Americans should not lend money to

neutral act which tends 10 sway the
sentiment Of the lender. and thus in
wolves him IN the fortunes of European
nations when he should be concerned

own country The very nation whose
bonds he holds may be at war with the
United States before the present war
Is over, or afterward. In that event
the borrowing nation is sure TO repud!-

ceirably the very money lent by an
American TO European power might
be used to equip that nation for war
against the United States.

Obstacles
To Be Overcome

Alfalfa is a very successful crop in
South Dakota, but occasionally one
hears OF a failure. The causes for oc-
casional failures in securing good
stand of alfalfa in this state are out
lined as follows by DR.. A. n. Hume,
~agronomist at State College:
One cause of failure may be insuffic-
lent moisture just at the time of seed
ing. This condition is also likely to
be accompanied with blowing of soil
and when it occurs 1t is known that
sharp sand particles cut off very
young alfalfa plants in an amazingly
short time. In certain sections of
South Dakota as in other parts Of the
northwest, it is eceedingly important
from this standpoint, therefore, that
soil blowing should be prevented,
which can largely be accomplished by
attending to it that plenty Of organic
matter is worked into soils. Ordinari-
ly speaking the lightest top dressing
of anu worked into the surface
will almost entirely prevent blowing.
Another cause of failure in alfalfa
stands comes about through improper
preparation of the seed bed. 1t may
be put down as a rule that alfalfa
wants a firm seed bed, albeit a finely
pulverized one.

Large Audience
Greets Singers

The male quartette Of Welsh sing
ers, who had twice before appeared
in this city, gave their third concert
here last Thursday evening. The fact
that they were greeted by a full house
again is evidence that their work Is
appreciated by all lovers of good
music in this locality. AS in previous
concerts, their program Thursday,
evening was a varied one, consisting
of quartette numbers, solos and duets.
Their programs are always well
chosen, consisting of light popular
music, plantation melodies and selec-
tons from the classics, thus giving
greater satisfaction to a mixed audi
ence. The concert was given under
the auspices of the NJ. Z. Aid, and the
society realized a good profit from the
proceeds.
