The Farmers Wife

"Why I Am Glad That Married a
Farmer" was the strange subject dis
cussed by Mrs. C. w. Sewell, an Indi-
ana woman, at the farm and home
week gathering recently at the Kansas
state agricultural college. Strange ?
To be sure. Why should any woman
be glad that she had married a far
-mer? Mrs. Sewell supplied five rea-
sons, which, briefly, are as follows:
FIRST: The farmer seldom is in need
or lacks the necessities of life; second
he and his wife do not often appear
IN the divorce court; third-when he
goes to town he usually takes the chill
dren with him and he has no time. if
ne had the money, to pursue an af-
finity; fourth-the wife is never in
doubt as to where he spends his even
1ngs; fifth-the farmer and his family
generally are the closest of business
partners. 1t is Mrs. Sewell's opinion
that the farmers wife has wonderful
career "worthy of the attachments of
the most educated, cultured and re-
fined woman of the land" 1t is quite
evident that Mrs. Sewell likes her Job.
1t is gratifying, when so much has
been said on the other side of the oues-
ton, to have her reassuring report.

Farmers Should Plant Alfalfa.

For many years it has been a popu-
lar opinion among farmers and others
that alfalfa could not be grown sue
cessfully on sand soil. This belief is
totally unfounded and much evidence
has been produced recently to r~~
that alfalfa is one of the most profita-
BILE crops that can be grown on sand
land. On good land alfalfa will yield
from three to five tons per acre. 1t
is almost equal in food value to grain
or, in other words, the value of the hay
for feeding is superior to that of any
other hay crop known. Alfalfa hay
on the farm makes it possible to in
crease the number of livestock kept
and will enable the farmer to furnis'
a more nearly balanced ration to his
dairy cows in the cheapest form.
Crops Of corn and all other grains
are greatly increased in yield per acre
when planted on land which has pre-

Marketing Committee Urges Perma.
nent Organization to Make Cash
Advances on Clips.
I st. Paul, March Minnesota wool
men should market their 1922 clip
through state pool to get the best
prices, in the opinion of committeeman
who met here at the call of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau federation to
work out plans for state wool grow
ers association. The committee was
organized following conference of
wool producers early this month.
County wool growers associations
should select the agency which they
desire to market their wool, THE COM
mittee declared in formal recommen-
dations, to be presented to the execu-
tive board Of the federation here on
March 20. The recommendations urge
the organization Of county wool pro-
ducers associations in all wool pro-
ducing counties, and the strengthen
ing of all existing county wool as
sociations.
Any selling agency selected to mar
ket Minnesota wool, the committee
recommended, must be required to
provide bonded warehouses, operate
on a cooperative commission basis.
arrange for substantial cash advances
on wool as soon as it enters the pool.
and furnish the individual grower
complete information as to grade.
quantity, and condition as soon as his
wool is graded, and then keep him in
touch with the activities of the pool.
Organization of a permanent state
wide wool growers association in the
fall of 1922, and eventual establish
ment of one big national pool also was
recommended.

|viously grown alfalfa. Alfalfa j.
particularly valuable on sandy land
It has proven it's ability in Sherburne
county to withstand the most severe
draughts and adverse weather condi.
tions. It makes larger yields of hay
per acre than any other perennial OF
biennial hay crop. Un sandy soil an
application of lime is in most cases
essential for the best results.
Ground limestone should be ap.
piled at the rate of from one to two
tons per acre, depending on the degree
of acidity Of the soil. It can be Sc
cured at $2.10 per ton f. o. b. Mime
!apolis. Grimm alfalfa seed can be
purchased from 38 to so cents pei
pound, which should be sown at the
rate of from 10 to Is pounds per acre,
depending on the character of the soil.
This seed should be inoculated and
scarifed Alfalfa seed that is not in
oculated will generally do very poorly
on acid soils.
Complete directions for securing
stands of alfalfa are given in the
agricultural extension bulletin No. 40,
entitled, "Alfalfa Growing in Mime
sota" For further information farm
ers should consult their county agent
or a farmer who has successfully
grown alfalfa.

Put Liability on CITY.

In the Botanical gardens, Glasgow,
belonging to the city, was bed of
specimen plants, including some bella.
donna. Children ate some of the
bright purple berries of this, became
III, and one Of them died. The father
sued the city for damages on the
ground that the death of his son was
due to it's fault.
The judge dismissed the suit, but
this judgment was reversed on an.
peal. A further appeal was taken to
the house of lords, which has just de-
cided against the city. It holds that
as the children were entitled to 20
where the shrub grew, that no warn
ing was given to parents or guardians.
and that the city authorities knew Of
the danger of the pretty but deadly
berries, their presence might be con-
s1dered trap for the very young, and
therefore the city was fully liable.

New Method of Testing Corn

All corn growers should be vitality
interested in a new method Of testing
corn for termination. By the new
method, say farm crops men Of the
University of Minnesota, corn can be
tested for termination just as rapidly
as by ordinary ragdoll test, and, in
addition, all ears affected by disease
can be detected and discarded along
with the ones that are weak or dead.
The method is simple and is fully ex-
planned and illustrated in Farmers

BIG SUM SAVED IN
RAIL RATE CASE
Farm Bureau and Creameries' Agency
Win Fight to Block Freight
Increase.
SAVES THIS COUNTY $5,51s
Forcing Small Shippers to Pay Re-
frigeratiOn Charges Would Cost
Creameries $204,OOO.

st. Paul, Marcn Zo.-frO1npC &C.
ton by two farm organizations has
saved the farmers of Mile Laos coun.
ty $5,518, by forestalling an increase
in freight rates on dairy products
Railroads serving this territory pro.
posed to make shippers of perishable
products pay the cost of icing, when
shipments were in less than carload
lots, according to information from
the state farm bureau offices. It is
estimated that this extra expense
would have increased the cost of
marketing the county's dairy products
by approximately IL per cent.
This county produces 1925, 294
pounds of butter every year. 1t is es-
timated that 80 per cent Of the but
ter produced in Minnesota is market
ed on the big terminal markets of the
east, and that the average freight
rate is 2k cents pound on less than
CARROTS. On this basis, the freight
bill paid by this county on butter
every year amounts to $55, 1873. An in
crease of IL per cent on less-than-
carlot shipments would have added
'$5,518 to this amount. In the case
of the eight cooperative creameries
in the county, it would have meant a
direct reduction in net income and a
direct loss to their patrons.
A hearing was held in Chicago be-
fore a committee of railroad execu-
tives early this month. Representa-
tives of two of the biggest farm
organizations in Minnesota were on
hand to defend the interests of the
dairy farmers. H. B. Nickerson,
president Of the Minnesota Co-opera-
tive Creameries association, Inc,
spoke on behalf of the 800 co-opera-
tive creameries which have organized
the new state marketing agency, and
E. B. Heaton, director of dairy mar
keting, and O. w. Sandberg, traffic
expert, of the American Farm Bureau
federation, represented the farm bu-
reau. They bitterly opposed any in
crease in transportation costs, de-
'claring that an increase now is alb
solutely unjust and unwarranted.
Throwing the cost of refrigeration
charges on the shippers, they said,
would force the cooperative cream
cries of Minnesota to pay $2O4,OOO a
year more to ship their butter to
market.
The practical value of farm orga-
nizations was demonstrated this week,
when the Minnesota Farm Bureau
federation received telegram from
its national organization, stating that
the railroads committee had decided
to abandon the proposed increase, at
least for the present.
even if this proposed increase is
revived and put into effect in 1923,
the fact that it has been blocked at the
present time means 100000 to Minne-
sofa dairy farmers this year," A. J.
Mcclure, manager of the creameries
association said. F'That one case
saved more money for the farmers of
the state than the total cost of operat-
ing both the creameries association
and the farm bureau the entire year."

WILL LINK HYATTSVILLE
TO WASHINGTON HIGHWAY
Maryland to Build Two Miles of

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. July 11.-ResidentS
of Hyattsville are enehged in a cam
paign to secure the reconstruction of
part of the old Queens Chapel road
to complete the gap in the road be-
tween Washington and Hyattsville.
Delegates appearing before the state
road commission have argued that 1T
will make shorter route between
Baltimore and Washington. and that
motorists of both cities are much
interested in the matter.
John N. Mackall, chairman Of the
commission, said that he had not
heard of single motorist being in
terested in the matter. and that the
road would not be a shorter or more
direct route than that now in use.
However. we intend to build the
road" he said. mot as an addition
to the Washington boulevard, but as
lateral road that will enable resi-
dents of that section of Prince
Georges and of Montgomery coun-
ties to reach the boulevard without
going through the district Of Colum-
bia. We will build two miles of road
part in Montgomery and part in
Prince Georges.
I'VE will build the upper part first.
because that section is in the worst
condition and is impossible in win
ter, while the section for which the
Hyattsville residents are asking Is
gravel road and is usable winter
and summer.
