FIRST PAY DAY OF NEW YORK MILITIAMEN
 ON THE BORDER

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 McALLEN, Texo August 9.-This is scheduled to be the first pay day for New York militia troops on bord- CT protection duty for Uncle Sam. They will receive pay only for the days they have served the federal government, not for the time they spent waiting regular army officers in armories at home, for which the state must pay.
 Hundreds of the guardsmen asked that the government send their pay direct to their families, where cash IS most needed The government declin- ed to do this saying it was impossible under army rules. The men will have to wait until their money gets here, then reforward it to New York.

bay, easily and securely fortified by a series of emplacements -on Gaines Head and on the opposite shore, a dis tance of approximately a mile, thus making a veritable Narrows through which an enemy ship could never live; why should Seward worry as to It's future growth and stability?
 It has been said that we now in Alaska are here fifty years too soon that we are one generation ahead of the game. Yet, at times we all feel that we are either one generation too late or one too early, and while there may be some truth in the statement that development is slow in Alaska, we can best benefit ourselves and our neighbors by taking things as they are and making the best of each and every opportunity.
 Some years ago, in Juneau, a Boost CTS Club was formed of the members of one of it's civic organizations and each man was pledged in honor, for the period of sixty days, to not say an unkind word as to neighbors, or make a derogatory statement as to any enterprise then contcmplatcd-in other words quit knocking" and be. come a live wire "booster." The change in the community and its i'm mediate effect upon the people of that section as a whole caused even som nolent sore-heads to believe the sun did really shine, although intermittcn- ly.
 Every man, woman and child iE the Third division has a vital and live in- tcrcst in the construction of our rail road. We may disagree as to the wis dom or lack of wisdom displayed by those in control of the actual work we may not believe in government real estate ventures as to townsites- We may not be able to reconcile ai parent sights and apparent fayorit- ism as to one or the other locapity- we may believe the project a "gold- brick" handed out as a sop to the Alaskan people-we may believe the plan of government ownership to be wise and statesmanIike effort to give form of true government m its application to the needs of our citi- zcns. But, whatever our feeling, whatever our belief, whatever our local preiudices might demand, one fact remains, and one alone, that is constant quibbIing between local communities never has and never can gain a desired end.
 The men building the railroad are our men; they are paid by our contri- buttons to the Federal government; they are working for the biggest cor poration known in the history of the world the corporation of the United States, the stockholders of which con, sist of our citizens.

 CLEVELAND, August 9.-Bare- legged and, in most cases barefooted, Cleveland girls are dancing on the beaches of Lake Erie here today. The fad was started by Miss Millie Peck ham and Miss Byrle McCuIlom, fol- lowing visit to San Francisco. They heard that an English scientist said all vitality is taken in through the soles of the feet. Cleveland girls say that water soaked sand make the best kind of a dance floor.

Protect Alfalfa Hay.

Alfalfa hay should not be left unpro-
tected from rains. as Is now the prac-
tice on many farms. according to Ralph
Kenny. assistant professor in agron.
omy in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
well cured alfalfa hay is well worth
the extra expense involved in protec-
ton from exposure to rain and unfa.
vorable weather" says Mr.. Kenny
''Such hay will command a high price
on the market II sold and will all be In
a salable condition. Likewise If fed on
the farm 1t will have more nutritive
value than If exposed to all kinds of
weather.
Cheap sheds for storing alfalfa may
be constructed from poles twenty feet
long set into the ground and supporting
a pitched roof Of corrugated steel or
some prepared roofing. The sides need
only be walled for the upper five to
seven feet. thus preventing dashing
rains from beating into the stored hay"

year they are grown with it. One
neighbor whose farm has been visited
by many agricultural authorities states
that soys grown with corn on his
farm increase the productivity of the
corn about ten bushels to>the acre.
We have never grown finer we'll ma
tured, solid ears of corn than that
grown with soy beans. Through an
abnormally wet season last year the
corn planted in two fields with soys
was better than that of two other
fields Of corn without, and while most
of this was cut for silage it would be
difficult to draw comparison in yield,
but judging from the compact, well
maturing ears it was little superior.
Farmers who have grown these two
crops separately have experienced some
difficulty in harvesting them for silage.
because it necessitates two sets Of Ia
borers and the use Of extra tools, one
to cut the corn and the other to harvest
the soy beans. Growing the two to-
gether greatly facilitates the work of
SLIDING, for at single operation with
the corn binder the two are bound to-
gether in bundles that are easily ham
died. Not only that, but we have ex-
actly the same proportion Of soy beans
and corn all through and thoroughly
mixed together by the silage cutter,
and 1t only requires one man at the
table of the cutter to feed.
One objection to sowing soy beans
with what is termed silage corn is that
the silage corn produces so much heavy
foliage. which shades the beans and
stunts their growth. Soy beans for
good development require a moderate
amount of direct sunlight. Corn like
Reds Yellow Dent does not bear so
much heavy foliage nor grow so tall as
to shut out sufficient light for the beans
to thrive and come to full maturity.
Even when one intends to shred fod.
der and he has a binder with which to
cut the corn the feeding value Of the
fodder can be greatly improved by
growing soy beans with the corn. It
also improves the stalk pasture If one
shucks the corn early and does not
mind the Inconvenience Of the vines.
which Is not much worse than the
weeds in some corn1elds. One man

this rich feed and do little injury to
the corn. After the succulent leaves
have all been eaten there are left the
stems and some Of the seed pods when
hogs are given access to the field for
begging down the corn.

AN ULTRA MODERN FARM.

Methods of Charles r. Seabrook Have
Gained Worldwide Renown.
We have heard much about intensive
farming abroad and the agricultural
cunning displayed in other countries,
writes Robert G.. Skerrett in the New
York Times. We are repeatedly told
that we must learn from foreigners
how to coax the most and the best out
of the soil. It will crafty our patriot
ic pride to know that the Seabrook
farm, owned by Charles F. Seabrook
and located near Bridgeton, N. j.. is
recognized today as an international
model, and Investigators come from all
parts of the world to learn how things
are done in Cumberland county.
For example, early potatoes are al
ways at premium. and the southern
trucker has long enjoyed a natural ad-
vantage in the New York markets.
Just the same Mr.. Seabrook has found
way to stimulate the maturing Of
certain strains Of tubers early enough
to secure high price here and. what
Is even more important, to make every
acre give an extraordinarily gener-
GUS yield. In the same neighborhood,
where old style farming Is still prac-
ticed, tie average crop per acre ranges
anywhere from 100 to 200 bushels, but
| on the !,eabrook farm 625 bushels Of
potatoes are harvested per acre. and
earlier in the season.
The Seabrook farm has a typical
trucking soil, and its abnormal produc.
tiveness is the result of combination
Of heavy fertilizing and overhead sprin.
king. The acres are located within
nine miles Of Delaware bay and some
thing like twoscore miles away from
the Atlantic ocean. These bodies Of
water help to stabilize the local eli
mate, and the result is a noticeably
earlier growing season in the spring
and later one in the fall. This, in
part, explains why it Is possible to
make the Cumberland county farm
participate in the high market prices
established by produce shipped from
points much farther south which must
pay larger charges for transportation
and deal with the difficulty of reaching
the metropolis in first class condition.
Six years ago Mr.. Seabrook installed
the first Of his overhead piping on three
acres Of his farm. Since then. year by
year, he has made additions as the de-
mand for his market specialties grew.
The crops raised near Bridgeton on this
model farm are lettuce. romaine, straw.
berries. potatoes. celery. cabbage. on.
ions. spinach. endives. carrots. beets
radishes and tomatoes. By reason OF
the system of irrigation employed the
gross earnings per acre have been
found to be about thirty times those
Of the ordinary farm! Indeed. the re
suits afford much richer returns thar
are possible upon tracts in the west ir
rigated by bitches. Further than that
the water required for this service or
the Cumberland county farm Is only i
small percentage of that commonly
used for irrigating western acreage.
