The Government Ownership Farce

II is now expected that railroads
win be- returned to private manage
ment by te first Of October. and so
there are no extensions planned this
year by the big systems. Railroad de
velopment has practically been at q
standstlll for two years. and the only
big direct effect Of government opera
tion has been artificial stimulation OF
payrolls. The railroad properties face
the two prongs Of delemma-to re-

Time Of Cutting

Most farmers are prone TO cut their
alfalfa too early. They are anxious to
get more cuttings thereby thinking
to get bigger crop. The fact is, the
extra cutting is frequently made at the
expense of total tonnage The real
test of the size of the seasons crop
Is total tonnage ra ther than number
of cuttings Where four cuttings are
possible, three usually are more desir
able and more profitable More hay
is actually made for the season; aud
the plants are left in better condition
for the winter.
The first growth is usually rank,
sometimes causing the farmers To think
il should be cut before il really Is
ready. The stage of growth is the in.
dication for cutting rather than the
size Of the plants. The general rule
is To cut alfalfa just as ii is coming
into bloom aud the basal shoots are
making Il good start for the next crop
In the eastern States, cutting earlier
may injure and frequently Kills the
plants Cutting later lowers the feed
ing value Of the hay.

Harvesting Methods

Methods of making alfalfa hay vary
In different sections of the country (;
but the basic principles are the same
The motto everywhere is: Cure alfal-
IA hay quickly. with as little handling
and exposure To the weather as pos
Sible.' Rapid curing holds the leaves
fewer of them off This is important,
because the leaves are the most nutri-
tiOuS part Of the plant.
In the West, where there is little
rain during tue haying season, the
mowers are started in the morning
and the hay raked into windrOws the
following day. The hay is then cooked
or is stacked or baled direct from the
windrow aS soon aS the hay is Suffi-
ciently cured. The raking commences
as soon as the leaves are wilted, but
when the stems are Stll green. II is
cooked when the stems are half dry"
II may be- stacked when moisture can
no longer be twisted out of wiSp of
the hay.
In the humid sections of the country
the process Of curing the hay is much
more difficult. The cutting frequently
must be- delayed several days on ac-
count of bad weather. The operations
and methods are practically the same
as in the dry sections, except that
more time is required. Hay caps and
stack covers may prove necessary.
High moisture content sometimes
makes il desirable to stack alfalfa hay
instead Of putting il ia the barn. This
Is especially true of the first cutting
Build stacks carefully and in shape
that will expose as little Of the hay
TO the weather aS possible. Cover the
tops with marsh grass. Sudan grass.
millet, or some other long grass that
will make a good thatch. Anchor a
well-made thatch with rocks on the
ends of wire on top of "a properly made
stack and the hny will keep almost
aS well as in the harm. In fact, IL may
keep better on account of the likeli-
hood Of new Italia hay heating in the

at the first cutting on this account.

"Old Fashioned Potato Bug" Has Cons


II has just been reported that the
"old-fashioned potato hug or Blister
Beetle has put in his appearance in
the Northwestern part of the county
aud in just little while this pest
cleaned up II nice little garden for Al
bert I.indauer Men who were visiting
Mr.. Iindauer last Sunday helped to
drive the hug out of the garden but
they were too late aS the most of the
damage had been done before the pest
was discovered. They also reported
that the air was full of them ana their
appnrant direction was down the river.
While they are known as the odd
fashioned potato bug" the name bIis-
ter-beetlc has been bestowed on then
because Of the bliStcring effeit which
they have on the skin.
This bug presents the farmer very
peculiar problem, for while the beetles
are often exceedingly injurious. the
larvae are even more beneficial, in
eating large quantities of grasshopper
eggs
THE life of these insects is very
unique. The female lays n large num-
ber of eggs in small cavity In the
earth. and from these hatch some
small. long-legged larvae. which run
about searching for the pod-like masses
Of grasshopper eggs, upon which they
feed. As soon as the appetite of one Of
these little egg-hunters is appeased, he
sheds his skin. and now being sur
rounded by food and no longer needing
his long legs for running in the next
stage of his existence his legs become
very short and rudimentary. oad he re-
mains almost imm0bile while feeding
on the rest of the eggs"

Unions Aim to Stop

tee Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the
railroad brotherhoods and author of
organized labor's plan for tripartite
control of the railroads, responded
to sharp questioning from the semi
circle of committee members who
called on him to explain every phase
of the labor bill.
Through it all, Mr.. Plumb chung
steadfastly to the assertion that the
railroad unions aimed ito eliminate
the motive of operation for profit,
and substitute the motive of opera
ton for service" to which he added
the corollary that it means democ-
racy in industry, without which de-
mocracy in politics is a mere shell
and sham"
Gravely Plumb talked of revolu-
ton as an alternative in case the
adoption of some such plan" was
not obtained by political action
through congress and said that was
the determination of the masses OF
men whom he represented though |
