Yesterday our reporter, in com
pany with two members of the town
company and a Mr.. Shafer, from the
east, drove out as far as Mr. Norton's
farm. We stopped at Mr.. Bales
place, where Andy Nichols IS thresh-
ing the formers oats. They had
thresbed the straw from eight acres
and the guage showed l65 bushels
These oats were sowed last spring
with Italia, only bushel Of oats
being sown to the acre. On the
ground now where the oats stood Is
a fine stand of alfalfa, which will
probably make one cutting this sea
son. At Mr.. Norton's place we
found Mr.. y. cutting crop of al
falfa two feet high, off piece of
ground from which a few weeks
ago he harvested fine crop of oats.
The oats and alfalfa We're sown to-
gether III the spring. Adjoining
this field is a piece on which stands
the fourth crop of alfalfa. now
measuring over two feet in height
and standing thick on the ground.
From this piece Mr.. n. has had
three cuttings of two tons to the
acre at each cutting and the crop
now growing bids fair to yield at
least one and one-half tons TO the
acre. Imagine a field of clover
standing thickly upon the ground
and measuring nine and one-half
feet in hight, and you will form an
idea of what this piece of land has
produced this season. If any person
who reads this is skeptical upon she
matter we can obtain affidavits from
a dozen reliable men to corroborate
the above statements La Junta
Tribune.
