ALFALFA CROP IMPROVES LAND FARMERS FIND Wayne County Agriculturists Begin Systematic Attempts to Build Up Farms Permanently. One of the best signs that the Wayne county farmers are taking steps to build up a permanent agriculture, is the unprecedented demand 'or alfalfa seed, indicating even at this early date, that the acreage will be nractlcally doubled this season. Although It its a well known fact that the best success can be obtained, by preparing a separate seed bed for crop, and getting rid of the weed seed by careful working of the ground, it is remarkable how many farmers are willing to take the risk of trying to obtain a crop of alfalfa in connection with another crop, or by sowing early, try to get a crop of hay the same year. Prepare Ground Late. The method that is being most tried by those who want to get two crops, is to sow a crop of oats, with the expectation of harvesting the oats, either for hay or grain, and then preparing the ground for a crop of alfalfa to be sown about the first of August. The theory of this plan is good, but the practice has its faults. Oats is known to be a heavy drawer on the plant food elements in the upper starta of the soil, and thus much of the fertility required by the alfalfa, has been removed before the seed is sown. Again, the early preparation of the soil for the oats, does not give a chance for many weed seed to sprout, and be killed off. When the ground is again stirred after the oats is removed conditions are right for a good growth of weeds before the alfalfa has much chance to make a growth, and since the weed problem is one of the greatest obstacles to be successful propagation of alfalfa, the chances are all against the success of the crop. Given ideal weather conditions, a soil free from weed seed, and a late soil, and this plan might be more feasible. Sow Seed With Corn. There are others who expect to sow alfalfa in their corn after the last cultivation. There is more to be said for this plan than the one just described. There is a clean seed bed, and the cultivation of the corn has conserved the moisture in the upper strata of soil. For this method to be most successful, the cultivation of the corn should be as level as possible. A number of local farmers have good stands of alfalfa secured in this manner, but there have also been a number of failures. The surest way to secure the crop It to prepare the ground early, and

keep it worked down and finely pulverized throughout the early summer. Each working will sprout a new supply of weeds, so that by sowing time, which should come from the middle of July to the first of August, most of the undesirable weed pests have been removed. Also under this system the moisture has been conserved in the soil and conditions are most favorable for the growth of the plant. Under any plan of sowing it must be remembered, that to succeed, the crop, must have an available supply of lime in the soil, good drainage must be provided, and only good, pure seed, planted. Children Coughs and Colds. Coughs and colds are the bane of childhood and cause mothers much more worry than any other of the minor diseases. These who keep Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at hand ready for instant use have less occasion to worry. Mrs. W. P. Agin, Bluffton, Ohio, says, "I always rely upon Chamberlain's Cough Remedy when the children have coughs or colds." Obtainable everywhere. adv. COTTONSEED MEAL USEFUL ON FARMS Five times as many farmers as at present, should be using cottonseed meal, according to specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. It has a slightly greater feeding value than linseed oil meal and the farmer is therefore recommended to secure prices on both and to use the one which happens to be the cheaper it the time. During the past winter cottonseed meal sold for $24 to $28 a ton while linseed oil meal cost about $38 a ton. Under such conditions the toeder using cottonseed meal had a RNat advantage over the farmer using Vflfteed oil meal. Cottonseed meal contains from 38 to 45 per cent protein and is theretore one of the most concentrated leedstuffs upon the market. There are In fact very few vegetable feeds which Have anything like this percentage of protein. Its value has perhaps been nore thoroughly appreciated in Europe than in this country despite .he additional cost of shipping it ibroad. During , 1915. for example, ibout 40,000 tons of the meal wre exjorted to Europe. Much of what renained in this country was used as 'ertilizer, so that it has been estimatid that American cattle were fed less han one-half of the total quantity of neal produced in the country. There s, however, a growing tendency at the resent time to use the meal as a supilementary feed. k Wonderful Discovery From South America Ponce de Leon" Fountain of Youth Crystals. Just out. Try it.

ROCKEFELLER KNEW OF MINE CONDITIONS CHICAGO, April 24. To back up charges that J. D. Rockefeller had complete knowledge of conditions in j the Colorado mine field, despite his I testimony before the commission on industrial relations, that he had kept his hands off and knew nothing of the strike developments, the commission's local headquarters made public correspondence exchanged by Mr. Rockefeller and Earl Bowers, chairman of the executive department of the Colorado Fuel and Mine company. The accusation was made by Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the commission, in Kan-; sas City last night. The correspond- i ence made public bears out the charge. The correspondence was secured at the Standard Oil offices in New York , under subpoena. The letters show that J Mr. Bowers informed Rockefeller of ; the unrest in the Colorado mines. j On September 29, 1913, a letter sent ; to Rockefeller, said in part: "Hays, vice president of the United Mine Workers, together with representatives in this state are the principal mischief makers. Old Mother Jones has been on the ground for two weeks, but Saturday we understand, the governor ordered her taken to the state lines and ordered not to return."
