TELLS WHEN AND HOW
TO CUT ALFALFA HAY

Leafness, green color, soft stems
and other desirable qualities of alfal-
ia hay are largely determined by the
time. of cutting and the method Of
curing and handling, says A. c. Army
of the division of agronomy, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul. He advises cut
ting alfalfa when it is from one
tenth to one-fourth in bloom. At this
stage the stems are small and pliable
and the leaves will not shatter appre-
ciably.
For learger fields, the most prac-
teal plan is to windrow the hay with
the side delivery rake soon after cut
ting later turning it with the same
implement, and getting the hay into
the stack or NOW before the leaves
have become so brittle that they drop
off. Complete information on cutting
and curing alfalfa, as we'll as many
suggestions on seeding incubation
and other phases of producing are
given in special Bulletin, No. 104,
which may be had on request. Ad-

new CURRENCY IS
NOW ON DISPLAY
State Bank and Citizens State
Bank Display Smaller Bills
For July Circulation

A few of the new bills have just
been received from the United States
Treasury by the State Bank and
Citizens State Bank of Redwood Falls
and are now on display at these
banks. The new money will not be
placed in general circulation until
some time in July.
The new bills, which have been in
process of making for several months
are 6 5-16 by 2 11-16 inches in size,
Or two-thirds the size of the present
currency. The new bills constitute
the first change in the size of our
paper money since 1861. The re-
duced size of the bills is the result
of study on the part of the Treasury
Department to find some way in
which the paper currency could be
produced more rapidly and also be
made to wear longer. The reduction
in size makes it possible for the Uni
ted States Bureau of Engraving and
Printing at Washington, D. c., to
make twelve notes instead of eight
from one sheet and in one operation,
thereby raising the productive ca
pacity of the plant by so per cent.
The saving in material is, of course,
obvious. In addition, as the smaller
bills will require less folding, they
will last much longer and remain in
better condition than the present cur
rency They are the same size as
the bills in use in the Philippine Is
lands, and it was the longer life and
greater convenience of these bills
that suggested the change.
In the smaller bills all unnecessary
patterns have been eliminated and
the new notes have been simplifed
by the adoption of single character

GRAVES REGISTRATION
IN STATE INCOMPLETE

Less than $500 graves of an esti-
mated total of $4,000 war dead
buried in Minnesota have been re-
corded according to a report by Ad-
jutant General E. A. Walsh, summing
up work of the state bureau of grave
registration, a division of his office.
He called on service organizations
of the state to assist in the work of
compiling records to obtain complete
registration of 10000 veterans of
wars from that of 1872 to the recent
World War. Included are the graves
Of many veterans of the Civil and
Spanish wars and various Indian
campaigns.
The bureau was established as a
result of action of the 1927 legisla-
ture and has attempted not only to
locate the graves of veterans but as
well to obtain complete war records
Of each.
"This department estimates that
there are in Minnesota approximate
ly 10000 graves of veterans" Cen
eral Walsh said. I'm many instances
cemeteries have been abandoned or
records were so poorly kept that it
will be difficult to effect a complete
registration. The cost of checking
each cemetery would be prohibitive,
would take many years, and would be
impractical.
"The status of, all cases in the
graves registration division on De-
cember 81 last, after an existence of
Is months, follows: Estimated grav-
es, 100000; grave registration COM
plete, 545; grave registration incom-
plete, 7,153; place of burial undeter-
mined, 129."
In the case of the graves for which
data has been obtained General Walsh
is suggesting the cooperation Of
posts of service organizations. These
can gather the data for their parti-
cular districts.

istic design for each denomination.
The portraits appearing on the face
of the new currency are as follows:
81 bills, Washington; So bills, JEFF
ferson; SIS bills, Lincoln; $40 bills,
Hamilton; $40 bills, Jackson; $50
bills, Grant; $1O0 bills, Franklin;
Cleveland; $4,000 bills, Madison &c..
$500 bills, Mckinley; $1,000 bills,
600 bills, Chase. For the first time
the signature of the Secretary of the
Treasury appears on each bill what
ever its variety and denomination.
Printing Of the old currency ceas-
ed on April LIST and none has been
issued since that time. However, as
there are over 90O,0OO,OOO pieces OF
the old currency in circulation, it is
believed that it will take several
months to substitute the new bills
for the old. This will be done as
rapidly as possible, the old money
being retired as soon as it reaches
the banks.

WEDDING PARTY
ENDS IN JAIL

CHICAGO, March IA gay
wedding party was William Ma
kiecki's-gay for William and his
bride Irene, but rather dull for
Stanley Joriak, the best man.
Joriak still is in jail in Lake
Forest because the bridegroom was
able to false only enough money to
pay his own fine. Later he intends
to come back and buy the best
mans freedom.
The party started out from Chi
cago in an automobile, with bottle
in the rear seat as an antidote

They hoped to drive to Grown

were in Waukegan on the opposite

Learning their error, the bridal
party started to retrace their route

were halted by a traffic policeman
who took them all to jail
Makiecki explained that he and
Irene were hurrying to the altar and
the kind hearted judge sent for a

came for the poor best man, who
must remain in jail until he can
