MANY PUN TP SOW ALFALFA County Agent Receives Innuiries l-rom larl,H ' rs Regarding Crop H«v<tr»l AiuAuirAci* art now being real the County Aseut'B office L t |vo 10 the bj-l n * tboa * g, ’T ' alfalfa. In'iere.t of the furtnera In ...i, ( rop hue h.'en aroused to u gre.it stent by the Met that, although oUinav crop* were “I" 10 * 1 “ fall " r0 this year, alfalfa produced throe good ( ~,o pß of hay. all of which Ls in most heavier than the average clover or mixed hay. This is due In most r| |„.,anse of the drought resisting 'mditles of alfalfa. He exceptionally root system enables It to reach moisture at great depths and dry weather has little effect upon it. H i s probable that most of the alfalfa will be seeded in wheat stubble ground since the crop has now boon removed and the ground may be pre pared at any time. Where the wheat ground was weedy it Is suggested that the ground be plowed, while the lat,pr is unnecessary where the weeds are absettf. Thorough dicing will be sufficient where there are practically no weeds, t ultipackers should be us .,, ( | to pack the ground thoroughly. There is no danger of packing the ground excessively. The ground should be worked down in preparation for seeding as soon as possible and seeding should be done not later than August 15. It is sug gested that the seed be sown after, rather than before a rain. Heavy rains following seeding of alfalfa tone to pack the ground before the alfalfa can germinate and come up. Not less than ten pounds of Grimm alfalfa or fifteen pounds of common alfalfa should be sown on each acre AH seeds should be inoculated with dirt or with commercial culture before being From 200 to 300 pounds of acid phosphateTeown to tht acre at the time ot seeding will in sure the crop getting a good start before winter. Covering with a cult! packer is probably better than har rowing it in# Alfalfa should never bo sown on undtained or sour soil. It is tin douhtedly a waste of seed to sow it on jet, sour, or unfertile ground. o Li-—i ■' Favors Codification Os AU Statutes Os Indiana Indianapolis, duty 21. — (United Press t—A complete codification ot Indiana statutes with a view tc rouping all laws on a particular sub jei t into a separte satutc is recoin mended by Harry Leslie, of Lafayette. Leslie served as speaker of the house of representatives at the last session of the state legislature. Nothing would be of greaer pub lit service than for the state bat a■-Delation to undertake this task.’ aid Leslie. "Indiana has a body o! reputable, public spirited lawyers who would gladly give of their time tor this work. Naturally, such a codification timid not be accomplished at one ■ ision of the legislature. It would probably take ten years before the tremendous task was completed, but it would be time well spent. Th, work would be of inestimable value to the slate. •At every session of the legislature the bar association could present itsit ( oiumendations for the codification to be done at that session. There is no doubt that the legislature would accept the advice of the barristers gladly. "If such legislature at the end ol the session could say that it had codL. lied all the scattered laws on one sub ject its time would not have been wasted. "As it is now with the close of every session the public upbraids the law makers for adding more confusion to the maie. "We have only to observe the assortment of ditch laws now in effect to understand the confusion. Codify these laws and some of the eteranl points of controversy will be settled for all time." ——- —o SHELBYVILLE—James Shaner of thelbyville, does not believe that it pays to advertise. He obtained his wtfe by advertising, and then secured a divorce, though he had one divorce suit dismissed because of the high co t of legal se A ice's.

STOP WASTING-DR I FACE PAUPERISM By WILLIAM E. KNOX Preaident, American Bankers Asaocla* tion The American standard of living, the highest in the world, came easily in the past from the abundance of our

natural wealth, but if can be maintained in the future only by rirastic national economy in the use of that wealth. We have grown up to our resources. We can not afford to waste them any longer. Industri-

ally we have got to stop wasting, but even more so have we got to atop the wastefulness of our personal habita. The paramount challenge to education In America today calls for the effective teaching of personal economics -for education In the management of personal Incomes so that they will give every individual a good living during his productive years and provide certain security for the nonproductive years ot bis old age. Forty-four million people, two-fifths of our population, are gainfully employed in the United States, earning more than $80,000,000,000 annually. The management of the expenditure of this $60,000,000,000 annual pay check is the biggest and most important business in America. It has been estimated that upwards of $10,000.000.000 of this personal income is wasted annually. More than a billion, it is estimated, disappears in foolish speculation in fake schemes. The spirit of waste in America is a heritage of the past, but today the country has more than one hundred and fourteen million people to support and no nation’s resources can withstand extravagance indefinitely. An increase in population will mean a reduced average of personal wealth unless intelligent management maintains a progressively more economic utilization of the national income. To teach our people this is the task of education and it can not begin to meet the task a moment too soon. The advance of civilization makes man's existence a more and more serious business. Human responsibilities and duties increase each year. If progress has made life more abundant it has also made it more expensive. It is impossible, for most men to increase their real wages. Therefore they must meet their added responsibilities out of more economic employment of what they get. The schools must teach our young people so to manage their own personal affairs as to insure that they will lead lives that have an economic worth to society and to themselves. 1 Business must provide plans for its workers to enable them not only to . earn but also to save so that the • teaching of the schools will not prove , an illusion in practice. Do these things and we will have no pauperism in America. Neglect to do them and we will ultimately develop pau- ; perism,—a nation’s worst social crime. STRAIGHT TALKS WITH AUNT EMMY ON HAVING MONEY ON HAND •Aunty, why Is it such a good thing to have cash in the bank?” asked Jane of Aunt Emmy. “Mr. Wilkins was talking to father yesterday and ha said that every one onght to have a certain amount of cash on hand." "He meant that if you keep some of your money In the bank where it can be had any time you might be able to use it to excellent advantage,” said Aunt Emmy. “Every now and then a good opportunity presents itself to make a nice profit in some business deal if you only have the cash on hand so you can act quickly. Don't you remember about that quarrel the Brown brothers had over their inheritance and to settle it eold that house In Center Street? Old Peter Haskins bought it in for $3,000 and the next week sold it for $4,200. If he hadn't had the cash on hand he never could have made that handsome profit.” “Yes, Aunty, that's all right for Mr. Haskins, but I’m never likely to have $3,000 or $4,000 on hand." “Well there are other little ways to make a profit" stid Aunt Emmy. “For instance, you can always benefit by cash discounts. That is, if some one asks you to pay, say SIOO for a thing, yrffl Can usually get It for less, sometimes ten per cent leas, if you pay at once in cash. You always should have some of yonr money in cash so that you can take advantage of golden opportunities and cash discounts. —- A. B. Aymes.

The plan as outlined by the county agent is to purchase young purebred sires and place them wherever a farmer is found Jjbo is willing to undertake the proposlion. The bankers will advance the purchase price and take a note for one year >ithout interest. The idea is to make it as easy as possible for the farmers to procure thoroughbred*»< ,
