be brought into use, the savings to the
public in the conservation Of fuel and
the release of labor and talIroad
equipment would run into hundreds ct
millions of dollars annually.
At the present moment the public
has been made to realize, as never
before the importance Of conserving
fuel and labor and the present emer-
gency accentuates the pubic need or
the formulation Of q wise and fair
vater-pover policy by the federal GOV
ernment.
In order to secure the adequate de
velopment of water power, it Is e'-
sential that the subject should be APP
preached with an attitude of mind
which RECOGNIZES the necessity of max
imp such developments attractive 10
capitaI rather than with that ATTITUDE
which assumes that such enterprises
should be surrounded with as many
restrictions as possible.
The conservation of every other
natural resource means restflcuoh III
,ts use for use means consumption,
and permanent destruction. EVERY
nound of coal burned is forever with
drawn from use On the other hahu'
every horsepower of water power not
used is lost, and every horsepower
conserved and used saves not only the
HORSEPOWER but its equivalent III coal
and may. incidentally, improve naVl-

The task of this committee mas

outline the essentials of a fair con-
tract which shall fully protect the M

time shall make water-power projects
sufficiently attractive to secure tne1r

SHAWkEY TO ENLIST


Macon, Ga, M%rCh ga big gap
was lurn in the Yankee pitching staff
yesterday. Bob ShaWkeN hung his
baseball togs in the closet and an
nounced he would leave for Philadel-
phia today 10 enlist to eight for
Uncle Sam. Bob intends casting his
lot with the aviation branch Of the
service.
Early last evening Shawkey re-
ccived word (ror Washington that
his classification had been transferred
to Glass IA and that he had re-
ceived NO. PAT in the drawing, which
practically made it a certainty he
would be called soon. Shawkey is
married, but on account of his being
separated from his wife his classiti-
cation was changed to A. Having a
liking for the aviation branch Of the
service and knowins that If drafted
he might be assigned to another
branch he decided to enlist at once.
Shawkeys loss will be felt keenly
by Huggins. as he had expected Bob
would be one of his mainstays in the
box. The none tc o strong appearing
staff of Yankee hurlers now will have
to be strengthened by the addition of
Some HEAVIER to f1ll ShawkeN's place
The lack Of certainty regarding Eddie
Plank makes It almost imperative
that Hugg1ns secure another veteran

Raise More Alfalfa

Alfalfa is q profitable crop in
Grant county. Every farmer who
has a few acres Of spare land can
practically assure himself of q good
crop of hay or pasture by planting
this crop.
Alfalfa hay ranks close to bran
ia feeding value. Cattle, hogs,
sheep and even poultry do we'll on
it. Two or three crops Of hay can
be harvested every season, giving a
bigger yield than practically any
other hay crop.
For hog pasture it is hard to
beat. The only thing to look out
for is not to pasture it too close.
On good pasture about 1000 lbs. of
hogs can be pastured per acre.
There is but little profit in hogs
unless they can be pastured.
Where Alfalfa is not sown with
a nurse crop it can be sown at any
time during the month of June,
when the moisture conditions are
right. The land should be we'll
prepared and as free from weeds
as possible.
Grimm alfalfa is the hardest
variety altho any South Dakota
grown seed produces good crop.
Seed should be tested before plant
ing as there is always present q
certain amount of hard seed.
This hard seed will grow in time,
but if there is much Of it the stand
will be poor. Scarifed seed is
seed which has been scratched in q
scarifier. This scratching Of the
seed coat permits the hard seed to
absorb moisture so that it will ger
inmate as quickly as the remainder
Of the live seed.
Different stores in the county
have seed for sale but if you can
not find any seed leave your order
at this office and we shall be glad
to find some for you.
We will also make termination
tests for anyone who desires this
done.
