CLOVER FAlLs-POoR SEEDING

Over half of the clover seed used
in Iowa last year valued at over one
half million dollars, failed to give a
stand. In some parts of the state,
nine fields were lost out of every ten
seeded. 1t has become increasingly
difficult to get stands of clover dur
! ing the past few years, and many
! farmers are so discouraged that they
hesitate to try more seedlings. Over
a thousand reports secured by the
farm crops section Of the agricultural
experiment station at Ames, covering
three year period, SHOW that more
than 60 per cent Of the seedlings made
in this state during the period cover
ed failed to produce crop.
Different methods of seeding the
clover. have been under comparison
on the farm crops experimental field
at Ames during the past four years.
Splendid stands of clover have been
secured when seeded with early ma
turing, sparse foliaged varieties OF
oats. such as Iowa 105, Iowa 1913, Kher
son and Early Champion, while seed
ings made under identically the same
conditions, but with larger, later ma
turing varieties, failed entirely.
Varieties of barley which give the
largest yields in this state make bet
ter nurse crops than the late varieties
of oats, while spring wheat is the
poorest nurse crop of all The char
acter of the nurse crop has more to
do with clover failures than any other
one thing. '.'
Seeding not over two bushels of
oats per acre favors the clover con-
siderably, while the Yield of grain is
not materially reduced. When condi-
tons have been very unfavorable, per-
feet stands Of clover were secured by
cutting the grain for hay whel in the
milk stage. while seedlings made on
adjoining plots and where the nurse
crop was allowed to mature for grain
failed entirely.

BEE CORRESPONDENCE BEGUN

Conservation in the highest sense,
namely, the, raising Of bees, can be
studied without attending the short
course at Ames this year by enrolling
in the correspondence course in bee
keeping which will be conducted by
F. Eric Millen, state apiarist, whose
Office is at Ames. So. 80
The course includes eleven lessons,
which are mailed at intervals. The
lessons are studied and questions an
swered. When one set is returned,
another is sent out. This lasts until
the eleven lessons have been covered.
Two. reference books are also given
with the course. At the end of the
course, If the correspondent has an
swered the questions at the end of
each lesson with grade of at least
rs per cent, he is given a certificate.
The course has fee of three dollars
to residents of the state. People from
outside the state will be charged four
dollars.

REDUCING FOOD COSTS

The farmers are to blame for not
making more effort to perfect them
selves thoroughly in scientific agricul-
ture. But the principal responsibility
is on the community as a whole. The
movement to popularize the knowl-
edge of scientific agriculture has not
had adequate support Many more
agricultural schools are needed. The
county farm bureau system should
be extended. The farmer should have
expert advice at every stage Of his
processes.
There will of course be danger in
some cases lest politics figure in the
farm bureau organization. The ap-
pointment of agricultural experts must
always be on the basis Of scientific
and practical competence, or the
whole thing will be failure.
An adequate supply Of we'll trained
labor is vital. During the past year
the U. S. employment service has done
much. There should be an employ
|ment organization in every county, to
see that the farmer gets the help he
needs.
Foreign labor has been a principal
reliance recently. Its efficiency could
be greatly increased by a thorough
Americanization campaign. The farm
hand who gets a rake when you tell
him to bring a monkey wrench is a
poor dependence. There should be
determined effort to teach every non
English speaking worker enough OF
the language so he can take orders
and talk about his work with his boss.
A sufficient equipment of labor saw
ing machines, thorough training in
scientific agriculture and an adequate
supply of we'll trained labor, are the
most important of number Of fac
tors that could greatly increase food
products without corresponding ex-
.pense. Under such conditions the
costs of food will automatically de-
cline.

SlLAGE FOR HORSES

Silage may be fed to horses in lin
tied quantity if care is exercised, says
the animal husbandry department of
Iowa State college at Ames, but a
horse cannot consume the large guam
titles of roughness used by the steer
or cow, and the amount of silage
given to horses on full feed must be
very limited. Silage is especially use
full in wintering mature horses or
mules which are not doing more than
ordinary work and are not expected to
become fat enough for the market.
However, there is danger of feeding
too much.

cRuM TO EXPLAIN GRAVEL USE

For four years the engineering ex-

has been conducting experiments for
the purpose Of establishing proper
methods for the use of the common
pit run gravels found in this state.

basis for the practice Of the state

published in detail. Although much
material is not ideal for use in con-

be made by it's use. These expert

Which Do You Prefer

Do you prefer a government which
has unlimited power over you, or a
government definitely restrained by
the principles of justice. and confined
to its delegated powers? Which kind
of government is the more likely to
exploit the Individual? Russian con-
ditions may make necessary the crea-
ton of a government of unlimited
power, but the evils which Americans
endure are not so deep-seated or SO
serious as to demand so drastic a
remedy. With over century and
quarter of free government behind us
we are abundantly able to curb or
ganized selfshness without the crea-
ton of a governmental despotism.
II. The Russian constitution de-
clares. in chapter 2: "An private
property in land is abolished. and
the entire land Is declared to be
national property" 1t is taken
without any compensation to the
former owners" and lis to be ap-
portioned among husbandmen." The
American Constitution declares that
no person shall 'fbe deprived of life,
liberty or property without due
process Of law" which means that
the United States government itself
cannot take your private possessions
unless it can show a law made by
your representatives which express
ly gives it power to do so. Under

III. According to the ideals of the

NAV at any moment go to the home
of any citizen, drive away his cattle,
take his store of food, give his home
TO another. and do with him as it
pleases, for remember, "All central
and local power belongs to these

the American Constitution, a citizen
so treated has but to appeal to the
courts, which will ask the invading
power, be it police or President. to
show the law which authorized the
act If the law cannot be shown, or
If when shown it disregards the re-
served rights of the Individual, the
whole power Of the nation belongs to
the injured person, to be used for re-
storing his property And this power
is as much at the service of the la
borer as of the owner of the mill in
which he labors. And in order to

sation.'
