Bpring Mills added another game to
their 1916 string of victories when they
took Milesburg into camp by the score
of6 to 5, The game was played on the
occasion of the Lutheran reuuion on
Grange Park, last Thursday, and was
tbe real thing in the way of furnishing
exciting pastime for the big crowd of
picolckere. The close score is proof
hat the game was bard fought and
Spring Mills came out a winner by
reason of smoother and more clear-
ueaded basebdll playing. The one run
which decided the game was purely
donated to Bprivg Mille, It happened
n the eighth innipg after the Penne
Valley boys had tied the score at 5-5.

Although spring and late summer
seeding, of alfalin are resorted to,
sutnmer seeding is wore certain in
Peunsylvania., Alfalfa is a warm
wealher pisut and a satisfactory stand
is more certain when the seeding is
made on a soil that is sufliciently
warm to produce prompt germination
of the seed and rapid growth of the
young plante.
For most localities’ in this [state
summer seeding should be done in
August. For tue northern latitudes
and higher elevations seeding may
take place the first ten daye of August.
For intermediate conditions from the
tenth Ww the twentieth, of August
should prove satisfactory. Weather
