W. MENDENHALL (County Agent) For alfalfa production, follow these seven points: 1. Select a well drained soil of good fertility. Alfalfa is a deep rooted plant, therefore will not do well on bottom land. 2. Apply lime on the basis of a soil test. Spread uniformly and work into soil as soon as possible. County agents will be glad to help in taking soil sam ples and having them analyzed. Experiments show that lime spread on the land but not worked into the soil will not maintain a good stand. Seed lespedeza or soybeans in the spring, to Jje disked down in August. 3. Fertilize with 700 to 1,000 pounds of 2-12-12 fertilizer and 20 to 30 pounds of agricultural borax at seeding. Even the best soils require lertilization to maintain a good stand and good yield. Ten to 15 tons of stable manure per acre disked into the soil before seeding is a good practice. Alfalfa that is seeuea in the fall and properly ferti lized will not require top-dress ing the first year. 4. Seed-bed preparation. A good seed-bed should be firm and well pulverized with organic matter, such as lespedeza or soybeans, disked into the top layer of the soil to prevent bak ing. The soil should then be worked lightly to smooth the land and kill weeds that corpe up after the first disking. The fertilizer can be drilled into the soil any time after the first disking. 5. Seeding. Sow 25 pounds of inoculated Kansas or Oklahoma common seed per acre and cover lightly. Sow half of seed in one direction and cross seed the re mainder. Cover seed with a drag harrow and follow with some type roller. Inoculation of seed is both inexpensive and easy, yet necessary for success. Late summer seedings around the last of August are prefer red. The plants will be estab lished before cold weather and ATHLETES TOOT GERM KILL IT IN ONE HOUR. YOUR 35c BACK. If not pleased.

Today at I the weed and grass competetion will be less. 6. Cutting and curing. Alfal fa should be cut at the first sign of bloom, or when shoots appear at the base of the plants. Cutting too early weakens the plant and delayed cutting re sults in excessive shedding of the leaves. Rake the hay in wind-rows before the leaves are brittle to prevent shattering. 7. Management. Once a stand of alfalfa is established, it can be kept productive for several years by proper care. After the first year top-dress annually with 500 pounds of 0-9-27 or 0-12-12 fertilizer containing 20 pounds of borax. If 0-12-12 fer tilizer is used, 300 pounds of 25 per cent potash should be mix ed with it. Don't cut too late in the fall. A growth of six to 1C inches should be left on tht land to withstand the winter and to start early growth ir. the spring. As a general rule re-seeding of alfalfa to thicken the stand has not been successful. Seeding six to eight pounds of orchard grass after the last cutting wil. improve this condition and in crease the yield of good hay. Feed everything you grow Vigoro, complete plant food.

State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Raisins, rice, powered sugar, brown sugar, navy beans, and other such foods which are kept on hand in small quantities, are most easily stored in fruit jars; thus the contents can be seen at a glance. Also, dry foods are kept dry, and moist food moist. Here's a '.trick for taking the shine from the back of trous ers and skirts. Sponge the shiny place with water containing a little amonia. Then press with plenty of steam, and when dry, rough up the surface with a piece of emery paper. If garments are to be sent to the dry-cleaner it is wise to inform the cleaner as to the kinds of spots present. This makes it possible for him to remove the spots before the general dry-cleaning process is used, and eliminates the possi bility of any stain becoming "set." Remove the trimming and the headband of old straw hats be fore cleaning. Then to closely woven straws, like leghorns, MACON COUNTY SUPPLY CO. Panamas, or Milana, apply ? suds of luke-warm soft water and neutral soap, and scruo lightly unUl they are clean. Rinse thoroughly and lay in the shade to drain for a short time before blocking. For coarse and looeely woven straws, follow the same methods, but use water very sparingly. Every garment should be on a separate hanger. That keeps it in shape and avoids wrinkles. Hangers which are covered with a rough fabric will keep clothes from slipping and keep shoul ders in shape. Buttons on youug children's clothes should be large enough for the child to grasp easily so that he can push or pull them through the buttonholes. But tons about an inch In diameter are satisfactory.

Before installing the pump, water had to be carried from a spring 600 feet from the house, regardless of the weather. This took a lot of time and a lot of work each day. Now 5c worth of electricity will pump and carry the equivalent of 400 buckets of water as needed. Can you afford to work so cheap? Your dealer can give you an estimate of the cost of installation of an electric pump in your well or spring.
