MORE ABOUT SWEET CLOVER

During the last week The World
has been referred to as ssboosting for
sweet clover" This reference was
was made in the form of criticism.
From a personal knowledge neither
the World nor any of its Office force,
knows anything about sweet clover
and therefore it is not prepared to
either boost for it or to knock against
it. The World has let the farmers
who are raising sweet clover speak
for it through its columns. IF any
farmer has anything to say against
it he is also welcome to the columns
of the World If sweet clover is a
good thing for western Kansas the
farmers should know it and should
raise it. If it is not a good thing it
should receive the same treatment
which is given the bind weed or any
thing else which is not worthy of
growing space.
While all reports received have been
favorable to sweet clover, it is just
as well for the farmers to remember
that there was a time when the plant
was considered a pest and was treated
the same any other weed How
ever, agricultural colleges and. pro-
gressive farmers everywhere are now
boosting for sweet clover and are
Tecomm ending 1t as feed crop.
There may be an object in this. They
may have seed for sale Farmers
should go slow on it and give it
trial on a small plat before sowing
any great amount of it. Cattle and
other stock will eat it but we have
been informed that a cow will starve
to death on it, There may be no
punishment in the plant 1t can cas-
lily be tried out. Another farmer who
thinks sweet clover is good thing is
NJ. NJ. Gregg, near Pa1co. He writes
the following:
81 have about two acres which I
sowed this spring (which is
now about eight inches high. Another
patch was sown on sandy land and is
not doing as well. j. E. Kinzie, near
Palco, also has a patch which he let
seed back last fall. I have not seen
it for some time. He had some trou-
bic last fall with his cattle breaking
through the fence to get it, but it did
not hurt them. I have some of the
biennial variety and also one row of
the annual variety in the garden. I
do not know much about sweet clover
but am willing to learn
Farmers who have used sweet
clover as hay crop or for ensi1ag e
are requested to report results to this
Office

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES

Another farmer calls our attention
to the fact that he has a field in which |
his loss of wheat is perhaps SO per
cent because of the ravages of Hes
sian fly. Fields of this kind should
be watched carefully and all of the
stubble turned under early and the
volunteer kept down them until
seeding time to avoid the spreading
of this pest. Because of the difficulty
of blowing last year, large amount
of volunteer wheat was allowed to
go through and this has made an es-
pecially fertile spot for the develop
ment of the Hessian fly 1t viii be
worth while to spend little time and
money in getting rid of these pests
early in he game.-E1lis County News.

1t is not claimed by business men
to be more than should be expected at
this season of the year, but there are
numerous reduction sales being adver-
tisd through the country newspapers
just now. 1t may be that these reduc-
tons sales should be expected but
they are omens of the approach of
lower prices which Will come within

prices has been reached. No discount
sales have been advertised during the

1t is the same old story but it can
happen only about once in four years
now that the primary election laws
are in operation in so many of the
states. The candidates for president
before the republican national CON
vention who could not gain strength
enough to secure the nomination are
now accusing their supporters of be-
ing cutters and traitors. It is a poor
sport who cannot peaceably with
draw from a race in favor of some
new man when he knows there is alb
soluteIy no chance for winning the
prize for himself

The claim is repeatedly made now
a-days that is cost so much money to
run for office that only a rich man
can afford to enter the race. There
is some truth to the statemen but
while it costs considerable money the
voice Of the people is raised against
the candidate who spends a barrel of
money trying to receive a nominate
or an election. Many cases could be
cited to support this assertion but the
most recent are the three candidates
who stood the highest in the race for
the nomination before the republican
national convention. The vote of the
people would not have elected either
one of them had they been given the
nomination.

Cinging Mussel Shell
Tells Pretty Story

Bobby, Betty and their mother
were having one of their periodic
rambles of which the children were
so fond.
They had taken a long car ride;
in fact to the end of the bne, and
then had walked a long way through
the woods and came out upon the
banks of stream whose gravelly
bottom and rocky sides were very
attractive and interesting to the chill
dren.
They liked to hunt out the MOSES
and ferns between the rocks, and to
watch the tiny, darling fish, as they
glided about the bottom of the clear
water, to throw in a crumb of bread
and see the little fellows dart to the
surface after it, and as swiftly dis
appear again.
Bobby, forging ahead. came upon
