Sweet Glover Is an important for
age crop in the North Central states,
1t is being cultivated in practi-
cally every state in the Union, and
the acreage is being increased rapid
1y.
The White species comprises a
very large percentage of the present
acreage of sweet clover.
It is relished by cattle, sheep and
hogs, and they do exceptionally well
Oh it.
There is little danger of bloating
cattle or sheep on it as is true OF the
other clover and alfalfa.
1t provides the earliest pasture in
spring, the latest in fall, and an
abundance of feed throughout the
summer.
Winter-killing is practically UNI
known.
Sweet clover is adapted to a wider
rang of climatic conditions than any

used for hay, the same process should
be followed. Each crop should be
cut before the plants become woody
or much of the ~palatability will be
lost.
Hay and Seed
If a crop of seed is desired, the
second crop should be allowed to
ripen. Sometimes the first crop is
allowed to go to seed, but as a rule
the seed crop will be more uniform
and easier to handle if the first grow
tn is cut for hay. The seed crop is
in condition to be harvested when
about two thirds of the seed pods
are brown.
Green Manure
The heavy growth of sweet clover
and it's properties as a soil builder
make it an invaluable crop to turn
under for green manure. The best
time to turn it under is after the
plants have made a certain amount
of growth the second spring. The
field may then be planted to almost
any late crop. Where summer fall
lowing is practiced, is is doubly eff
fective when sweet clover is seeded
the year before, thus providing a
heavy crop of green manure to be
turned under.
Eradication
Some farmers hesitate to plant
sweet clover on their farms for fear
they will have difficulty in eradicat-
ing it when the fields are planted to
other crops. The results obtained
annually by hundreds of farmers
are sufficient proof that there is no
foundation for such fear. One pre-
caution that is necessary to take is
to have the pillow lays sharp and to
turn the growth under well when
blowing the crop under in the spring.
If this is done there will be no diff
with the sweet clover showing
up in the subsequent crop.

ALLEN TO RETURN
TO HORROR SCENE
Relief and Mission Field Hero
Wants to Rebuild Wreck
After MOsIem Raids.

In the hope of restoring his old mis-
sion buildings and resuming his form
er work, from which he was forced to
flee over the bodies of his murdered
friends at the height of the Moham-
medans' orgy of massacre, pillage and
burning, DR.. E. T. Allen, professor OF
Biblical history at Whitman College,
Walla Walla, may endeavor to return
to the Near East during the coming
summer. For the last four years or
so he has been aiding as a speaker in
the constructive program of the Near
East Relief.
DR.. Allen, one of the foremost Amer
ican authorities and speakers on the
Near East situation, and as such,
much sought after and widely known
throughout the Northwest, was, with
his wife, for 10 years a foremost
figure in the Presbyterian missionary
field of Persia.
During the last several months of
his stay in that country, he was al
mostly daily face to face with death,
ono being rescued after the Turks
had built a gallows upon which to
hang him.
AS the pioneer representative of
Near East Relief in that district, he
chung to his task of sheltering and
protecting Christians fleeing before
the hordes of Islam; reviving the
starving and dying, saving the wound
ed from fields of battle and massacre,
and %rescuing Christian women and
girls from the lustful clutches of the
Moslems, until finally deported with
80, 900 others. Less than half these
people survived the forced marches
through hundreds Of miles of desert
heat, practically without food and
with little water.
His old mission buildings we're sys-
tematically looted and wrecked, and
he and Mrs. Allen, now residing with
him at Walla Walla, lost nearly all
their possessions and priced personal
along with them. All forces
and factions in the Near East, the

One Of the outstanding evidences Of
progress in apartment house design is
the RELOCATION to the rear of all fire es-
capes. those ugly dishguring features
which have done more than anything
else to ruin the appearance OF New York
streets. The design of the buildings Is
a modified French chateau style, SIM
plified to meet the requirements Of the
American apartment house. One Of the
novelties which Mr.. Thomas feels will
add much to the architectural character
of the group Is the use Of a special vari-
colored brick which Is somewhat longer
than the usual brick. The roofs are of
an English slate of q warm, light color,
which should blend admirably with the
brick.
Other attractive details are the towers,
the dormers, the picturesque FINALS, the
accents of the balconies, the long French
easement windows In certain parts of
the group and the shadows of the arcade
and the center group.

but surely during the last ten years
During the last year work was actually
started by the city Of New York OH the
construction Of several large piers. The
comprehensive plan for the development
Of this waterfront includes q wide chan
mel skirting the entire bay, with several
basins extending into the Queens Bor-
ough shore. The completion of this vast
Improvement. which will cost many
millions of dollars, and which has al
ways had the backing Of the Queenshoro
Chamber Of Commerce. will open for
Industrial, commercial and residential
development an area In the southern Sec
tion of Queens equal to that Of the entire
Borough Of Richmond.
Murray Hubert, former Commissioner
OF Docks, had, during the year 1921, pre-
pared plans for two important improve
ough. The first OF these is the improve
ment Of the shore front along Flushing
Bay, the second being the construction
of freight terminal on the East River
at the foot of Mott avenue. Long Island
City. both of which have been urged by
the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce.
In the first Improvement Of the shore
front of Flushing Bay. for which he has
secured the approval Of the Sinking
Fund Commission, the plans compre-
bend not only new thirty foot deep
channel along the WESTERLY shore OF the
bay but the construction of twenty-four
piers, ranging from 1900 10 1900 feet
in length and from 400 TO 900 feet in
width, with railroad connections capable

Eleven years ago, when the Queens
boro Chamber of Commerce was organ
ICED, very little was heard Of the nat
ural advantages which that borough
had in its great waterfront on the East
River, Newtown Creek, Flushing Bay,
Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean,
just as small attention had previously
been given to the enormous area of the
borough and its possibilities for housing
the congested population Of the more
highly developed boroughs Of the city.
Few people realize that Of the total
natural shore line! In the port Of New
oughs of New York city and the Jersey
waterfront, that 1868 miles. or % per

the improvements of this waterfront in
Queens amount to nearly forty miles,
measured around piers and along the
heads Of slips, as compared with 103
miles Of improvements in Brooklyn and
"a miles In Manhattan.

all these improvements during the last
ten years has exceeded q quarter of
