TER8EN ESS.

Some few weeks ago, George
Cassidy, Of the Eureka Sentinel,
wrote some leading editorials on
politics. which attracted attention
all eyer the State, and were pretty
generally copied in the newspapers.
Everybody read these articles, and
they were about the best examples
Of clean cut, terse writing ever seen
on this Coast. Some of the SEN
fences were only FIVE or six words
in length, yet they conveyed a good
deal more meaning than most arti-
cles would, spread out in a sen
tence containing thirty or forty
words. If any novice IN the news
paper business we're to come and
enquire of us the best place to get
an idea of how to write Tor the
press we would hand him one OF
those Cassidy editorials and tell
him that would be good style for
him to initiate; that is, of course,
provided one has something to say,
otherwise it will not be we'll to
write at all. But if you have moth
ing to say a large majority of read
ers will more than ever insist on
having it said short. When a man
stretches out his sentences and
strings long words together it shows
that he is trying to confuse where
he cannot enlighten.

ALFALFA.

NOm6 WINS ASO 49,
the rounds of the papers that alfal-
ia was growing in Gold Hill with
out irrigation. The APPEAL has
made some inquiries regarding this
matter and finds that the alfalfa Is
growing in the rear OF Senator
Jones' house. There is deep cut
behind the house made in the hill
to afford level spot for building
The bank is cut away that there Is
a perpendicular wall OF red earth
behind the house. The Senator
strcwed alfalfa seed at the top OF
this hill just back of the cut ana
left it to take care of itself. The
seed presently took root from the
Spring rains and grew luxuriousiy,
until it attained hight OF more
than three feet. The section OF
earth below the roots down to lev
ell with the site of the house was
apparently void of moisture, yet
the roots kept going down and the
plant thrived.
1t is generally the custom IN Ne
ya5a to sow alfalfa seed after the
early Spring frosts. The sowing IS
often delayed until June in order to
avoid the frosts, as it Is common
idea that until the plant reaches
the third leaf it is liable to be kill
ed by the frost.
Mr.. Joseph Goodman told the
writer that he had sowed alfalfa IN
Fresno county, California, early In
the Spring that it might be quick
cned into life by the Spring rains.
1t often began to sprout before the
frosts and the heaviest frosts strlk-
ing it night after night had never
affected it. His idea was to plant
in February or March that the
rains might give it start, alter
which it would send down its roots
and find moisture unless there was
hard pan but a few feet below
in which case it would be deprived
Of tie natural moisture it needed,
The best way was to dig a hole In
the field where the alfalfa was to
be planted and if hard pan was en-
ceuptered near the surface. say
three or four feet, the field was not
adapted to alfalfa growing.
Mr.. James Raycraft, of the liv'
cry stables, informed the writer
that he saw an alfalfa root IN Genoa
whose course was traced down
where a we'll was sunk along side
of it. for fifty feet, Water was
struck in the we'll at tie end OF the
root. If alfalfa can once be given
a start on ground where the hard
pan is not close to the surface the
root will find water no matter how
deep it has to go. This is matter
Of great Importance to Nevada, and
farmers should not only try expert
ments but give the newspapers the
resul; Of these experiments. Ii al
falfa can be raised without irriga
ton in Nevada and will stand The
early frosts when only in the secone
leaf, it will add largely to the prop
erty of the State. There are plen
ty Of farmers who hold that alfaifs
can be sowed on the snow IN thu
middle of Winter with good results
Regarding this useful feed plant
the widest diversity OF opinion
seems to exist.
