Agricultural
News Notes
Sweet Clover


A large number of farmers are
making inquiry about sweet clover.
Is it adapted to Morgan county?
Is it a good crop to grow? How is
it Grown? 1t has been treated as a
roadside weed by many people, but
it has come inlo favor in Ohio until
it ranks second in a legume crop.
Sweet clover requires about the
average of soil conditions, with
about two EXCEPTIONS, Sweet clover
will thrive or almost any Morgan
county soil that has lime and inocu-
! lation. 1t can be seeded in the
spring or summer. If sown in the
1 spring, it should be sown with such
a nurse crop as oats. 1t can be
soWn along in midsummer, or in
corn at last cultivation, or with soy
beans. 1t can easily be substituted
for red clover for sowing in wheat
in the spring. When seeded in the
| spring, hay crop can usually be
obtained the first year.
In seeding sweet clover, use scarf
! fled seed. The seed usually has a
hard, horny, unbroken covering that
! is impervious to moisture and re-
| tards termination for weeks or
months. If this surface is cracked
or scarif1ed to permit the entrance
of water, the seed terminates read
| ily Use scarified seed.
If you are going, to grow sweet
| clover, use lime, inoculate the seed
| SOW scarified seed, seed with a nurse
crop in the spring.
| Stomach Worms In Sheep
The county agents office has re-
ceived a surprising number of in
| quiries about treatment of sheep for
stomach worms. Several fiocks are
wintering poorly, and the cause is
often laid to stomach worms. There
will be number of demonstrations
staged the last of the month, on
treatment of sheep for stomach
worms.
Test Your Corn
Due to the cold weather this win
| ter, along with the fact that most
corn was slightly immature last fall
the seed corn situation for the fol
lowing year is serious Although
not as bad as in the spring of 1918,
still Morgan county seed corn aver
ages less than rs per cent germina-
ton, and the state as a whole aver
ages less than so per cent. If any
thing like a full stand of corn is ex-
pected this spring, it will be neces-
sary to test your seed before plant
ing.
Corn will be tested by the Agri-
cultural department of NJ & NJ high
school, both for termination and
root rot. 1t can also be tested at
home, with small outlay of money.

Resolution

At the meeting of the county
board Of education March 8, 1924,
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, Almighty God in his
wisdom has called Mr.. A. B. Evans,
fellow member of the county
board of education, to his reward,
and
Whereas, we appreciated very
highly this departed brother as a
man, and especially did we appre-
ciate his ability and sincerity in the
work of the county board of educa-
ton and we believe the schools of
Morgan county have suffered an ir-
reparable loss in the death of Mr..
Evans; but, while our loss has been
very great and while we feel this
loss very keenly, we realize that it
has in no way been comparable with
that felt by his community, and es-
pecially by his family;

YOUR, EYES

Books tell us that neither Teddy
Roosevelt nor his parents knew
that his eyes were defective until he
was twelve years old. Just the age
for a studious farsight to become
temporary near sight by muscle
cramp.
At twenty years old we find him
wearing ten diopters near sight
glasses. With this amount Of real
near sight he could not have read
letters two feet tall across the
school room, yet he nor his parents
wrong.
We know that he was not really
near sighted but probably normal or
far sighted and made temporarily
near sighted by muscle cramp caus-
ed by close school work. The man
who started him with near sight
glasses caused him to have to pay
thousands of dollars all through life
for eye treatments, besides other
wise handicapping him almost
equally to losing hand
There is not a high school stu
dent in the county who IS studious
that is not liable to the condition
described in ROoseYelt's case.
| have given glasses to quite a
few to try to check this condition,
who are still continually being told
not to wear them by those who
know no more about optics than l
do about medicine.
If you are too intelligent to wear
the glasses We give you-well it
doesn't matter so much, as it is the
moderately intelligent whose eyes
amount to the most in this world
any way.
Optometry must stand for correct
ing tired, crooked, invalid eyes, not
just sell subjective fit vision glasses
that will be as serious to the ma
jority of school age folks, as they
were to Roosevelt if they use their
eyes as much.

request on many other occasi ons.
The origin of the title of poet
laureate has given rise to much spec
ulation in English history. 1t was
customary among the Greeks to
crown with the laurel. which was
sacred to Apollo, a popular poet, and
the practice was revived in the
middle ages.
SO far as is known the first Eng
lish poet to receive the title of poet
laureate was John Dryden, on whom
the honor was conferred August IS,
1870.

The Hon. Robert Bridges was born
at Nicholas Court, Isle of Thanet, in
1874, son of the late 1. T. Bridges of
Walmer, and was educated at Oxford.
After leaving Oxford he travelled ex-
tensively in Europe, then studied
medicine at ST Bothomew's, Lon
don; became assistant physician at
the Children's Hospital in London.
