Time and space do not permit OF
going into these questions in detail. AS
many facts as possible under the
circum stances were set forth in the
editorial of Mondays issue. But
this much should be understood. A

1t publishes the vast majority of oc-
currences, the good, the bad, and the

news columns are made up to suit
the public taste insofar as that taste
is known to the news editor. exper-
fenced in satisfying the demand for
news of all kinds. The wheat and
the chaff are all there in the news
columns. 1t is in the editorial COL
umns that the newspaper attempts to
point out the really important hap
renings of the moment, and to show
how these things may be connected
with past events, or what may occur;
in the future. If there is any place
in which the mental calibre Of a
newspaper may be guaged it is in its
editorial columns. The best thought
and time and attention are given to
this department Of the paper, what
though the time is ever short wher
publication must go on day after day,
once every twenty-four hours.
The newspaper is an imperfect in
stitution, just as all human organiza-
tons and the works of man are i'm
perfect, and prone to fallibility. From
the olden days when it's intrinsic lit
erary excellance was the first consid-
GRAFTON it has gradually gone through
the stages of fissiparous process until
today its columns, so rapidly put to-
gether, are assem- bled for purposes of
information rather than edification.
although they have gradually yielded
authority to the managerial functions,
have not yet reached the point where
sagacity of opinion is not the true
goal of Journalistic endeavors. The
editor of a newspaper strives his ut
most TO better the community IL
which he lives, and this by directing
thought in the proper channels; but,
as has been aptly remarked, the only
editor who can please all his clientele
is one who lies prone, his arms folded
on his breast and a plate glass over
his face.

(By P. G. HOLDEN, Former Dean of
 Iowa State College)
 1noculation never hurts, is generally growing of alfalfa.
 In regions where alfalfa has not been grown it is frequently found to be very beneficial to inoculate the ground by sowing three or four hun dred pounds of soil secured from field where alfalfa has been grown for q number of years; or where 1t Is more convenient, artificial cultures such as nitrogen, farmogerm, etc., may be ap- piled.
 We'll Prepared Seed Bed.
 Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or sowed broadcast and narrowed in. The seed can be more evenly distributed if one-half Is sown in one direction and the other half sown at right angles. It is always a good plan to SOW the seed a little thicker around the edges of the field, as this portion of the field is more subject to injury from insects, foxtail, etc.
 While 1t is the custom in the humid regions to SOW 20 pounds of seed to the acre, ten to twelve pounds is suffi- cient. If evenly distributed this will give from fifty to sixty seeds for every square foot, while one thrifty plant to the square foot is sufficient.
 A well-prepared, firm, solid seedbed, plenty of good barnyard manure, and summer fallow to- kill the weeds, are most important. Then comes lime. 1noculation and phosphorus are ire quently beneficial. Ground too wet for corn is not suited to alfalfa
 Cut at Proper Time.
 When possible to do so it is best to cut alfalfa in the late afternoon or evening. Dew or rain on the freshly cut alfalfa will not injure it. In the morning the tedder should be started as soon as most of the dew is off and before there is any danger of knocking off the leaves. It is often advisable to go over it more than once. It should be cut before it is in full bloom or as soon as the young sprouts or shoots start to grow at the base of the plant.
 When alfalfa is left too long before

VELVET BEAN MEAL FOR COW
Florida Station Finds Feed Equal in Value to Cottonseed MeaI-
 Cheaper to Raise.

The Florida station found that cows produced as much milk when fed a ration of 43 pounds of velvet beans in the pod, 10 pounds wheat bran and 24.5 pounds Japanese cane silage as when given ration of 3 pounds cot tonseed meal, 10 pounds bran, and 34 pounds cane silage. Hence 4.3 pounds of velvet beans in the pod were fully equal to 3 pounds of cottonseed meal. The station further states that the Florida farmer can produce about five tons of velvet beans for the cost of one ton of cottonseed meal.
 The state market agent has received reports that velvet beans in the pod can be procured at $14 per ton in Ala bama and in Georgia.-Clemson Col lege Bulletin.

cutting, the stems become woody, and the yield of the next crop is greatly reduced, and in addition the leaves, which are the most valuable part of the plant, fall off
 Equal to Wheat Bran.
 The alfalfa should be raked and either put in the barn, or if 1t is not sufficiently dry, put into haycocks. It is q matter of economy to have two or three hundred hay caps (made of six-cent muslin one yard square) to use in case of bad weather. You may think this is considerable bother, but there is no use in growing alfalfa and then allowing 1t to spoil.
 When we remember that good al- falfa brings us i'll actual results nearly as great returns as wheat bran, we can better realize the importance of taking care of it. If any of us had 800 "haycocks of bran" in the field, we would take care of them, but with al- falfa we think of it as "just hay"
 Alfalfa hay Is rather hard to cure, but it is also true that it can be placed in the barn or in stacks much greener than any other kind of hay. Twenty pounds of salt sprinkled over each load of hay will help to prevent heating and add to the palatability of the hay.
 Where alfalfa is used for pasture, care should be taken to avoid pastur- ing it too closely; it should not be pas tured down closer than six inches and be sure to leave eight to twelve inches for winter protection. Don't turn stock on too early in the spring.
 Alfalfa on Every Farm.
 Remember that alfalfa can be grown on your farm. It is no more difficult to grow than clover and Is more hardy when once established.
 It adapts itself to all kinds and con- ditions of soil and climate. Alfalfa produces three and sometimes four crops per year in the corn belt.
 Alfalfa is the cheapest source of pro- tein. When wheat bran is worth $22 per ton, good alfalfa hay is worth $20 to $22 per ton.
 Alfalfa is the most enriching crop we have, and insures larger yields from the crops that follow.

Sweet Sorghums Come at Time It Is Difficult to Have Other
 Green Feed.

(By W. R. DODSON, Director of EXperi-
 ment Station, Louisiana State UniVer-
 sity)
 The sweet sorghums make very ac- ceptable forage for hogs in the early summer, coming at time when it is sometimes difficult to have other green feed. Sorghums are most serviceablc for grazing during May, June and early July.
 The results of experiments at the Louisiana station have not indicated the high value of sorghums as a graz ing or soiling crop for hogs they are reputed to have. In fact, we do not place very high value on them, and commend their use only as make shift. The only strong points in their favor are that they give quick returns, and may be had about the time winter crops are not sufficiently matured for best service.
 The Early Amber, Tarly Orange or Coleman are to be preferred. Any of these may be sown in drills as soon as danger of frost is passed, though growth will not be rapid until warm weather prevails. The middle of March to the first of April is ordinarily a good time to plant sorghum. However, the crop may be planted as late as the first of August When soWn in drills, with rows of three and half feet apart, it takes about twelve pounds per acre to give thick stand. It is best to plant the seed thick so the stalks will be small.
 The crop should be well cultivated until 1t is about two feet high, if it is to be grazed, or as conditions may re- quire, if it is to be soiled. Planted in early spring, the sorghums will ma ture in about 110 to 120 days.

Lord Bryce as a Walker

A newspaper correspondent recently returned from Somewhere in France" tells me story of visit paid by Lord Bryce to the trenches. Ar officer was sketching out little trip along the front which he proposed to make with the distinguished visitor the next day, but, suddenly remembering that Lord Bryce is seventy-eight, suggested that perhaps the program involved too long q walk. Lord Bryce at once answered that as an old Alpinist he would un- dertake to walk against his much younger officer friend, himself, by the way, an Alpinist of some distinction. And when next day the two returned to camp, after trudging through trenches for many miles, the younger man had to confess that he was very much more done up than his compan- Westminster Gazette.

Many Factors Enter Into Cause for Increased Interest Being Taken
 in Swine Industry.
By I. W. CARPENTER, Mississippi Ex-
 pertinent StationD

CBy l. w. CARPENTER, Mississippi Ex-
 pertinent StationD
 Due to the recent boom in pork pro- duction, more people are going into the hog business than ever before. This is accounted for by several fac tors, the greatest doubtless being the splendid work of the county agents in securing a market for the small breed CT through cooperative shipping. Since learning the prices to be ex- pected on the central markets many men who started out by shipping five or ten hogs along with their neighbors' shipments are now preparing to ship in carload lots. Other factors in the growth of the hog industry are the pig club work, and the failure of the cot ton crop causing the farmer to raise hogs as the next best cash crop.
 To get the best results in hog raising rotation of pasture and forage crops must be planted to furnish grazing the year round, and it is essential that good supply of feed be assured before buying or breeding the hogs. The boar, too, should be the best available, this point often being the factor that de- termineS success or failure iD pork production. Pigs sired by a good boar will grow better in the feed lot and bring a premium on the market. And last, but not least, the most success ful men carefully outline plans, get ting the criticisms of experienced men and adhering to schedule after having secured the best available information on the subject
