GUNNER'S NEWS

Company IN" 206th Infantry
Mimi, locally known as machine
Gun Company" will attend the an
nual encampment for field training
July Is to 80, inclusive. The Com,
pany will go to Lake City, Minnesota.
on the shores Of Lake Peppin this
year.
This is wonderful place fol-
field maneuvers. It has great many
advantages for the young men OF
the community over any place we
have been ordered to before.
The camp sanitation is wonderful
The government has kept the place sc
well drained that there is no sign OF
mosquitoes at any time of the year
The camp site is located within forty
rods of the lake at an elevation above
the lake of about 15 feet. The Mil
waukee railway runs directly through
the camp grounds. The parade
grounds and ranges are on one side
of the track and State Highway No
10, and the tents and quarters are on
the other side, next to the lake.
Directly back of the parade
grounds and ranges is beautiful
bluff about 500 feet high and al.
most perpendicular. The men al
off times climb this bluff for pleas
ure and for wonderful view they get
from the top. 1t takes man about
one-half day to make the ascent and
tl,cee- quarters of an hour to make The
des6 emit.
The natural beauties of the spot
are not the only attributes that the
camp has. Each evening from $50
to 700 o'clock is Formal Guard
Mount which is beautiful sight in
itself. Closely following this is q
band concert by the Regimental
band of sixty pieces. This band is
wonderfully well trained. Following
this is a free movie show given each
night to all. Close to the movie show
| is Regimental canteen. This can;
teen sells at practically wholesale to
soldiers, confectionery, ice cream
tobacco, souvenirs and toilet articles
anything that the soldier might de
sire in this line.
The camp is situated about one
mile from Lake City which is town
of about $500 population, a very
pretty place with parks and public
buildings.
The soldiers day begins at 5:45
and ends at 1870. His pay while at
camp ranges from $500 per day to
$500 per day. All clothing, food,
quarters and transportation are free,
During the time we are in camp the
State runs special train Saturday
noon to St. Paul. Sleeping quarters
are established in the Armory at st.
Paul for all enlisted men who desire
to spend the week end in the city
with friends. Transportation on this
train will not be furnished free. This
train leaves st. Paul at midnight on
Sunday, arriving back at camp about
2:30 A. M. on Monay.
The field training is not hard but
consistent with the desires Of the War
Department to teach the science of
Military tactics for defensive pur-
poses to the civilians Of the country,

Sweet Glover for Hay

r.
Sweet Clover for Hay
Sweet clover, if cut for hay
should be cut at about the right time
You can not go according to the
blossom or yellow leaves or new
shoots as with Alfalfa.
Sweet clover has to be cut for hay
when green and the heighth of the
plant is about the only gauge to &
y.
Sweet clover should be between
twenty to thirty inches high when cut
for hay. 1t must be cut rather high
to insure it coming on again for an
other crop of seed or pasture.
A four to six inch stubble shoulc
be left. 1t should not be left in the
swath too long before being raked in
to windrows. The leaves dry much
faster than the stems and they will
shatter, if left exposed long to the
sun.
Sweet clover lives only two years
It blossoms when three to four feet
high. At this time the stem is very
hard and woody.
