Suitable seed is an important part Dodge Bros. Motor Cars Bt Community With Such Such a Reput2- onegrap S yokes, some times in delicate
of alfalfa growing. While there is Graham Bros. Trucks tion Suffers as From a color. .Hand-colored smocked
comparatively little variety difference,
the place where the seed is produced,
however, seems of vital importance in
determining whether the resulting
crop will be winter hardy in various
parts of Pennsylvania.
“Extreme care should be exercised
in the purchase of seed and the buyer
should patronize only thoroughly re-
liable seedmen, who can guarantee the
source of the seed,” says J. B. R.
Dickey, extensian alfalfa specialist of
The Pennsylvania State College, in a
new free extension circular on “Alfal-
fa in Pennsylvania.” “The undesira-
ble seed is invariably lower in price
and often of superior plumpness, pur-
ity and color. It is a great tempta-
tion to misrepresent such seed or mix
it with the good. Cases have been re-
ported where undesirable seed was
shipped into localities producing good
seed and re-shipped as local grown
seed.”
Several different kinds of alfalfa
seed which are on the market are:
Northwestern common, the hardy
strain including Grimm, Liscomb,
Baltic and Cossack, the Kansas grown
seed, the Southwestern grown alfalfa,
and the imported strains of Turkestan
or Russian, Italian, Argentine, and
Peruvian or Bolivian alfalfa seed.
Northwestern common comes from
South Dakota, Idaho and Montana.
The indications are that this seed is
entirely satisfactory and sufficiently
winter hardy in any favorable location
in the southern half or two-thirds of
the State below an altitude ot 1,500
feet. This seed is generally fairly
abundant in supply and reasonable
in price.
“In the northern counties, except on
especially favorable locations, such as
well drained bottom soils, it is no
doubt safer to sow a hardy strain of
seed. A good plan in many cases has
been to sow 50 per cent. Grimm and
50 per cent, Northwestern seed. This
reduces the cost of seeding and if the
common alfalfa survives it may make
a larger crop than the Grimm. If it
fails there will still be plenty of the
hardy strain left to make a stand if
the seeding is fairly liberal.”
Kansas alfalfa seed seems entirely
hardy in the southern counties but the
Southwestern grown seed from States
south of Kansas where winters are
comparatively mild is subject to se-
vere winter killing in all parts of the
Keystone State and should be avoided.
Much of the seed from the southwest-
ern States is of excellent appearance
and purity but it is safe to avoid all
seed from States having mild winters.
Large quantities of alfalfa seed
have been imported from Europe and
South America. A small amount of
seed coming from northwestern
France may be satisfactory and hardy,
but as the source of supply is difficult
to trace, and as most of it is undesir-
able all should be avoided.
Deep Snows Have Weakened Game.
This, so far, has been the most se-
vere winter on game of all kinds since
the winter of 1917-18. More feeding
has been done by the game protectors,
sportsmen, farmers, Boy Scouts and
others interested than ever before.
Special help has also been employed
in a number of cases to help on feed-
ing work.
Regardless of these efforts to feed
game, practically all species of small
game have been so much weakened by
the severe winter weather that stray
dogs, stray cats and all kinds of ver-
min are daily taking an enormous toil.
The officers of the Game Commis-
sion have been instructed to make a
special drive to curb stray dogs at
this time. More than 50,000 rabbits
have been stocked and these, as well
as the rabbits bogs oe from the hunt-
ing season, must be given ever -
sible protection. 8 Sry yor
Any sportsmen who knows of dogs

A man is something that can see a

driving a motor car in a crowded city
street, but will fail to notice, in the

of a locomotive the size of a school-

forty-two box cars.

People Can Create and Maintain Pros

(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
“Stay away from that town. It’s »
dead ome.”
Do you want that to be said of
your town? Of course you don’t, for
vou wish, as a matter of local pride, if
for no other reason, to have your
town stand high in the estimation of
the world. But are you sure that you
are doing everything in your power
himself or herself at frequent inten
vals.
When things are running smoothly,
when times are good, and when it is
not come to a town as a matter of
course, but are the result of the
right kind of effort on the part of the
citizens of the community. It is so
isted it will continue to exist without
any effort on his part or that of the
other residents of the community.
That is why it is important for every
one to stop and think seriously once
in a while about what it would mean
to him if the prosperity that makes
life worth living for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes to live in a dead town
No one even likes to visit a dead town.
That is why you sometimes hear that
warning, “Stay away from that town.
It’s a dead one.” The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one suf-
fers as if from a pestilence. Busi-
ness men seeking new locations will
have none of it. The live traveling
salesman, even, will give it a wide
berth. Those who live in it will get
away if they can.
When a town is live and prosperous,
tocal business is good, real estate val-
ues are high and stable, labor is in
demand and wages are good, the
streets are well lighted, the residents
and their property are protected from
robbery and fire and good schools are
maintained for the education of the
children. When a town is dead, there
is little money in circulation, store
buildings stand empty with “For Sale”
sign hanging on the front door, there
is little employment for the laboring
man, the streets are dark, the schools
are crippled.
What sort of town do you want tu
itive in? There is only one answer to
that question. You want to live in the
live town and enjoy all the good things
that come to the residents of such a
community.
Answer Easily Found.
The only question then is as to how
these prosperous conditions can be
created or maintained and it is the !
easiest thing in the world to find the |
answer to that question.
If the people of a community wil
4eep their money at home and keep it
in eirculation among themselves, they
need have no fear of ever being com-
pelled to live in a dead town. If the
people will patronize their own busi-
ness men instead of sending their dol-
lars to the mail order houses, the
prosperity of the community will take
eare of itself.
The local stores, to a very large ex:
.ent, make every town. The taxes
paid by the business men of the com-
munity are the principal support of
the schools and public institutions. It
ts the taxes paid by the storekeepers,
to a large extent, that make possible
the public improvements, the fire pro-
tection, the street lighting and the
many other things which make a town
worth living in. The mail order house
does not pay any taxes in the town
from which it gets its money. It does
not help to support the schools or
the churches. It does not help light
the streets or maintain the fire de-
partment. It is the alm of the mail
order houses to drive small town mer-
chants out of business, so that the
people will be compelled to send to
the cities for their merchandise and
they are spending thousands of dol-
lars every month to accomplish this
purpose. If they should succeed, who
would pay the taxes that are now
paid by the local merchants? It's a-
certainty that the mail order house
would not pay them.
Issue Is Clear Cut.
fvery dollar spent at home helps
¢0 make the town a live one.
Every dollar sent away from home
co the mail order house helps to make
the town a dead one.
The issue is a clear-cut one and it
community, whether a resident of the
town itself or of the country surround-
ing it. The man who does not care
whether he lives in a live or a dead
town, if there is such a man, need
waste no thought on the subject, but
the man who wants to live in a live
town cannot get away from it. It is
up to him to make his town a live one
or a dead one,
