White Sweet Glover has been Of
ten spoken Of a plant which will
grow on pure white sand. Our OBJ
servations and the experience of To-
cal people do not prove the statement
tue. In order to have successful
sweet clover one should give it every
chance, lime incubation and not
plant it with any crop which will
rob it of food or water the first few
months of its existance. Some have
said look out for mixing with clover
seed. / answer it with the question
"why plant rye?".
Below is the wo-k of Ohio Expert
Station, report on annual sweet clo-
yer:
An acre of this new legume at the
Ohio Experiment station produced
5,379 lbs. of air-dried hay in 1873
days. The seed was sown in 30-in.
rows at the rate of 2h lbs. per acre
While this clover will give results
as a hay or forage crop, we still
think its chief value will lie in it's
ability to produce a large amount of
green manure in a short time. That
is what we must have here on the
Atlantic coast, with high-priced land
and shortage of manure. This an
nual clover will give us the equiva-
lent of eight tons of manure to the
acre and spread it for US, between
two cash crops in the rotation. The
Ohio Station people seek to perfect
a strain which will mature seed in
40 DAYS or little over. We are sure
that we had several plants last year
that did this trickl
Michigan has made equally good
with both annual sweet clover and
perennial sweet clover.
Last week we were told that the
expert station at East Lansing had
some annual sweet clover seed to
distribute to members Of the Mich
igan Crop Improvement Association,
at a dollar pound and also remarks
that as the seed is new they will buy
back all seed at an equal price as
they wish to give as many frmers an
opportunity TO get it as possible

Here's For the Year 1921

While many believe the dying
year is 4 good 10 be done with
because of the many perils our
Nation has been subjected to from,
within; because OF the game that
has been tossed between capital
and labor; because mems minds
have been at sea and there has
been little solid ground to stand
upon, others hated to see old
Father Time shake down his last
few grains.
In a general way, distraction is
less in the air today than it was
yesterday and while REIMBURSEMENT
is young, it is so strong in. it,
youth and gives such promise of
steady growth, that it is safe to
assume that old levels will be-
reached before the swaddlnr
clothes of 1921 are cast aside.
We hear much Of post-war-rc-
action towards nIateriallsm but
ideals have just as much vigor
and life-the one has just as much
chance as the other. for after all,
life is largely what we make it.
So les US determine that we will
try to measure up to our ideals;
that we will, with the new year,
give free rein to our instructive
feeling that better things are
'head-that the great festival Of
nope Is but the miie->t; lie cherished
'y us for an opportunity for sell.
,etterment, for menta' and spirit
'al growth; for a strong commun-
" spirit and a determination thai
III thru 1921 to give a long pull
nd a strong pull and pull alto
'ether, for a larger, better, clean
r, more progressive Nstchitochcs.

BRIEF Is FILED
in WESTERN UNION
CABLE CASE TODAY
Asserts Cable Owners Tried 10
Circumvent Government After
Right to Lay Cable Revoked

Washington, April 11.-Permit for
The operation and maintenance OF the
Western Union cable between Key
West. Fla, and Cojimar, Cuba, was
revoked by President Wilson after
reports that the Western Union would
use this line to connect the Barbadoes-
South American cable to American
shores, it was disclosed today, by a
government brief filed in the supreme
court.
When the navy department forci-
bly, prevented in August, 1920, the
landing of the Barbadoes-South Amer
lean cable at Miami, the brief said, the
Western Union Company undertook
to circumvent the government in an
indirect way" by splicing into the ca
bles already laid from Cojimar MAX
ing direct line by way of Coiimar
between Florida and Brazil.
Learning of this the president on
November 20, 1920, revoked the per-
land transmitted to the Western
three of the cables between these
points. This modified permit con-
tanned among other things a provision
that these lines should not be a link
in and would not have any connec-
tion with any foreign cable system en-
joying in Brazil or elsewhere rights
denied American cable companies
The Western Union refused to accept
this modified permit"
The case before the court is an
outgrowth of the long contest of the
Yestern Union over the landing of a
cable at Miami. 1t is in the form of
an appeal by the government from
lower court DEGREES refusing to en-
join the telegraph company from,
landing cable on the shores of Flor
ida without an official permit Tenn
porary restraining order against the
company has been issued pending the
prosecution of the appeal.
