In that second game Saturday, Wingfield bested Walter Stewart in a pitching duel, although he allowed seven hits to four by Walter A long wallop. following an error and hit batsman in the first inning accounted for Stewards downfall. while tight work in the pinches saved WinGfield another trouncing for the Lookouts.

Sells Pure Bred Cattle
to Oklahoma Scoffers

Illustrating the satisfaction and
prosperity that come with improved
live stock, Robert Ellis, an Oklahoma
dairyman, tells of his experiences with
scoffers when he began raising pure
breds. when / shipped in my first
pure bred heifer," he stated in re-
cent letter to the United States De
partment of Agriculture, "the old,
gray-headed men gathered around me
and asked me what | paid for her.

said l could not sell any cattle In the
county at that price. But am glad

Mr.. Ellis adds that he observed the
difference between scrubs and pure
breds by being unable to obtain more
than $40 for scrub while pure breds
ordinarily sold for $3.50 and up.

Garden Cities in Germany.

Garden cities and their promoters
have again become an interesting OBJ
ject Of discussion in Germany. The
German garden city movement was a
direct outcome of the English move
ment. started by Ebenezer Howard in
1899. The German Garden City asso-
citation was founded in 1902, with the
object of studying the English schemes
and Of introducing into Germany what
ever in the English plans seemed ap-
plicable to the different circumstances
in Germany.
During the first years of its exist
ence the young association met with
much criticism and even ridicule, and
the scarcity of its means forced it to
proceed very carefully. Its chief OBJ
ject from the outset was not to build
entirely new cities in country dis
tricts, as had been Towards original
plan, but to create garden suburbs for
the immediate relief of existing towns.
Other essential features were that the
increment in land values should be
spent for the benefit of the whole COM
munity, who would continue to own
the property, and that only a lease
hold interest should be given to the
co-partnership tenants.

Crimson Clover Seed
Of Inferior Quality
Samples Tested for Germin-
alton Were Very Low.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
An examination of the quality OF
crimson clover seed has recently been
made by the seed testing laborato
ries of the bureau of plant industry,
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Samples secured from repre-
sentative dealers were tested for
termination. AS this was done during
the month of June, seed of the 1923
crop was not available.
One-f1fth of the samples was found
to contain less than rs per cent of live
seed, and two-fifths of the samples
contained less than 65 per cent of pure
live crimson clover seed. In other
words, two-1fths of the samples OF
crimson clover seed offered farmers
during the month of June were of such
poor quality that they would not be
permitted entry into the United States
under the seed. importation act. The
proportion of high grade seed offered
in the market will be increased when
the 1923 crop seed is available, but
nevertheless the old seed of low vital
ity now being offered win be sold for
seeding purposes.
1t should be kept in mind, says the
department, that crimson clover seed
loses its vitality more rapidly than
most other seeds, and therefore it is
especially important to know in adj
vance of seeding how much of it may
be expected to grow under favorable
soil and weather conditions. If the
termination is not known before SOW
ing, many failures in the field are sure
to follow.

First Cutting Of Sweet
Clover as Buds Appear

If sweet clover is to be cut for hay
the second time, cut for seed or pas
tured after the first crop is removed,
the first cutting should be made just
before or as soon as the buds appea1
This is before any flowers are visible.
1t should be cut at height Of from
six to eight inches in order that suf-
ficient number of buds may be left on
the stems to grow and produce the
next crop. Cutting after the crop is
in bloom or lower than six to eight
inches usually results in very consid-
cradle killing of the plants, often prac-
tically all except those around the
edge of the field Trials are being
made of clipping back sweet clover at
various dates and heights to delay the
first crop until the usual hay cutting
time, which is usually the last week in
June or the first week in July. What
can be accomplished in this way is not
yet known-A. C. Army, Minnesota

Greatest Food Value of
Corn Found in Silage

Corn for fodder should be cut at the
same time as for silage and placed in
large round shocks well tied at the
top. Corn fodder is good reliable
dry feed, but is wasteful. Experiments
have abundantly shown that the most
economical way of preserving the
greatest food value of corn is to silc
it for live stock. Colorado expert
ments show that corn shocked ana dry
cured in the field loses all the way
from 25 per cent up TO So per cent Of
its value by blowing away and by
other losses, largely mechanical, due
entirely to climatic conditions.-Ex-

Obtain Maximum
Crop Of Potatoes
Reason for Small Average
Is Lack Of Attention
Given Seed.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
One of the reasons why the average
production of potatoes per acre in the
United States is lower than in Canada,
Great Britain and European countries
except Italy, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, is that less
attention has been given to the char
acter of the seed. Good seed is one
Of the determining factors in the pro-
duction of maximum crops OF pota-i
toes.
Improvement Practices.
Five methods of improvement prac-
tees which may be used in securing a
high-yielding and commercially desir-
able strain of potatoes are outlined
and discussed in new bulletin just
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, as Farmers Bull
letin 1882, Seed Potatoes and How to
Produce Them, by William Stuart.
They are the tuber-unit method, hill
section, mass selection, field roguing
and strain testing. For the average
grower mass selection" and field
roguing" are better methods as neither
involves the growing and keeping sep
arate of large number Of individual
selections. Both are so simple that
any person Of ordinary intelligence
can practice them.
Mass selection differs from hill Sc
lection in that the tubers from the in
dividually selected plants are not kept
separate. Generally those who prac-
tice mass selection do not go to the
trouble of marking promising indi-
vidual plants during the growing sea-
son, but simply go through the field
before harvesting the whole. crop and
dig by hand those plants which show
the desired vigor and stem characters
which are thought to be correlated
with productiveness, trueness to type,
and uniformity in size Of tubers of the
particular variety grown.
Field Rogulng Plan.
Field roguing consists of removing
the diseased, weak, off-type or varietal
mixture plants during the growing
season. The field from which the seed
is to be saved should be gone over in
this manner at least three times dur
ing the growing season, to insure the
removal of all plants affected with
transferable diseases, such as mosaic
and leaf-roll, as soon as their presence
can be detected. In the field-roguing
method no attempt is made to select
the progeny of individual plants at
harvesting time, the whole crop being
dug and all desirable seed stock gath
cred and stored in bulk.
The bulletin contains information
on cultural practices, harvesting and
storing, seed treatment and prepara-
ton and fertilization of the soil. A
copy of the bulletin may be obtained
free of charge as long as the supply
lasts, from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington.

Eggs or. nits are most commonly

Clover Crop Will Not
Thrive in Sour Pasture

Some pastures are sour and as the
result clover does not thrive in them.
Blue grass and other grasses may
yield fairly well on land that is some
what sour, but the ideal blue grass
pasture, in fact, the ideal pasture of
any kind, is one that contains at least
some clover The atmospheric miro
gen which the clovers and all legumes
are able to assimilate. adds just that
much fertility to the soil and then
serves as food for the grasses. This
is why a bluegrass pasture containing
clover always produces more feed than
one containing no clover.

Grasses Easier to Cure
Than Are Legume Hays

Grasses have hollow stems, are fine
in texture and have comparatively few
leaves and are consequently easier to
cure as rule, than are the legume
hays. Timothy cut as it is coming into
full bloom is much harder to cure
thap when cut with the seed in the
dough stage. The early cut hay must
remain longer in the swath or windrow
and in consequence runs greater risk
of injury by rain. For this reason
many hay growers prefer to wait until
the hay can be cut and hauled the
same day.

DECISION in DRY
LETTUCE HEARING
WITHIN 80 DAYS
Growers Say Acreage
Will Decrease If
They Lose

Decision rs to whether or not the
carriers will agree to the present
method of shipping "dry" lettuce
from Imperial Valley will be. given
within the next 80 days, according
to c. G. Jenkins, who attended the
meeting in Los Angeles between the
lettuce growers and shippers and
representative of the railroads and
the Pacific Fruit Express.
The contention of the railroads
was that the practice of shipping
lettuce with ice packed in the con
tainers and on top of the crates,
and not in the bunkers, is injurious
to the refrigerator ears which are
not built to withstand this method
Of refrigeration.
The lettuce men contend that this
method is much more efficient than
filling the bunkers with ice and
that if they were prohibited from
maxim "dry' shipments, it would
materially cut down the lettuce
acreage. The railroad representa-
tives were asked if they desired to
have the acreage cut down, and on
ly the Southern Pacific Company
answered in the negative, assuring
the lettuce men that it wished the
acreage to increase instead of de-
crease and would do everything
possible to encourage the lettuce
industry. The other railroads were
non -committal
About so lettuce men and 80
representatives of the carriers were
