FARMERS LAUD
 TREFOIL AS BIG SEED DISCOVERY

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 30-(UP)- Considered a weed five years ago, birdsfoot trefoil is returning farm CTS a dollar pound for its seed and promises to become major discov- cry for dairymen in, the United States.
 Walter $. Mason, associate Albany county agricultural agent, said the plant makes excellent pasturage Other local experts enthusiastically declare the discovery will help re- claim hillside farms, restore pasture lands and stimulate areas where cattle-raising has been retarded for lack of a dependable hay crop.
 The plant, bearing 8 yellow-o or ange pea-like flower, Is common in Albany and other surrounding coun- ties, but apparently has not gained widespread growth in any other section of the country.
 Scientists Study It
 The manager of large estate called the plant "the greatest seed discovery in years" Mason said "Trefoil seems to be the answer to the farmers prayers for an ideal Self-seeding and perpetuating hay"
 Scientists at several colleges throughout the country are studying tref0il, but have not passed judg- ment on 1t yet. However, they re- port the plant contains slightly less protein than alfalfa, 50 per cent more vegetable fats, more fiber and phosphorus.
 Trefoil Is rather obscure among botanical records, in which 1t is listed as 'lotus corniculatus." It or iginated in Europe or Asia and has been considered a valuable pasture plant in northern Europe.
 Looks Like Birds Foot
 The seed is dark brown and comes an pods. These pods give the ap- pearance of a birds foot, and thus give the plant its name. Several years are required to establish the trefoil and bacterial inoculation of the soil is necessary.
 TrefOil generates nitrogen in the soil and does best when planted with other hay or even granis. Some of the trefoil in Albany county stands 30 inches high, and the tim 0thy with it grows foot higher.
 Growers hail it for these reasons: Its usefulness as both pasture and hay: its permanency; it's thriftinesS on poor soil and benefit to infertile land: its benefit to a companion crop: great resistance to drouth; high yield and general hardness.

Cooper vs. Ruffing
 In Series Opener

National league pennant winners, was jammed to capacity. In addi- tion to the 34,000 regular seats, B. GOO standing room only tickets had been sold an hour and a half be- fore game time.
 The $1.15 bleacher seats, where the line started forming last Friday before RedbirdS had won the pen- nant, and the $330 right field pavilion were filled as the Car dinals began long hitting drill shortly after Il a. m. C.W.T. (Noon E.W.T.)
 They had been hitting an hour when the Yankees, led by Manager Joe Mccarthy came on to the field. Jimmy Brown, Sparkplug of the St. Louis inf1eld, stepped out of the batting cage and shook hands with each Yankee. There were only 8 few cheers for the Bronx Bombers- 1t was strictly St. Louis Crowd.
 The Cardinals with Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter driving a few over the left field fence, and Wal ker Cooper, brother of the Cardinal pitching ace, sending several into the right field bleachers, finished batting practice at 1920 D. m. and the American League champions took over.
 There was a lot of horse play as the Cardinals went through their drill but the Yankees were all bllsi- ness.
 The infield, long the worst in the majors, was in treacherous shape. It was baked so hard that ground CTS were taking all sorts of crazy bounces.
 Manager Billy Southworth said the Cardinals were ready"
 There will be no lineup changes" he added, and reiterated that his rookie mound star, Johnny Beazley, a 21-game winner in his first major league season, would pitch the sec ond game tomorrow. Mccarthy still refused to reveal his second game choice but Ernie (Tiny) Bon ham appeared likely to get the call.
