A veteran of the Spanish-American war. he served overseas In the World war with the railroad transportation corps. He was In Paris, France, when the first caucus of service men, out of which grew the American Legion, was held, and he attended and was heard from. Being familiar with foreign Industrial conditions, he represented the American Federation of Labor at foreign trade union conferences, and after the war office of the French military attache at Washington. It Is estimated that from ten to fifteen thousand Ameri cans are entitled to the medal. Since they are scattered all over the country, the French government hus appealed to the more than eleven thousand posts of the American Legion to publish the news of the medal offer to eligible veterans. The medals are to go to all American citizens who served, during the World war, as members of the French army and navy; as physicians, nurses, pharmacists or administrators In French sanitary units between August 2, 1014, and November 11, 1918; as members of relief agencies under French cotnmund, and as motor drivers, operators and secretaries In the regular organizations of the French armies.

CRIMSON GLOVER f IS AID TO SOIL P Irop Is Usually Sown After a Grain Crop and Is Ready for Hay in Spring. If MOST EXCELLENT AS LEGUME (i >lant Does Not Withstand Extreme Heat or Cold and Is Best Adapted to Soil Not Very Rich? tl Methods of Seeding. e3 Prepared by the United States Depart- , ment of Agriculture.) A large part of the value of crimson lover lies In the ability which It shnres sl rlth other clovers to utilize the nltro- S' ;en of the air and add it to the soil, ay specialists of the United States c< >epartnient of Agriculture. When en- Sl ouraged to do this, crimson clover is h< . valuable 6oil improver. If It is plant- lK (1 on rich land It will utilize the nltro;en already present in the soil and Is a' lot stimulated to contribute anything ni o Its own support or to the support of tlier crops. Crimson clover Is a winter plant of lie true clover group. It Is also known is scarlet clover, French clover, Italian lover and German clover. It Is the ?niy annual true clover that Is of more ban incidental agricultural Importance n the eastern United States. It owes ^ is place in the crop rotation of the Ltlantic coastal plain to the fact that | t cun be plnnted when the land is nor i | occupied by ordinary summer crops. 1 ft The many ways by which this crop !

Though it was brought from Europe o this country in 1818, its value as a orage plant was not recognized until ibout 1880. The plant does not withstand either extreme hent or cold, ond H s best adapted to a soli that Is not ery rich and to a climate where the vlnters are not severe. Ordinarily it annot survive the winter in latitudes tl lorth of southern Pennsylvania, while tl n some of the southern states it is fre- it luently killed by dry, hot weather in pi he fall or spring. m Its growth is comparable to that of pi vinter wheat.

It Is not wise to seed P dover In lnte potatoes, sweet potatoes ? )r other root crops, as the digging In ^ he fall practically destroys the clover. n Neither does It do well when sown Into p' 'owpeas. sorghum or watermelons, ow- ^ ng to the heavy shade cast by those ,'rops. The most common cause of Q 'allure to obtain a stnnd of crimson ?lover Is a period of hot, dry weather >ccurrlng after planting. The roots of crimson clover are Insulated by the same strain of bacteria which occurs on the roots of all true plovers; consequently a field which ins produced a good stand of red, S( mammoth, alsike, white, hop, Carolina. ^ abblt's font or buffalo clover Is usu- j illy sufficiently Inoculated for crimson dover.

The use of sunflowers .for silage has roved popular In certain of the Northrn Great Flains and Inter-Mountain fates where It Is not possible to prouce a Inrge tonnage of corn for silage urposes. In some sections the silage lade from sunflowers has been found > compare favorably in palatability nd feeding value with silage made om corn. This Is not always the ase, however, as it appears that in artaln Irrigated districts In the Northrn Great Plains where the growth of jnflowers is rank and succulent, the ?sulting silage is often not very paltable. Experiments reported from orrisrlmpnt farm In Mon IC JLIUUIIVJ ina of the United States Department f Agriculture show thut while It le ossible to produce from 25 to 30 tons f sunflowers per acre, it has been difcult to produce a silage that Is as mch relished by live stock as corn llage, which gives rather less than alf as much tonnage per acre. :aring for stubble lands urn aa Soon as There Is Sufficient Molature?Convert Weeds Into Needed Humus. Oats and wheat stubble that have ot heen turned should he turned as wn as there is sufficient moisture, et rid of weeds by converting them lto humus to improve your soil. If heat is to be sown on oat fields the ind should be turned as soon as posIble. If a spring crop Is to follow hejit, break as soon as you can to heck weeds and get the lnnd ready ar the next crop.
