A firm, compact seed bed, well pul.
verified, is important with ali crops.
Sweet clover is more drought-rasi. II
ant than alfalfa or red clover. it is
quite resistant to alkali.
The best practice for the conserya-
ton of manure is to haul it out as
soon as produced.
The tractor is the fighting tank of
the farmer in his battle against labor
shortage.
When soils become "clover sick" If
is an indication that they need lime.
Such soils are usually sour.
Poor soil may be made capable of
growing alfalfa by using manure or
blowing under sweet clover, and acid
ity may be corrected by using crushed
limestone.
The modern grain grader, separator
and tanning mill is a valuable ma
chine for use on the farm. 1t grades
any variety of seed, throwing out all
dirt, weed seed and trash.

Drainage is a factor in crop pro-

RADICALS LEAD In BERLIN
Them Bigger Vote Than Majority
Socialists.

Berlin, Feb. 26.-The municipal cleo
lions in Greater Berlin showed re-
markable increase in the vote of the
Independent socialists. They led the
poll with several thousand votes more
than the regular socialists, who made
a far poorer showing than in the ma
tional and Prussian elections.
The shift of the socialist vote from
the majority socialists to the independ-
ents is attributed largely to the killing
of DIR. Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Luxerl-
bourg and Kurt Eisner, which seems
to have driven many of the regular
socialists into the radical ranks.
