SEED ALFALFA AFTER OATS
Reports from Farmers Show as Sue
cessfui Stands are Produced as
n , by Spring Seeding

Successful stands of alfalfa may be
secured when it is seeded in the late
summer or very early fall after the
removal of the Oat crop, according to
reports ON alfalfa seeding made by
more than 1000 farmers to the farm
crops section at Iowa State college
Ames.
Reports show that the 164 farmers
who seeded at this time received an
average yield Of 3.S tons of hay per
acre the following seasons compared
with 3.6 tons received by the 204 farm
ers who seeded in the spring with a
nurse crop. Only 20.1 per cent fail
ures came when seedlings were made
in the fall compared to 23.9 per cent
for spring with nurse crop. .......
After the Oat crop is removed give
the stubble a thorough discing. This
will kill many weeds and places a
mulch on the land that will conserve
moisture. Then disc the land often
enough to keep down weeds and main
tain a good surface mulch. The land
may be plowed after the lirst discing
but If that is done the alfalfa should
not be seeded until firm seed bed is
secured. The alfalfa may best be
seeded about the second or third week
to insure good termination. Do not
seed later than the first week in Sep
tember because OF danger from win
ter killing. If the soil needs lime ap'
ply it before seeding. Best results
may be expected when the land is in
Oculated. II sweet clover or alfalfa
have never been grown on the land
it is particularly advisable to inocu'
late. ...

MAY ISSUE ORDERS IN AUGUST
Some Divisions of AssimiIated Nation

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 17.-Mo-
bilization of the national guard be-
gan today. While no orders for en-
barkation of state troops for France
| will be given until after August S,
| when the entire force will be form
ally drafted into the United States
army, there are indications that some
divisions will be regarded as ready
to board transports soon after that
date.

day. Under it all guard units from

Actual concentration of troops in

gan today. Approximately one-half
Of the total strength Of the national
guard or more than 1000 men is in
cluded in the force assembling.
Rapid progress is being made in re-
lieving regiments which have been
in the federal service since the dec
laration of war guarding property.
This work will be taken over largely
by civilian watchmen
1t will be necessary to retain
guardsmen for the protection of GER
tain big munitions works and other
property vital to the conduct of the
war. The department commanders
will hold such troops as they deem
advisable for this purpose.
Transportation Problem
The next step in the general mobi-
lization will be the ordering of diyi-
sions to the camp sites already se-
lected for them. A full supply of tent

show, and the divisions will entrain
as rapidly as the commanders of the

The most serious shortage of war
| equipment for the guard is in the ar
tillery. For training purposes the big
gun regiments undoubtedly will con-
tinue to use the equipment they have
supplemented by such additional ord
| nance as the regular service can
spare. 1t is regarded as practically
certain, however that if the guard di-
visions are sent to France at an early
date they will be equipped with the
French artillery on their arrival at
that place. Presumably their first
war work will be with the famous

be governed by the shipping problem.
War department officials regard many
divisions of the state troops as vir-
tually ready now for the intensive
training behind the fighting line in
France which will prepare them for
their place in the trenches. There is
no reason why some elements could
not go forward at once except lack
OF transportation and the submarine
menace.

Let us never speak, then, of

same sentence, but face facts and
meet them. Let us do sound bust
ness. but not in. the midst Of a
mist. Many a grieyous burden Of
taxation will be laid on this ma
ton, in this generation and the
next, to pay for this war; let us
see to it that for every dollar that
is taken from the peoples pockets
it shall be possible to obtain dol
lars worth of the sound stuffs
they need.
Let me turn forssa moment to
the shipowners Sjf the United
4.States and. the psa eeaaa sasr-
, riers whose example they have
followed. and ask them If they
realize what obstacles, they have
been putting in the way of the
successful prosecution of this war
{ by the ocean freight rates they
have been exacting.
Motives Not Questioned
They are doing everything that
high freight charges can do to
make the war failure, to make it
impossible. do not say that they
realize this or intend it. The thing
has happened naturally enough,
because the commercial processes
which we are content to see op-
crate in ordinary times have
without sufficient thought been
continued into period where they
have no proper place. I am not
questioning motives. am merely
stating a fact and stating it in
order that attention may be fixed
upon it.
The fact is that those who have
fixed war freight rates have taken
the most effective means in their
power to defeat the armies en-

they realize this we may, / take it
for granted, count upon them to
reconsider the whole matter. 1t
is high time. Their extra haZ-
ards are covered by war risk in
surance.
For Clear Understanding
I know, and you know. what re-
sponse to this great challenge of
duty and of opportunity the ma
tion will expect of you; and l
know what response you will
make. Those who do not respond,
who do not respond in the spirit
of those who have gone to give
their lives for us on bloody fields
far away, may safely be left to be
dealt with by opinion and the law
for the law must of course COM
mand those things.
/ am dealing with the matter
thus publicly and frankly, not
because have any doubt or fear
as to the result, but only in order
that in all our thinking and in
all our dealings with one another
we may move in perfectly clear
air of mutual understanding.
All People MopiIized
And there is something more
that we must add to our think
ing. The public is now as much
part of the government as are the
army and navy themselves; the
whole people in all their activ-
tiles are now modified and in
service for the accomplishment of
the nations task in this war; it
is in such circumstances impossi-
BILE justly to distinguish between
industrial purchases made by the
government and industrial pur-
chases made by the managers Of
industries, and it is just as much
our duty to sustain the indus
tries of the country with all the
materials that minister to its life,
as it is to sustain our forces in the
field and on the sea. We must
make prices to the public the
same as the prices to the govern
ment.
Means Victory or Defeat
Prices mean the same thing
everywhere now. They mean the
efficiency or the inefficiency of
the nation, whether it is the gov
ernment that pays them or not.
They mean victory or defeat.
They mean that America will win
her place once for. all among the
foremost free nations OF the world,
