Time to Grow Alfalfa

The best times to SOW alfalfa as
a rule are early in spring and early
in fall. The special point Is to
give the young plants a chance to
start without the handicap Of the
sunshine of midsummer. How al
falfa will come through such a
period depends very largely on
what the weather is. If the sum-
mer chances to be fairly cloudy,
that is with no long periods of
blazing sunshine all day and dry
ing winds. then the spring sown
certainly have a better chance, but
if the alfalfa is sown in late sum-
mer and the fall is fairly favorable
it will come on. Many favor spring,
fitting the land as well as possible
and sowing as early as 1t can be
worked so that the plants may get
good start before midsummer

Foreign Clovers

In recent years most of the red
clover seed imported to this coun-
try has come from France and
Poland. Other countries that have
sent seed here are Italy, Canada.
Chile, England and Germany. The
United States imports more red clo-
yer seed than it exports.
American winters proved difficult
for many of the imported clovers,
the tests showed. Wherever winter
conditions are likely to be severe,
most Of the imported red clovers
will suffer more than the better do
nestle lots. says the department.
The foreign clovers, when they
pass the winters successfully, may
give fair to good first cutting, but
the second crop is nearly always in
ferior and is often so poor as not
to warrant cutting. The foreign
clovers often die Immediately after
the first cutting.

"Straight Burrows"

Many modern farm plowing imple-
ments really contribute to soil ero-
sion when they are used for
straight rows over sloping fields,
rather than making the rows fol-
low the contours of the land. This
was strikingly demonstrated on a
Kansas field. With straight rows
20 per cent of a 3-inch rain ran
off, while with the rows following
the contours of the slopes only 16
per cent of the rain ran off.
To correct erosion conditions, a
new cultivating machine has been
developed which leaves the field in
a "pitted" condition. The shOvels
of the machine alternately go VI
and down and each pit" dug by
the shovels holds about three gal
Ions of water. This allows the wa
ter to soak into the ground, rather
than run off.

Seek Wheat Resistant
to Yellow Mosaic Evil

Kansas farmers have another
wheat disease to fight.
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture crop disease specialists
this year discovered yellow mosaic,
mysterious new disease which
completely destroys the wheat it
attacks, near Salina, Kan, where a
40-acre field was a total loss. A
small amount of the disease was
found also near Chapman and near
Manhattan, Kan. These are the
only places where the disease was
found this year.
The department will begin expert
ments at once to find wheats re-
sistant to this mosaic, as this has
been the best method of combating
the green mosaic of wheat occur
ring east of the Mississippi river.
The wheat specialists cannot tell
as yet. where the disease came
from, how 1t spreads, nor how rap
idly 1t may increase.

Ways of Making
Fence Posts Last
COal-Tar Creosote One of
Best PreServativeS
Available.

BY PROF. c. II. GUIsE. Department OF
Forestry. state College Of Agriculture.
Cornell n. Y.-wNU Service.
Most common timbers rot in con-
tact with the soil and yet these
woods have many uses on the farm
if they are given a preservative
treatment against decay.
Preservative treatments are urged
only for those species which decay
quickly, such as red oak and hard
maple. With others, the value of
treatment is questionable.
Coal-tar creosote is the most sat
isfactory preservative from every
standpoint. This material, although
infammable and poisonous to fungi
which causes decay, can be ham
died without danger.
To merely paint fence post with
the preservative, as some do. will
prove of almost no value. The pre-
servative must be forced into the
wood.
The fence post should first be
cut and framed to the final dimen-
sions before 1t is treated. and all
bark removed. Moisture should be
got rid of by thorough air-season-
ing. Either round or split posts
may be used. The posts are then
immersed for from five to eight
hours in hot creosote. at temper
ature ranging from 200 to 900 de-
grees Fahrenheit. A 10O-gallon oil
drum makes a satisfactory tank.
When the heat is shut off the posts
are kept in the cooling creosote for
six to twelve hours. A single post
will absorb about one-third gallon
of creosote, worth about 10 to Il
cents.

Safeguards in Bidding for
Slams

THE percentage is definitely
l. against slam bids which do not
offer better than an even chance of
success. But when small slam bid
has more than a $3.50 chance in its
favor, the bid is sound.
To try for small slam, the com.
bined hands of partnership must
show at least Z honor-tricks with
favorable distribution for the suit
bid. When partners hold Z Of the
outstanding honor-tricks. they can
surely account for at least three OF
the total aces. Thus they are guar.
anteed against more than one ace
being held by opponents.
1t is rarely advisable to bid for a
grand slam. A grand slam which Is
set by one trick accounts not only
for the loss of a game but for the
sacrifice of a small slam as we'll
Grand slam should be bid only when
partners are assured of at least s
honor-tricks with number of addi-
tional playing tricks and no posi-,
BILE losers in trumps.
Because Of the lack Of distribu.
| tiOnal or ruffing values, even q small
slam bid at no trumps is an ex-
tremely precarious venture. When
considering a slam, If possible Sc
cure your partners cooperation in
arriving at a suit which will offer a
safer road to your goal than the
hazardous no trump.
Another warning must be given
against a very common fault. That
is against trying for slams on dis.
tributional values alone. When as
sisting your partners declared
trump bid, even though you can
count sufficient distributional tricks
seemingly to cover a contract of six
or even seven odd, unless your
honor count assures you that your
opponents cannot hold as many as
. honor-tricks (Which may possibly
be two aces) the slam Is too great
gamble.
Slams may be often and success
fully bid by player whose ear is
constantly attuned to catch every
encouraging note in the bidding
Indirect slam differences occur
throughout all the normal bidding
processes of the forcing system
Some indirect slam differences are
Opening forcing suit bids of two
Forcing take-out bids.
A raise from one to three nc

with three no trump.
A raise from one to four in a ma

Use of the Yardstick in
Slam Bidding

With the clear-cut count of honor
tricks shown by all original bids and
take-outs, regulation and forcing,
which the wonderful consistency of
the forcing system makes available,
it Is not difficult to arrive at sound
slam bids.
In all situations where you are
considering a slam, because great
honor strength between your part
ner's hand and your own can be pre-
cisely accounted for, the use of
the yardstick will quickly tell you
the most important thing you need
to know-that is, the extent Of de
fensive (honor-trick) strength held
against you.
Considering that the total number
Of honor, or defensive tricks in a
deal is s to S1a. you must realize
that If you can account for Z to Tx
honor-tricks in your partnership
hands, you can assume that there is
no more than one defensive trick
against you.
Coupled with this assurance, If
you are bidding a suit. you must
have the further assurance of i'm
pregnable trump strength between
your partnership hands with the
added factor of other distribu-
tional values. Without distribu-
tional values or strong sequence
honors, slam bids are not more
than 80 per cent successful and
therefore should not be essayed.

The manner in which she greeted

come TO her with warm eyes, a
little awkwardly but manifestly in
a friendly spirit, and had contrived
10 suggest that bygones be bygOnes.

All aer life she would be glad that

chosen the better part. The sting
of shame In IL was that she did
not know what the Texan himself
thought of IL. He had come TO

1888 mills, according to estimates by
state officials Monday and examina-
ton of records in the office of State

The increase, one official pointed
out, is due principally to a threaten
ed Is to 20 per cent drop in the as

personal property.
Although Matt P. Desmond, deputy

definite or estimated figures on the

levy would be lower than last year
One estimate by a state official
