NOW Is THE TIME FOR
SOWING SWEET CLOVER

Farmers who are planning to sow
sweet clover should do so at once
according to c. r. Snyder, county
agent. There will probably be more
acres of sweet clover seeded by
Sussex farmers in 1929 than ever
before. The results of demonstra-
tions in the past have shown con-
clusively that this is an ideal crop
for pasture and as a source of soil
improvement. Sweet clover can be
sown on wheat at this time. About
1920 lbs. of white biennial scarf
lied seed should be used per acre.
There are two outstanding limita-
lions in growing sweet clover. They
are lime and incubation Neither
sweet clover nor alfalfa will sue
coed unless soil has plenty of lime.
incubation is also absolutely neces-
sary except in cases where this crop
has previously been grown on the
same area. In inoculating sweet
clover or alfalfa seed the county
agent recommends using both COM
mercial inoculating material such as
can be bought from most of our
dealers or from a field which has
previously grown either of the
crops. The same bacteria is used
by both sweet clover and alfalfa
and therefore soil from an alfalfa
field can be used to inoculate sweet
clover or vice versa. Soil for inoc-
ulation should be taken from we'll
established fields of these crops. 1t
is not well to use any soil from the
top because sunlight has probably
killed most of the bacteria in the
first inch of soil. Not all of the sell
should be taken from one place but
from several places in the field.
This will aid in reducing the posi-
bility of failure in incubation. Such
soil should be dried in dark warm
place, pulverized and sifted. The
seed can then be moistened slightly
and three or four quarts of soil
busted on each bushel and thorough
ly mixed. Some commercial inocu-
lating material might we'll be added
at the same time as precaution
against failure in getting the neces-
sary bacteria from the soil. AS
rule sweet clover does not require
as fertile soil as does alfalfa.

SHRNKAGES OF ESTATES

Nearly 100000 estates with an ag-
gregate value of $4,000, 100000 pass
annually by death in the United
States. Reliable internal CONNER
cial and financial statistics secured
through the United States Bureau of
Internal Revenue, confirm the truth
that dead men cannot take their
money with them. It also proves
that on the average that property
shrinks IL per cent in liquidation.
The Grim Reaper grabbed 412 es-
tates of millionaires for inheritance
taxes in 1927. About 5000 persons
with gross estates between $4,000
to 100000 also died during the
year 1927. Estates valued at tri-
fie less than $3,5O0,OOO,OOO pass an
nually, at the present time, by death
within the United States. But that
is not all, as there are $4,000 1nd1-
vivduals dying annually, with small
er estates, that are also admins
tered, and valued at over $1,65O'OOO'-
900.

Milton Letter

The Senior C. E. Society held its
regular monthly business meeting
last Friday evening in the social
hall of the church, with Mrs. Emma
Darby entertaining. Among the bust
ness discussed was the sending of a

of 80 had been set and there were AZ
present last Wednesday evening.
The largest Sunday school since
the Loyalty Crusade started was

of 149 had been set to be reached

present last Sunday. A decision ser
vice was conducted at the close of
the school and several children were
at the altar.
Both services of the church were

at the M. P. Church, with the pastor
preaching a series of sermons on

CREDIT SITUATION
is STILL IN DOUBT
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The difficulty
that brokers had yesterday in obtaining
call money and the rise that took place
in the rate turned Wall Streets at
tention again to the curious credit sit
uation that is shaping in way quite
contrary to the best banking opinion of
few weeks ago.
Studies of the course of money rates
in other years indicate that the low
average of the Summer is reached on
July %. On that day, Tuesday, the re-
newal figure was per cent after hav-
ing been as high the week previous as
IL per cent and Is per cent on July 81.
Time money has been slowly advanc-
ing until now all maturitieS are quoted
at 8 per cent. Early in July they were
~ per cent, with expectations Of an
even better basis this month for Dor
rowers.
The interior banks are drawing down
their New York balance to accommo-
date their local requirements. The
general demands of very active bust
ness period already have caused a
sharp increase in commercial loans.
And there is no sign that the require
ments of the speculative markets will
contract.
The averages of both industrials and
rails on the New York Stock Exchange
have overtopped those of other months.
There has been a tremendous specula-
ton in public utility shares on the New
York Curb Market, which has COM
PEELED much new borrowing. This has
also led to an expansion in trading in
markets in the interior.
Offsetting to some extent the con-
sequences of high money rates in New
York is the fact that no change oc-
Cured in the Bank of England rate of
discount, which remains at 51a per cent.
There have been limitations that it
would be lifted to 61a per cent as
protective measure. The statement of
this institution revealed a large loss
in gold, nearly $25,000.000, since last
Thursday, with the reserve ratio down
from 43.8 per. cent to 1877 per cent.
Three weeks ago it dropped as low as
SO per cent.
On account of its serious effect on
British trade every effort will be made
to hold the English bank rate at the
present figure. 1t is confidently be-
lieved by bankers here that France
will do nothing to disturb the equilib-
rum of the European money markets,
