The collapse of the soviet govern.
ment of Bavaria apparently was COM
plete, and was followed by the whole
sale slaughter of Spartacans and sus
poets, the excuses of the victors in
Munich being about as bad as had been
those of the reds while they were in
control. The German government
troops were aided by some 5000 Aus
TRANS in regaining the city.

Dispatches concerning Hungary have
been conflicting. From Vienna came
the word that the communist govern
ment of Bella Kun had surrendered I'M
conditionally, but this was not wholly
confirmed. Anyhow, the communists
were being hard pressed by the Czech,
Roumanian and Serbian troops, which
were surrounding Budapest. Copen-
hagen advices were that they had re
fused armistice terms offered by the
Roumanians and decided to fight to a
finish.

The city was under heavy artillery fire.
The allies in northern Russia had sew

his call for an extra session of con-

had been expected. He cannot be In
Washington for the opening of the ses

in Paris. The Republicans, who will
control both houses, are busy prepar-

hurry through lot of appropriation
bills and in the senate will be staged
the great debate over the peace treaty,
and especially the covenant Of the
league of nations. 1t is predicted that
the senate will give the entire treaty
its approval, though many of the men,

all Of them will be returned before
long, barring unforeseen complications.
However, it is apparent that we will
continue to be represented in the al

The American Legion, in process of
organization by veterans of the great
war, opened caucus in st. Louis with
a thousand delegates present and Lieut..
Col. Theodore Roosevelt in the chair.
The first sessions developed decided
dissension between the National Guard
and the regular army. The feelings of
the former were voiced by Col. Bennett
Clark, son of Champ Clark, in the Ma
tional Guard convention, when he de-
clared that the regular army ''must be
smashed" However, he is fighting
against the effort to have regular army
men excluded from the Legion. Some
of the Southern delegates were work

negroes to membership.
Messrs. Walsh, Dunno and Ryan,
whom the Americans of Irish blood
sent across to work for a "free Ire
land" have succeeded in arousing the
hot resentment Of the British against
what many of them say is the unwar-
ranted interference of the United
States in a matter that does not con-
Germ it. The delegation, visiting in Ire
land, was feted and escorted by Sim
Fein leaders and at the same time, ac-
cording to hostile journals, was openly
boasting that it has received strong en-
enlargement from President Wilson
and that Lloyd George would receive
it on its return to Paris.

Valuable as alfalfa is, it has its
drawbacks. It is difficult to establish
in some parts of the country, especi-
ally in the eastern states. It requires
careful methods Of handling. It is no
crop for the careless farmer; but is a
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 its 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 basal shoots are
making a 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 thu
same. The motto everywhere is: "Cur'
alfalfa hay quickly, with as LITTLE
handling and exposure to the weather
as possible" Rapid curing holds tn
leaves on better. Less handling knocks
| fewer of them off. This is important

Buckwheat has q definite place In
American agriculture, limited when
