school books for the little ones is one
usually heard at this time of year and
it would be we'll that the school board
should think several times before or

John Dennis has just finished cut
ting the third crop of alfalfa from his
forty acre irrigated meadow near Cas-

for the year. His meadow at that rate
will yield him 4sO tons this year and
we'll venture that he will not get a
cent less than $40 per ton for it. If
there is stronger argument in favor
of irrigation and alfalfa, we don't
know what it can be.

market for his onyx when it is put in
merchantable shape.
