Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Fret Tmnress;ous

MANY persons argue that first i'm
pressions are the ones that are
likely to stick in the mind of a new
acquaintance. While most Of us do
readjust our first impressions, the fact
remains that readjustments are not
easy to make. Human beings are ca
pable of carrying an enormous num-
ber of prejudices which constantly in
fluence their judgments. So you will
be safe to abide by the rule of first
impressions.
What are the personality attributes
which 60 TO make up first impressions? :?
The one that stands in position num-
ber one is dress. An appropriately
dressed moron can travel a long way
on sheer appearance.
The trait occupying number two is
voice. And we'll 1t should. For your
voice is your transportation facility
for your ideas. You naturally want
them to get over with the least pos
sible damage in transit. The first
things you say and how you say them
rank among the most lasting of first
impressions.
Trait number three Is called tact.
This word has many meanings. For
tact has many forms. Whatever else
it may be, tactful person would not
on first acquaintance begin talking
authoritatively. Our nerves are sensi-
tive to such things, for they lie so
close TO our inner sense of self.

falfa, consult an expert as to the best
for your particular soil, temperature
and location. The best seed never has
over 2 per cent impurities, and the i'm
purity, of course is the number Of
seeds of weed pests present.
The fact that this forage plant is
distributed over most Of the world
shows how adaptable to climate ana
soil it is. Naturally. where the soil and
drainage are just right. the crop will
be abundant. Alfalfa loves lime and
requires more for its needs than any
other forage crop. 1t is heavy feeder
Many methods are used for sowing
the seeds. Some like cle drill with
q seeder attachment. others broad
cast the seed by hand. still others use
what Is known as hand seeder and the
seeds covered with rush-drag.
The success of the crop often de-
pends on getting the seeds planted
early enough in the Spring so that
the young. tender plants will have a
good start before the rains or drough.s
come along.
The yields are much larger If the
cutting Of the crop Is postponed until
the plants are in heavy bloom. The
average yield per acre of seed is from
two to four bushels. This amount is
profitable to the planter.
All classes Of farm animals are fond
of this forage plant, which is a men,
ber Of the clover, bean and pea fam
lily. AS a pasture plant. it is highly
appreciated. Care must be taken that
it Is not overgrazed the first year.
Animals are wont to overeat this IA
vorite plant. sheep and cattle espe-
cially. They have what is known as
"bloats" from overeating. Horses
mules and hogs merely take on obesity
Weeds come first in the enemy list
Of alfalfa. The dodder. famous para
site, Is dreaded foe. Kentucky blue
grass and quackgrass are two more,
GraSshoppers are the most formid-
able pests. You have to feed them
poison to check their onslaughts. The
alfalfa weevil is a determined enemy
in the West, controlled by cutting the
young plants and letting the weevlls
perish with the heat, as the cuttings
dry in the sun.
Last but not least are the ground
squirrels, prairie dogs. mice and 60
pliers, which try the patience of the
Western farmer These creatures feast
upon the roots of the plants Poison
ing. trapping, and drowning by irriga-
ton check these enemies You can
see that even a worthy forage plant
has many handicaps to hurdle in its
effort TO make success in life.

think I'll look around little and see
if can find another home, just in
case I should suddenly make up my
mind to move"
Now, Chatterer didn't need to look
around. He knew every hole in the
trees anywhere in that vicinity. In
fact, he knew every hole for a con-
siderable distance. Just the same, he
made the rounds once more, to LOOK
them over, and none suited him, with
one exception There was another
tree, also partly dead. in which was a
hole quite as good as the one he was
now occupying. There was only one
trouble with it. 1t was occupied.
Spooky the Screech Owl was living
in it. Spooky had moved over there
from the Old Orchard early in the
Summer and he was still living there
If only there were some way of
getting that fellow out of there, I be-
lieve l would move in" said Chatterer
to himself. Yes, sir, 1, believe I'd
move in. There are no other store
rooms in that tree, but 1 know hol-
low stump close by, and hollow log.
They would make very good store
houses. / wonder how 1 can get
Spooky out of there II I could give
him a good scare he might leave and
not come back
Chatterer went back home and
thought this matter over. He tried
and tried to think of some way to
make Spooky the Screech Owl leave
that comfortable home of his, but
not an idea that was worth anything
at all come to him.
If only l were big enough to drive
him out, I'd do it. But I'm not he

Chatterer Worries
s A RULE Chatterer the Red
Worries come to one and all.
Dull and clever. big and small.
Old Mother Nature.

SA RULE Chatterer the Red
" Squirrel is not given to worry
~ ing. No, sir, Chatterer is not
Il 4 the worrying kind. One rea-
son is that he is smart and he knows
that he Is smart. He thinks himself
smart enough to avoid things that
might cause him worry. However, for
once Chatterer really was worrying.
The worst Of it was. he didn't know if
there was any real cause for worry.
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy had visited the tree in which
Chatterer had made his home, and
Farmer Browns Boy had driven his
ak into the base of that tree There
was just one blow, but that one blow
was the cause of all Chatterer's wor-
ries. He couldn't forget it.
What did it mean?" he would ask
himself over and over. will they
come back and cut this tree down?
I've seen them cut trees down and,
now that l think of it, they were dead
trees, like this one. What would I do
If they should come and cut this tree
down after have filled my store
houses with nuts and seeds? What
could I do? 1t would be dreadful to
have that happen when it was too late
to get a new supply of food
The more Chatterer thought OF this
possibility, the more he worried The
days passed and Farmer Brown and
Farmer Browns Boy did not return
1t was close to harvest time now. The
nuts and the acorns would soon be
rattling down and the pine cones
would soon be ready to cut. In fact
they were practically ready now
Chatterer likes to cut the cones from
the trees before they have opened
Therefore he always cuts them a
little bit green. II he waited until
the cones were open the seeds would
fall out and be scattered, and so hard
to find. BY cutting the cones before
they have opened he is sure of having
a supply of seeds all in one place, and
it is no trouble at all for him to open
those cones with his sharp teeth
So Chatterer was just about ready
to begin work, and the nearer the
time to begin approached the more
worried he became. He just couldn't
forget that visit from Farmer Brown
and Farmer Browns Boy.
Il suppose I'm foolish" he would
say to himself Yes. sir, / suppose
I'm foolish to worry. Farmer Browns
Boy may have just happened to hit
this tree, but somehow 1 can't rid
myself of the feeling that they'll come
back some day and cut this tree. !

The first record of planting alfalfa
in the United States is an account of
an attempt in 1885 in Georgia. Along
about 1850, some seeds were taken to
California from Chile, and from this
date the steady progress of the plant
has been watched with interest.
1t is now one of the most impor-
tant forage crops of the United States,
and is only exceeded by timothy alone
or mixed with red clover. 1t is making
such rapid strides that the acres
planted to alfalfa are mounting to un-
believable numbers In the year 1929
