INCUBATION NEEDED
IN ALFALFA GROWING

incubation is necessary to get
the best results in establishing
and growing alfalfa and sweet
clover stands, says A. c. Army of
the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton at University Farm. Legu-
minous plants have nodules
knots or lumps-on the roots con-
tanning bacteria are able to use
nitrogen of the air in their
growth. If these bacteria are
not supplied, the crop can be only
partially successful and may be
almost a total failure.
Two methods are recommended
by Mr.. Army. In what he desig-
mates as Method No. 1 incubation
is accomplished by mixing alfalfa
seed, pound for pound, with soil
that is now growing or that pro-
duced last season well inoculated
plants. The soil should be sifted
and dried gradually. When seed
ing time comes, the seed is moist
ened and then mixed with the
dried inoculated soil. However,
fresh soil mixed with the seed
and sown Immediately gives good
results.
Commercial incubation is the
basis for Method No. 2. Several
reliable commercial inoculants
are usually sold by seedsmen.
says Mr.. Army. Application
blanks for government inocula-
ton may be obtained by writing
the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington.
No inoculants for leguminous
crops are sent out from Univer-
sity Farm.
Mr.. Army says that incubation
is so necessary on sandy lands
that both soil and a commercial
inoculant should be used. Fine
black soil is much superior to
sandy soil for this purpose for
the reason that the fine black soil
contains greater numbers Of BAG
terra and adheres to the seeds
better.

ALLIED BREAK IS
BELIEVED NEAR
Views Of French and British Pre-.
miers Are Divided on
Sanctions.

Paris--Instead OF cementlng the
Anglo-French union the report OF the
Dawes commission looms now as the
rock destined TO split the entente cor
dale wide open.
Two fundamental differences divide
the British and French viewpoints.
while both Premiers Macdonald and
Poincare are definitely on record as
stating that neither will back down
for the other.
The first difference is over the mat.
ter OF sanctions. Premier Poincare
has already indicated that France will
not accept the report OF the experts
at all unless Britain and Italy sign an
agreement by which all the Allies will
Join In imposing new sanctions. In.
GLIDING reimposition OF the Ruhr
system should Germany default.
Premier Macdonald In speech ca
tegorically repudiated such a PROPOSE
ton on the grounds that the menace
OF new sanctions would be an incite-
ment to German nationalism.
In the second place Premier Mac
Donald believes that the total OF Ger.
manys debt should be reduced In or.
der 20 permit her to aequit herself
fully within 20 years.

CREAMERIES SET
RECORD IN MARCH
State Association Handled More
Than 100000 Pounds
in Month.

Land'O-Lakes Sweet Cream
Butter, highest grade product of
Minnesota's cooperative cream
cries, enjoys an ever increasing
popularity. During March, the
new sales department of the Min
nesota Cooperative Creameries'
association marketed more than
800, 900 pounds. Of this, 60 per
cent had the quality to qualify
as "LandOlLakes," new trade
name selected in the recent state
wide prize contest.
Because it required consider
able time to prepare carton de-
signs and other advertising ma
terial, it was not until April 1,
that the association began billing
its product under the new name.
OF this 100000 pounds of but
ter. not more than 10 per cent
was sent to New York, according
to H. F. Meyer, in charge of the
sales department.
Conditions of the butter mar
ket," he said, has caused us to
dispose of most of our business
at other centers. New York had
too much butter during March
and had we not been able to de-
velop other outlets, the glut
would have been more pro-
nounced and the price even low
err than it has been. Thus, the
association has served as a price
stabilizing influence and has
helped all cooperative cream
cries in the state, whether mem
bers or not"
As example of the manner
in which the association is con-
stantly expanding its outlet came
last week when Mr.. Meyer re-
ceived two standing orders for
unsalted butter from ice cream
manufacturers in Lawrence,
Mass. and Detroit, Mich. These
makers of ice cream will mix the
sweet cream, unsalted butter.
with powdered milk or whole
milk to obtain a cream from
which high grade ice cream can
be made.

Bleached Skull May
Explain Mystery of
esLittle J0e'' Ozimic

Sheriff James McClarty of Liv-
ingston, recently received a skull
which was found near Aldridge ov-
er the hills west of Electric, by
w. w .Wetzel. The lower Jaw
is gone from the skull, and it's APP
pearance indicates that it must
have been exposed for a number
of years.
Mr.. Wetzel wrote Sheriff McClarty
that about nine years ago an AL
bridge character known as Little Joe,
disappeared from sight and was never
heard from again, and it has re-
manned a mystery as to whether he
left the country, suffered an accident
in the hills, or met with foul play.
1t is believed that this may be his
skull.
A newspaper correspondent at Gin
nabar Basin, says Of the finding of
the skull:
Little Joe" Ozimic was missing
October 20, 1915. A skull was seen
4 few years ago above the road near
The lake by the late Edward Wright,
Jr. Wetzel found this skull below
he road on the bank of the lake.
Little Joe" was a wood cutter, and
1t the time all places where he work
I'd were searched and many times
;ince people have looked about the
AXE. He had one sister in Austria.

then given to gathering the salt
while the oxen were allowed to take
their fill of it where they stood.
Several sacks filled and slowed
away in the wagons, we drove on
to fresh water, good pasturage and
the breakfast we earnestly craved.
A month later we reached Ban
mack, and of the salt collected that
morning there remained a gunny-
sack full. The rest had been given
to the cattle. 1t was providential
that we saved any, as we discov-
cred later.
In the winter of 1864, sup
plies ran short in Bannack. There
were no fruit, no vegetable, butter,
eggs, lard, and little flour to be
bought. 1t was at that time that
my father paid seventy-five dol
lars in gold, with gold at a prem
ium, for a half sack Of flour, which
was, as | recall it, brought from the
Bitter Root valley. There was
of beef, some game, but no

LIGHTNING STRIKES HIM;
HE THINKS 1T is A BLOW
FROM HIS COMPANION

A freak bolt of lightning almost
involved DR.. S. A. Grouse of Mel
stone and one of his friends in a
serious alteration, a few days ago..
DIR. Grouse, who was on his way to
Ingomar, was Overtaken by a
storm near Bascom, and the two
men took shelter from the rain on
the porch of a house at Bascom.
The were conversing and watch
ing the storm when suddenly the
doctors friend received a blow be-
hind the ear which almost knock
ed him down. Turning in conster-
nation to inquire concerning this
sudden attack, he found the doctor
lying on the ground some distance
from the porch.
The doctor who was badly stun
ned by the lightning was assisted
to his feet. Both men were some
what shaken but were able to con-
tinue to Ingomar when the storm
vas over.
