day. 1t wasn't. The discussion
centered around the great sev.
enty five million dollarcampaign.
The basis Of the discussion was
the reports on the variousphases
of missions and on education.
Rev. NJ. A.. Adams led the discus
sion, and if any man can raise
Watauga's part of that fund, he
will do it. The speeches on this
day were full Of earnestness.
There were repeated references
to new world problems. But if
the speakers had any very def,
mite conception as to what these
world problems are, or as to just
what the church may do toward
solving these pfoblems, they fail,
ed to put such conception into
words. They were apparently un-
aware of the significance ..of the
economic revolution now spread
ing over the world.
But not everything can be done
at once. The leaders have been
busy with the organization of
their forces. BY next year they
will have perfected their plans;
they will have put over big drive
and we may confidently expect
the same group Of leaders to pre-
sent to the association at Gar
Creek a program ofapplied chris
tlanity in advance of any thing
the country has ever known.

(propared by the United States Depart
i. ment of Agriculture)
Valuable as alfnlfa Is, 1t has ,.its
drawbacks. It is difficult to establish
in some parts of the country, especi
ally in the eastern states. 1t requires
careful methods Of handling. 1t is M
crop for the careless farmer; but Is 4
very profitable one for the farmer
who takes the trouble to learn how
to handle it from the seeding to the
feeding. One Of the important things
to learn Is just how to make alfalfa
hay, according to specialists Of the
United States department OF agricul-
ture.
Alfalfa does not cure at all readily,
and good quality hay is hard to get.
Especially Is this true of the first cut
ting, which comes when heavy rains
are apt to interfere with it's proper
curing. The bright green hay so COM
mon in the irrigated sections is al
most never seen in the humid regions,
due to injury from rain.
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 rather than num-
Der of cuttings. Where four cuttings
are possible, three usually are more
desirable and more profitable. More
hay is actually made for the season;
and the plants are left in better con-
dition for the winter.
The first growth usually is rank.
sometimes causing the farmer to think
it should be cut before it 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 it is coming
into bloom and the basnl shoots are
making 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.
Methods of Harvesting.
Methods of making alfalfa hay
vary in different sections of the coun-
try; but the basic principles are the
same. The motto everywhere is: "Cure
alfalfa hay quickly, with as little
and exposure to the weather
as possible" Rapid curing holds the
leaves on better. Less handling knocks
fewer of them off. This is important |

In the humid sections Of the cotln

much more difficult. The cutting fire.
quently must be delayed several days
on account of bad weather. The opera.

that more time is required. Hay caps

Stack Alfalfa Hay.
High moisture content sometimes
makes 1T desirable to stack alfalfa
hay instead Of putting It In the barn.
This Is especially true of the first cut
ting Build stacks carefully and In n
shape that will expose as little of
the hay to the weather as possible
Cover the tops with marsh grass, Su-
dan grass. millet, or some other long
grass that will make n good thatch
Anchor a well-made thatch with rocks
on the ends of wire on top of a prop
erly made stack, and the hay will
keep almost as well as In the barn. In
fact, 1t may keep better, on account
of the likelihood of new alfalfa hay
heating In the NOW.
If the hay Is put In the NOV, 1t is
well to provide for some extra ven
tilation, especially If its moisture con-
tent is high. This can be arranged by
placing horizontally at frequent inter-
walls ventilatorS made of lumber.
These may be simply framework in
triangular or rectangular shapes
placed in the hay as the NOW is filed.
Haymaking is an operation that
must be done in certain space of
time that is short at best, and that
Is always liable to be made shorter
by bad weather. For this reason
there is no farm operation in which
system and efficiency count for more
so it will pay every farmer to know
just when and just how to make the
most of his alfalfa crop.

If Pullets Are to Lay Early
Growth Must Be Uninterrupted
INTERRUPTION REGULAR HABITS OR RADICAL CHANGE
OtvDIET AT PUILETS LIFE WILL. DELAY

;. Department Of Agricultural
to retard laying. In fact, poultry
fanciers who desire to keep pullets
in condition for exhibition often use
this means of keeping them from lay
ing. On the average, pullets about
to begin laying are more sensitive to
disturbances than at any other stages
of their growth, and therefore re-
quire greater care in handling, but
disturbances retarding the growth
even of small chicks are likely to
postpone the beginning of egg pro-
duction.
1t is imperative that every poultry
keeper exercise the maximum of eau
ton from the time the chicks are
Matched until the pullets attain ma
turity, so that the fowl will make
regular growth and not be subjected
to any factors which will stunt or
divert the proper development of the
birds. The alphabet of proper man
agement of the pullets emphasizes
such factors as correct nourishment,
regularity, comfort, well-being, con.
stitution, exercise, and cleanliness
Given the proper care and surround
ings, the early Matched chick will de
velop into a profitable, early and per
sistent producer of eggs. This is the
goal toward which every poultryman
should work.

UNIFORM MILEAGE.

Miller tires. made famous through
Their advertising which emphasizes
uniform workmanship" and uni

being introduced TO the motorists of
Olympia and Thurston county by
Begg brothers, proprietors of the New

While new to autoists of this dis
trict, as they have not been distrib-
uted here before, Miller tires have
had a remarkable success since the
establishment of the factory of the
Miller Rubber company at Akron
Ohio, three years ago. and the chief
factor in gaining them their popu-
larity has been the uniform work
manship' and uniform mileage sc
emphasized in their advertising.
Miller tires also have a distinctive
tread, a V-shaped non-skid, upon
which the company basis the asser.
>tion, also prominent in all their ad
vertising. that they are "geared tc

The Company also produces a new

that the half-sole principle is applied
in a new and durable way.

The growing pullet is creature
of habit, thoroughly addicted to reg
ularity and vigorously opposed TO
disturbance and unusual commotlon.
1t is essential for the good OF the
flock in it's entirety that the pullets
should grow and improve like clock
work, from the time OF hatchlng 10
maturity. Laying Is often retarded
by seemingly trivial disturbances,
such as moving the fowl from place
to place and changing the makeup
of the ration.
In order to insure early eggs see
to 1t that the growth OF the puilets
is not retarded in any manner what
ever. Almost without exception the
pullet whose growth from Matching
to maturity has been regular. not
subject to checks and Interruptions,
is an early layer. In support of the
statement that checked growth re-
suits in retarded laying, comes the
fact that May-hatched pullets often
