Seeding LeSpedeZa.

When broadcast, at least one
bushel or Is pounds of seed should
be soWn to the acre The seed should
be covered lightly as with a weeder.
If the seed are drilled in, less seed
are required. All old seed should be
tested for termination before sowing
to insure a good stand. The crop is
SoWn on small grain in February or
March. All varieties with the ex-
ccpton of the Korean terminate in
from four TO five weeks and this
should be considered when seeding.
The Korean terminates in about
two weeks.

7. AS far as possible, arrange your
major crops in rotations, with at
least one lcgumc in each rotation
to be pIoWcd under for soil-im-
proving purposes.
8. Break your land early and
plant promptly on good mellow
seed bed after the season opens.
Delayed planting frequently leads
to decreased yields.
Now, jumping from crops to live
stock farming, mere are few SuS-
Gestions:
Brood soWS that arc to larrow in
February should be provided with
plenty Of minerals and vitamins. If
winter pasture is not available, fur
nish Vitamin A by feeding yellow
corn or small amounts Of bright
green lcary legume hay.
Save out some good quality
: legume hay for the Weaned baby
calves and nursing cows. The lower
quality roughagc can be fed to the
older cattle and dry cows.

these suggestions:
Start chicks from blood-testcd
parents. Blood-teSting, if carefully
done, reduces the chances of pull
lorum disease TO minimum.
Never start over two chicks to
the square foot in the broodcr house.
Provide two half gallon drinking
fountains and two mash hoppers 4
inches high by inches wide and
5 feet long with reel for each 100
chicks started.
Overheating kills more chicks
each year than chilling. Be sure
to provide adequate ventilation Of
the brooder house without direct
drafts.
Provide a good chick starting
mash and maintain rigid sanitation.

BAT'A SHOE COMPANY FILES
SUIT

The Bat'a Shoe Company has filed
a. suit in the Federal District Court
in Washington, D. c., to prevent de-
portation of forty-five men and wo-
men who were brought to the plant
at Belcamp, Hartford county, as in
structors. The complaint states that
the company uses machinery not
familiar to American workmen, and
that the service of the forty-five in
structors are necessary for the prop
er running of the factory.
Originally the company received
permission from the Labor Depart
ment to employ one hundred foreign
instructors, but later the company
was advised that it would retain only
ten instructors and fifteen other
aliens in administrative capacities.
The Department further ruled that
the persons thus prevented from
working at the plant would be de-
ported If they were found to be still
working.
