WILL MOBILIZE
FARM WORKERS
STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION is
PLANNED TO EQUALIZE DIS
TRIBUTION OF HELP.
Prof. r. l.. Curry of Montana Expert
ment Station Designated by FEEDER
al Government to Have Charge of
Work; to Make Canvass of Every
Farm Community.

To the office of farm management
Of the United States department of
agriculture has been assigned the
work of organizing and mobilizing
the labor forces of the country. Pro-
fessor e. L. Currier of the Montana
experiment station has been desig-
mated to represent the department in
matters related to the WORKING out
of plans in this state and this desig-
nation has been approved by Chan
cellor Elliott as representing the state
council of defense.
According to the plan which will
be put in operation at an early date,
a man will be named in each county.
in most cases the county agricultural
agent will act, who will keep in
county. He, in turn, will designate a
man in each county who will have
charge of the labor situation so far as
the local community is concerned.
To Make Community Canvasses.
In general, the working out of the
plan will be as follows. The commu-
nifty representative will make a thor
ough canvas of each farm in his COM
munity, he will then strike balance
between surplusses and deficits of
farm help and will report the net sur
plus or deficit to the county agent
having this work in charge. The
county agent will, in like manner,
make such adjustments as he can be-
tween communities and report the net
surplus or deficit to the state organ
ization. The state organization will
make adjustments between counties
and report to the national agency.
The national agency will look after
matters pertaining to labor relations
between states, and will also cooper
ate with immigration authorities in
case it is deemed wise to import la
borers from other countries.
Appeal to the Patriotic.
simultaneously with the working
out of the above plan, a strong patri
otto appeal will be made for men to
volunteer for farm service. 1t is
thought that a large number Of men
will be enrolled in this way who will
be available in an emergency. This
army of men will be assigned through
the machinery outlined above from
state to county, and from county to
community.
1t is thought that this plan when
deal to avert a very grave labor sit
uation that might otherwise arise la
ter in the season.

Sweet Glover Is a Useful Crop
ON Many Farms Where Alfalfa
Does Not Yield Good Returns

summer. The second year, growth is
rapid and furnishes early pasture.
Grown for hay, sweet clover may
be expected to yield from two to four
tons per acre under irrigation, and
on dry land from one to two tons.
The hay is of good quality. compar-
ing favorably with alfalfa in feeding
value. Under irrigation two cuttings
are generally made and on dry land
only one cutting is expected. Sweet
clover should be cut sufficiently high
to leave a few branches and leaves
on the plant. The hay should always
be cut before blooming as the plants
become coarse and woody after bios
soming. The crop should be cured
and handled the same as other hay.
Seed in Spring.
Seeding should be done in the
spring just as soon as firm seed bed
can be prepared. 1t may be planted
with a drill or sown broadcast. The
proper depth varies with the soil
from one-half to three-fourths inch
on heavy, moist soil and about one
inch on light soil. The seeds must be
in moisture to terminate. When seed
is broadcasted, cover by light har-
rowing.
Where sweet clover is to be sown
on range land or rough hillsides it is
advised that the seed be scattered in
late winter or early spring before the
ground thaws out. This insures some
covering of the seed by the time
growth conditions have become es-
tablished. Where possible the seed
land should be disked or narrowed
as soon as the surface is dry enough.
Sow ten pounds to the acre in dry
land and u to IA pounds under ir-
rigation.
Sweet clover is valuable crop on
heavy clay soils or on exposed clay
surfaces where all the humus has
been washed away. After the sweet
clover has grown for a couple of
years the better physical conditions
of the soil due to the penetration and
rotting of the roots makes conditions
favorable for the growth Of other
crops.

Sweet clover, not long since des-
pissed as a weed, is now coming to it's
own and is recognized as a plant val
liable for pasture and hay and as an
improver of soils.
Under Montana conditions sweet
clover should not be considered as
rival of alfalfa for it is generally con-
coded that where alfalfa can be
grown successfully that it will out
yield sweet clover. Alfalfa also has
the big advantage of being a peren-
NAL, lasting for a long period of
years, while sweet clover is biennial
and when pastured off or cut for
hay, kills out the second year. On the
dry land farm, where alfalfa is a diff
ficult crop to grow, sweet clover is
promising hay and pasture crop.
Sweet clover makes a good pasture
for all kinds of livestock. 1t rarely
causes bloat and for this reason is
preferred by many to alfalfa. 1t pro-
duces early and late grazing, survives
the late summer droughts fairly we'll
and will give fair returns on the
poorest soils. 1t grows luxuriantly
around waste places and often makes
possible profitable returns from
small tracts that would otherwise be
practically worthless. Rough hill
sides and coulees, generally consider
ed waste areas, can be seeded to
sweet clover and converted into val
liable hog and sheep pastures.
How to Craze.
AS rule livestock have to acquire
a taste for sweet clover. The best
way to do this is to turn the stock
on to it early before other forms of
green feed are available. For best
results the sweet clover should be
pastured heavily enough to keep
down the growth so that at all times
there will be an abundance of fresh
shoots.
Newly seeded sweet clover Will
furnish pasture when it has made a
growth of about IL inches; if planted
in early spring it will have reached
this height by midsummer. 1t may
then be grazed the remainder of the

COUNTY FAIR BILL FOR YUMA.

Representative Eddy and Edwards, Yuma county's two members of the lower house at Phoenix, have intro duced House Bill No. "A, providing for an appropriation of $5OO0 for each of the years 1917 and 1918, for county fair purposes. It is bill that will do Yuma county more real good than any bill now pending before the state leg islature, and it is to be earnestly hop ed that Yuma county will get her just dues in this respect. The bill is as follows:
 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
 Section l. The sum of Five Thou sand Dollars for each of the years 1917 and 1918, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated and for the purpose of conducting and maintaining the Yuma County Fair to be held at Yuma, Arizona.
 Sec. 2. One member of the board of supervisors of Yuma County, Ariz- ona, shall be one of five commission CTS who shall be appointed by the board of supervisors of said county for the purpose of conducting and maintaining said Yuma County Fair. All the vouchers for the expenditure of money under the provisions of this act must be signed by the member of the board of supervisors, and one other commissioner and the state auditor upon presentation of such vouchers, shall draw his warrant upon the fund above appropriated and the state treas urer shall pay such warrant out of any money on hand not otherwise ap- propriated
 Sec. 8. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed.

I have never seen the property. But I will say that there are several tes- timonials from men I know would not allow the use of their name if they were not absolutely certain they were telling the truth.
 The property being located in Yu- ma county makes me anxious for its success, and having heard so much favorable comment on it I feel safe in saying the property is we'll worth investigation on the part of any one who wants to make an investment. Our strained relations with Germany, the continuance of the European war, and the fact that Mexico is still at war within itself will naturally keep copper at high level for many months if not years, to come. That there are worlds of copper at the Greater Ajo" mines there is hardly room for doubt. It is only question of raising the necessary money to get it out and get it to the market. It takes money to make money. Those who are in Ion the ground floor" at Greater Ajo" may be Copper Kings of no small magnitude even before they know it, for properties like that are not found every day, nor indeed every lifetime.

 It is with unfeigned pleasure that I present the pen to your organiza- tion, that it may be appropriately framed and kept for all time as a pleasing incident of the great battle won for Yuma, for it will eventually be proven that the enactment of this law was one of the greatest blessings ever conferred on this community.
