Prepared bjr the Collect of Agriculture* ITnlverelty of Illinois.--WOT S«rvlM. Tlljpols farmers already have adjust ed their crop acreages to the point where they are growing almost eighteen times as much sweet clover as they were thirteen years ago, but this crop may be expected to spread to new prominence under the wheat program of the agricultural adjustment administration, according to a new bulletin, "Sweet Clover in Illinois," which was recently released by the experiment station of the College of Ajjrlr culture, University of Illinois. ' As a soil Improvement crop for the acres which will-be retired -from wheat production, sweet clover has no superior among the legumes, according to the authors of the. bulletin, v Experimental work started by the University of Illinois College of. Agrl- ,'culture in 1003 helped pave ihe. way for an, increase In the state's sweet clover acreage from acres in 1910 to 850,000 acres in 1932, It Is jioiiited out in- the bulletin. These studies have been expanded and continued up to the present. The new bulletin reports the results of experiments made as early «3 1917 and as late as 1932. With new (lejuands betpg madi1 upon the sweot clover crop by the agricultural adjustment program and other farm developments, varieties and strains are being developed and adapted to almost every condition and use, according to the bulletin. Of the more than twenty-five known species of sweet clover grown in various parts of the world, more than half have been tried in the United States. The biennial white-flowered sweet clover, Melilotus alba,., is the most Important and constitutes more than 80 per cent of all the sweet clover grown In the corn belt. Another reason why sweet clover' is expected to play • leading role in the agricultural adjustment program Is the fact that the culture of it Is easier than that of the other common legumes. The usual dates of seeding are the latter part of February and the first of March In southern Illinois, and the latter part of March and the first of April in northern Illinois. Early seeding Is Important Unhulled seed may be sown in wheat as early as December. C A large proportion of Illinois termers use sweet clover both for pasture and soli Improvement. The crop can furnish more gracing than almost any other common corn-belt pasture plant STRANGE BELIEFS That a cat has nine lives. A dog foaming at the mouth is "mad.*' .

The publication ts an upto- date revision of a previous circular on the same subject by H. H. Mitchell, chief in knimal nutrition. Carefully conducted experiments have failed to show any need for complex mineral mixtures in general practice, the circular points out. Minerals should tie used in the feeding of livestock oirty as supplements to rations that have been properly balanced In other respects, particularly In respect to protein. Mineral supplements, therefore, need contain only a few minerals in which farm feeds are known to be deficient These can be supplied cheajity and mixed on the farm.

"I hate the English, I loathe social functions, I won't marry a foreigner-- and anyway I want tQ go to Wyoming." "And where do I come in?" "You're to be an angel and-persuade your Susan to give up the idea." "Not so easy," Smlf meditated the point. "You see, it's natural she should be ambitious for you, Tam, and it will be a terrible disappointment if you let her d^wn now." "There's bound to be a disappointment some time,"--the girl's manner left no room for doubt that her mind was made up,--*'it had better come sooner than later. In her heart, she wants me to marry a title, just as Cintra did. She'd never understand that It was seeing Centra so perfectly satisfied to give tip her own country and be Lady Leister that convinced me I wouldn't bet Not even If I had the luck to find some one as nice as Leister who'd like me. The British are so consciously superior to \tll impa- Q $ cS! to push into European society. I refuse to be humiliated in just that way. I'm perfectly satisfied at home." v "Any other reason, Pam? A counter- attraction in Wyoming, by chance?" 8mif looked at her keenly but the girl was patently honest when she shook her head in the negative. "I was out there summer before last with Mr. Moffatt and Peg. (She was a Foxcroft girl, too.) I liked it. I want to go there again. You say that I've not been a problem so far--well, really, Smlf, that's because I've exercised a lot of selfcontrol. Life that's just one party after another is intolerably dull. Dancing all night and making sprightly conversation to" *muse men who don't amuse you In the least--" "Yet you had a good time. Cintra told me that you are popular." Pam shrugged heavily. "I'm a Phelps, and mother gives awfully good parties." "That's not doing yourself Justice, Pam. You're likable even if you aren't a beauty." Smlf spoke quickly. It was growing Increasingly clear to her that the girl had had some experience that rankled. There had been bitterness in that "mother gives awfully good parties." Pam said nothing. The girl had a gift of silence. It flashed across Smlfs mind that there would be something ponderous In her resistance If she were In opposition to you, and she went on, her words carefully calculated: "Take the English crowd that Leister brought over. I should say that you were more popular with them than any of the bridesmaids except possibly Eve Goodhue. And Eve is always hors concours." "She has had a wonderful life," Pam said. "I don't know a girl 1 envy more. I don't mean her looks, I mean the fact that Eve comes to all things with a real gusto. We poor rich kids were taught sports as tasks. We were taught to skate, we were taught to dive, were taught to play golf and tennis. We had &L • ft you, jF* "I Simply Wont Do It. Smiffy.

'f "No one would--" "Yes, they would." She caught the words out of Smlfs mouth tiently. "Once I went over, it couldn't be escaped. If I married there, they'd say Td made my catch, If I didn't, they'd make fun of me because I'd tried and failed. Either way It would be abominable. I'm - not a lion hunter.

An eee-normous lady, not so tall but awful wide." Buttons was standing In the outer lobby near th* elevator and there was more than a hint of excitement in his voice. "Gee, I betcha Tuffy Dorlan'll say I'm a liar when I tell him how big she is," "Have there been any cancellations or telephone messages; But* tons?"

"Very good," said Smll 1 wffi ring when I want you." • ..... She found an urgent message from Louise. Could she meet her for luncheon? Anywhere at all that she might suggest and ahy hour. Smif chuckled, remembering that she had a previous engagement to take lunch with a man whose very name she did not know. She told the maid who answered her ring that she was sorry she w )jld be jnable to meet her sister until Ave o'eiock. when she would be at Pierre's. The second call asked her to ring up a number that was not among those noted in her telephone register. No hurry about that She dressed and at length rang the number Indifferently. The first word* spoken made her stiffly erect "It's Madame Saltou, Isn't It?

She, too, however, kad recognized a voice and it did not take great acuteness to foresee that the large lady »ho had so excited Buttons would prove to be the Mercy of the merciless pursuit. Smif was now eager to look the monster over for herself. She rang fur Buttons. ^Tell the strange lady that I cant possibly see her for at least threequarters of an hour," she instructed him. "I will tit her in if she will wait. Otherwise it will be two days before I can arrange for her. Safe urday at ten is the only vacant time." "Yes, Madame."
