 Came From Alabama
 When the Iowa station first dis tributed seed of this clover it YVES careful to point out that 1t had not originated at Ames, but that a few plants had been found in seedlings made with the common biennial sweet clover. It was believed that a Sport" or mutation had occurred somewhere on wild land, probably a number of years ago. where it made it's growth and produced it's seed year after year without being observed.
 Following the distribution of over 47,000 samples of seed by the Iowa station In the spring of 1920, reports came from over half Of the states of the union that this clover was al- ready growing there. All of these reports were investigated without finding anything of the real source of the new clover. Finally two in- quiries from Alabama to leading agricultural journals which gave a promising clue were referred to the Iowa station. Convinced that this clever was growing wild there, MT. Hughes spent the month of July in the neighborhood of Newborn, Ala duh aIter ds lnoIouSn lnNestisdtloii as was possible was convinced that the original mutation from which all of this clover has been developed occurred on a limestone ridge run ming northwest and southeast a few miles south of Newborn probably over 30 years ago, but because the new clover made nearly as much growth in four months as the com mon biennial did in two seasons the fact that there were really two kinds had never been fully appreciated.

l have had several stories about my trip under the head of Men, Women and Things" but having been asked so many questions about my visit, the new clover, the section in which it originated and the people who are back of hubam that I have gotten what information could. and will give 1t here with illustrations
 As much as I was impressed with the wonderful new discovery l. was more impressed with the men behind It's cultivation and exploitation, for believe them not only to be men of science. but what is more to the point, men of high honor and gem uine desire to uSe their find in the benefit of mankind; .and while they hope to make some money out of hubam, which is right and natural it is no get-rich- quick scheme, but in reality a public service.
 Association Organized
 In July, 1920, the growers of this clover in the vicinity of Newborn organized the Alabama White Sweet Clover Seed Growers association, more recently known as the Alabama Hubam Glover association The pur- pose in forming this organization was to protect buyers of the new seed by preventing in so far as possible the sale of common clovers under the name of hubam.
 Discovered in Iowa in 1916
 This clover was found growing in greenhouses at Ames by Professor Hughes, in the winter of 1915-16.
 In the spring of 1918, from 50 to 100 seed were sent to each of the state experiment stations and to all of the large seed companies, Tests made in that year indicated that the clover might prove of very great value from as far north as central Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and from New England to California.

fered its seed at $5 per pound (busheI lots at s200 per bushel.). The demand for seed was much greater than we could supply. A representative frora an Illinois county farm bureau spent 10 days here at Newborn investf- gating this clover and our associa- ton. Before leaving he purchased six bushels of seed at s200 per busheL The seed was sold out so rapidly that an additional order placed only a few days later for 20 bushels (making a total of 26 bushels for this one county organization could not be filled.
 To Spend Year at Newborn
 Prof. Fl. D. Hughes of the Iowa State college. who discovered the clover and has been responsible for it's wide distribution and the trials conducted with 1t, has been granted years leave of absence from Iowa and is at Newborn. MT. Hughes is making a special study of the clover from the trials already made with it in all parts of the United States and those under way this year For such a study he naturally chose to come where the plant undoubtedly orig mated.
 As agricultural adviser of the Ala bama Hubam Glover association, Pro- lessor Hughes has under his general supervision the growing, inspection, harvesting and cleaning of- the hu- ban clover seed sold by this associa. ton.
 Fields RigidIy Inspected
 This association has about 1900 acres of hubam clover under cultiva- tion this year. Every acre of this clover has been inspected again and again to insure absolute purity, true ness to type and freedom from all foreign seed or noxious weeds The seed from this acreage will all be sold through the association at a uni- form price in order that the purity and genuineness of the seed may be guaranteed to the purchaser.
 Seed will no doubt be offered as hubam which is nothing but the common sweet clover or at most mixed seed, as there will be individ- ua1s who will no doubt yield to the temptation to take advantage of the Hubam seed situation. One well known and supposedly reputable southern seed house this past spring offered seed as genuine 'hubam" but later confessed that the seed was nothing but the common biennial white and annual yellow sweet clover (worth from to Is cents per pound.) Fictitious seed companies without if nancial responsibility have offered clover, seed as genuine hubam and at hubam prices. while a number Of persons are known to have boasted that they expect to unload a lot of common sweet clover seed under the name of hubam and at hubam prices. You realize something of the loss 60 you; not SC much in the money paid for the seed as in the lost oppor tunity to profit from this crop-- should you fail to get pure, genuine

A CAUSE OF
 WOMEN'S ILLS
WOMEN OFTEN TEHEK THEY HAVE aEART TROUBLE. INDIGESTION, NER- NOUS rRosTRATION. ETC. WHEN IT'S. SIMPLY IRON STARVATION OF THE
 BLOOD.

Many women believe they are weak and nervous result of age, worry and overwork; they think that their disturbed diges ton, headaches, heart palpitation, shortness of breath, pains across the back, etc, are due to some serious disease instead of the real cause-iron starvation of the blood. This is proven by the fact that when many of these same women take organic iron for awhile all their alarming symptoms quickly disap- pear and they become strong, robust and enable your blood to change food into liv- ing cells and tissue. Without it nothing you eat does you the proper amount of good-you do not get the strength out or it.
 If you are not strong and we'll do not wait until you go all to pieces and col lapse in state of nervous prostration, but take some organic iron--Nuxated Iron -at once. But be sure it's organic iron and not metallic iron which people usual ly take and which is made merely by the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron. Organic NUxATED IRON is like the iron in your blood and like the Iron in spinach, lentils and apples and it often increases the bodily and mental vigor of weak. wornout women in two weeks time.
 Beware of substitutes. Look for the word 'Nuxated" every package and the letters N. I. every tablet. Your money will be refunded by the nanufac- turers if you do not obtain perfectly sat isfactory results. At all druggists.--Ady.'

I in 1916. it was with the statement that it had made the remarkable 1 growth of four and one-half feet in three and half months from seed ing, while medium red clover and common sweet clover grown in com parson and under exactly the same conditions measured five inches and 14 inches, respectively, Many tests in all parts of the country showed growths of from six to eight feet in 1918, while in 1920 the clover grew nine feet high in three and one-half months, or just twice the growth first reported by the Iowa station. Growths of from seven to ten feet have been reported from nearly every state and from many foreign coun- tries
 Grew Feet in BE- Months seeding of hubam made in New York on June 1 of last year meas- ured exactly 10S inches (nine feeD. in 1os days (three months and 1e days) from planting This clover made a total growth of 10 feet, and matured before the end of the sea- son. Many carefully measured 10 foot growths were reported from widely different parts of the country W nile we may not want a 10-foot clover for hay, and hogs might have seme difficulty in getting the tender topmost leaves, the vigor of the growth reported gives some idea of the possibilities of the plant for green manure, pasture and honey pi oduction. Grown under crowded field conditions the clover makes a much finer growth and may furnish two cuttings of hay, or an abundance Of highly nutritious pasture for such animals as cattle, horses or sheep,
 But the remarkably rapid and viz orous growth made by this clover Is only one of the many Interesting demonstrations of the year. When seeded with small grain at Ames. Iowa. it produced six times the growth of medium red and mammoth clover, and three times that of the biennial white sweet clover, follow ing the removal of the small grain crop. When seeded broadcast on a weedy and poorly prepared seedbel the last of May it overcame the weeds, made growth of 5Ia to feet and matured a seed crop.
 Drought Resistant
 The drouth resistant qualities of the clover are reported from several states as remarkable. In one in stance, without irrigation and with less than one inch of rainfall after the clover was seeded, it grew to a height of ' feet and showed no i'll effect of the drouth when other veg citation perished In the worst drouth experienced since 1882.
 The growth when carefully meas- ured has often averaged over IF inches per day, with maximum un- der greenhouse conditions of 21s inches in IS hours,
 Its heavy seed setting characters are indicated by seed spikes which have measured 20 inches in length. Planted in rows 3 feet apart the seed yields have averaged from to bushels per acre, while with close- ly spaced growths the yield has run over 10 bushels per acre of clean. scarifield seed.

arranging things generally that the
hen would get back on the job Of lay
ing eggs with less delay. An expert
enced New York poultryman declared
he had solved the problem by cutting
down very materially the hens rations
for several days. This was followed
by heavier feeding than ordinarily.
The menu, or the lack Of 1t, stopped
laying, and often resulted In molting
at once
The results were not so satisfactory
as had been hoped. In many cases
the hens did not finish the molt much,
II any, quicker than II they had been
let alone. 1t didn't seem possible by
this means to control the time at
which the hens could be brought back
to laying. Egg production could be
stopped all right. but 1t couldn't be
resumed any earlier than usual, and
sometimes II looked as If 1t had been
stopped permanently. Obviously, this
wouldn't do.
One Of the chief attractions Of poul-
try keeping Is a constant supply Of
eggs, let the feathers fall when they
may. SO the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture doesn't advise any
one to try systems that seem in con-
flict with nature, who seems to have

way of her own in such Things.
AS a rule, hens that begin to mott
early do the job slowly, and are the
poorer LAYERS Of the flock, while those
that molt late get through with 1t
quickly, and are about the best lay
ers. Usually it takes three or four
months to complete the process or
molting. A few are all through In two
months. Some go at 1t gradually, as
if they didn't like to attract attention,
while others drop all the feathers
they have, or nearly all, at one time,
and go about almost naked, with no
regard for the proprieties. And while
this Is going on the hens lay few or
no eggs. This Is because the growth
of a new coat Of feathers makes such
demand upon the body that it Is out
of the question for egg production to
continue in any large degree.
The growth Of feathers, like all
other growth, calls for a plentiful sup
ply of protein in the ration. Most pOul-
try raisers, however, make no effort to
feed q special ration at moltlng time,
but continue to give the laying ration
which the hens have been getting
right along. This is good practice be-
cause a laying ration contains pro-
tein which goes into the forming OF
feathers, since egg production practi-
cally ceases when the molt begins.
Still some poultrymen like to be sure
there is a liberal supply Of protein
available for the hens during the molt-
ing period.
Sunflower Seed in Favor.
Rations which contain a high per-
ccntage Of fat have tendency to
give the feathers a high gloss. Sun
flower seed, because of its fat content,
is in favor among some poultrymen as
a feed during the molting period. espe-
cially with birds which they wish to
get into the best condition for exhibit

MOST SATISFACTORY

Well-rotted barnyard manure which
Is comparatively free from weeds is
the most satisfactory fertilizer for fall
sown alfalfa, according to specialists

II the manure Is not available. a

tilizers rich in phosphoric acid should
be made. The percentage of nitrogen
may be low, but some nitrogen should
be supplied for the use Of the young
plants before tley become inoculated

from the air. On most clay soils
heavy applications of potash have
not been profitable. A combination

To Whole World, Harding
States-Committees Plan
Emergency Relief

Washington.-The national CONFER
ence on unemployment, called by Pres
ident Harding, organized Monday ana
adjourned until October 5, at which
time the ten subcommittee Will pre-
sent suggestions for emergency rellei'
Opening the initial session, Presl-
dent Harding declared the present In
dustrial depression was "a war inherit
ance throughout the world" adding
that the results hoped for from the
conference might extend beyond the
borders of the United States.
Asserting that there ought to be
work in this country for every one'
the president described the United
States "as fundamentally sound, finan-
cially strong; industrially unimpaired,
commercially consistent and politically
unafraid"
Both the president and Secretary
Hoover, chairman Of the conference
emphasized the need OF an employed
program which would not contemplate
a drain on the national treasury.
Outlining the questions before the
conference, Mr. Hoover declared:
mo problem can be adequately ap-
preached for solution without knowl-
edge of facts.
There was needed" he said, first,
determination of the volume and dis
tribution of unemployment" then, "a
determination of what emergency
measures should be taken to provide
employment" and "a consideration and
statement of what measures must be
taken to restore our commerce and
employment to normal, or, to put 1t
another way, what obstacles need to
be removed to promise business re-
covery-the only real and lasting rem
edy for unemployment"
Fundamentally sound, financially
strong, individually unimpaired, com
mercially consistent and politically un
afraid the president asserted, there
ought to be work for everybody in the
United States who chooses to work
and our condition at home and our
place in the world depends on every
body going to work and pursuing II
with that patriotism and devotion
which make for fortunate and happy
people"
The president declared that "the
open, sure, and onward way to rid the
nation of the wars aftermath of de
preston, involved "liquidation, reor
ganization, readjustment, re-establish
ment, taking account of things done
and sober contemplation of things to
be DONE" Any other way, he added
was only hugging delusion.
