Just ns there is a dispute over the origin of the Stars and Stripes, xo, is there a dispute over the question of when the new flag after its adoption by congress, received its first baptism of fire.

(Prepared by the United Btates Department of Agriculture.) Farmers have two general ways of Increasing the yields of crops on their lands, according to Dr. RR. O, E, Davi« of the United States Department of Agriculture, who makes the division on methods according to whether they do or do not Increase the cost per acre of raising crops, An example of a cropping method crease yields without better adapted to the type of soll on the farm; for example, the seeding of alsike clover on lands which have not produced good crops of alfalfa or red clover because of acid soil. Rotation of crops with frequent planting of legumes Is another method of increas ing ylelds without increasing acre. Still another is the use rieties of the crops which have improved by plant breeding. These, Doctor Davis points out, are naturally the first aids to which the farmer likely to turn In an effort to get more production from farm. Any in of va- heen his Improved Methods.
