LOCAL WINNERS
FOUR DISTRICTS REPUBLICAN
Third, Fourth. Fifth and sixth Cou-
sressiOnaI Districts RE-
deemed.

In the First district Burket, republican,
is returned by a largely Increased ma
jority.
In the Third district Mccarthy, repub-
licsn. defeats Robinson for reelection by
a safe majority. Two years ago Robin
sons plurality was 175, and the counties
reported in full have made sufieient re-
publican gains to wipe that margin out and
the others will add to 1t.
In the Fourth complete returns give
Hinshaw, republican, = plurality of 2.672
over Stark.
In the Fifth Norris has $50 plurality,
with only a few preciucis missing. which
will neither add TO nor take away from
these figures appreciably.
In the Sixth on the face OF the returns
now in, Kinkaid, republican, has a plu-
rality OF 1,1s0. These same counties two
years ago gave Neville 374 plurality. which
was greater than his plurality in the en-
tire district which was zoe.

Although the silk cotton tree is a ma.

specimen of it in Nassau, Bahama is

and liz one of the greatest curiosities
on the island. 1t was planted more
than 200 years ago by John Miller.
The roots seem to be unable to find
their way down after the manner Of
ordinary roots and so swell up like
great buttresses radiating round the
trunk of the tree, rising from the
ground to a height of from six to
twelve feet. They reach out to irregu-
lar distances, gnarled and twisted in
the most curious fashion. They turn
and bend and double a point in all
sorts of unexpected ways and make
dark hollows and ravines whers the
darkies believe the elves and gnomes
make their home.
The great seed pods are filled with a
fine, soft fleece Of silk, which the ma
tives use for filling their pillows and
mattresses. There are several speci-
mems Of the tree on the island of New
Providence. but this one In monarch Of

Alfalfa In New Jer.ex.

According to Professor Voorhes OF
New Jersey, the successful establish
ment of alfalfa requires
First, that the surface soil shall be
well supplied with the mineral ele-
ments, lime phosphoric acid and pot
ash: second, that during the early
growth of the crop the weeds should
be frequently cut; third. that the crops
should be harvested preferably just be-
fore the plants are in blossom.
The crop is we'll adapted for soiling
and for hay. The average yield OF
green forage per acre for three years,
including the first year, was 1927 tons,
equivalent to 4.57 tons Of hay. The
yield the third year from five cuttings
was 26.6 tons of green forage. equiva-
lent to Cos tons Of hay, costing $500
per ton.
A feeding experiment showed that
the protein in alfalfa hay could be sue
cessfully and profitably substituted in
a ration for dairy cows for that con-
tained in wheat bran and dried brew
ers' grains and for this purpose is
worth $11.16 per ton when compared
with the wheat bran and dried brewers
grain at SIT per ton.
The use of alfalfa hay reduces the ne
cessity for the purchase Of protein
feeds.
