ADVICE TO FARMERS
Western Oklahoma Is Becoming Rich
on Alfalfa Feed.

Elk City, o. T.. Dec. 5.-The Record
is advising farmers in eastern Oklahoma
to SOW alfalfa. In the following article
it says:
Reports from all parts of Washita and
Mills counties state that alfalfa has
withstood the dry weather for the past
season wonderfully and has proved TO
be a success in this part nof the terri
tory. The soil Is especially adapted TO
the growing of this plant and the exper-
ience of all who have tried it shows it
to withstand drouth better than any crop
that can be grown here All know that
the profit in farming in any country is
the stock kept on the farm and in the
cheapest method in raising and fatten-
ing stock. Alfalfa is at the head of all
stock foods where it can be successfully
grown. and the growing Of it in this
country is not a matter OF doubt As a
producer Of hay It has no equal, and
where hogs are not kept en- it a good
profit IS assured in the large yield Sc
cured from the several cuttings each
season that arc baled up for sale. An
acre Of alfalfa viii prove OF more value
for raising hay than fifteen acres OF prai-
RE kept for hay growing"

COURT SENTENCED HIM

Guthrie. o. T., Dec. 5.-A noted United
States case has been dismissed, from the
docket. after being before the coruts for
nearly three years; and one in which the
defendant has been once convicted. SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for ten years.
released on technical errors. a new trial
ordered, and. while the same was pend
ing, the defendant was once taken TO the
government insane asylum at Washing
ton, D. C. once sent back as cured. and.
again showing symptoms OF madness.
ordered back to the asylum.
The history of the case is as follows.
Clay Axhelm was indicted early in 1925
for assault with intent to kill and com
nit murder upon one Thomas p. Means
The alleged crime was committed in the
Otoe and Missouri Indian reservation.
which had been attached TO Noble county
for Judicial purposes, and the trial was
had in that county. The evidence showed
that Axhelm overlook Means. who was
driving to Saltwater and asked for ride.
which was granted. In the night. and
while in camp, Means was shot, and his
team and money taken from him; he,
however, escaping to the woods AK
helm was arrested. and while he ad-
mitted the shooting, he said Means had
assaulted him first. the row being caused
by Axhelm kicking the dog Of Means.
Axhelm claimed self defense, and said
that the reason that he drove off with
the team was that Means had run away.
The jury brought in a verdict of guilty.
and Axhelm was sentenced to ten years
in the pen; but as he got a new trial, and
seems undoubtedly crazy, the United
States attorney dismissed the action
against him, and he is now a free man.
