LOAN CAMPAIGN SET FOR APRIL Short-term Notes Are Planned for New Victory Loan Issue.

(By Associated Press) - WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. Shortterm notes, maturing in from one year

to five yean, would be offered In the forthcoming Victory Liberty . Loan

campaign. Instead of long-term notes, under a tentative agreement reached by the house ways and means committee to fix the terms of the loan by legislation rather than to give Secretary Glass wide discretionary powers to determine, as he had asked.

At the same time Secretary Glass, In

a statement, explained that the intensive popular campaign would be conducted as planned, . regardless of the terms arranged by congress, and that It would start not later than April 21. The secretary had asked congress for authority to Issue either bonds or notes as market conditions at the time miKht

warrant, but members of the committee concluded that a new loan issue would necessarily carry with it such a high rate or Interest that financial markets might be adversely affected for some time.

g More Farms Should Have

' Berries anA Other

3FJ

Small Fruit

By P. O. HOLDEN. . , THERE are too many American forms without small fruit, and yet nothing else adds more enjoyment and comfort to the farm home than do strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants or gooseberries. They are easy to propagate, easy to grow, require little care and are so productive that they are always a source of profit. Raspberries and blackberries are propagated by planting suckers or sprouts taken from old plants. fhese sprouts are so numerous as to be a source, of trouble. .... They may be thinned out during the winter months, by cutting off, close to the ground, the old, heavy canes, leaving only a few of the young and ten der shoots to remain. As winter trimming is apt to cause a dying back of every sprout cut, the young shoots which are permitted to remain, should not be .trimmed until spring, but this trimming should be done before the sap starts or the shoot will bleed to death. 'After the excessive wood growth is cut away, the plants should be left about three feet apart Jn the rows and the rows should be about five feet apart. A light straw or manure mulch spread out to cover the ground will protect the plant and Increase the following year's crop. v Currants are hardy and heavy - bearing and grow in nearly any kind - of soil except heavy clay. The plants should be planted and thinned out so as to grow about four feet apart each way. They are easily propagated with cuttings taken from the old plants In the fall. These cuttings should be about six inches long and taken from tender, medfumly developed ranes. They can be tied up In bundles and kept In a cool dry place until spring and planted with the small end and one bud sticking above the ground. All buds below the top of tire ground will form the root sys

tem ; the bud above ground will form the branches. If preferred these cuttings can be plnntedvn the fall and if covered with four Inches of straw will grow " early the following spring. Currants should be pruned very little In the fall, because the berries are produced on old wood and not on new wood. Gooseberries are grown in the same manner as currants. The variety known as the "Downing" is probably the best. The best fertilizer for berry plants Is obtained from a mulch made of well-mixed manure, straw, garbage, wood ashes, leaves and grass dipnines. This fertilizer should be

spread between and around the roots I

Many , mistakes are made by clipping and pasturing the plant the first season. The crop if sown In the summer should never be clipped unless It turns yellow. Clipping In this case seems to give it vigor. In spring sowing new shoots may appear at the base of the plant. It this occurs it. should be clipped and raked off, never later than September 1st. The most serious objection to alfalfa growing is that one can't expect returns the first year. Pasturing the first year usually results in a failure of the crop. - Plan on sowing a few acres of alfalfa this year. Men who have been prodncink alfalfa in this county say that they will never be without it. After once started it seems to be as easy to secure a stand as it is to get a stand of clover. Men who are producing alfalfa for the first time feel free to call on the writer and all assistance possible will be given.

; HOW TO RAISE ALFALFA

; County Agent J. C. Kline's thirteen years of experience and experiment in the growing of alfalfa are reflected in the following article which should interest all alfalfa growers in the county or any who are thinking of growing it. - 7 The alfalfa plant is no longer considered a hew crop. It has been grown in Wayne county for a number of years, but the average farmer is not growing as much aLfalfa as should be raised on these livestock farms. Its value as a hay crop cannot be over

estimated. Experiments, have shown that the leaves gof the hay were equal

in feeding value to wneat nran wnen fed to dairy and beef cattle. All classes of stock on the farm greatly rel

ish alfalfa hay. Even the chickens

and hogs, that usually do not eat hay,

summer sowing the ground should be weeds spring sowing can be practiced with success. A nurse crop should be sown-with spring sown alfalfa, but

never with the ctod sown in the sum-1 of

mer. Barley sown at the rate of three-1 amount is sown because a large num

the ground. , This method is not as reliable as the one previously described. If one cannot get dirt from an old alfalfa field it is next best way to inoculate. Soil from the roots of sweet clover plants that contain nodules is also suitable dirt to inoculate with. I Sowing the Seed.'' ' -"

The sed should be sown at the rate

15 to 20 pounds per acre. This

fourths to a bushel per acre makes an

excellent nurse crop. ! Summer sowing is practiced where a farmer wants to be almost certain that he gets a stand of alfalfa. In all cases at home we secured better results from summer sowing than by any other method. . In summer sowing after the ground is plowed it should be harrowed every ten ten days or two weeks apart. These frequent harrowings kill the new weeds that have sprouted and bring up new seed from below tho surface. If the soil i I worked in this manner mast of the weeds

seem fond of this hay. Breeding jfwill be killed and the soil will contain

sheep can be wintered on alfalfa hay

without grain.

The writer is anxious to see more

alfalfa - growing - in - this" county, and

since he has had 13 years experience in growing this crop the best methods of growing are given below.

Soils Suited for Alfalfa. Many men think that their soil is

not the' proper type ' for growing this crop.' It, doesn't seem to make much difference what type of soil alfalfa is

grown on, provided it well drained,

contains plenty of organic matter and

is not sour.' Experiments have shown that alfalfa thrives as well on sandy soil as on the heavier types, but don't expect to get a stand of alfalfa on soil that is too poor to grow, other crops. Plant food ls'ust as essential for alfalfa as it is for the other crops. If sufficient plant food is lacking a liberal applicacation of barn yard manure applied

the year previous to sowing not only

improves the fertility of the sou, but

the physical condition as well. Sour Soils and Liming. Alfalfa will not thrive on sour soils. The main . reason for this is that the bacteria which grow on the roots of the plant are not able to live in a condition where acidity exists.- Without their existence the plant is unable to draw, nitrogen from the air and it consequently does not grow properly. Acid soils can very easily be detected. If a portion of the soil is made into a ball by moisening slightly and a piece of blue litmus paper jplaced in the center of the ball turns red or pink the soil is acid. If the soil is acid apply from 1,000 to 4.000 lbs. of ground lime stone per

acre. Even though the soil isn't acid

lime will be found beneficial in grow

ing alfalfa. It is a lime loving plant

The best method of applying lime

is by the use of a lime spreader. If this machine is not available a manure

spreader, with old sacks tacked over the bottom or a little liter placed in

the bottom of the spreader and then

the lime -placed on top of this, will

spread -the lime satisfactorily.

Preparing the Seed Bed. One reason why so many farmers fail with alfalfa Is that the seed bed was not properly prepared. For spring plowed shortly after corn planting. Where a field is practically free of

sowing the ground shoul be plowed as

early in the spring as posisDie. tor

plenty of moisture even though sown

in the summer. '. . . ' ;. Inoculation. , Inoculation is no longer thought to be necessary, but in most cases it has been-found to be an absolute necessity for the besjt production..X A few men, however," obtain stands without inoculation, but the" average fanner will do well .to inoculate., By inoculation in this case is merely meant the introduction of bacteria that work in alfalfa roots to a field where alfalfa has never been sown beore. - The two methods used in inoculating are the culture methods and the soil method. In the soil method about two inches of the soil from an old alfalfa field qr-from around the roots of sweet clover, is removed and then eight or ten inches of the soil

underneath is used for inoculating. The soil should be scattered broadcast by hand at the rate of two hundred to three , hundred pounds per

acre. ' It snouia te appnea on a ciouay day or in the evening and harrowed in

immediately as sunlight kills these

bacteria. , , By the culture method a pure alfalfa

culture can be secured from the U. S.

Department of Agriculture through

this office. This material is scattered

over the seed and it is then dried in a shady place. Enough alfalfa bacteria adhere to the seed to inoculate

ber of the seeds contain hard seed coats . which is impervious to water. These do' not germinate. The seed ought to be sown thick enough to prevent the blue grass and weeds from crowding it out. By sowing with a

drill a more uniform distribution and '

a more uniform covering can be obtained. Do not cover too deeply. Watch the drill when passing through mellow loose soil as the drill is liable to sow the seed too deeply. r
