Proper Handling Is Necessary For
This Important Forage Crop
Alfalfa hay when properly put up

sense and it wad received with evi-

Highness began his address as presi-

years, Charles Mayhew, the eldest by

mprop at harvest time.
Unlike some other hays, alfalfa does
not give a farmer much leeway in
the time of cutting, This should be|
done when the plants are from about

dent of the congress (which held its
Lusiness meetings in Edinburgh, Scot-
land, a few days later) by reading a
message which he had sent the King
end His Majesty's reply thereto, the
one joyalty and devotion and the
other expressing pleasure and wel-
coming the delegates, especially those
from overseas.

‘The Prince recalled the fact that
the eight universities of a century
ngo had become 53 by the time the

first congross met, and the delegates)

now assembled or assembling come
from 70 different universities. Near-
ly 90 of them have crossed the seas
to attend the congress.

The core of the Prince's subject
was the need of educated men to-
day, not only to fill. high official
‘posts everywhere in the British Em-
pire, but to serve our commerce and
industry — vital needs at home and
ebroad. In a special word of wel-
come to the overseas visitors he
spoke of the “other and better ties,”
among them the universities, which,
he liked to think, were displacing
those more material links now fast
disappearing, which had bound the
empire together in the past.

“With the growth of our popula-
tion, our commerce, and,our national
wealth has grown the need for ad-
vanced education, until nearly every
great city possesses its university,”
His Royal Highness said. “At the
same time, the duties and responsi-
bilities of universities have increased
in equal measure. The need of men
today is greater than ever. Year by
year, as the scope of our activities in-
creases, men are called for in every
part of the empire, not only to fill
the higher offices, the services, and
the government and municipal admin-
istrations, but to carry on the com-
merce and industry which are vital
to our existence. a

“T particularly welcome the pres-
ence of so many delegates from over-
seas, because the old concrete ties
which joined our empire together in
the past are fast disappearing, and I
like to think that they are being” re-
placed by other and better ties,
which, though less forraal, less tangi-
ple, in Burke's words, ‘though light
as air are as strong as linits of iron.’
Among those links surely there can
be none stronger or sounder than the
universities of the empire. We have
a common history and to a great ex-
tent community of race and language,
of tradition and of interests. This
congress adds the adyantage of per-
sonal contact and enables us to meet
together in social and intellectual in-

tercourse, and to talk over the com-
mon problems which beset us all. In
a word, it gives us an opportunity of
co-operation which is quite as valua-
ble an education as it is, to my mind,
in most of the other phases of our
lives. And it seems to me that you
have it in your power not only to con-
tribute to the solution of educational
problems, but to strengthen the or-
ganization and to draw closer the fin-
est ties of empire.”

Sea Island Airport

wings, Vancouver's sea island airport

was officially baptized in the presence) —

of 5,000 people. It was Premier S. F.
Tolmie, who officially dedicated the

birthday, Mayhew's two brothers live
in Canada and Australia, thus mak-
ing the veteran triplet combination
an empire-grown product.

Charles Mayhew lives in the King's
Cross district of London, England,
and was formerly Charles Dickens’
shoemaker. Mayhew says that in
Dickens’ “Our Mutual Friend” there
is a picture of him at his work.

The finish of the Russian war is
} named by Mayhew as the most glor-
| fous day of his life. St. Paul's was
jut up in celebration of the occasion;
| the whole shape of the cathedral was
| there in gaslight. Mayhew sang at
‘the funeral of the Duke of Welling-

Danes,

Mayhew worked at his trade until
re was 86. He eats, as he puts it
himself, “everything that comes to
hand.” He has a standing challenge
open to any man over 70 to walk to
Cambridge, a distance of about fifty
miles. Mayhew will use a pair of shoes
made at his own bench. He expbcts to
see his 110th birthday in good heath.

the leaves contain a large part of the

be lost in the haymaking operations.
When the tipper layer of the swath
has become wilted it should be put

But Problem Of Finding Substitute
For Milk Is Still Unsolved

The notion of a mechanical cow,
once attributed to Henry Ford, is
brought forward again, this time by
Dr. B. A. White, of Chicago. Dr.
White expressed his views at the an-
nual meeting of the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers at Iowa
State College. Commenting on the
discussion, David Dietz says in the
New York World-Telegram:

Like Ford, Dr. White looks upon
the cow as an inefficient machine for
the production of food.

Dr. White looks to synthetic chem-
istry to replace the cow. It is a
dream similar to that which other
chemists have had. Many look for-
ward to the day when synthetic chem-
istry, abolishing all factories, and
utilizing sunlight directly, will feed
mankind.

But let us hear from Dr. White on
the subject of the cow before we dis-
cuss these ideas. He says:

“Look at all the work required.
Why should the human race be com-
pelled to feed, clean and milk cows
twice daily, 265 days per year, to ob-
tain fats, minerals and vitamins?

“The engineer is interested in a
better way, and therefore will join
hands with the chemist in the produc-
tion and utilization of vegetable fats.
There is every reason to believe that

ing much more intense competition

amount/of moisture present. Alfalfaythan is the case today.”

Dr, White goes on to say: “The
agricultural practices which would
follow such a train of developments

are, of course, tremendous. Crops
would be developed for the fats
which they contain. Why, these

chemists may yet have us eating al-
falfa! .
“We engineers hold no brief for
the cow or the hog, the cotton plant
or vegetable oils, but we are funda-
mentally interested in seeing the hu-
man race properly fed, clothed, and
housed at a low over-all cost.”
