RULES FOR FLAG
USE ARE STRICT


Every American loves his flag and
he takes glory in displaying it on ey-
cry occasion. But, the ignorance of
most Americans in the set rules for
use of the flag is woful. Military
officers frequently point this out. For
the guidance Of those who revere the
flag but have hazy idea of the strict
rules which govern its uses, the War
Camp Community Service recently
called attention of the public to few
of the rules.
They include:
The American flag never should be
festooned or draped when used for
decorative purposes. 1t always should
hang fiat.
The flag never is said to be at shalt
mast. 1t is flown at shalt staff. y
And, when flown at half staff, it first
should be raised to full staff and ther
lowered to the half.
On Memorial Day, fly the flag 81
half staff until noon; at full staff
from noon to sunset.
Never let the flag touch the ground.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-08-29

In the army and navy this is an unfor-
giyable offense.
In the military services, the flag is
lowered at sunset. From private
poles, however, the flag may fly at
all hours, day and night. But, it's
an act of respect, despite this allow
ance, to take the colors in at sunset.
When the American flag is flown
anywhere with another fro mthe same
staff, the American flag flies upper
most.
When the flag becomes old or soiled
it is an act of reverence and respect
to burn it decently.

HOW TO GROW ALFALFA

Success with alfalfa is dependent
on at least FIVE factors, neglect of
any one Of which may result in fail
ure with the crop. We place these
essentials in the order Of their inn
portance as follows: az lime; (2)
drainage; 49, incubation; az rich
land; (5l d fine seed bed. Let us
now consider in detail these essen
tials to alfalfa success.
Alfalfa is lime loving crop, and
unless the soil is naturally well sup
Piled with lime, applications are nee
essary if alfalfa is to succeed. How
ever, not less than one to two tons
per acre of burnt lime or two to four
tons of ground lime rock should be ap-
piled.
Next to lack of lime, poor drainage
is probably most responsible for the
frequent failures with alfalfa. This
/ is a crop that simply will not tolerate
"wet feet" and failure is fairly GER
tain when it is planted on a soil that
is liable ever to become "water-log-
gedD for more than few hours at q
time.
| Our favorite method of incubation
is to use broadcast from 1000 ia
1000 per acre Of soil taken from 9
field where alfalfa or some crop util-
izing the same bacteria has been sue
cessfully grown. This soil may be
scatteded over the fields and narrowed
in at the same time the seed are SOW
ed. In the absence of supply of soil
artificial cultures that are fairly de-
pendable may be had from firms that
specialize on such preparations, OF
from the United States Department
of Agriculture in small quantities.
Alfalfa likes rich land, and if it is
not rich it should be made so before
planting. In the lime land sections
previously referred to, the soils are
often fertile enough to grow alfalfa
without additional plant foods; but on
ordinary sandy and loan cotton lands,
eight to ten or twelve tons per acre of
good manure, supplemented with 300
to 400 pounds Of acid phosphate, will
be a great helf. It has also been
found profitable to precede the fall
sowed alfalfa with crop Of peas, well
worked to keep any grass from max
ing seed to choke the young alfalfa
the following spring.
AS a general rule, we regard fall
seeding Of alfalfa preferable to spring
