SWEET CLOVER
FOR PASTURE
[Continnsd from Fira Paael

L CCHftHHCn yIOM FHSf EuOf
d. C.. when the seed is sown later
than the mi6dle OF February. Since
the use of unhulled seed has usually
been attended with failure in the
northern sections of the United
States, farmers in this area have
been advised to use the hulled seed
which is the, kind most generally
sold throughout the country as a
whole.
The usual rate of seeding is from
Is to 20 pounds per acre, although
this quantity may be reduced if al
sike or timothy should be mixed
with the sweet clover as a means of
providing an earlier pasture than
this clover will furnish the first year
when seeded alone. Sweet clover
that is sown this spring will not
make sufficient growth to permit its
being pastured until the latter part
of August or the first week in Sep
tember, but the following spring the
crop will be ready for pasturing by
the first or second week in May.
Lime and seed incubation are two
very important factors in the sue
cessful culture of sweet clover, and
il is also a recognized fact that
good seed is the basis of profitable
returns from any crop, and this is
true especially with regard to Glow
er seed. For this section of the Uni
ted States it is recommended that
the white blossom variety be used.
If the market price for whole milk
continues to decline in this area.
1airymen will be forced to consider
more than ever before the growing
of those pasture and hay crops
which will result in the lowering of
The cost of producing milk, and
sweet clover and alfalfa seem to be
Dne of the answers to this problem.
More farmers in Kent county each
year are making use of these le-
sumes, as indicated by the increas-
ID acreage of these crops along with
other clOvers.

1T WOULD SURPRISE YOU
If YOU KNEW ITS POWER

The Delaware Safety Council de-
clares that under the hood of every
automobile are anywhere from a
score to one hundred horses, dOcile
and tame in the hands of some driv-
ers--wild and dangerous to life,
limb and property in the hands of
others.
Drivers in automobile accidents do
not comprise any particular class
Distinguishing them from their fell
low men. All classes of people drive
cars and consequently all class Of
drivers figure in accidents. Hurry
ing past signal lights just fasting
red. cutting i'm and out of traffic,
Ignoring stop signs, passing on
curves and near crests of hills, to
mention only few of his driving
characteristics, Mr.. Rush A. Long,
insultingly shouts, CLEAR the way
here | come. Unfortunately for
innocent victims, the streets are full
of Rush A. LOng's-sO are the high
ways.
Many motorists believe that they
should consider two of the four
wheel brakes on the car as "spares"
to be used only in emergencies just
as extra tires are used. The use of
fOur-wheel brakes in this manner
would entail general reduction in
rates of speed. Stopping car by
brakes is like a tug-of-war in which
the brakes virtually pull again the
force created when the car is put
into motion.
According to the Council there is
nothing better designed to create
accidents and general confusion
than the driver who weaves in and
out of traffic. The driver who does
it is unsoclal, discOurteous and dan
gerOus-a veritable road hog. For
every yard of headway made by that
type of motOrist there are scores OF
other drivers thrown into confusion
and the orderly progress of traffic
is disturbed and delayed.
In view of the fact that streets and
highways are built and maintained
for the convenience of all motorists
no one driver has the right to dis
regard the rights of others by acting
as if the streets were for his own
exclusive use.

An announcement still is awaited

regulations will be put into effect

UnOfficially, experts there have
pointed out that with a list of the
supposed gold-hoarders in hand the
Treasury would be in a position
either to publish the names or to
turn over the list to the Department
of Justice for possible prosecution
under the anti-hoarding act.
Although there was an absence of
official comment upon the changing
of the deadline for sending in the
names of hOarders, il was said in
one reliable quarter that the action
had been taken in response to many
requests for more time in compiling
the lists.

and create unemployment, without
destroying the capital and earning
power of the nation.
This destructive process has been
going on for three years. No good
fairy is coming. out of the clouds
and create employment. The people
are going to have to create it for
themselves. The good fairy will be
their own desire to do something.
Every day that those of us who
can afford to, delay in furnishing
employment for needed and neces-
saTy work, our national wealth is
reduced, taxes are increased for
charitable enterprises and the day
draws nearer when there will be
nothing left to give for charity, and
government itself will face bank
ruptcy through inability to collect
taxes. There are millions of individ-
Gals and industries whose premises
are sadly in need of repairs. The
time to do that work is now. Delay
is expensive "econpmiZing."
