RED CROSS ROLL
 GROWS RAPIDLY
 TO THE WESTWARD DRIVE FOR FUNDS TO MAINTAIN PERMANENT NURSE PRO-
 DRESSES NICELY

Officials of the 18th. annual roll call for the Seward Chapter of the American Red Cross, who are re- cieving additional reports on the pro- gress of the work in Southwestern Alaska, are now extremely hopefl.l that the object of this drive will be accomplished. It is it's purpose 'n raise a fund sufficient to employ and pay the travelling expenses of quail fled nurse who can devote her time to the needs of the small villages on the far Western coast line for emer- gency calls from accident or sickness It is a need long felt, the Red Cross says, and the people are responding generously
 Latest reports received in Seward from Port Moller and Kenai show as ready a response as the results ob- tained at Unga and Squaw Harbor and previously printed in the Seward Gateway. Officers of the chapter ex- tend to the officers of the Pacific American Fisheries at Port Moller and the Northwestern Fisheries at Kenai their sincere appreciation of the cooperation received. STf

Spreading Lime During
Winter Is Ideal Plan

It is good practice to spread lime
stone during the winter where clover
will be seeded in oats or other spring
grain this coming season. says the
state college of agriculture at Ithaca.
N. Y. The rush of spring work often
makes II desirable to have the lime
on the land in advance, and If the
spring is cold and wet, this advantage
Is emphasized.
II Is also good practice to haul
lime to the farm during winter. New
York dirt roads are not conducive to
cheap hauling in the spring. Larger
loads can be handled by sled than nv
wagon. Lime can be hauled home
sometimes instead Of returning empty
after bringing farm products to market.
Anything that can be done during
winter aids to get spring crops seeded
at the proper time in a well-prepared
seedbed. Hauling lime to the farm
during winter may be insurance
against seeding clover on unlimed
sour soils. Seeding on sour soil may
result In losing the seed as well as
the clover hay crop for 1929.

EFFECT OF THE BAUMES LAW

Figures just compiled by the po-
lice commissioner of New York city
relative to crime in the metropolis In
1927 constitute unmistakable evil
dence of the efficacy of the Baumes
laws, which were operative through
out the year. Murders of citizens re-
sulting from robberies decreased SIS
per cent, as compared with 1926.
Murders of police decreased A per
cent. Murder and manslaughter cases
during the year totaled 27S, compared
with 2S9 the year previous. Assault
and robbery cases totaled 951, in
comparison with LIB. There was
a decrease of 50 per cent in hold
ups, involving more than $4,000,
and So per cent in those between
$1,000 and $4,000. Pay roll hold-ups
decreased 81 per cent. In only one
class of crimes was there an increase,
burglaries advancing from 1871 in
1926 to 1880 in 1928, and this in
crease of nine was attributed to
sneak thieves engaged in daylight
robberies. ~lT
The Baumes law, which was enact
ed about Is months ago, constituting
new criminal code for the state of
New York, increased the penalties for
various classes of crimes, and espe-
cially for repeated breaches of the
law. They somewhat simplified the
procedure in the trial Of such cases
and made evasion of penalties more
difficult than before. At first the
criminal classes did not take the new
enactments seriously, but they soon
learned that the new laws had
"teeth" in them. and, after a few SEN
fences of life Imprisonment for third
offenses were imposed, it become evil
dent to the chronic criminals that 1t
was dangerous to continue the prac-
tice Of lawlessness as means of
making living.
There is need Of further reform
The court procedure remains too
complex and offers dangerous oppor-
tunities for delay and evasion. Short
er cuts to justice are required. The
"fence" problem has not been solved.
The evil of professional bondsmen
who work in collision with crime di-
rectors through attorneys who are no
less than the legal agents of profess
sional law-breakers is still to be
abated. Efforts to reach solution of
these problems are now being made

Suitable Mold Can Be Made
by Farmer Himself.

Concrete fence posts can be made
by farmers during. their spare time.
A practical rectangular mold, seven
or eight feet in length, with cross
section of four by five inches at the
base which tapers to three or four
inches at the top will serve for forms.
This mold can be built by the farmer
himself with smooth, straight-grained
lumber
The concrete used for making posts
consists of one sack of portland &C.
ment to two cubic feet of sand and
three cubic feet of pebbles which
are not more than three-quarters inch
in diameter. Both the sand and the
pebbles must be hard and clean.
Mix the cement, sand and the peb-
bles thoroughly So that the combina-
ton will have uniform color. Then
mix in enough water to make work
able concrete. Use no more water
than is needed, as too much will
weaken the material. If you paint the
insides of the moldS with crude oil,
linseed oil thinned with kerosene. or
machine oil. the hardened posts will
come out easily.
Quarter-inch steel bars running the
length of the post are used as rein
forcing. In rectangular posts rod
is placed in each corner three-quar-
tiers of an inch from the two adjacent
sides.
If the posts are made during warm
weather. they can he removed from

Practices to Follow in
Growing Alfalfa Crop

Alfalfa may be sown with a seeding
of oats, barley or wheat in the spring
in the same general way that clover
is seeded. About ten pounds of seed
per acre will give a good stand when
properly put in. Alfalfa will not
grow well on land where both surface
and subsOil are sour, though il may
grow well when surface is sour if sub
soil is sweet. 1t is waste of seed
TO sow ii where the soil is sour at
depth of much more than a foot or SO.
until an application of limestone has
been made.
Alfalfa seed should be inoculated
before sowing if to be sown where in
ocuation from either sweet clover or
alfalfa is not present. Seed can he
inoculated by commercial cultures or
with inoculated soil.
Alfalfa is superior to all other clio
yers for every purpose for which clO-
vers are grown, whether soil building
or feeding purposes.

Insure Profitable Corn
Crop by Repairing Planter

After the seed corn has been tested
and is ready to plant-then what!
Trust to luck that your corn planter
Is going to work all right, or test it
out and know what 1t will do?
The kernels of your seed corn may
be larger or smaller than last year
and different size plates will be re-
quired. Or, if the ears have not been
tipped and butted and run through a
grader, there will be large percent
age of odd-sized kernels that will
spoil the accuracy of the planter.
Two kernels in one hill, three in an
other, four in third, back again to
three or two will give the desired av-
erage of three kernels to the hill, but
the yield of corn will be injured by

Size of Field and Nature of
Soil Determine Time Re-
quired for Acre.

Although a three-horse team can
plow more In a day than twc-horse
team, the cost of blowing each acre
is higher with three horses, according
TO figures on the cost of blowing and
the amount Of labor used under diff
ferent conditions in New York, gath
cred by the state college of agricul-
ture at Ithaca, N. Y. The cost of the
use of the third horse is more than
the saving In cost of man labor. How
ever, If the third horse would be idle
1t is good practice to use it, and, too,
by using three horses enough time
may be saved to plant a crop earlier
or to plant more acres and thus In
crease the possibilities of greater in
come.
Time to Pillow.
The size of the field, the number
of horses or the kind and size of trac.
tor used, and whether the land is sod
or stubble determine the time required
to pillow an acre of land.
In blowing small fields, consider
able time is lost in making the turns
If fields are both small and irregular,
more time is lost. Large rectangular
fields take least time for each acre, for
less time is lost in turning and In
plowing the headlands.
Two or Three?
Two-horse teams walk more slowly
and stop oftener than three-horse
teams. Most tractors pulling two
plows travel faster than horses.
Further, no time, is required for rest
ing when tractor is used. To pillow
one acre of sod with a twO-horse team
takes from 51s to ~ hours. With
three-hOrse team drawing single
pillow, it takes from to 6 hours; with
a tractor and two-bottcm pillow. 1t
takes from to 31a hours.
Stubble is easier to pillow than sod,
and it is not necessary to pillow so
carefully on stubble as on sod. An
acre Of stubble can be plowed in one
half to one hour less than can an
acre of sod, on the average. On the
basis of cost, custom rates for plow-
ing sod should be higher than for
blowing stubble land.

Short Farm Notes

Planting on loose seeded is bid
for disaster.
Plant peas as early as possible, and
keep planting them every week or two
until July.
The poorer the soil the more need
there is for fertilizer, and the more
profit In its wise use.
good seed bed is needed in gar
den making. II does not pay to slight
the factor of soil preparation.
Improper shoeing frequently leads
to Irregularities in gait, which may
render a horse unserviceable and un-
Salabe.
It's much better to use plenty of
seed, and then thin out all but the
best plants, than to sow sparingly and
have empty spaces in the rows.

Plow Sweet Glover Under
Quite Early in Spring

In blowing under sweet clover for
corn, there has been much specula-
ton as to what is the proper time that
this should be done. Experiment
shows that little if anything is to be
gained by waiting later than April Is.
at that time the amount of available
nitrogen in the soil has been variously
estimated at between 100 pounds to
1870 pounds per acre, equivalent to the
amount of nitrogen in II tons Of
average farm manure.
Flowing sweet clover under late in
the season for corn is apt to have an
undesirable mechanical effect on the
soil by reason of the amount of coarse
and unrotted stems of the sweet
clover, which will form air pockets
and the corn will dry out.

Winter Is an Excellent
Time to Fix Machines

Machines should be gone over when
they are stored for the winter. Re-
pairs should be noted and put in place
during the slack time of the year.
Waiting till the machine is needed
means delays; it means time when
time is the most valuable. Field
work stops at the very time when IT
is most urgent Very often a few
small repairs made at the proper time
save the machine; at the very least,
it is more efficient and may be made
so at the minimum of expense if done
in time. Where this has not already
been done, the winter affords an ex-
cellent time to do the work

Green Manure Supply

Sweet clover, red clover, or alsike
clover sown in wheat this spring
would furnish green manure to turn
under In the fall for the benefit of
land which will be. sown to wheat
again. Sweet clover is the most pro-
ductive of the three legumes men
toned, and would be expected to pro-
duce larger growth for turning I'M

amount of lime needed, have a test

TOO MUCH AND TOO LITTLE

The other day c. M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, received a
letter complaining that the state snow
plows do not leave any snow on the
road for the benefit of sleigh drivers.
The same mail brought a Clipping
from a southern Minnesota describing
county snow pillow which was said
to be doing better work than the
state plows because 1t goes to The
bottom and takes all the snow OF

The state snow blowing crews aim
to leave five or six inches of snow on
the road for the benefit of sleigh driv-
ers. Often, however, the wind leaves
many spots on the highways entirely
bare. And when it thaws for few
days, no one can guarantee to keep
snow on the roads. The state high
