j. VALUE OF CRIMSON CLOVER AS
A CLOVER CROP, :, :. ~ -. .-.--
Crimson clover Ia. no doubt the
best winter leguminous crop to
plant in the orchard, as well as on
the farm. The acreage in Grim:

its great value as a soil builder
Is fast becoming appreciated. =
II. TIME TO PLANT:
Crimson clover may be planted
from August 18th to November
18th, but best results will be- OBJ.
tanned from seed sown between
September 18th and October 18th.
III. AMOUNT OF SEED TO SOW
PER ACRE >, -
Twelve pounds Of cleaned seed,
or twenty-four pounds of seed IN
the bur, per acre will give good
seeding. When sown as late as
October 18th, I would advise SOW
ing fifteen pounds OF cleaned seed;
or thirty pounds OF seed in the
bur.
w. COST OF SEED PER ACRE:
The price of crimson; clover
seed was very high during the.
past season. due to the increased
demand for reed, and to the cut.
ting of of practically ALI importa-
ton Of clover seed from Europe.
Even at the high price Of $500
per busheI, the cost Of seed for
one acre Of crimson Glover Is only
$3.50. - :

COMPANY L MoBILizEs
Recruits Coming in So Well That Drafting May Not Be Necessary No Further Orders Received.

At o'clock Monday morning ail the members of Company l. living in this city or the surrounding towns an- swered the roll call in the state arm ory on Pleasant street. At 6.30 o. clock the fire alarm bell rang. calling out the members of the company, many of whom knew about the order before retiring Sunday night. Many of the townspeople being uninformed as to the cause of the bell at such an hour kept the wires busy in an en- deavor to learn the reason for it. Many went to the armory to witness the as- sen1bling of the company.
 It was nine months ago Sunday that the company left the city by special train for Mantle where they remained until sent to the border. The prompt response of the men and the enthu- siasm shown by them is proof of their loyalty which has been shown many times in the past by the sons of Wind ham. The officers of the company were received Sunday and what they are to do and where they are to go is still kept secret by officials higher up-
 Both Captain Tiesing and Lieuten- ant w. P. s. Heating. a member of the medical corps, were kept busy all day Monday preparing and swearing in the new recruits who seemed to come in pretty fast for the first day. A number of those who tried to enlist in the company were turned down for various reasons but the majority of those that applied were accepted. In the opinion of Captain Tiesing. a draft will not be necessary if the recruits come in at the present rate.
 It was rumored that the Polish Fall cons of this city endeavored to enlist as a body but this was refused them. They wished to join this way rather than separately.
 ProprietorS of the restaurants were consulted in regard to feeding the men while they are at the arInory and the contract was undertaken by one man
