SWEET CLOVER

.
Many inquiries have come to the farm
bureau Office lately regarding the use
of sweet clover as d substitute for red
clover this spring. TO the men who
have definite rotation on their farm,
the question of spring seeding is a
problem, owing to the extreme high
Y prices of the red and mammoth clover
s seed. 12
From information gathered from diff
ferent parts of the county, it has been
learned that sweet clover has been
tried in practically every township. All
men who have tried sweet clover are
not enthusiastic about that legume.
The faults given are % hard to OBJ
tain good stand, (2) very difficult
to handle as hay crop, CO sweet
} clover makes poor pasture if the
stock has access to other grasses with
the sweet clover. These faults may
be overcome to large extent. The
question of seeding sweet clover is
worth considering.
4 Sweet clover is peculiar crop. It
does not fit into the four year rota-
ton where the acreage to be seeded is
large. 1t is profitable crop to the
man who understands it.
In securing a good stand the wealth
or is one of the chief factors. Mois-
ture has more to do with the germina-
ton of sweet clover seed than tenn
perature.
The seed coat Of about 80 per cent
of the sweet clover seed is very hard
and impervious to water Experiments
have been carried on where sweet
clover seed has been soaked in water
flor weeks and when measured under
THE microscope showed no swelling
whatever.
The scarifying machine invented by
Professor Hughes of Ames increases
the termination tests of sweet clover.
The principle of the scarifier is to
blow the seeds against sandpaper with
enough force so that each seed will
be nicked. A small nick or scar on
each seed allows moisture to enter to
cause rapid termination. Sweet Glow
er seed which terminated about SO
per cent before scarifying has germi-
mated better than 81 per cent after
run through the machine. Scarifying
seed and plenty of moisture are the
two important factors for a good
stand
Sweet clover is not to be recon-.
mended as a hay crop the second
season. If it is to be cut for hay it
should be when about twenty inches
high. This means haying about the
time of the first corn cultivation
which causes a crowding of farm work.
Also when sweet clover is but twenty
inches high it contains vast amount
OF moisture and is very hard to cure.

THE FARMERS EXCHANGE

At the beginning of the second year
of farm bureau work, the farmers eX'
change project looms up as one OF the
largest and most important to develop.
On some farms of the county there
are implements and grain Or livestock
that the owner would like to dispose
Of. On others there are farm articles
or products desired to be purchased.
In either case the farmers hesitate,
because they do not know where to
20 to make their purchases or sales.
, The farmers exchange aides to bring
these two classes of men together. The
farmers exchange not only aims to de-
velop market for surplus farm prod
ucts but also to assist the pure bred
breeders in finding buyer for their
stock.
The farm bureau Office will be the
central Office for this exchange. In
the various community centers local
branch will be established. At the To-
cal branch will be supply of Want"
and For Sale" cards as illustrated be-
low. Anyone having something for
sale or wanting to buy something can
fill out one of these cards which are
addressed to the farm bureau office.
From these cards an exchange list is
made up once month. The exchange
list is then sent to all community CEN
tiers where the supply cards are kept.
A condensed list will also be published
in the farm bureau page. If the de-
mand requires the exchange list will
be published and sent to the commun-
ity centerS twice a month,
Until all community branches have
been established, those having live
stock, grain, hay, seeds, implements,
chickens, ETC., for sale and those want
ing to buy any Of the above mentioned
articles are urged to fill out the blanks
below and mail to the farm bureau Of
flee, Denison, Iowa. The farmers ex-
change is for your use, You are not
only helping yourself by making your
wants known, but also your neighbors.
He may want to buy what you have for
sale.% Pure bred livestock listed in the
farmers exchange will also be listed in
the state farmers exchange. The first
exchange list will be printed February

MONTHLY FARM
BUREAU NOTES
Three Purposes for Having Monthly
News: Policy, Activity and Farm
ers Exchange-Watch Papers
AGENT QUIsT TO EDIT SAME
Cooperation Of County Papers Great
Help to Organization and News De-
partment Evidence Of Still Better

Arrangements have been made with
the Denison papers whereby once a
month as much space as is needed will
be devoted to strictly farm bureau &C.
I tivities. The Denison Review and the
Denison Bulletin have in the past CIV
en- all publicity needed and asked for.
The cooperation of Crawford county
papers to the farm bureau has been a
/ large benefit to the organization and
to the public as well. The Farm Blu
reau News department is evidence of
still better cooperation.
There are three purposes for having
the monthly Farm Bureau News. First,
the policies of the farm bureau direct
ors and members will be gathered I'M
der one head. In no way will the pa
pers be responsible for the articles
under the farm bureau page. 1t gives
a chance for opinions concerning agri-
culture welfare, with the public know
Ing where such opinions arise The
second purpose for this department is
to bring to the farm bureau members
the activities of the farm bureau of
each month. During the past year
much farm bureau work was state
wide. Projects carried on in one cOun-
tyi were carried on in every county in
the state. Daily papers covered the
work done. This year the farm bureau
Of each county will work more as in.
dividuals. The farm bureau news will
give the activities of each month as
well as announce as far as possible the
work for the future month.
The third purpose for having farm
bureau news set off by itself each
month Is the establishing of farmers
exchange. Farmers exchange is one
system of marketing. Under Farm
ers Exchange" detailed working plan
Is given. Inadequate marketing facili-
ties is one of the drawbacks of the
farms today and the exchange project
is aimed to overcome one Of the many
marketing problems.
The farm bureau news will hereaf-
ter appear in the third issue of each
month. The amount of material under
this heading will vary each issue. The
exchange column will appear every
month. AS to the articles every month
1t isn't how much, but how important.

Germany's Cotton Needs

Germany can use in the next twelve
months 100000 bales of cotton. That
is the cotton trades own estimate, pri-
vately arrived at. Whether she will
buy that much is another question, the
answer 20 which depends upon Ger
m2ny's ability to arrange credits to
pay for the commodity. That she will
buy to her capacity is taken for
granted, and the fact that the way is
now open for American cotton to go
into Germany direct was a potent fac
tor in forcing cotton prices to new
high prices yesterday. Cotton sold
here at 1920 cents pound for Octo-
Der delivery. Two million bales at that
price would stand Germany, without
considering freight and other charges,
a clean $350,000,000. Bankers have
estimated that Germany will borrow
as soon as practicable $500,00O,OO0
here. On the basis of present prices
and considering what Germany needs
besides cotton that would not go very

Coppers Strong

For a time the copper stocks dis
played sensational strength. Sales Of
the metal at II cents a pound and pros
poets of the heavy shipments of metal
to Germany furnished the lever by
which the stocks were pushed ahead.
Copper is now 6 cents above its low
price of early in the year. However
much doubt may be cast upon the re-
liability of the open market quotations
as announced from day to day-and
many people refuse to believe or trus.
the so-called official" quotations-the
producers and sellers of the metal have
certainly been able to keep the market
looking strong all the way up from 15
cents pound. 1t is reported in the
trade that most Of the copper metal
that was sold around the low levels
was United States government metal.
If this is true the producers are in a
position to get q really fair figure for
their own metal. The main drawback
in the situation from their viewpoint,
il seems, is the large surplus that re-
mains to be worked off

Financing Plan
For Mexican Oil
Concern in Court
Minority Stockholder of the
international Petroleum
Co. Seeks Injunction to
Prevent Its Adoption

Thomas E. Wing, lawyer, seeks,
through suit for an injunction brought
yesterday in the Federal Court, to pre-
vent the consummation of a plan for
financing the International Petroleum
Company, which, it is expected, will
be submitted to stockholders for ap-
proval at meeting called for next
Monday. The plan, he states, has been
drawn up by John Hays Hammond,
Harris Hammond and Frederick N.
Watrss, as a voting trust.
Mr.. Wing, in his petition to the
court, states that he is the holder Of
1928 shares Of the preferred and
26,S25 shares of the common stock of
the corporation, which has an author
lied capital of $6,0O0,O00 and operates
under a Maine charter.
The company, it is stated, has not
paid the Z per cent dividend promised
on the $2,00O,00O of preferred stock and
the accumulated dividends now amount
to $505,000.
Mr.. Wing states he was informed by
Harris Hammond, president of the cor
poration, that it was proposed to sell
$11 100000 in face value of debentures
and 172,500 shares of a new company
to bankers for $10,5000OO in cash. Un-
der this plan Harris Hammond, he al
leges, further stated that it was pro-
posed that all the additions and bet
terments made with the proceeds Of
the sale Of securities would be the
property of the new company
The property of the international
Petroleum Company, Mr.. Wing con-
tends, has an immediate cash value Of
S6,505,00O, which is sufficient to pay
for all it's stock together with all ac-
cumulated preferred dividends, and
that working capital can be procured
on more advantageous terms than those
contained in the proposed plan. He is
prepared, he states, to procure an oper-
ating contract for "the defendant, in
cluding' provision, if desired by the de-
fendant, for advances of cash without
q stock bonus or greater interest than
8 per cent per annum for the reason
able and proper development of the de-
fendants property, the drilling of new
wells and the building and furnishing
OF adequate pipe lines and tank facili-
ties, all upon terms yielding to the de-
fendant very much greater return
than is possible under the proposed
plan of financing"
The lease proposed by the commit
tee controlling the majority of stock is,
he declares, "at an utterly Inadequate
RENTAL and he further alleges that
the committee will be in effect con-
tracing with itself in making the
lease and will be much more interested
in protecting the new company than in
protecting the remaining stockholders
Of the defendante'
The properties of the international

The Markets
Market Disappointing

The market was disappointment to
buyers. Stocks started off we'll
enough, but the advance did not carry
through. Money was easier. The for
eign news was favorable, including
announcement of the lifting of the ban
on trading with Germany. Yet stocks
developed increasing irregularity and
closed heavy. There were few strong
spots, notably Chandler Motors, the
Mercantile Marine issues, Virginia
Carolina Chemical, Canadian Pacific,
National 'Enameling, American Cotton
Oh and various of the metal shares.
Utah Copper, Anaconda Copper and
American Smelling made new highs for
the year, but lost most of their early
gains.

of 2,2i9,219 tons, an increase of 290, 1876
tons over May. Production of the same
companies in the fiscal half Of the
current year reached 1882 $50 tons,
against 17,l22,056 tons in the CORE
spending period Of 1918. In the indus
try the belief is expressed that produc-
tion will continue to expand as the
year advances. June production was at
an annual rate of about 81 100000 tons.

The latest rise in the junior marine
shares had been based on belief that
the company, now that international
trade has been restored to normal
