makes a Cut in the
Board Bill.

The question, "Why Is chewing
gum?" has at last been answered.
Chewing gum, according to DIR. Anton
Carlson, associate professor of physi-
ology at the University OF Chicago, re-
duces the board bill.
Doctor Carlson tells of hundreds or
experiments on humans, dogs, guinea
pigs and rabbits, proving that hunger
pangs diminish with use of chewing
gum, chewing tobacco. cigars and
cigarettes. The direct result of gnaw-
ing Mt a piece of gum Is the stimula-
ton of nerves in the mouth. This sem
sation causes n decrease In stomach
contractions, thus assuaging the sharp
est appetite.
Professor Carlson found whisky or
other strong alcoholic beverages intro
duced into the empty stomach OF dogs
In sufficient amount will abolish the
hunger contractions of tie stomach for
36 hours.
Doctor Carlson advocates semian-
naal period of starvation as n means
OF lengthening the span OF life and OBJ
tanning greater enjoyment from hv-
Ing.
There Is no pain or suffering In
volved In starvation" he says. Dur
ing the entire period of abstinence
from food during my experiments the
hunger sensation was strong enoughsto
cause some discomfort. but not to a
degree that could be called pain. This
discomfort was at no time sufficient to
interfere seriously with work"

RELIABLE REMEDY FOR LICE
Any Good, Mild Grease, Either Lard
or Meat Fryinss Mixed With
Kerosene, Is Favored.

For chicken lice one OF the most
reliable remedies Is any good. mild
grease. either lard or meat fryings, or
n mixture OF any with little kero-
seDe. II won't hurt the chicks or large
fowls as long as you don't get IL too

Christmas Candies.

LACE NUTS are very toothsone
NJ indeed and may be prepared at
home at much less than they
cost in the shops. For the sirup which
makes the glace you vi need two
cupfuls of ordinary sugar, a cupful of
boiling water and a teaspoonful CT
cream of tartar. Put these in a smooth
saucepan and heat to the boiling point.
Let boil, but do not stir until the sirup
begins to discolor. After a few min
utes the sugar will stick to the side Of
the pan. Remove this and then put
the saucepan with the boiling strip i'll
a large pan of cold water. This will
stop the boiling at once. When this
has stopped put the saucepan In a pan
of hot water during the dipping. A
long hatpin is handy to manage the
nuts, which should be dipped into tho
strip separately and then placed on
oiled paper to cool.
Maple sugar sweets are quite easy
to make, requiring a cupful of milk
and one of cream for a pound of ma
pie sugar. Break the sugar into small
pieces and stir constantly. When the
whole mixture has boiled till a few
drops of cold water hardens stir In a
cupful and a half of nut meats. Pour
into a buttered dish and when hard
break into pieces like molasses candy.
For Chocolate Caramels all you need
Is a pound of brown sugar, a quarter
pound of unsweetened shaved choco-
late and half a cupful of water. Boil
the same as fudge and before remov-
ing from the fire add a generous lump
Of butter and cupful of walnut or 9th
err nut meats if you like, though the
nuts may be omitted. After it is pour
ed into a butter pan, cut it in squares
before it gets hard.

What Has Become of the Hospital?

11No
Oakhurst, Pleasantville.
Editors Pleasantville Press
What has become of the old idea of the
Pleasantville hospital?
Some two years ago we had a considerable
agitation for a hospital in this town. The
most influential people in the town and
roundabout were interested in the project.
Then 1, through the necessities attendant on
illness, had to be away, and now on my re-
turn l find that, though everything else in
the district has been boosted, the hospital
plan seems to have fallen quite dead
This town will never prosper to the point
to which we all wish to see it prosper unless
we can support a hospital. We have the
doctors right here to make up a thoroughly
efficient staff. The incoming mayor, Mr..
Crawford, is heartily in favor of a local
hospital, and the project was already so well
advanced several years ago that all of the
original work need not be done over again.
Would it not be possible in some fashion
to appoint a new committee to agitate and
arrange for this hospital need in our COM
munity. Mr.. Adams, the present mayor, has
asked what is to be done with the furniture
which is now stored in the old council cham
Der. Something should be done at least by
spring in this matter, and I am hereby TAX
ing the liberty of calling your attention, and
the attention of all our townspeople, to it.

Opened her up to the last notch and
cleared the ravine with only slight
bump for the passengers. Getting out

to be eight feet wide and five deep and
to have plunged into it would have
meant serious injury to every one in

FORT VALLEYS SCHOOL
is DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fort Valley, August Sort Valleys
$4,000 school building was discovered
to be burning early Wednesday morn
ing and for long time the fire was
unmanageable.
1t is thought the fire started about
the middle Of the night Tuesday and
smoldered through the night. Its origin
IS unknown.
The damage is great on the interior
of the building, the smoke running the
walls and woodwork, besides the dam
age by water and flames. Practically
the entire building will have to be
done over inside Repairs will be
needed in the basement where the fire
started.
Fort Valleys fire company worked
faithfully for an hour and half be-
fore the flames were eXtinguished, and
some of the fremen were almost over
come by the dense smoke.

building, which is one of the finest
public buildings in the state, and the
entire community deplores the loss
