"Hubam' is a name applied to Il
clover over which the beekeepers of
the Middle West are going wild. 1t
was discovered in an Iowa green
house, in 1916, by Prof. H. d. Hughes.
1t originated in Alabama, and its
name Is made up of letters extracted
from the name of that state and the
name of its discoverer who has Civ
on it to the world without price.
am convinced that many of the
plants must have pistillate blossoms,
because of It's not setting seeds with
the few plants | grew in 1920. | first
became acquainted with it in June of
that year and planted few seeds the
latter part of the month. The way
the bees worked on it convinced me
that it must be a great honey plant
My experiments the next year fully
justified my conviction. | now believe
it the most valuable honey plant on
earth.
II permits a continuous season Of
honey flow from the beginning with
white clover in June until the heavy
frosts of autumn. No lime or inocul-
alton is needed, nor is it necessary
to have the soil very sweet. If drill
ed in rows three feet apart, from two
to three pounds of hulled and sCarfied
seed will be sufficient to cover an
acre. If the seed is broadcasted,
from seven to ten pounds will be
needed, or twice that amount of hull
ed seed.
It Is the most drouth-ressting plant
have ever seen. The bees seem
to prefer 1t to all other blooming
plants Bees can make from it in
one season two tons of the finest hon
ey from single acre of Hubam, If
under good cultivation. The plant
grows from six TO nine feet high on
one season and continues in blossom
two months.
1t will produce from seed in one
season more than three times as much
fodder as any other clover. 1t Is the
best crop to grow for green manuring.
Taking ii all in all. it is. in my opin-
ion the most beneficial recent discov-
cry for the farmer, and one who does
not grasp the opportunity will soon
find himself far back in the line of
progress.

President is II. J. Goodrich PittsfeM
Wesley H. Bronson of the Research
Department will be present to explain
the workings of the New England wide
marketing plan and lis relation to the

citation This is highly important
meeting and it is the business OF every
dairy farmer to be present and get
the first hand information about the
plan which it is expected will in II
few years, give the dairy farmers of
New England complete control of
their business.
The report OF the Special Committee
on the marketing plan differed mater
tally from what was generally expect
ed. but met with complete satisfac-
ton on the part of the district presi-
dents. The plan which was recon-
mended was the bringing together Of
the existing cooperative agencies Tor
handling milk as the first step in the
consolidation of the producers inter
ests throughout New England. Farm
ers who now sell through co-opera-
tive organizations are competing with
one another in the market. II they
can be brought together they will
form the largest single dealer in milk
in New England and the disastrous eff
fects of competition among themselves
will be eliminated. The committee
recommends this simply as a first step
and it is the general expectation that
this combined cooperation will be so

TRI.C0UNTY TRACK AND
FIELD MEET CANCELLED

The Tri-County track and field
meet, scheduled to be held here at
the fair grounds this afternoon, was
called off at late hour yesterday be-
cause Of the failure Of the other
schools in the district to send con-
testants.
Attempts were then made to get a
nun, ber from the Blackjack school,
also the Walker school, but there was
"nothing DOING" Coach Smith re-
ports. Cass Lake could have sent Il
few contestants, but it was felt that
this would not make very INHERENT
ing meet with only two schools par
ticipating. The Bemidji entrants had
looked forward to this meet with
much interest, and it was not due to
any lack of interest or material on the
part of this school that the event
was called off.
