ALFALFA SEEDING

Prospects for obtaining a stand of
alfalfa in Western Kansas are espec-
tally good now wherever there has
been plenty of rain. This is a good
time at least to try reseeding some
of the borders where alfalfa has been
killed by grasshoppers.
Alfalfa is being sown this spring
in 65 acres at the Fort Hays Expert
ment Station. Most of this corn land
that has been disked and narrowed,
and the rest consists of odd patches.
Good Kansas alfalfa seed is being put
in as shallow as possible with wheat
drill at ten to twelve pounds per
acre. A few pounds more would be
sown under less favorable conditions.
Bran is mixed with the seed so as to
SOW thin enough. A regular alfalfa
drill or a grain drill with an alfalfa
seed attachment is however, pre-
ferred for seeding alfalfa.
A profit of $2O.33 an acre was OBJ
tanned in 1917 on 800 acres of alfal-
ia at the Fort Hays Experiment Sta
ton according to the report made by
Supt. Chas. r. Weeks at the Fifth
Annual Round Up, April 10th. This
. alfalfa is all on bottom land. Upland
alfalfa is not sufficiently profitable
either broadcast or in rows at Hays
or farther west to warrant extensive
planting.
Bottom land at Hays gives better
profit from alfalfa than from any 9TH
er filed crop that is adpated to large
acreages. Nearly every county in
Western Kansas has some land where
this would be the case.
Spring is considered the best time
to sow alfalfa in Western Kansas be-

Danger in Waste Paper

Schools and others who are collect
ing waste paper to sell for the bene-
fit of the Red Cross and for other
purposes may do more harm than
good by their efforts unless they take
special precautions to prevent fires.
Waste paper is a very dangerous
fire hazard and it should never be
collected or stored in a school build
ing nor in the congested down town
district in any kind of building. If
it is stored at all building should
be secured that is located in some iso-
lated position and special precautions
should be taken to prevent fires.
The collection of waste paper in
school houses is especially danger
Gus. Piles of waste paper are read
lily ignited by the slightest spark by
the presence of heat without flame
or spark. Paper burns an extremely
hot fire, and burns very rapidly.
A waste paper fire in a school
house would be almost certain to
cause a serious panic and might very
easily cost the lives of many of the
children either through injury from
stampede or by actual burning.

The Experiment Station Notes


T. A. Kiene, Jr., returned April
18th, from Newell, South Dakota,
where he has been seeding the spring
grain plots at the government ex-
pertinent station on the Belle Fourche
reclamation project.
The Station employees all took
part with flags or banners in the Lib
Y Day parade at Hays, April 26.
The rainfall for April was 2.4S in
ches. The average amount for April
from 1868 to 1917 was PA inches
Fields have been too wet for the
past two weeks to do much work on
them. This excess of moisture, is.
owever, mostly in the first and sec
ond feet of soil.
Blank listing for sorghum was be-
gun on the forage crop plots May 1.
The sorghums will be planted
about the last of May in these fur
rows with a two-row planter.
Disking of corn land is now being
completed, and listing corn will start
shortly. In past years, disking be-
fore listing has been good practice
because of the weeds that were de-
stroyed.

soil furnishing new cereal fields for
tecting the empire against the dangers

SAME old NOTION
Germany Still Dreams of Great
MitteleurOpa.
Desire To Control All of Central
Europe a War Cause.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Washington, May 17.-Germany.
seeking to gobble up Russia, is also
still clingirg to the old Mitteieuropa
idea.
The thought that she has aban-
doned that scheme of running blot
of Teuton domination across the mid
die of Europe was disproved by ON
cial diplomatic dispatches received
here anent the recent Hohenzollern-
Hapsburg conference at the great
German headquarters.
1t was significant from the fact that
Austria has been going thru a period
of serious war stress.
Now, she and Germany will work
more in unison-that is, German war
lords will force her to do their bid
ding. ruthlessly, according to official
interpreted ton here. The session was
not, however the most harmonious
that brothers in arms have ever held.
On the contrary, injection of the
Saxon and Bavarian kings into the
meeting proved disconcerting and the
official dispatches showed that the
German Austrian murder-and-bus1-
ness-bund had not yet been formally
created because the moment did not
seem opportune."
Economic and Military.
Foundations were laid whereby the
dual empires economies will be regu-
lated. $50 as to realize the plan of
Mitteleuropa" 1t was definitely stat
ed a military convention will be signed
whereby Austria will have a stronger
military obligation than under the old
treaty.
