BURDEN OF FOOD SUPPLY FALLS

UPONAMERICA U. S. Must Make Good Pledge to Supply Allies, Hoover Says on Return to U. S. NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The United States will share with the allies their sacrifice or food as well as blood in the cause of world democracy, derlrri llfrh.prt C. Hoover, federal food

administrator on his arrival here, enroute to . Washington, after a trief

visit to England and France.

Asserting that "we have 10 mane pood." a pledge to this effect, which he had given to the allied food adminTstrator3 while sitting "at a common table in a common cause," Mr. Hoover said that, to do so, America next year v ill have to supply the allies 4.000,000,000 pounds of fats, -900,-000,000 pounds of beet products, 500,000,000 bushels of cereals, and 1,500,000 tons of sugar. However, Mr. Hoover added, beginning Sept. 1. there will be no need for drastic food rationing in the allied countries, except . in the case of sugar and beef. In a statement dealing with his observations abroad, Mr. Hoover said in part: "The harvests in FranW England and Italy are better than one could expect In consideration of the tremendous drain of man-power to the front. This Is due to the women. There is no sight in the world that would appeal to the American heart more than ihnt rt iha litprallv millions Of women

doing all the work of getting in the 'harvonta whil thplr men are at work

in the shops and on the battle line

driving back the Germans. Burden Falls on Us. "iTnnn North America falls the bur

den of fond sunnlv. While Canada can

export 100.OCO.000 bushels of grain this year, the major part of the allied nrnirrnm fnr next vear falls upon US.

We have also to feed our own enormous army. We can do it if we simply have the will to live with every rnnnmv and to waste nothing.

In order that we may build up a surplus of wheat thi3 year, as against possible crop failures such as we had last year, we have decided to mix 20 per cent, of other grains with wheat flour in all the countries fighting Germany. We can not ask for better bread than France. "The bread situation in the United States will be much easier than last year and In allied countries an enormous imnrnvement. Bread to them is

of the first importance, as it comprises 50 per cent, of their food Intake. By supplying them with bread and fats In scuch amounts as will not necessitate rationing on their side we can rest assured that their courage and strength in the war will remain high during next winter. Bad Winter In Europe. "It will be a bad winter in Europe, rieonusn rnnl will h much Rhorter

there than even last winter, and the health of their populations cannot be maintained if they in addition are to bo also restricted in their allowance of bread and fats. "The German drive and the apprehension of famine last spring brought a great deal of discouragement to the civilian population of England, France and Italy. Their arrival, however, of the American army, Its instant magnificent performance In action, the gradual overcoming of the submarine with the assistance of our navy, together with our assurances of all necessary food, have put a new heart intn the allfps KinPA the war hpan I

have not seen their spirit so high or

tneir retcrraination to nnisn ine jod ko fixed ns it is todav.

"The only real difficulty in the United States is sugar, and that is a hhortage that can not be helped. We cannot take ships from our army or allies and send them to the East Indies to fetch us candy and sweet drinks, and we will simply have to divide the West Indian sugar with the allies and put up with what we have."

p. J. C. Kline.

On account of the recent rains and on account of the lateness of the seacr, it i time that the alfalfa crop is

if it jreta sufficient srrowth to

withstand the winter before the frost

oiriUoo it. The value or aliaiia nay

r,t h nvprestlmated. Expert

ment3 have shown that the leaves of

the hay were equal to wneat Dran m riKir vniiift when fed to dairy and

beef cattle. AU classes of live stock on the farm greatly relish alfalfa hay.

Even the chickens and hogs tnat usuoiw iin nnt eat hav seem very fond of

it. It is said that brood sow3 can be alfalfa with a small

nf srrain. Sheep fed alfalfa

hay and ensilage have an ideal ration Roil Suited for Alfalfa.

It does not make so very much difrror,f.o what tvnfi of soil this crop is

grown on provided it is well drained,

contains plenty or organic matter ana is not sour. Experiments have shown that alfalfa thrives as well on a sandy soil as on the heavy types of soil.

Liberal applications of barnyard manure applied one year previous to sowing not only increases the fertility of the soil, but greatly Improves the

physical condition as well, i ne greatest objectlotr to applying manure the same year the alfalfa is sown is that manure always adds a large number nf wheat needa tr thn soil, but grow

ing some cultivated crop first, such as early potatoes or corn, and then sowing the alfalfa most of the wheat seeds will have sprouted. Sour Soilaand LImlr.g. Not many" soils in Wayne County are acid. Although soils examined in different parts of Wayne County show that the soil is slightly acid. Alfalfa

is a lime-loving plant, and uniess im element is present it usually does not thrive so well. It is a well established

fact that alfalfa will not thrive on sour sois. The main reason for this ia that thA harteria which erOWS on

the roots are not able to live in a

condition where acidity exicts, witnnnt. their existence the nlant Is unable

to draw nitrogen from the air and con

sequently does not grow properly. Any

acid sou can easily De oetectea py me iib nf hlii litmus naner. If a por

tion of the soil is made into a ball by

moistening slightly . and a paper oi blue litmus placed in the center of the ball turns red or pink, the soil is acid. If no change occurs on the paper the soil is neutral. Usually where there is Inidcations of acidity an application of two tons of ground lime stone per acre will sweeten the soil. Where dewherri5 and the sorrel are found

growing abundantly such soil is usu

ally acid, although not always.

Prenarina the Seed Bed.

rn rpnn whv sn manv farmers

fail with alfalfa is because the seed bed was not properly prepared. For cnrinir snwirf thA tfrmind should be

plowed as early in the spring as pos

sible ana ror summer sowing me e-ronnd shoul be dowed shortly after

corn planting time. After spring sow

ing Is plowed, tne neia snoum oe reasonably free of weed seeds before the crop is sown. A nurse crop is sometimes pown with the spring sow

ing, but never with summer sowing. Summer sowing, is probably the most certain method of securing a stand of

alfalfas An early potato field wen cul

tivated makes an ideal seea Dea ior alfafa. The sowing of alfalfa in corn and wheat is not a very certain method of getting a stand, although a few

farmers clam good results rrom tnis practice.

Inoculation. Tnnoulation is no loneer thought to

be necessary, but in most cases it has

been found to be an absolutely necessity. But inoculation in this case is merely meant the introduction of bacteria, that work on alfalfa roots, to a

field where alfalfa has never Deen grown before.

The two methods used in inoculation are the culture method and the

soli method. In the soli method, about I

two inches on the soil rrom an oia j . , o i m oMim thA mnts I

of sweet clover is removed and a quan

tity of the sou rrom unaerneain used for inoculating other fields. This soil Bhould be scattered - broad cast by hand and applied at the rate 200 to 300 pounds per acre. It should be applied on a cloudy day or in the evening, and harrowed in immediately as sun .light kills these bacteria. By the culture method a pure alfalfa culture can be secured from U. S. Dep't of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. This material is scattered over the kduH ami then the seed is dried in a

shady place. Enough alfalfa bacteria

c-rnnnd This method or inoculation

in TYinst. rases does not- cive as good

results as the soil jnethod. The bac

teria are sometimes aeaa wnen mey arrive and instructions are not followed. Sowing the Bed. Northern grown alfalfa Is usually more hardy and stands the winter better than the southern variety. Do not use seed from irrigated fields. Grimm alfalfa or nay other northern

grown seed produced upder dry farming conditions usually gives good re

sults. The seed snouia De sown rate of 15 or 20 lbs. per acre. This may seem like a large amount of seed.

but many 6eed3 do not gennmsw they contain hard 6eed coats. The alfalfa ought to be thick enough on the

ground to prevent blue grass r ceu. from crowding it out. The seed can k. nw hmad cast bv hand or with

an ordinary grain drill that has a seeder attachment. Care should be - n .nwini? with the drill, that the

seed is not sown too deeply. An Inch

of covering is sufficient Do not pas

ture the first year, and leave a gro'wia of 6 or 8 inches for winter protection.
