prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
A large part of the value of crimson
clover lies in the ability which it shares
With other clOvers to utilize the nitro
gen of the air and add it to the soil,
say specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. When en-
couraged to do this, crimson clover Is
valuable soil improver. If 1t is plant
ed on rich land it will utilize the nitro
gen already present in the soil and is
not stimulated to contribute anything
to its own support or to the support of
other crops.
Crimson clover is winter plant of
the true clover group. 1t is also known
as scarlet clover, French clover, Italian
clover and German clover. 1t Is the
only annual true clover that is of more
than incidental agricultural importance
in the eastern United States. 1t owes
its place in the crop rotation of the
Atlantic coastal plain to the fact that
1t can be planted when the land is not
occupied by ordinary summer crops.
The many ways by which this crop
may be utilized are discussed by plant
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in Farmers

Its growth is comparable to that of
winter wheat. Planted in the fall, it
lies more or less dormant throughout
the winter and completes its growth

too hot 1t can sometimes be planted in
the spring and grown as summer
crop, but for this purpose other clovers
are usually preferred. Corn in the

reputation Of crimson clover as a crop

Seeding Crop Of Glover.
Crimson clover may be seeded in
practically any of the cultivated truck
crops, which receive their last cultiva-
tion from eight to twelve weeks before
the first frost. 1t Is not wise to seed
clover in late potatoes, sweet potatoes
or other root crops, as the digging In
the fall practically destroys the clover.
Neither does 1t do well when sown into
cowpeas, sorghum or watermelons, ow-
ing to the heavy shade cast by those
crops. The most common cause of
failure to obtain stand of crimson
clover is a period of hot, dry weather
occurring after planting.

BUYS IN SWEET SHOP
Arne Sorlein, Well Known Ball
Player, Enters Business Circles

1t will be good news to the many
friends of Arne Sorlein, the vel
known ball player, to know that he
is going to become identified with
the business interests of DEBORAH
having purchased half interest in
the Sweet Shop from A. Laudei, who
has conducted it for several years
past.
The Sweet Shop is one of the very
popular and well known ice cream
and candy parlors of the city, and
has always enjoyed fine business
under the able management of Mr.
and Mrs. Laudel.
Mr.. Sorlein win finish his college
course at Luther College this year
graduating next June, and will not
take over much active work at the
Sweet Shop until then.
The fact of Mr.. Sorlein remaining
in DEBORAH will be of much interest
to our baseball fans, as he is one of
the premier pitchers of the state,
and the prospects are now that De
corah is going to have another fast
ball team here this year. His partner,
Mr.. Laudel is a we'll known ex-
league player, and between the two
they should be able to give out some
real base ball dope.
Many friends will congratulate the
new firm and wish them much sue

President, BEN BEAR co.
No one denies the fact that the peo-
pie of the United States have been
going at lively clip for some time.
This has been especially the case in
the larger cities. Everything went
sky high during and after the war,
so much so, that people became ac-
customed to it, and many thought
this condition would keep on for
ever. The change came, however, and
it came quicker than most people
realized. Almost over night lower
prices came and it affected the far
mer, the cotton and wool grower,
the livestock industry, the fruit
grower,--in fact everything raised
on the farmland also affected the
manufacturer, the wholesaler, and re-
tailers. There is just one thing to
do to cope with this condition.
meet the mix-up squarely. And
speaking from the standpoint of a
retail merchant, it is up to US to re-
duce our merchandise in the same
roportion as the farm produce has
been reduced. That would equalize
things, and if that is done cts a
square deal to ALL" 1t will induce the
consumer to buy. 1t will help stimu-
late trade. 1t will start the wheels
of industry going, and very soon
everything will be pretty close to
normal. 1t will create a better feel
ing all around, 1t will give a better
understanding between the buyer
and seller, and will do away to a
large extent with the discomfort
which seems to have taken hold of
the country. The thing to do for the
manufacturer in all lines is to pro-
duce merchandise of quality, and sell
his product with the closest margin
of profit, so the retailer can offer
his goods at lower price. would
go as far as to say, to bring about
normal conditions, the retailer should
sell his goods, at cost, because the
