SWEET CLOVER FIELDS SOURCE
OF NEW AND USEFUL STRAINS

All sweet clovers are variable in
their habits of growth, and many in
dividual plants of distinct type and
form may be found in nearly any
sweet-clover field. This offers an op-
portunity for the development of new
strains of sweet clover for definite
uses, according to L. w. Kephart,
forage crop, specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
There is considerable interest at
present in the production of better
hay varieties, he says, since the
common sweet clovers, especially
the white-fowered species, are too
coarse and heavy to make good hay
from the second years growth. Sew
eral good hay varieties have already
been developed, notably the early
towering Grundy County. Crystal
Dwarf, and Early Dwarf varieties of
white sweet clover, and the Albotrea
and Switzer varieties Of yellow
sweet clover. Recently a type of
sweet clover bearing many more
and finer stems than the common
sorts were foun] at two of the wes-
tern Canadian experiment stations.
1t resembles alfalfa so closely that
it is easily mistaken for that plant.
This important discovery will DO
doubt add a distinct new type of for
age plant to the present list.
The need for winter-hardy types
has been met with the Arctic, or
Hansen's Siberian, a white Powered
variety from western Canada, and
Albotrea, also from Canada. A sweet
clover much better SUITED than the
common sorts to the cold. dry eli
mate of the northern Great Plains
appears to nave been developed at
the Redfield, South Dakota, field sta
ton of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Several persons are endeavoring
to find sweet clover that will grow
on acid soils, lack of lime being a
serious hindrance TO culture Of the
crop in many localities. Still others
are trying to develop a strain suited
to the drought and hot winds of the
southern Great Plains.
A type of sweet clover that would
be exceedingly useful, according to
Mr.. Kephart, is one that would re-
main green late in the fall, start
growth early the next spring, and
remain green and in good feeding
condition. well into the following
summer. A number of experimenters,
both on farms and at experiment
stations, have approached this type
with selections of common white
sweet clover. Perhaps even better
results will come from tests now be-
ing madN with species and varieties
brought from Europe and eastern
Asia, one such species this year hav-
ing remained green six weeks later
than any sweet clover heretofore
| grown.

the battle in its first round, Jecoe moving up the
battle fleet and winning the second round, adding
that the admiralty's omission prevented Jellcoe's
winning final and decisive victory.
Beatty is virtually accused Of violating one Of
the most important principles Of naval strategy in

Life Insurance

The results Of the operations Of the life insur-
companies Of the country for 1926, as forth
in the complete figures just made available show
an increase of 10 per cent over the previous year
and thus mark another step in the popuarization
of this means of protecting ones dependents in the
event Of premature demise accidental ncapacita-
ton. According to the records of 297 old-nc le-
gal life insurance companies for every 800
Of assets held for the protection Of pocyholders
at the close Of 1925, there about $11O at the
close of 1926 and for every 81 900 policy that was
written in 1925 there was a LOO policy written
in 1926.
The extraordinary growth of the life insurance
business is shown by study Of the aggregates
from 1914 to 1926, inclusive Admitted assets
have about trpled in this PERIOD has the pre-
MUM receipts and otherStte Of income and dis
bursemcnts. The figures show that five times as
much new insurance written last year as COM
pared with 1914, while the total insurance in force.
in both the ordinary and industrial departments at
the close Of the period, is almost four times the
total at its beginning.
One of the outstanding achievements of 1926 was
the establishment Of of the life insurance COM
panies the largest financial institution in the
world replacing the Bank of England for that dis
tinction.
With all this increase in policies written noted.
yet it is safe to say that the field for business
is still unlimited. Very few persons carry life in
surance, or if they carry it, carry enough Many
of the companies have evolved very complete poll
cies that give exceptional protection and should b..
given consideration by everyone who has others de-
pending upon him.

Working For Safety

Stating that the automobile clubs of the United
States might do great deal more than they have
hitherto done in the direction of highway safety,
H. o. Rounds, director of the safety and traffic
division of the Detroit Automobile club, recently
told members of the Pennsylvania Motor Fedora
tion something CT the possibilities to be achieved
by constructive educational work.
He pointed out that most automobile clubs have
never taken active interest in working for uni
form traffic laws, nor in getting legislation put
through which would insure greater safety on the
highways He urges that these clubs which have
been delinquent in the past take the time now and
draft program for the future which will accom-
phsh certain definite things toward the improve
ment of highway and safety conditions
There are close to 1000 automobile clubs in the
American Automobile association he said land if
each club were doing the same kind Of work that
the National Safety Council is doing it is my firm
belief that accidents would be reduced to a mini
num-"
Mr.. Rounds contention seems quite reasonable
and his criticism well merftcd The automobile
club came into existence twenty-five years ago.
From its birth it has stood behind every movement
for improvement of the highways, more intelligent
traffic laws and for more comprehensive enforce
mental good work, to be sure, but only an occa-
sional individual club through the country has in
terested itself in reducing the accidents caused on
the highway by the automobile or it's use
One way local automobile clubs might aid this
safety work would be to work through the schools
and educate the growing youngsters in the methods
OF highway safety.
