Since alfalfa seed does not mature evenly due to tae prolong- ed blossoming period, a plant may hear pods varying from ripe, which are dark brown in - e•blour, to .green and immature. Because the ripe pods ;hatter easily-, there comes a time when more seed is 'being lost by shat- tering than is being replaced by the ripening of the green pods. Just before such a 'time is reached is the proper time for cutting. This will be when about half to twe-thirds of the pods are brawn. Much of the immature seed will mature in the swath. In seasons w'nen a hay shortage 1s imminent the grower may be compel- led ompelled to take the first crop for hay and if the eecgnd crop is podding up well it may profitably be eut for seed. The decision as to when to Cut this crop should Se lecided by the average date of the tir-t fa e the locality.

TRIAL OF TAMMANY LEADER In the most dramatic move against a major New York City politician since William Marcel- ("Boss") Tweed was sentenced to :prison in 473, 'James J. Hines, Tammany Dis- trict Leader, went on trial alone in New York last week before Justice Ferdinand Pecora of the State Sup- reme Court on the charge of partici- pating with Arthur •("Dutth Sohultz") Flezenheimer in the operation of the city's 820,')0,000 a year.policy racket. With the courtroom crowded with '70 taiesmen,' Thomas E. Dewey, District Attorney of New York Chanty, moved that Martin Wein- traub, the sole remaining co-defend- ant with Mr. Hines, :be granted a sep- arate trial. •Upon the .granting of this motion, Mr. Hines stands alone, virt- ually all of :those 'wieh whom he is changed with conspiring having aban- doned flim and agreed to •turn, State's evidence.

AGAIN .MAIN'S FRIEND MAKES' GOOD ?(Toronto Star) At Dublin, near Seaforth, Ontario, a dollar and a half dog of no particet- lar breed drove off a bull which was trampling its master and saved him front death beneath the creature's feet. Such rescues occur again and again... Mongrel dogs vie with dogs of proud • lineage in protecting those they love. There are vicious dogs which 'bite people for no apparent reason, but their number is tpropdr- tionately no larger than the number of vicious humans. And some of the so-called viciousness is just nerves or fear. Dogs, like children, can easily 'be spoiled by :a 'bad upbringing. If a human being were chained up, and were then teased and taunted 'by peo- ple just beyond his reach, would his disposition be good or evil? There is, after all, no friend like a good dog. None which will 'keep faith more surely. 'None which will love more unquestioningly. Although all his human friends may desert him, a man's dog will still give hint its unswerving 'affection. It will respond to his every mood; sense his gladness' or his sadness; read his meaning not only in his words, but in the tones of his voice, The man who has not been loved by a dog has missed something in life that is well worth while. The child which has not 'been brought up with one has lacked a companionship which almost invariably gives joy.

In his instructions to the panel, Mr. Dewey announced that the State weu;d call 53 witnesses, that 30 of these would be on the stand probably not more than 15 minutes: while the others would take onger. He said the State would close its. case in twa Creeks unless the defense prolongs the period by lengthy cross- examination. M:. Dewey-, notably jocular and in clined to informal and humorous interpolation, in contrast to the grimness of Lloyd Paul Stryker, chief counsel for Mr. Hines, analyzed the grand jury indirmente handed down against the deceadant. Mr. Dewey said Mr. Hines would be ° tried on the charge of conspiring to operate the numbers racket and that in addition to this count, which. he said was a misdemeanor, there would be 112 additional felony counts against the defendant. He named the original defendants listed in the indictment. He .said that J. Richard (-Dixie") Davis, so-called "brains" of the racket: George Wein- berg, lieutenant el Sehul:z and Harry Scitoenhans, who has been described as handling the financial details for the racket, had all .arced state's evid- ence and would testily for :he people.

Mr. Hines was in court and when the examination of the talesmen be- gan -by 1Ir. Dewey, he moved closer so he could hear, the accoustics being', particularly bad due to the air con- ditioning apparatus which had been installed for the trial. The trial taking place at present is the consummation of four years of painstaking accumulation of evidence. On Feb. 419, '1934, the first step was taken that led to the indictment against Mr, Hines, On that date See- ond Deputy Commissioner of Police Harold Alltb raided offices of "Jules Martin, lieutenant of Schultz, and found what was said to be office rec- ords involving a prominent official. Mr. Dewey, in 'January, 1937, made his first move on a 'broad 'front, raid- ing simultaneously several baners and g policy headquarters, arrestinnearly a hundred persons and confiscating records.

Tlie house coizsisted of one large room, about 30 feet by 20, 'built off the ground on stilts. There was a lit- tle veranda in front facing the beach, with overhanging eaves of palm thatch. The walls were plank for three feet, and above that, young bamboo reeds through which sunlight and fresh air filtered constantly. We partitioned the place off with curtains. !From packing cases we built bookcases, shelvee, etc. Two 'beds, a table, a fesv old chairs, a gasoline lentil and' a second-hand oil stove` about completed the furnishings.

We lived in what would probably be called a primitive style, but I won- der if you in the big -cities, and you Who are hard put to it to make ends meet in rural areas, are, despite the conveniences of your so-called civiliz- ation, any happier. In our island 'name we had just about everything we wanted, and we spent no more than ,$.35 a month after the first month. They were the happiest two years we have ever known. There is just one catch to pulling up stakes and coming to these French -owned islands — you can't make a living down there, "Therefore, your first requisite is a certain amount of cash or an assured income. But dollars stretch a long way, with a the franc so cheap. Your greatest outlay will be steamer fare -0100 one way from San Francisco or Los An- eles, The French authorities insist that you either have a return ticket or deposit $90 when you land -to be returned when you leave. This is in- surance against the islands being ov- errun with penniless beachcombers. When you arrive in Papeete, a sleepy little French village of about 4,000 souls, you will probably- go to a hotel for a week until you get your bearings. A comfortable room will cost 60 cents a day. In a week you'll meet most of the foreigners worth knowing and hear all about the rest. You will probably solve the trans- portation problem by :purchasing second-hand 'bicycle for $110. Meals at the hotel cost about 40 cents, but you can get good meals at the restaurant. Your breakfast. con- sisting of coffee, rolls, butter and fruit, will cost about six cents. The early morning open-air market will 'be a revelation to you. Out in the country, where it is cooler, and rents less expensive than in town, you probably will pay '10 to 113 dollars a month for 'house in which you can live comfortably. It will ,be fairly well furnished in simple style. Water will be piped from a mountain stream to a shower bath and the kitchen sink. You need not •become accustomed .to strange foods. You can 'get pretty much the sante as you're used to at . home. Meat and ice will :be delivered at your door every other day. From a nearby truck gardener you can ibuy for 10 francs enough vegetables for a week. Tropical fruits cost next to no- thing.
