Ten pounds of seed per acre is more
than necessary, but we seed this
amount. Proper incubation is essen
tial and pure cultures or soil from
an old alfalfa or sweet clover field
should be used, if alfalfa or sweet
clover has not been grown on the land
previously. Mixed alfalfa and sweet
clover, five pounds each per acre,
promises to be successful method
of starting alfalfa. We will use this
method with splendid success.
Making Alfalfa Hay
Making alfalfa hay is more difficult
than any other kind of hay. 1t should
be cut when the new growth starts at
the bottom, or about one-tenth in
bloom. Rake into wind-rows as soon
as wilted and put in narrow cocks to
with sweep-rakes.
for dairy cows and young stock, and
is available. Alfalfa hay, because Of
its value, should be fed carefully, and
in combination with other feeds, such
as silage, corn fodder, straw or pra-
irie hay.
lows, Sneep, hogs, mems
Profitable farming in this region
from now on will depend upon in
creasing, or at least maintaining the
producing power of the soil, and there
is no means of doing this except by
rotating crops, feeding livestock and
putting manure back on the land. Lat
er we may need to supply some min
eral elements of plant food.
Milking cows, growing hogs, or
sheep, and keeping a good flock Of
poultry, is the most certain means of
adding to, or increasing the income
from the farm. The first purpose Of
the farm should be to afford good
living for the farmer and his family,
and this is most economically done by
producing on the farm, so far as pos
sible, everything needed. When this
is done there is more money to spend
for permanent improvements, COM
forts and pleasure.
Z Now is the Farmers Opportunity
Farm products never were in de-
mand at such prices as they are at
the present time, and there is every
indication that they will remain high.
A generation ago two-thirds Of the
people Of our country lived on farms,
and one-third in towns and cities. Now
the radio is reversed and only one
third live on farms, which means that
every farmer must produce four times
as much as his grandfather did. This
is the fundamental reason for high
prices for farm products, and it is the
duty and opportunity Of every farmer
to do his best.

BIRDHOUSE CONTESTS.
American Forestry Association
Strives to Interest SthoolboYs.

The American Forestry Association
is endeavoring to interest schoolboys
throughout the country in birdhouse
contests the association is conducting.
Winners will obtain blue ribbons from
the association.
A competition of this nature was
held in Trenton, n. J.. it is pointed out
by the American Forestry Magazine
of Washington, and about 1900 bird
houses were completed. Hundreds of
boys entered the contest and made the
houses from scrap lumber. or any ma
terial which could be used. Plans for
the houses were submitted by the for
estry magazine and the boys flocked
to the public library of Trenton in
search of information regarding birds
and birdhouses. The boys exhibited
their workmanship in a parade and
the houses were later distributed
among the parks. institutions and
about private homes. More than
twenty prizes were awarded.
"The birdhouse contest" says the
magazine, "was valuable experience.
for the hundreds of boys who took
part in it learned something of birds
and became admirers of them"

Senator Lenroot confined his ad-
dress to the original draft of the
covenant, explaining that he wished
to "show how we'll grounded was the
action of the thirty-seven senators
who signed the round robin against
the original covenant and adding
that second reason was the fact
that 1--WE don't know what the new
form will be-"
Answering Senator Hitchcock's as
sertion that it was necessary to ac-
cept the covenant unamended or to
reject it altogether, Senator Lenroot
asserted it was peculiar that neu-
trails can be asked to suggest amend
ments but that neither the Senate nor
the people of the United States have
been asked to suggest changes"
Il am in favor of the general plan
of this league" Senator Lenroot said,
but We must remember that no
league of nations can insure against
war. So long as SelfishneSs is part of
human nature there will be war We
must reckon on the probability that
in the future there will be nations
bent on conquest and that when the
times comes that any combination
feels strong enough to conquer
another war is probable"

HITCHCOCK AND LENROOT
DEBATE LEAGUE IN NEW YORK
Nebraskan for Draft as It Will Be Pre-

First" Idea Before Economic Club.

NEW YORK, April S.-Acceptance Of
the league of nations covenant as a
great compromise of nations willing to
unite to end war" and its rejection un-
less it meets the requirements of that
somewhat old fashioned idea of America
FIRST were the pleas of the two United
States senators who participated in a
joint discussion of the league before the
Economic Club here last night.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chair
I:an of the Senate foreign relations
committee. was the advocate of the
covenant in virtually it's present form.
Senator I.enroot of Wisconsin advocated
the America first" idea.
Opening the discussion. Senator Hitch
cock declared that persons who object
to the present league plan should be
placed in the same class with those who
believe in no league.
It's this league or return OF war,
he declared. This league or no league
al all"
The covenant in it's present form, he
asserted, was a great compromise by
the fourteen allied nations" arrived at
after long discussion by all the parties.
and a compromise in which each nation
yielded points which it preferred to in
clUde.
mot Just What We Want
1T is not just what we want he said;
at is not what England wanted or
France or Japan. 1t is compromise.
IL the nations ratify it, it will become
fact. II it is rejected that ends for the
present and probably indefinitely any
chance for securing the reform. 1t
means that despair would spread over
Europe. The nations would go to work
preparing for war. And it means some
thing else-it means the growth Of So
cialism, bolshevism and anarchy
Senator Hitchcock deplored attempts
TO make political issue" of the league
proposals, and declared those who at
tempted to make political capital of it
would find themselves in the position of
a man who. after purchasing a horse,
was told by the seller that lit isn't
worth damn"
Faith in Revised Covenant.

tackled points of the original covenant,
Senator Hitchcock declared that in most
a.;es the opposition was well founded,
and predicted that the new covenant,
Soon to be published, would, while re-
tanning virtually it's old form, have all

would contain some altered provisions

would be possible for it to be included.
