that one should set out plants in the winter, whereas I always plant the seed in spring. Is there more than one kind? :? Miss P, Elkmont, Ala.
 A. There is more than one variety of alyssum your magazine evidently referred to the perennial type known as saxatile alyssum which has yell low flower.
 o. expect to SOW alfalfa the past fall but dry weather prevented me. We now. have rain and I write to know if the seed should be sown now or had better wait until spring? w., Demopolis, Ala.
 A. I think it permissible to SOW alfalfa any time from December until the first of Aril, the earlier the better. The main thing is to get the ground in good condition
 O. The oats 1 sowed in the first part of November are only about third of a stand. due to dry weather, and l would like to know if it would be per missible to SOW now oats or something else on top of the oats and harrow in without injury to the standing crop? B. w.. Leeds, Ala.
 A. II WOULD De dlI TELL to oO" iiiOi N oats right on top of those remaining or you could SOW any grass, such as red top, orchard or such clovers as alsike or red. Such planting might be narrowed in without injury to the standing crop.
 Q. There is a blue flower or shrub that is planted this month, l don know the name of it but l have often seen it in California. Would this help tell what it is? Mrs. I.
 A. I don't know but I believe your letter indicates anchusa or alkanet.
 ?. Will blue stem wheat sown now afford quick grazing for poultry and some young calves? G. O., Fayette, Ala.
 A. There is perhaps nothing that would suit the purpose better. The plant is very resistant to cold and will produce under conditions that no other winter grain will.
 Q. ] have formula sent me by the government, for permanent grass mix ture to be used for a pasture but l notice the mixture contains Bermuda grass and I am at loss to know how l can use the Bermuda, can 1 get the seed or will I have to cut up rots to plant? w. I. B., Odenville, Ala.

 Over France
(By Associated Press ]

PARIS, Dec 14.-The shadow of coming ministerial crisis has been thrown across the political pathway by Premier Herriots illness. Although the carefully worded official buleltin regard ing the premicr's condition today says the physicians expect the premier to be up in ten days. it refrainS from Sug- gesting that he probably will he able to resume work then. His absence for period of convalesence. it is generally admitted is impossible owing to the many difficult prohemes now before the government.
 How severe the pain has been dur ing NJ Harriots illness is indicated in todays staten ent. which says that flor the first time in five days the premier has heen able to sleep some hours"
 The severe pain and the stiffness of !he calf of one of his legs caused the physicians to call in surgeon, profes- sor Lecena. The surgeon decided that no operation was advisable.
 The names cf former Prcmiers Pain 1cve and Briand are being mentioned as possible successors of M. Herriot in case the physicians of the premier insist that he take q long rest. and the question is being asked how long either Painleve or Bri1nd would be able to keep tue diverse clements form ing the government ma jority together.

PAPAL BULL READ
 ON HOLY YEAR
Pope In Short Address Gives
 Authorization
(By Associated Press.

ROME, Dec. 14.-The papal bull an nouncing the approach of "holy year" was read for the second time today.
 Monsignor Mannucci, auditor of the Holy Rota tribunal. was admitted into the presence of the pope. With him was Monsignor Prince Boncampasni Ludo- vici. vice chamber of the church, and prelates composing the college of clerics of the apostlic chamber. Monsignor Mannucci knelt before the pontiff and asked his permission to read again in Italian and Latin the bull proclaiming holy year.
 Pope Plus replied in short ad- dress in which he said he gave the authorization. This he did all the more willingly as today was the Sunday, known as "Gaudete" (the third Sun day in adyent) when the church in- vited the faithful to rejoice because they were near their lord. This year, Pope Plus said, the faithful were doubly near because the Christmas fes- tivity would coincide with the an nouncement of year of redemption and forgiveness, which might not be gained entirely if accompanied by penitence and the expiation of sins

Special Train To Carry Squad And Rooters To
 California

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-Plans have been completed for the trip across the continent of the University of ,Pennsylvania football team, which meets the University of California on New Years Day at Berkley, in the Memorial bowl there.
 The team and its followers will leave this city the day after Christmas, ana will hold three practices en route. A thirteen-hour layover in Chicago will enable Coach Young and his aides to give the team thorough drill either at the municipal stadium or on the pridiron of the University of Chicago, provided the weather is propitious.
 In the event that bad weather would interfere with them, indoor practice arrangements have been made at Chl- cago. Omaha and Ogden for use of armories.
 34 Men Make Trip
 The entire varsity squad, comprising 34 men, will be taken on the trip. This is the largest number that has ever crossed the continent for foot ball contest. In 1916, when Pennsyl- yania met Oregon to lose 14 to 0. 24 gridiron performers were in the party.
 In addition to the players, the fol- lowing coaches will make the trip; Louis A. Young, head coach; Bert Bell, backfield coach; Lud Wray, line men tor: Brodie Stephens, who looks after the ends; Lawson Robertson, trainer of the team and head coach of the 1924 Olympic team: Dr. Arthur Light, team physician; Poss Miller, scrub coach, and Dr. John l., Keogh, freshman coach.
 At least 30 graduates will form the home cheering section, which will be strengthened by several hundred of the alumni from the far west.
 Special Train
 A special train will convey the hun dred or more who will be in the party. A section of the baggage car has been rigged up with shower baths in order that the players can have all the con- yeniences possible en route.
 A training table diet, such as the players partake of during the regular season, will be served from the time the squad entrains until it detrains at Berkley.

SAVANNAH HARBOR
WILL GET $325OOo

WASHINGTON, March 20 The
Savannah harbor will receive $325,000
for Improvement and $5O0,0O0 for
maintenance during the next fiscal
year, beginning July l, if the lump
sum recommendation of $45,000,00O
by the army engineers is approved
by congress.
Senator w. J. Harris, a member of
the Senate appropriations subcommit-
tee to decide the amount, is supporting
these figures to give Savannah the
sum requested by the engineers.
The house appropriations committee
has recommended $37,OO0,OO0 which
is $8,000,000 under the army estimates
and it is likely the house will accept
the reduction. The Senate is expected
to restore the amount, as they have
in the past.
If the army figures are sustained
Brunswick harbor will get $4,000 for
Improvement and $4,000 for mainte-
nance. Considerable cuts will be made
If the present house figures prevail.

ANOTHER YEAR OF SAFETY
RECORDED BY THE SOUTHERN

Atlanta, Ga, March 26.-Of 49,
3lO0l3 passengers who rode on the
Southern Railway System trains dur
ing 1923, not one was killed in a train
accident or as the result of any fall
ure or negligence on the part of the
railway, this duplicating the record
of 1922, says a statement issued by
the Safety Department of the Southern.
Passengers handled in 1923 showed
an increase of GAL ,408 over 1922 and
the average distance travelled by each
passenger increased from 62.17 miles
in 1922 to 68.5 miles in 1928 when a
total of l77,712 passenger trains were
operated as against 1904 during the
previous year.
despite the precautions taken to
insure the safety of passengers, the
statement says, "two fell from NOV
ing trains and were killed, having paid
with their lives for their violation of
the safety rules established for their
protection"
