Favorable Conditions in
Early Spring for Glover

1t is usually best to sow sweet clover
seed in the early spring, as soil mois-
ture conditions are hardly ever favor
able in the fall for getting the seed
early enough for 1t to make growth
enough to live over the winter.
Sweet clover may be sown the same
way that the other kinds of clover are
usually sown. 1t may be sown with
wheat, oats or barley, and when sown
on wheat early In the spring some
provision should be made for getting
the seed covered soon after sowing.
From 10 to Il pounds of seed per
acre makes a heavy seeding with good
seed and under favorable conditions
for 1t to terminate. The yield of seed
per acre is very variable, and may run
from almost nothing up to 10 or IL
bushels per acre. depending largely
on seasonal conditions.

VICTIMS OF MENTAL TROUBLE
Many Ex-Service Men Are Held az

A great per cent of ex-service men
imprisoned in state and federal peni-
tentiaries for crime are suffering from
some mental disability, caused by the
war. Reports of such instances from
many states have led TO preparation
for survey to be undertaken by the
American Legion in every state of the
Union.
Oklahoma, first of the state de-
partments of the Legion to complete
the preliminary work as directed by
the national organization, has found
that PIT men who served during the
World war are now in the penal in

In order that these men will have
the proper care and treatment in case
1t is found that their crime might
have been due to mental detection
caused by the war, careful investi-
CATION will be made of each case. This
will be undertaken with regard to the
rights and experiences of the former
fighter, back pay, allotment, undis-
tributed Liberty bonds, compensation
and disqualification and other features
which the Legion has helped in secur-
ing for others who served.
