SEEDING ALFALFA IN CORN

The seeding of alfalfa into corn is

cessfully o only here but elsewhere
and the practice is gal & favor rath-
er than otherwise.
1t has long b. suggested that the
seeding Of alfalfa N lne early spring
with a thin nurse crop of early oats
usually results in a stand of alfalfa
without missing a crop for the year in
which the alfalfa is sown. This same
advantage also results when the alfalfa
seed is put into standing corn, say in
the middle part Of August. The meth
cd of seeding alfalfa in corn has the
additional advantage that it misses the
early weeds. The early weeds, name
ly those weed pests which start in the
early part of the season are especially
harmful to alfalfa. Only a few com.
paratively harmless species of weeds
make a start as late as August. Con,
s%eQuently. SO far as weed competition
is concerned, there is great advantage
in seeding alfalfa late.

in excellent shape for an alfalfa seed

usual rate of eight pounds per acre. II

ing to reports.
There is one obvious objection to
seeding alfalfa into corn and that is,
the interference of the corn stalks,
Those who have tried it, however, say
that this interference is not great
Moreover, it is better to have alfalfa
hay with a few corn stalks in it than
to have no alfalfa hay at all.
Suppose while we are riding the cul
tivator up and down the rows this sum

thinking about the d~esirability of seed
ing alfalfa in corn.
Every once in a while somebody

be exempt from taxation. The fact
that women feel they should have the
privilege of exercising their rights with
the ballot is of minor consideration.
They believe this to be the means Dy
which they can accomplish much good.
Who are the main mes h are
The liquor men. They know women
will strike and strike hard at a traffic
which Is robbing them of sons, hus-
bands and brothers. The temperance
question is one which affects so many
people in so many ways-flling our
insane asylums, penitentiaries, etc.
Women by sharing the poverty, sor-
row and disgrace, are as much the vic
tins as the men and wan the priv
ilege of helping to solve this great
problem in the only way in which 1T
can be solved. The very fact that
these men are opposed to woman suf-
frage shows that they know what wo-
men will dc t their business and is
one reason why good men should give
them the chance to do it.
The strides which have been made
in educational lines since be-
gan to vote at school elections is proof
of what they are doing there.

ing.
They will help to put clean men In
office who will enforce the laws after
they have been passed. They could
not make any great change all at once,
but little by little, the change would
be effected which would be for the ulti-
mate good of the people.
Women should be allowed to vote
because in this way they will be more
interested in government, and in be-
coming interested will study the ques.
ton and develop a higher sense of civ
ic responsibilities and thus be better
fitted to train the future citizens.
In order to have the best govern
ment the father and mother must both
be interested and have equal rights.
In order to have the best national gov
eminent women as well as men must
shoulder the responsibilities.
These are a few of the reasons why
women should vote. Can any fair
minded, thinking man give n reason
why women should not vote?
A few years hence and history will
record the fact that formerly women
we're not permitted to vote.

THE total vote in this state will in
all probability exceed 100000. as it
has in the last three presidential
years" said Mr.. Tanner. No candi-
date on the democratic ticket in this
state has ever received more than
10000 votes. No republican candi-
date for president or governor in any
of the last three presidential years
has received in this state less than
100000 votes. except i'll 1912. when the
republican vote was divided between
the republican and progressive candi-
dates. The vote is not so divided this
year, most OF the voters who were
progressives four years ago have re-
turned TO the republican party, and
those who continue to maintain a
separate party have endorsed the re-
publican candidates for president and
governor.
THE democrat vote has been falling
off since 1908 in New York state. In
