While clover to be seeded with win ter grain is already in the ground, and a considerable acreage is annu ally put in with oats, the United States Department of Agriculture calls attention at this time to the need for using every care to get a stand of clover. Red clover seed is high in price now and there is no reason to think that considerable im portations from Europe can be look ed for during the coming year. It is highly desirable that the failure of clover seedings be minimized as much as possible, both from the stand point of conserving our seed supplies and of assuring a satisfactory hay crop ,for the year 1917-18. The fol lowing suggestions are therefore made at this time when land is being prepared for seeding oats. Constipation s ad.d. I ead t .o ewgs e.~ ietinPiles 8a c i R roube EYllow.

HOUSE "Around Many fields, especially in the East, are benefited- by lime. The applica tion of lime alone will not always insure a catch of clover, but on the greater part of the farms on which :lover frequently fails, lime may be applied profitably. Probably at least half of the clover failures could be prevented were plenty of lime used. The kind of lime to be used will de pend on the price, freight charges, and cost of hauling. This is issum ing that it is all of good quality. Roughly twice as mpch ground lime stone must be applied as of murnt lime and where freight and hauling charges are high, the smaller quan tity to be handled may make burnt lime cheapest. The State evperiment station or the county agent can best advise in particular cases. The use of lime in some' form when preparing the land for oats with clover is urged as an important step toward asuring a stand of clover. (2) Use Early Variety of Oats. Use an early variety of oats and do not seed heavily. The oat crop is hard on the clover growing with it in that it shades the latter and draws heavily on the supply of mois ture. Oats aie harvested during hot weather ahd droughts are not un likely at that time. It is at this time that the greatset mortality occurs among the young clover plants. If the stand of oats is thick, there is more shading and there is also a greater dIrafe on the water supply. To minimize the chances of loss of a catch of clover, use an early oat and sow relatively thin. A bushel of oats per acre may not give quite the yield that 2 1-2 bushels wvill, but there is twvice the chance for the clover, andl where this Is neededl, it is important enough to be given a fair show.

If oats have been seeded thickly and the season turns dry it will be worth while to consider whether the oat crop would not better be cut for hay than to be allowed to ma ture. Oat hay is good hay and the clover will certainly have more chance if the oats are cut in the dough thin if they are allowed te ripen. Of course, each farmer must balance the arguments for himself in each case, but in deciding he should give due weight to the importance of the stand of clover. (4) Alsike Clover with Red. Sowing some alsike clover with the red is practiced a great deal and is a good partial insurance. The alsike will often catch on poor or sour spots where the red will not and this makes the field more uniform. Sometimes indeed, a field of this sort comes out pure aslike, when, if only red had been seeded there would have beer no stand. This is especially true of low lands that may be overflowed o drowned out in a wet year. Red cloves will not stand such conditions, but alsike will. A seeding of 4 pounds of alsike with 8 pounds of red makes a good amount for an acre. - 0 ALFALFA SEED WARNING Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed Not Adapted to General Use ir United States. Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed which formerly came to this country through Europe, is now being import. ed into the United States by the wvay of Vladivostok and the Pacific Ocean Since July 1, 1916, two and one-hall million p~oundls have been imported or enough to seed 125,000 acres. Un dler most conditions It is dlecidledly inferior to American-grown strains and no farmer should sow it think ing he is using American-grown seed IThe following statements showv how~ Commercial Turkestan alfalfa is re gardled by experts of the United States Department of Agriculture. "Generally speaking, Commercial Turkestan alfalfa has proved to be inferior to the American-grown strains in nearly every case wvhere comparative tests have been conduct. ed. In the eastern half of the United States, where alfalfa sed is not pro dluced in commercial quantities, im ported seed was used almost exclu sively until within the past few years. Of the sevecral million pounds of alfalfa seed that have been imported annually, approximately 95 per cent came from Tlurkestan. This fact is responsible for many of the failures that occurred wvith alfalfa in the Eastern States. In brief, the Com mercial Tlurkestan alfsifa yields less than the American-grown strains, is shorter lived, and is less hardy than the Grimm, Baltho. sand Canadian Variegated. It is thegfore not a de sirable variety." Commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed can be readily dlistingurshed from that of other strains by the presence of seeds of Russian knapweed.

In addit'? to offering surgeons for the Allies the College of Surgeons with the American Medical Associa tion, put at the medical board's dis posal today its entire organization.

Their chalky-white color makes them especially conspicuous, and their symmetrical form, being slightly wed&e shaped, serves to dis tinguish them\from the notched seed of other similar weeds, which often occur in Italian and other alfalfa seed. As the seeds of Russian knapweed are not usually abundant, a small trade sample should never be used to determine whether the seed is Com mercial Turkestan alfalfa. It may often happen that a number of small samples, such as are usually supplied by the trade, contain none of these seeds, while an examination of the bulk will show them to be present. If any seed of Russian knapweed oc cur, the alfalfa seed is wholly or in part from Turkestan. The Seed Laboratory, Ulited States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.
