Ten to L. pounds of red top and to
pounds of Japan clover is the best
combination for pasture on poor re-
claimed land. Orchard grass seeded
on the new ground part Of the field
would probably improve the pasture.
Orchard grass should be sown only
upon ground Of good fertility. 1t is
also pos>ibl that red, alSkc, or white
clover or a combination of these
might be used to advantage on the bet
ter parts Of the field. If The land is
rolling and, inclined to wash, II may
be necessary to sow a light seed ns
Of spring oats with all Of these grasses
otherwise It would DE better for the

In hogging off, use soy beans In

1t is doubtful II the Improvement Of
the soil, by the plan suggested, would
be sufficient to insure stand of red

II will require considerable amount
Of manure to take the place OF lime,

FALL FERTILIZER PRICES WILL BE
 30 PCT. LOWER
This Applies to Northern States, Southern Prices
 Not Announced.

Washington, D. C., June 7.-As a result of the Department of Agricul- ture's conference and communica- tions with individual manufacturers of fertilizer, without the department having fixed any prices, it is now in a position to announce that the far mers of the country should obtain their mixed fertilizer for the fall sea- son of 1919 at an average price of about 30 per cent lower than the prices which prevailed for the spring season just passed. This statement applies to the territory north of Ark ansas, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, but including the Ohio river counties of West Virginia. Fertili- ger prices for the Southern States have noe yet been put out. State ments concerning other territory will be issued as soon as prices are made.
 The different companies in some instances will put out goods at slightly varing figures, but the at tached table shows maximum f. 0. b. prices at which the principal fertili- ger grades at the three great cen ters for fertilizer distribution, Balti- more, Md; Philadelphia, Pa., and Cartre, N. J., to dealers and to far mers ordering 30 ton lots may be obtained.
 Prices in 30 Ton Lots.
 These prices are to dealers and to farmers ordering 30 ton lots and are based upon delivery in 167 pound bags. If in 200 pound bags 25 cents per ton should be deducted; in 125 pound bags 25 cents per ton, and 100 pound bags 50 cents per ton should be added These prices are subjects to a discount of per cent if paid in cash on December 1, and furthSr discount of one-half per cent for each month in advance of that date. These are maximum prices and com
 petition in the trade may make prices lower.
 The fertilizer trade conditions pro- vide that these f. o. b. rates shall apply to New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and approximately the eastern half of Pennsylvania. In the Middle Western territory, including New York, western Pennsylvania, ! and the Ohio river counties of West l Virginia and west to the western Missouri and Iowa boundry lines $3..75 per ton will be added for freight to any railroad delivery point; to Long Island delivery points $2.5O per ton will be added; and to New England $4.50 will be added to rail, water, or trolley. delivery points. In addition to the prices quoted to New England points there will be added $3 per ton for shipments in less than carload lots from which a deduction is made of $1 per ton if carload IS ordered; $2 per ton in the event of two carloads and up to 99 tons; $2.5O for 100 to 199 tons; and $2 for 200 tons and over.
 It is understood, of course, that the farmers ordering less than 30 ton lots there must also be added to these prices a fair profit to the dealer which usually amounts to about $2 per ton.
 The department is also giving con- sideration to the differential m de- livery rates in different parts of the country which have prevailed in the fertilizer trad for some years.

WILL ATTEMPT TO SAVE
Wartime PROHIBITION

An effort to prevent the lifting Of
wartime prohibition before the con-
stitutional amendment becomes ef-
fective is to be made by some dry"
leaders in Congress. but doubt is ex-
pressed whether the necessary leg
islation can be enacted before the end
OF the special session. late this
month.
Representative Randall. prohibi.
ZIONIST, California, said today that
when the House took up the bill to
extend the food control act for six
peace he would offer an amendment
continuing the wartime liquor act
until January Is. 1920, when the
country goes dry" by constitutional
amendment.
Opponents Of such a move and some
Of the "drys" admitted that such a
proposal would be subject to defeat
on parliamentary grounds.
