WHEN AND HOW TO SOW
ALFALFA.


The best time for seeding alfalfa
in all of Maryland, excepting the
mountain section, is between August
LIST and September 1st; preferably be,
tween the middle and last of August.
In the mountain section seeding may
commence after June 18th, but usually
it is better to wait until about the
middle of July. Nothing is gained by
spring seeding, for little or no hay is
obtained that season, because weeds
usually crowd out the young alfalfa
plants during the hot summer. On
the other hand, fall seeding will yield
full crops the following spring and is
seldom subject to serious injury by
weeds the first year.
The rate of seeding should be %
pounds per acre. The seed should be
zown by itself; never with nurse
crop. The method of seeding may
be broadcasting by hand or with one
of the various makes of machines on
the market for that purpose Among
these the Wheel-barrow seeder gives
good satisfaction. The seed should be
covered to depth of about 1s-inch,
and for doing this no implement is
better suited than spike tooth harrow
with the teeth slanting back, or a
weeder.

FRUIT A PROFITABLE

any, more to thin at the proper season,
than It does to pick the same fruit at
the harvest time. In addition there will
be a higher percentage of good fruit,

The ideal method of thinning is

Patriotism

A nation is made great, not by

them; not by it's mines. but by

by its railways, but by the men
who build and run them. Ameri.
ca was q great land when Column
bus discovered it; Americans have
made of it q great Nation.
In ITO our fathers had vison
of a new Nation conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are created
equal" Without an army they
fought the greatest of existing
world empires that they might
realize this vison. A third Of q
century later, without a navy they
fought the greatest navy in the
world that they might win for their
Nation the freedom Of the seas.
Half a century larter than they

while they offered land freely to
any farmer who would live upon

immigrants on equal terms the

The cynic who can see in this
history only q theme for his egotis-
tical satire is no true American,
whatever his parentage, whatever
his birthplace. He who looks with
pride upon this history which his
fathers have written by their heroic
deeds, who accepts with gratitude
the inheritance which they have
bsqueathed to him, and who high
ly resolves to preserve this inheri-
tance unimpaired and to pass it on
