Sweet Clover Requires
Firm. Moist Seed Bed

Sweet clover seed, being very small,
should be planted shallow. In order
that it may grow when planted shall
low, the soil must be quite firm and
full of moisture. Perhaps most of the
failures with sweet clover are due
to blowing, or otherwise loosening up
the seed bed before planting the crop
in the spring. Early spring blowing
loosens and permits the top soil to
dry out and so prevent good stand
Of sweet clover.
Land to be planted to this crop
should be fall plowed, or, even better,
summer fallowed the year preceding
Where such land is not available, corn
stalk land, millet or cane land is suit
able, giving it only light disking as
preparation before seeding sweet clio
yer. AS much of the stubble as pos
sible should be left standing to catch
snow and prevent soil blowing.
Sweet clover should be planted as
early in the spring as possible. Use
eight to ten pounds of clean, scarified
seed per acre. Where possible, drill
in the seed, planting at the depth of
one inch. Where one cannot drill so
shallow, he should broadcast and har-

Great Activity
of Associations
Render Some Essential Serv-
ice Connected With
Farmers Enterprises.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are now more than 1900 &C
tive farmers business organizations
In the United States, the Department
of Agriculture estimates on the basis
of recent survey. This number Is
more than twice that in 1915, when
the first nationwide survey of coop
erative associations was made by the
department.
Included in Associations.
The associations include those sell
ing farm products, buying farm sup
plies, operating creameries, cheese
factories, canning plants, grain eleva-
tors, stockyards, warehouses, or rem
dering some one or more Of the essen
tial services connected with the con-
duct of farmers enterprises. The
figures do not include farmers COOP
erative banks, credit associations, nor
Insurance companies.
Fifty-four of the associations listed
are declarations with local units, AZ
are sales agencies operating in cen
trail markets, So are bargaining asso-
Citations, and SO are large-scale organi-
cations of the centralized type. OF
the total number of associations listed
by the department, 1925 are primarily
engaged In marketing grain, 2,197
handle dairy products. Ito ship live
stock, 1850 market fruits and vege-
tables; 121 perform various functions
in the marketing of cotton, 81 in mar
keting wool, n in marketing poultry
or poultry products, and "a in mar
keting tobacco.
In North Central States.
More than 20 per cent of all the
associations are in the II North Cen
trail states. Approximately 6 per cent
are in the three Pacific Coast states.
and less than 3 per cent in the six
New England states. The largest
number of associations reporting from
any one state is 1888 from Minnesota.
Iowa is credited with 1904 associa-
lions, Wisconsin 1902, and Illinois
800. Missouri has 537 associations
Nebraska, 1888; Kansas, 1855; Califor-
MIA, $50, and New York, 2S6.
The grain marketing associations
are largely in the - North Central
states, as are also the greater number
Of the livestock shipping associations.
The organizations engaged in market
ing dairy products are scattered
| through the country with fair per-
centage of the total number in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin.

And how many know on what crop

Hens Used for Matching

All hens used for egg-hatching pur-
poses should be busted with a good
louise powder when they are placed on
the eggs. The only preparation known
to kill lice with one application is
sodium fiuoride. Put piece Of sod
in the bottom Of the nest to prevent

Plans to Increase
Soil Productivity
Crop Rotation as Good as
Manure and Fertilizers.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In the practice of crop rotation a
farmer has at his command a means
whereby he can materially reduce acre
costs or increase the output Of his
land, says w. W. Weir, associate soil
technologist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Perhaps that
fact is not news to many farmers
who have been using rotation in their
crop system; they know it is bene.
fetal practice.
They may be surprised, however,
says Mr.. Weir, to learn that crop ro-
tation is nearly as effective in increas-
ing soil productivity as the use of
manure and commercial fertilizers.
Furthermore, crop rotation can be
practiced usually with no outlay of
money, whereas the use of commercial
fertilizers requires an expenditure of
money.
A study of the long-continued soil
fertility experiments of this country
and of England, made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has brought out
some important facts about crop rota-
ton in its relation to soil productivity.
In general, says Mr.. Weir, they show
that rotation without the use of
manure or commercial fertilizers is
nearly as efficient in effecting crop in
creases as the use of fertilizers with
out rotation. The beneficial effects of
crop rotation are different from the
benefits derived from the use of fer
tilizers; so that when these two farm
practices are combined the one prac-
tice adds to the benefits of the other,
making. the resultant increase almost
twice that secured by either practice
used alone.
On soils long under cultivation
highest yields are possible only when
rotation and the use of fertilizers are
practiced together.

Possibilities Open for
Farm Storage of Grain

The farmer has the choice Of three
places for storing his grain In order
to hold it for favorable market, it
Is explained by l.. #. Hickey, grain
marketing specialist of the college Of
agriculture, University of Illinois.
These three places are: ~ in cribs or
granaries on his own farm, (2) eleva-
tors or cribs at his shipping point, or
(3) at the terminal elevators. In order
to hold his grain, it is often necessary
for the farmer to borrow money upon
1t as collateral.
When it is in public elevators at
the terminal markets he can readily
borrow on the warehouse certificates,
but the cost Of such storage is rather
high. Storage in the local elevator has
advantages, but these houses are not
large enough to actually store very
much grain and many elevators refuse
this class of business or limit the time
of storage to comparatively short
period.
Farm cattle and granaries offer the
cheapest storage for grain crops and
this method has several other apparent
advantages. However, no one would
care to loan money on grain so To-
Gated. Iowa has solved this part of
the problem by its unbonded agri-
cultural warehouse law. Under Its
provisions cribs or granaries are Off
cially sealed and storage certificates
issued which are acceptable to local
bankers as collateral for loans. The
grain thereby finances its holding for
a favorable market.

Taught Patiently. Kindly.

DIN-TIN-HN, "the wonder dog of
N the SCREEN" is said to lead a
very useful existence, and he seems
to sense it.
He is treated as any human motion
picture star would be. He has a chair
with his name printed on the back,
and his own kennels at the studio in
stead of a dressing room.
In working before the camera he
is rehearsed once or twice and then
cued from the sidelines as when to
turn and how to look. In saying
that he knows how to look, 1t means
just that, for he can give various
facial expressions, even as a human
actor. He can take direction, too.
He has been trained to obey com.
mands. and trained so thoroughly
that he knows exactly what those
commands mean and when to do
them.
People who wonder at his acting
on the screen forget that 1t has taken
infinite pains and patience to train
him to a point where he can do all
Of those things, but once he has been
taught something he never forgets.
Lee Duncan, his owner and trainer,
it is said, has never allowed a whip
or hand to touch him. He has been
taught with repetition and kindness.

II had never played vaudeville. but
Pat had, so he taught me the essen
tials and we were booked on the
Keith Circuit. We've been here ever
since.
I'm all our married life we have
never been separated. So many
sordid divorces in the theatrical world
grow out of the fact that the profess
sion takes a man away from his wife.

atrical business. it is trying for that
one, and dangerous for the one be-
hind the footlights. Pat and l al

side attention in the theatrical world
than "Our Own Kate Smith," as they

whose peculiar forte is "blues" songs
and melodies in syncopation that re-
quire to be put over with a lure, as it
were.
She has a rare personality. There
is no doubt about that. AS an added
charm she has a voice irresistible in
the type of ballads dear to the heart
of the Summer night river excursion
ist and, although to use a racing
phrase. she carries weight for her age
and she is both young and comely-
she is a warm rival to the Charleston
dancers who have been demonstrating
in these parts for some. time past.
Kate has now hit the Keith-Albee

Song to Inspire.

Cruze conceived the idea when. for
