Completing
An Active
Anniversary
Month

This has been fine Birth
day Misunderstanding our
SD Anniversary - packed
full of enthusiasm and good
merchandise offerings and
public interest and apprccia-
ton.
1t is pleasant to have such
an Anniversary. with plenty
of friends TO celebrate it with
US so heartily. 1t proves TO
us anew that this old, but
new Store, is really a pretty
important part of Brooklyn
and means something definite
to a great many people.
If We can 60 on in this
way, keeping pace with
Brooklyn's growth and de
velopment, and knowing that
we shall mean as much to the
larger Brooklyn, proportion
ately. as we have to the COM
munity for the past ffty-two
wears. we shall be more than
contented.
For the last three days
of this Anniversary Month,
which comes TO a close on
Wednesday, there are many
stirring Special Sales of the
utmost Importance, beginning
with a magnificent group of
offerings for Mondays sell
ing.
OF chief Importance is the
Half Price Clearance of
Furniture as the climax of
the February Furniture Sale.
These last three days will
be extremely profitable to
you. They provide a great
many of the styles and ne
cessities of living as well as
some of the Injuries, at saw
ings that are important in
these high-cost times. Be
sure to take advantage of
them.

lent in the north, alfalfa planted on a
poorly drained soil is practically
doomed. The alternate freezing and
thawing of the earth cause it to
heave and thus tear apart the upper
part of the plant from its root. Or,
an ice sheet may form over the field
during the winter and the plant will
be smothered to death.
3. Select northern grown seed.
Both Grimm and northern seed have
been sown on demonstration plots
but we are not in a position yet to
say which one is the best. In most
localities in the state Grimm has win
ter-killed the least and has seemed
best suited to meet the conditions of
this climate.
A. Innoculate the seed or the soil.
Pure cultures of innoculation will be
secured for you by the county agent,
or may be ordered from any reliable
firm. To innoculate the soil where
the alfalfa seed is to be sown, select
some dark cloudy day and spread
over the area to be sown some earth
grown innoculated alfalfa or sweet
clover. Do not draw on earth from
an ordinary clover field for this will
not innoculate the roots of the little
alfalfa plant.
5. Sow the alfalfa seed the last of
June or first of July allowing the plot

production, but more can be said
about efficiency in production. Do
not plant ten acres If there is not the
labor to care for them and if at the
end of the season they will produce
no more than five of these acres
which might have been well cared for.
Look carefully to the seed planted
this year-teSt your seed corn Tor
termination, test your oats, test your
barley. We cannot afford in this sea-
son to be cultivating ground that Is
not growing a maximum crop
ground that may have been well
seeded but where many seeds failed
to grow because of low vitality. Such
methods will not pay in ordinary
years and it is doubly important at
this time to look carefully to what we
are doing.
Treat oats for smut and potatoes
for scab. A little precaution costing
a few cents per bushel in materials
and a few minutes of time in labor
may mean many dollars In increased
value of crops at the harvest season.
Last year a number of bushels of
oats were treated for smut before
sowing on the fields. A small strip
was left in these fields and sowed
with untreated oats. Where smut
occurred in these strips the yield OF
oats was decreased four or five bush
els per acre below what was produced
where the treated seed was sown. At
80 cents bushel this means 81 or So
an acre or $40 to $50 for ten-acre
fiat. The formalin necessary to treat
the seed required for ten acres will
cost about one dollar This is pref
ty fair interest on the money and
time invested.
| Later in the season when the crops
are up, it will be necessary to spray
potatoes to kill the bugs and keep
off the blight, spray oats to kill the
kale. Have you sprayer for this
work? Is there one in the communi-
ty which can be borrowed? It's time
to think of this, for spraying time is
not far off, and spraying is one of the
important parts of our efficiency pro-
gram.

Alfalfa.

As soon as possible plans for this
years demonstrations will be under
way. Alreadythere are over thirty
alfalfa demonstrations running in the
county and many more of the farm
ers are planning to put in alfalfa this
summer. The plan at present is to
keep the alfalfa demonstrations go
ing with perhaps a few more started
this year in communities where there
are none. Thus we hope to have at
least two or three plots of alfalfa
growing IN each township in the
county. This will enable every indi-
vidual farmer in each community to
study this crop, learn what kind of
seed is best, what cultural methods
are used with greatest success, and
how 1T is harvested. Tt is a crop
worth studying for it has great pos
sibilities for Orleans county once it
becomes established and men under
stand how to handle it.
Are you planning 20 put in a small
patch this year? If you are, remem-
Der that certain methods must be fol-
lowed to give the best results. In Or
leans county wherever alfalfa has
been grown the following practices
have been most successful thus far:
I. Have your soil tested for acidi-
ty- Practically all samples of soil
analysed for this county have shown
a need Of lime from 1000 to 5000
p0Nnds. Alfalfa cannot long endure
on acid soil.
2. Select fairly well drained soil.

to be planted to lie fallow all the
spring. Keep the weeds from grow
ing by going over with a disk harrow
every ten days or two weeks and
have the soil in good shape when the
seed is sown. Sow from twenty to
thirty mounds to the acre.

The Agricultural Association.

In view of what has been said,
isn't it rather sup to" the farmers of
this county to make use of their own
agricultural association to help them
at this time? Can the association
help you to find seed, or labor? Do
you know how to treat your seed
Are there any questions puzzling you
just now? The county agent is your
hired man with this county as his
farm. Why not make use of him
He doesn't "know it all" but he may
know where to get just the informa-
ton you want. Try to make him the
busiest man on the face of this green
earth for the coming year and show
the rest of the state that the farmers
of Orleans county are more alive than

Use of Machinery.

Use of Machinery.
With labor so scarce it is up to the
farmers to make use of the resources
on hand. Up-to-date machinery is
one of the big resources. Why not
make community use of all machinery
this year. Farmer Jones has po-
tato planter-why not make use of
this planter all around the community
for the potatoes that are to be plant
ed. Let us as farmers take account
of stock-how many grain drills,
tractors, two-row cultivators, corn
planters, potato planters and lime
sewers there are in the community
Can we not work out a program
whereby these machines will be kept
busy continuously this spring on the
different farms? Let us figure with
our heads, and save large amount
of work of our heels and raise larg-
er acreage in the bargain. If another
piece of machinery is needed two or
three may buy it to advantage where
it would mean too much money in
vested for one. On one farm in this
county two men and boy are put
| ting In at least seventy acres of crops
! this season by the use of tractor
and a large amount of machinery.
tractors cannot be, used IN all parts
of the county but large machinery
can and must be used to secure the
greatest efficiency. In the West
squads of men are organized to keep
the large tractors running day and
night blowing at night being done
! by the light of a huge searchlight
why should not we, as farmers of
Orleans county, study our conditions
! as never before and make the most
of the resources at hand in the line of

U-Boats Losing Heavily

Announcement has been made
several times that American gunnerS
on merchant ships had reason to be-
lieve they had been successful in at
tempts at sinking submarines. \
ship reaching England on Sunday.
for example, was attacked by two
U-boats that were driven off by the
machinegun crews. Confidence was
expressed that the periscope of one
attacker was shot away. Other evil
dence has accumulated to indicate
that the Allies are making progress
against the underSea foe.
But there generally is room for
doubt as to the efficiency of those
announced successes against the L.
boat. The attacks very often are at
long range. The enemy disappears
and no one can be sure whether the
submergence was voluntary or
forced. The. work of destruction
against merchant ships has kept
right on, although in diminished pro-
portions recently, and left a sus-
picion in the minds of many that
the allied gunners might not be as
successful as they have believed.
Now comes indisputable proof
from headquarters in Germany that
the warfare on the submarines is eff
fective. The losses have reached such
proportions that it is no longer per-
mitted to mention them. No lists OF
U-boat casualties have been an
nounced by the admiralty in recent
weeks, although until a month or
more ago those missing were listed.
II was not, of course, always known
in Germany whether the missing had
perished or been captured.-lndian-
