Inauguration Day
George Washington's lirsl term ol office began on March 4.
1789 however, he was not sworn into office until April 30.
and did not even know of his election until April 14.
March 4 was the original date set for the new government to
convene Unfortunately, Congress didn't have a quorum to
count the electoral voles until April 6 Luckily, the late start
to the first presidency did not adversely aftect Washington's
ability to lead the young nation Washington's second
inaugural took place "on time" in 1793, and March 4
remained the official beginning of each new
presidential term until 1933 (except in the
case of successions due to death of incumbent). In
1933. the Twentieth Amendment (known as the
“lame-duck" amendment) was ratified, specifying
VW that presidential terms begin at noon on January 20

Do you hove to sacrifice yield and
quality to get winterhardiness?
CimarronVß and Belmont varieties stand-up to cold weather and
harsh winter conditions without sacrificing yield or quality!
These varieties can be harvested earlier in the spring and later in the
fall to give higher yields, and a more even distribution of yield over
the season. And because they are vigorous, they can be cut more
frequently to give softer, leafier hay.
Why settle for late-starting, slow-growing, short-season alfalfa.
Choose Cimarron VR or Belmont - premium alfalfa varieties that not
only provide excellent winterhardiness, yield and quality - but also
combined resistance to all the major diseases, insects, and nematodes
that attack alfalfa. Proven performance.
