Several had intended buying trac.
tors and plowing their sod land
which would have meant cost of
Sc or 81 an acre to get land in
fine enough condition to seed to
either alfalfa or sweet clover. The
writer said, "Why go to this ex-
pense when with it you do not have
the ground in as good shape as
when drilled direct on the sod? You
do not even have to disk the sod.
The minute you disk the sod or cul-
tivate in any manner you start a
crop Of weeds to grow, if nothing
else."
On non-irrigable land we find the
best time and method of seeding
sweet clover or alfalfa is to broad
cast it on the snow after the first
of January, or. if only small acre
age, along in February. Such freez-
ing as the seed gets takes the place
of scarifying the seed as many have
to do when not seeded until along
in June OF July. When the snow
melts it carries the seed down, am
pie depth in the ground and it is
there ready to start growing early
in the spring when warm enough
In this way you secure several
months advantage in time over the
common method of seeding.
If there is no snow in February
we would suggest using a drill with
clover seed attachment and stopping
up everyother hole so as to place
the rows at least 16 inches apart
and drill direct on the sod. The
ground may be so hard and dry
that you can hardly see the mark
where the drill passed over, but
you have the seed deposited and
when the snow comes it will do the
rest and get it started, and with
the later rains along in May and
June good stand is secured. We
have never made a failure yet and
have had some very dry springs.
By seeding in rows it gives the
plants more surface from which to
draw moisture as we'll as enabling
the grower to secure a good crop of
seed the second year.
On land that can be irrigated, we
give the land an irrigation before
seeding, if we do not seed until
May or June. Then we drill in not
deeper than one-half inch, and if no
rains come in the meantime, irri-
gate about every eight days for six
ty days, just sufficient to keep the
ground moist.
To prove that our three-acre plot
on sod three years ago was no ac-

sure he is securing genuine Grimm
For those who do not seed until
along in June, we would suggest
that they inoculate the seed. While
it might not be necessary in their
section, yet it produces a stronger
and harder plant, which is needed
especially on non-irrigable land.
Either alfalfa or sweet clover can
be inoculated with little labor and
the same bacteria for both. We buy
either the bacteria cultures, or go

on the subject and believes that this

ton in this valley. lie bases his
judgment on what he has observed
OF the volunteer plant.
It Is his opinion that it can, be
successfully propagated on SOD wit
out preparation of seed bed, and
that it will grow and flourish on
the rolling and elevated land as well
as in the draws where the ground
il flooded.
MI Smith is hoping that con-
siderable number of men will take

Mat Nidey Got Nice Stand This
Year.
Mat Nidey sowed three acres to
sweet clover last summer in beans
just before cultivating the beans the
last time. He harvested the beans
by hand pulling He got a good
stand of sweet Glove r, the plants
growing from two or three inches
to six inches in height The rank
er growth was in a draw where the
land was flooded. The only ques-
ton in regard to this patch is how
the plants are going to stand the
winter.
County Agent J. C. Hamilton Be-
lieves it is Profitable Crop.
Sweet clover is valuable forage,
pasture and seed crop for dry farm
ing 1t is very hardy and drouth
resistant and will thrive on most any
of our soils. 1t is dependable dry
farming crop where alfalfa is to-
tai failure.
Sweet clover hay is not as pal
atable to stock as alfalfa and occa-
sionally it is necessary to starve
them to it but this is rarely the
case if the crop is cut early before
it gets coarse and woody. Its feed
ing value as hay crop is almost as
high as alfalfa and as a pasture
crop for hogs and cows it is an
equal. The Illinois Experiment Sta
tion finds that it is an especially
valuable crop for milch cows and
hogs.
Mr.. Ayers has been successful in
seeding sweet clover on sod that
overflows one or more times during
the growing season. However, it is
probable that if we are to grow it
successfully over the entire farming
district that the crop should be plant
ed the first year on well titled
ground. Once started the crop
should be allowed to reseed itself
the second year. Once we'll started
we should be assured of a perma-
nent stand with small effort on
the growers part. Bulletins on
sweet clover can be secured at the
county agents office.

you seed the sod?"
To test this we seeded about three
acres on the sod some three years
ago at the rate of five pounds to
the acre, and secured the best stand
Of anything on the ranch. Now af-
ter three years it has killed out all
the wild grass and there is fine
mulch around the roots.
We have had many ranchers and
farmers come to make an inspection
of this alfalfa on the sod, saying
we would never have believed it if
we had not seen with our own eyes.

Paris, Mo-. 10.
Prices in France have reached their
peak. just as they did in America seven
months ago." according to Jesse l.
Straus of the firm of r. H. Macy & Co.
of New York. Declines have started in
many lines" he continued. "and have
little doubt they Will be intensified by
President Millerand's efforts to reduce
the high cost of living here, which indi-
Gates that he is convinced wages have
reached the maximum and there is no
reason for further increases"
Mr.. Straus expressed confidence that
Frances rehabilitation was only mat
ter of time and that the receipt by her
of the PREPARATIONS which she Is justly
entitled to under the peace treaty will
hasten the resumption Of normal con-
ditions.
Economically France is sound" he
continued ANY talk of reputation
by her of her obligations is utterly alb
surd, as there Is too much amour propre
and solidarity in the French nation for
anything like that. Her belief In her
own future is the best guarantee of her
recovery.
THE textile industries are feeling the
effects of the contraction in the demand
from the whole world, due to resentment
over high prices. The accumulation or
raw materials will have TO be worked off
at prices sufficiently lowered to find ac-
ceptance with the average customer.
This reduction in cloth prices will have
substantial effect on the American
market. offering opportunity for in
creased consumption of French goods,
which have suffered from competition
with lower grades at prices within range
of customers purses
"But the fact must not be overlooked
that French pride in the quality of their
work still exists and America could well
emulate II. 1t is a characteristic which
will enable France to retain her leader
ship wherever quality is prime con-
sideration. Naturally such production IS
slower. and Americans must be patient
in their expectations regarding de-
liveries."
Mr. Straus Is fostering "A plan where
by 300 French civilians will be the
guests of commercial and civic organi-
cations in the United States next year
and will visit the chief American cities
and study methods of industry and COM
merce in return for French hospitality

OF being selected from political circles.
as was the case with former missions,
these French delegates will be chosen
from the ordinary walks of life and Will

ready to properly interpret America to

tanned the assurance of help from lead
ing French American business men here

, Everything depends on getting some
Thing from Germany. This explains
French anxiety over separations ar
rangements. while the nervousness over
foreign exchange rates exhibited since
the election of Mr.. Harding as President
of the United States is due to the fear
that American financial aid will not
ynaterialize. All these things put to-
gether are responsible for the prophe-
cies OF impending disaster.
The French press is reflecting the
depression which is being expressed
forcibly by certain manufacturers here
regarding Finance Minister Marsars
budget arrangements for next year. The
4 French budget has reached the unprece-
d nted total of 1896. 100000 francs
of which $1,000, 100000. calculated at

SLAIN IN WRESTLING BOUT

Tower Hill Posse Trail Man After
Pursuers Are outdistanced.
Brownsville, Pa, Feb. 11.-What be-
gan as a friendly wrestling match in
the presence of many spectators at
Tower Hill ended in the murder of
Jacob Skirl, .hirty-eight years old, and
single, who was stabbed three times.
The police are looking for Joe Hen

cutting.
Spectators say that the men had an
argument as 20 which was the bet
ter wrestler, and that to decide the
question, both tossed off their coats
and hats and FLASHED. The men twist
ed and turned until suddenly Skirl
dropped to the floor and his adversary
hatless and coatless, dashed from the
building with the spectators in pur.

they returned to the house in which
the wrestling match was staged, they
found Skirl breathing his last.
