SWEET CLOVER PROFITABLE
LEGUME CROP IN DAKOTA

Biennial sweet clover is one of the
finest legume crops for South Dakota,
because it fits well into nearly any
rotation and adapts itself nicely to
either a green manure or q seed crop,
advises DIR. Arthur T. Evans of the
agronomy department at South De-
kota college.
Sweet clover makes good hay when
cut young and it is also valuable as a
restorer of nitrogen. 1t is profitable
when considered only as seed and
hay crop. On AZ acres grown on
regular rotation in 1922, the South
Dakota experiment station harvested
], 1886 pounds of hulled, cleaned, scar
flied seed, which sold at z cents per
pound, making return Of $35 an acre
on the seed alone DR.. Evans makes
these suggestions in regard to sweet
clover planting:
Seeding-It can be readily seeded
with any small grain; the rate of
seeding should be from 6 to II pounds
per acre, the best rate being about
10 pounds. A drill attachment may
be used, and ordinarily the seed is
mixed directly with the nurse crop
seed. In western South Dakota broad
casting seed has been successful.
Hay-Good pasture is furnished
after the grain is removed in moist
years; the first crop will be ready TO
harvest the second year about the
middle of June and it should be cut
high. The yield varies from one-half
to two and one-half tons, and it may
be allowed to lie on the ground until
needed as it settles among the stubs
and does not interfere with the last
cutting. When needed for hay, cure
and stack as alfalfa.

TYPE OF BARN
WITHsTANDs HEAVY WINDS

A standard farm barr fra,y whiels
withstands winds Of we'll over 81 miles
per hour velocity has been designed
by r. l.. Patty, engineer and farm
building architect of the State college
extension service. -.
"It is not paying practice to save
a few dollars in building barns by
leaving out braces or using type Of
frame that has never been tested.
Many barns in this state have been
badly damaged or destroyed because
they have not been of standard con-
struction," says Mr.. Patty.
The new plan includes the gothic
roof, which is still being tested by the
American Society of Agriculture, and
the gambrel roof in two types Of con-
struction, the "wing" and SHAW
yer. The two sheets in this plan
may be obtained upon application to
the college extension service for ten
cents in stamps, to cover cost Of blue
prints.

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T
A bunch of American financiers an,

A bunch of American financiers are
advocating making Germany an cnor-
nous loan. We have no objection to
such loan, provided the said finan-
ciers hand over their own money.
But that they will never do. They
will sell these bonds to the American
people, pocket their millions in COM
missions, and then invest those COM
missions in sound American securi-
ties. The American people have been
MIXED before in the same manner.
and the big financiers think they can
milk us again and get away with it.
Look up the low price of foreign
bonds at the present moment, remem-
Der the billions that Europe already
owes us and can not pay, and hang
on to your money. If Wall street
becomes convinced that it must lend
its own money to Germany on very
doubtful security, then Wall street
will never make the loan-not single
dollar. These financiers are not the
fools and suckers they have sized the
public up to be.

least. These firms make every sale
through the use of printer s ink, and
1t behooves the local merchant to use
the same weapon if he would survive.
Every bit of this business legitimately
belongs to the local communities, but
the persuasive power Of printers ink
has caused these marked increases n
sales of these two great mail order
establishments. The local merchant
can, III most instances, meet this COM
petition of the large mail order houses
with both price and quality, and he
must let the people know that he is
ready to do SO. The people must be
educated to consult the local merchant
first when they are in the market for
merchandise, and the merchant must
use printers ink literally in order to
carry on this campaign of education,
If he refuses to do so he is merely
neglecting his own business opportuni-
ties, and he has no just cause to blame
other people for sending their money
to these concerns. On the other hand,

merchant an opportunity to supply
