MIXTURE SUGGESTED AS RED
CLOVER SUBSTITUTE

Red clover seed grown in Mary
land, Tennessee, Ohio or Pennsyl-
vania is safest for spring planting ir
Maryland, says ]. E. Metzger, agron
omist for the University of Maryland
Experiment Station.
eff seed grown in these states Voc
produced from second crop cutting,
it is reasonably sure to have con
siderable resistance to the disease
called anthracnose, says Mr.. Metz
ger. This disease does its greatest
damage in midsummer and most
foreign seed as we'll as seed pro-
duced in the northern sections of the
United States is more susceptible to
it than seed grown in Maryland,
Tennessee, Ohio or Pennsylvania.
eff foreign or northern seed is
used, it should be planted in Augusb
early in the month in the northern
counties and later in the southern
sections of the State. The grower
is reasonably sure of getting one
good cutting of hay the following
year but may not secure Seconf
crop.
Reports, however, indicate that
the supply of red clover and alsike
clover seed is the lowest in twenty
five years and the prices next to
the highest ON record. Alfalfa seed
and sweet clover seed, on the other
hand, are available in ample supply
at relatively low prices.
''On land that is reasonably fertile
and not sour, eight to ten pounds of
inoeulated alfalfa with four to si5
pounds of alsike clover makes Q
satisfactory mixture for spring
planting. 1t is best to plant with
an alfalfa (disc) drill or to harrow
the wheat land with smoothing
harrow before broadcasting the
seed.''

TO EXTEND sUsoUE-
HANNA FLATS

HANNA FLATS
Robert R. Lawder's bile to extend
the limits of the Susquehanna Flats
southwark to line below Spesutia
Island was recommitted to the Fish
and Game Committee by vote of
Ga to 80, when it was favorably
repofted by that committee in the
House of Delegates.
In the debate on the motion to
reconhit, which was made by j.
Wilmer Cronin, one of Mr.. Lawder's
colleagues from Hartford county, it
was brought out that extension of
the flats would bring the area
opposite the grounds of the Spesutia
Island Rod and Gun Club, of which
j. P. Morgan and other wealthy New
Workers. are members.
Defending the bill, Mr.. Lawder
said that when the area of the flats
was defined there were twenty out
fits on the flats, and now there are
213; hence more room was needed.
He said the property of the club was
assessed at $27S,000. The bill was
opposed by Mr.. Cronin and Marshall
T. Heaps, Hartford county, and the
Cecil county delegation.
