to pillow it under Us a soiling crop. It
should be left at least four or five
years once a good stand is obtained.
Alfalfa works splendidly in a crop
rotation.
The County Extension Program
calls for the doubling of the alfalfa
acreage in this County this year.
With the cooperation of the farmers
this can easily be accomplished and
will be a great benefit to Hand Coun-
ty.
Sweet Glover
Sweet Glover has demonstrated its
value as a soil builder to the farmers
OF Illinois and Iowa. A few years ago
everything mean that could be said
about a plant was said about sweet
clover. NOW it is called blessed"
1t occupies the same relation to soil
building that the Ford does to auto
mobiles. 1t is the service plant of the
legumes. 1t may be seeded with GER
cal crops, pastured during late sum-
mer and fall until the following fall
wnen IL may be plowed under. The
large roots and succulent plants decay
rapidly returning valuable elements to
the soil.
Soy Beans
This crop is a new one for Hand
County and South Dakota. Four dem
onstratiOns in the County during 1921
proved that it can be very successfully
produced here. Soy beans contain
over 40 per cent protein. If the soil
is properly inoculated they will draw
nitrogen from the atmosphere and de-
post it in the roots.
From present indications the Soy
bean is destined to free South Dakota
farmers from the necessity of ship
ping in highly concentrated feeds from
the South or Central States. Soy
bean meal can be so combined with
native feeds as to make other protein
concentrates Unnecessary.
BY the utilization of the above le-
gumes Hand County farmers have it
largely in their power to prevent loss
of nitrogen. To begin now to build
up the soil will aid materially in more
economic production a few years
hence, when competition becomes
more keen.

Col. Ray, 1T has been found the
average service of the soldier in the
World War was 10 months and that
1900, 900 were enlisted. At the rate
of one dollar per day this would
amount to an average of $500 for each
veteran. In view of the fact many
would take other forms of COM
pensation it is estimated about $780,
600 900 (million) would cover the cash
bonus payments.
AT the present time the accumulat-
ed interest from the allied debt
amounts to nearly $75O,O00, 900. If
the government should decide to use
this form of payment the debt would
care for the amount to be expended"

MAIN ISSUES

Not political issues but REAL
FARM BUSINESS ISSUES that con-
Germ the future farming industry of
Hand County.
In another article on this page is
discussed the rapid depletion of nitro
gen from u soils. Only a few farm
ers are practising the return of hum
us to the land. These are not parti-
cularIy concerned with this article
only perhaps to say Amen"
20.5 per cen of the nitrogen/is al
ready gone FROM our oldest cultivated
farms. Not a great deal more can be
lost and the land be expected to pro-
duce crops at a profit. There is only
one salvation and that is to return
what has been-removed. IL cannot be
done by burning corn stalks, stubble
ground or straw stacks, and leaving
the manur in the barn lot. To do
these things frequently is expedient
but it is hard on the land.
A deliberate system of soil improve
ment should be planned for every
farm in Hand County. There are three
crops that can aid materially
in bringing the depleted soil some
where near its original productive
state. These are alfalfa, sweet clover
and soy beans.
Alfalfa
The best OF these Is alfalfa. II
needs no demonstration. Most every
one is aware of the usefulness of. this
plant, only many have not
gotten around to SOW n of it, or at
best, but a small patch of it. There
Is no better or more useful legume.
II is a splendid soil builder. Alfalfa
may be utilized for hay, pasture, or
left for seed. 1t is not good business

MANS DUTY TO HOME TOWN
Civic Obligations Are Not Always as
. Thoroughly Recognized as
They Ought to BE.

There is no country in the world In
which wealth so generally recognizes
its obligations to the public as In
America. Vast sums have been devOt-
ed to public use, to the great benefit
Of the public. But municipalities have
not figured largely as beneticiaries,
though they have to some extent. In
dianapolis has by no means been for
gotten. And 1t surely ought to be
q pleasure for any person with the
right feeling toward the city or town
IN which he has. lived to do something
with his money to make life In It
happier and pleasanter. The obliga-
ton Of a man to his town is like that
which he owes to his church or his
university, and 1t should be as gladly
performed. This feeling is becoming
more widely prevalent in indianapolis,
and II viii bring results In which all
will rejoice. Civic life can be made
better. and a proper civic pride deveI-
Oped In this way that will be worth
much. Indianapolis News.

SHOWED RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT
Interesting story Of How Youngsters
Brought About the Regeneration
of Their Village.

Twelve boys who started out In
semi-playful mood under the name Of
"Dirty Dozen" finally were led on I'M
til they had cleaned up whole COM
munity Of 1900 people physically and
morally At last their name was
changed to ''Diligent Dozen"
There was a quiet little mother of
one of the twelve hidden behind the
scenes, who never appeared publicly
to be connected with the affair, but
at whose house there was mysteri-
GUS generator of brilliant ideas for
such boys. The twelve "D's" met
both Friday evening and Sunday af-
ternoon for conference, writes William
A. McKeever in the Chicago American.
The town cleanup of the boys was
worked In accordance with the rules
of what we call good psychology"
They met with the proprietors of the
main business section, two blocks In
length, and agreed to clean up the
streets In front Of them and keep them
clean for a year, provided these men
would do likewise with their store
fronts and interiors. The general
transformation began with rush.
Saturday morning early the dozen
were there with sweepers, shovels and
wheelbarrows, and by noon the street
looked strangely new.
The week following soap, water,
paint and putty were brought freely
into use on the old store buildings.
Old tobacco tags, circus bills and no
Hces of painkillers were raked down
and burned. About one-third of the
display windows-under the influence
of this revival" were torn out and re-
placed with plate glass fronts. Many
interior improvements followed.
The school buildings and church
structures were next attacked by the
IDS" The school officials were re-
Quested to clean and repair the build
ings, and the teacher gave half-holi-
day so that pupils might thus review
the school yards. The dozen them
selves took care Of the vacant lots on
which the church buildings stood.

R. R. Man Lived
On Cereals and
Eggs For Years
"Tanlac Made A New Man OF
Me And ] Can Now Eat Any
thing On The Table," Declares
Jos. Morris.

Jos. H. Morris, for many years
assistant yard master for the
Texas and New Orleans railroad,
who lives at 1916 Providence St.,
Houston, Tex, is another we'll
known railroad man who is now
an ardent champion of Tanlac.
He says:
Il am feeling just fine now
and l understand why so many
people praise Tanlac and | want
my name to go down with the
rest who indorse it. For two
years had to live on cereals
and eggs on account of the
wretched condition my stomach
was in. felt tired and languid,
too, all the time and was losing
weight and strength right along.
"Tanlac has just made a
different man out of me, my
stomach is in tip-top shape and
feel stronger and have more
energy than in a long time.
Tanlac certainly does the work. .
Tanlac is sold in OkoIona by
w. E. Bearden, and by leading
druggists everywhere.
