AJhJ3 Process Aid

YEARS ago farmers were urged to give serious
attention to the growing of alfalfa as a
substitute for hay because of the great anina,
food value of the plant and the fact that two
and sometimes three, crops year might he
grown.
That campaign of education is bearing fruit
now In this year of severe drought, for late
Summer rains and the remaining months of
the growing season in some States make It
possible to turn to alfalfa to solve in part the
serious shortage of forage crops.
All acres taken out of production under corn
and wheat restriction programs have been re-
leased for use in raising alfalfa.
Alfalfa has one drawback. however, which
makes it inadvisable to plant it in the same
field for more than very few years in rotation
The roots of the plant drive deeply into the
subsoil and draw heavily on the moisture. Un-
less unusually heavy rains fall to restore this
moisture. continued growing of alfalfa can re-
suit in serious damage to the fields in which
it is grown. unless other crops are substituted
every three or four years.

Rod squirmed.
I'm SO sorry, Hen-er-y," she was COO
ing softly.
But Dassie didn't seem half so sorry
as Henry himself. Gosh, Dassie," he
finally blurted out, what you're asking
is out of the question"
Dassie instantly abandoned the role
of siren. What do you mean?" she
demanded suspiciously.
Henry drew a deep breath. "Remem-
ber, told you the boys down at the
bank were pooling together for lodge
pin for our president? Remember my
saying they left all arrangements to
me?"
DasSie waited noncommittal.

continued, II forgot all about calling for
the pin. And I didn't discover I hadn't
it until was half way through my
presentation speech tonight. Do you
see, Dassie?" he begged anxiously.
Il can't say that 1 do," was Dassie's
frigid retort
Henry dabbed at his brow. II was
in bad fix" He turned to Rod for a
more sympathetic understanding. There
was nothing for me to present, and
everybody was waiting for me to present
it, So when I suddenly thought of the
cigarette case, II just reached in my
pocket and-and handed it to him.
"YOU gave my present away!" Dassie's
indignation exploded. 1T didn't
mean anything more to you than that!
Well, write this in your diary, Henry
Todhunter: Beginning this minute,
you're as good as out of my life"
Though you couldn't help feeling sorry
for the gorilla, Rod could see Dassie
was doing the sensible thing. Just the
same, Dassie's rage made him wonder
how Evelyn would react should he face
her caseless. With set jaw, Rod turned
to Henry. I'm afraid We'll have to have
that case back, Todhunter.'
Some people will say anything for a
laugh" Henry offered freezingly.
Didn't you just hear me say I gave it
to the president of our bank? If I
myself out on my ear"
If you can't ask for it back" Rods
expression was formidable, then how
about stealing it, Todhunter?"
Henry's mouth opened and closed
wordlessly. II wouldn't like to do that"
he protested vehemently.
Succor for Rod came from an un-
fOreSeen source ooh yes Won would
Henry Todhunter" There was a ring
of fnalty in Dassies voice.
Lets get started, you two!" Dassie
pulled her wrap snugly about her.
Rod looked at Dassie, admiration burn
ing in his eyes. Why, she actually was
willing to trek along! He reached for
her nearest hand and squeezed it hard.
"And here I always thought you were
such a nasty brat" he murmured husk-
lily. His spirits soaring unaccountably,
he left to phone Club Lido again.
Rod turned from the phone feeling
flatter than last nights beer. He had
talked with Evelyn, or more correctly,
Evelyn had talked to him.

MEXICAN POLO
RALLY FAILS
/. . To MP U.s..
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL
South of the Rio Grande today
a bewildered FOLLOWING public
wonders what manner Of men
these Americanos must be to beat
the pride of Mexico as the men
from Montezuma's halls were
beaten here yesterday, 1913.
Twice in succession the Army
four has defeated these swarthy-
skinned Sportsmen who ride with
the skill and daring of vaqueros
muy grande, but, who alack, have
not the coordinated team skill of
the horsemen of the North.
Army rode superior horses and
save for occasional sallieS by the
Superbly mounted Captain Ora
cias and the hard,spurring Nava,
stayed on the ball better to domi-
nate the field. Yet in the last
half, through four desperate chuk-
kers when the Mexican team
rallied and played smashing,
courageous polo, the American
team was checked. Checked is
hardly the word for what de-
veloped on that hoof-torn field
of play.
The Americans were outplayed
in the last four chukkerS, 4 goals
to 2. Not only did the MexicanS
outscore Army, but in the heat OF
action welded their team play,
perfected their tamdemS, and con-
fidence born of success put power
in their mallets. They hit harder
and played better polo in the last
half of this game than they have
since coming into the northlanG.
Capt. Jose Gracias, riding a
chestnut sunbeam through the
last seven and one-half minutes
of play flashed brilliantly up and
down the field, an inspired cen
taur. Out of his success in that
last period showed encouragement
to the rest Of the team, and a
boom in polo in Mexico. Captain
Gracias rode away from the thor
oughbred mounts of the Ameri-
cans in that last chukker, and in
the name Of craftsmanship, don't
shrug and say that the Yankees
let down. They didn't. They were
better team, but they had to
fight and play to win.
Although the Americans have
won two games, the third game
will be played on Sunday.
