NEWS AND GOSSIP OF SOCIETY FOLK
California Has It's Hoover, Kansas

California has its Hoover

Curtis, but Washington has
q proprietary interest in
both.
Should the Republican
ticket win out, there II be
q new problem in official
etiquette to be solved. The

modern days has had a wife
has a position Of unique
Importance in Washington
society, since it is part OF
the Vice Presidents job to
represent the Presidency IN
many of its social aspects.
But Senator Curtis is =
widower and it is his sister,
Mrs. Edward E. Gam, who
will be his official hostess.
A Stalwart Husband
This is not an unusual situa-
ton, but in most instances
where the sister of some Off
cial is chatelaine Of his house
hold. she is a spinster or a
widow, whereas Mrs. Gam has
4 stalwart and distinguished
husband of her own. When the
Vice President entertains-if
Senator Curtis becomes Vice
President Mrs. Gam will UNI
doubtedly be his hostess. But
the question arises would his
sister be invited with him and,
II so, would her husband be in-
cluded in the invitation?
Such technical points can, OF
course, be ironed out If they
arise. And meanwhile we in
Washington are delighted to
find the political spotlight CEN

Seeding Red Glover

Seeding red clover in late summer
or early fall is recommended wher-
ever experience has not shown this
to be impracticable, unless anthrax
nose-resistant seed is used. Anthrac-
nose is less serious on clover seeded
in the late summer than on that
seeded in the spring because while
red clover thrives in cool weather,
anthracnose does not. In many
parts of the country the best stands
of red clover are procured by seed
ing in August or September without
a nurse crop, especially on thin
land. Whether or not this method
will succeed in a particular section,
however, can be determined only by
a trial. Where land will produce 40
bushels or more of corn to the acre
good stands may be obtained from
spring seeding, but on land produc-
ing less than this, clover seeded
alone in the early fall makes a bet
ter stand apart from the danger Of
anthracnose. With August seeding,
where this is practicable, a reason
ably good hay crop may be expected
from imported seed, and if the sea-
son is favorable or the seed used
was produced in the East, a second
growth may develop.

NEWS OF
IN TEREST
TO
AGRICULTURISTS

If alsike clover from spring
seeding does not make a stand, the
stubble field may be disked and
seeded in August with a fair chance
of success unless a severe drought
should occur. Alsike clover will en-
dure moisture that would kill most
crops, and has been known to grow
a year in water-soaked and water
covered soil and make a heavy
growth. In the South alsike clover
is recommended for creek bottoms
and other wet lands.
*** Leafness is considered the
most important factor in grading al
falfa hay. AS two-thirds or more of
the protein of the alfalfa plant is
carried in the leaves, a leafy type of
alfalfa is relatively high in protein
and stemmy type is comparatively
low. Leafy types of alfalfa have
more pliable stems. Color is also
an important point in high-grade al
falfa, according to U. S. standards,
as palatability, vitamins. other deli
cate feed nutrients, and laxative
properties are commonly associated
with unchanged green color.
Dockage makes valuable
feed, fact that is not generally rec
ognized. Grain should be cleaned on
the farm and the dockage used for
feeding. The average dockage, or
screenings, is roughly comparable to
oats in composition, and heavy
screenings from which the chaffy
material has been removed are near
ly equal to corn, wheat, or barley in
percentages of the various nutrients.
In order to avoid contamination of
the soil from the screenings that are
used for feed, it is important that
all screenings be thoroughly ground
before they are fed, except when
fed to sheep.
> August is the month to be
on the lookout for signs of "liver
rot" in sheep or calves. This dis
ease is caused by liver fiukes, fiat,
leaflike worms about an inch long,
which occur principally along the
Gulf and Pacific coasts and the ad-
joining basins of their tributary
rivers. Sheep or calves affected
with liver flukes may improve and
get fat in the first stages of the dis
ease, usually in the summer and
fall, but later grow thin, eat less,
and have persistent diarrhea. The
best remedy for liver flukes in sheep
is carbon tetrachloride administered
by a veterinarian. The manure from
infected with liver rot
should not be put on pasture, espe-
cially on wet ground, and livestock
should be kept off wet pastures
where f1ukes are prevalent.
