forests are now being worked out.
One of the army aviators in the
fire patrol work recently made a sue
cessful flight to the floor of the 4o-
semitic valley. To make a landing the
aviator had to gain an altitude of H.
900 feet and spiral down between the
walls of the canyon, which are 5000
feet high and a quarter Of a mile
apart. The landing was difficult be-
of high trees and wires, This
exploit was of much interest to for
est officers, as it is thought to have
been a step toward the more extended
use of airplanes in the forests, where
landing places in the mountains are
comparatively few.

DANCER IN MEAT
PACKERS POWER
SAYS MURDOCH
Claims Even Government May
Not be Strong Enuogh to
Combat Big Five"
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. - Victor
Murdoch, member Of the Federal
Trade Commission, told the House in
terstate commerce committee that he
feared the five big packers had ac-
Quired 80 much power that even the
United States government might not
be strong enough to combat 1t.
Even Food Administrator Hoover"
Mr.. Murdoch said, could not reach
into Chicago and take the license Of
q great malefactor, although he could
rescind the license Of one Of the little
fellows"
This testimony Of the trade commits
sioner followed his statement that
facts gathered during the commissions
investigation Of the meat packing in
dustry had been turned over to the
Department of Justice and that he had
no doubt that proceedings under the
antitrust law would result.
Mr.. Murdoch expressed fear that
the legislative branch Of the govern
ment would deal weakly instead of
vigorously with the packers. His
statement that the packers were well
aware where there would be vacan-
cies on Senate and House committees
which would consider their case, and
that they would try to see to it that
their friends" got on these commit
tees as vacancies occurred, brought
sharp questioning from members Of
the committee.

OHIO LAW HELD
TO Be INVALID

COLUMBUS. O.. Feb. 15.7On what
Is described as presumption" the
supreme court unanimously held
law enacted by the general assembly
to be invalid.
The effect of the decision is to seat
Judge Harvey C. Smith of GAINESVILLE,
Republican. as secretary OF state. to
displace William D. Fulton, Democrat,
who contested his election on the
ground that as Smith held the office
Of probate Judge OF Muskingum county
the votes cast for him were void under
Section 1926 OF the general code.
The decision was a surprise to many
attorneys who had followed the argu-
ments and was stunning to supporters
of Secretary OF State Fulton, who be-
lieved he had strong case.
Fulton himself was quickly recon
ciled and is prepared to turn over his
Office to Judge Smith as soon as the
jurist applies for it.

essentials of the production of clean

is apt to contain disease-producing
bacteria, or be otherwise abnormal,
and such milk is not clean or safe as

of clean milk and to help keep cows
healthy, the stables should be cleaned

supplied.
All dairy utensils should be kept

prevent the rapid growth of harmful

Growing Sweet Clover
BY J. c. KLINE, County Agent.

Much interest is developing in the
sweet clover plant. Many farmers
have made inquiries in regard to this
plant within the last month. Since
there are SO many failures in growing
sweet clover the writer will give be-
low some Of the requirements neces-
sary In obtaining stand.
The requirements for obtaining a
stand of sweet clover are somewhat
exacting. For the reason that sweet
clover is found growing luxuriantly in
waste places and on uncultivated land
many men think that 1t can be sown
any time, any place, and in any man.
er with good success. Many failures
have resulted on this account 1t is
therefore necessary to properly pre-
pare the seed bed, use good seed and
SOW at the proper time.
The seed bed can be plowed and
narrowed we'll until the soil Is in a
compact condition. Flowing is not
necessary in all cases but the best re-
suits are secured by this practice.
Many men SOW the sweet clover in
the winter wheat during the month of
March after all danger of frost Is
over. The seed Is sown at the rate
Of Is pounds per acre and is narrowed
in with a spike tooth harrow. In
case the seed is sown in this manner,
II will be necessary to enoculate the
seed by the pude culture method be-
fore sowing.
Most OF the main seed houses
handle this culture or 1t can be Sc
cured from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Full directions are given
with the culture and these should be
1f,,11 fD11 Tro Sc,o hc0
lutely necessary in most cases. Fail
ures usually result when the seed or
soil are not inoculated. The soil
transfer method is one of the best
methods Of inoculating where alfalfa
or sweet clover are growing near by.
This may be done by obtaining soil
from an alfalfa field or ground on
which sweet clover is craving and
spreading it over the field which is to
be seeded at the rate of 800 pounds
Of soil per acre. This can be sown
broadcast by hand or with a fertilizer
drill where it sown alone This inoc-
ulated soil should be narrowed in i'm
mediately, as exposure to the sun and
the drying out of the soil will kill the
bacteria. Best results may be OBJ
tanned by supplying the soil on a
cloudy day.
In cutting for hay it is necessary to
cut the sweet clover before the stalks
become too woody. About the time
the first blossoms appear is the prop
or time to cut the first year Unless
sown very early it is not advisable to
cut it for hay the first year. In all
cases the stubble should be left high
enough to leave a few branches and
leaves on each plant. If cut too close
many of the plants will be killed.
Sweet clover makes excellent pas
ture for all classes of livestock. 1t is
preferable to alfalfa since it very rare
ly causes bloat. If the crop is pas
tured sufficient live stoc should be
placed on the field to keep the plant
from becoming tall and woody. 1t
produces a very early pasture and sur
wives the mid summer droughts and
grows on soils where other crops fail.
1t also prevents washing Of soil in
the rougher sections.
