Timothy and clover, az hay
plants, have been long and favor
ably known in the agriculture of
the United States, and occupy a
high and we'll earned place in the
list of such, wherever grown,
and alfalfa, their superior, is a
rich acquisition to region where
it flourishes soabundantly. The
statistics give idisputable evil
dence that under Kansas condi-
tons alfalfa is proving to be the
most valuable of her forage crops,
which in no wise detracts from
the well-known merits of others,
but emphasize the desirability OF
extending its culture in a state
where livestock and meat
production are chief factors o1
its prosperity.
Following is a table giving the
acreage of alfalfa, clover and
timothy, in Kansas, beginning
with 1891 (the year alfalfa sta.
tistics we're first gathered) and
each year since, ending with
1902.

ing period, and an acre of cab
bage will evaporate 5,OOO,OOO
pounds in the same time. So
indispensable is the sufficient
supply of water to the plant that
a slight deficiency is noted by
willing aud if the demand is not
made good or the willing con-
tinues, whitening and death
foil w.
Not only do crops exhale enor-
nous quantities of water, but
evaporation from the surface of
the soil goes on constantly when.
ever the afr is dryer than the
soil which is practically at all
times except during rains.
In all soils there is at some
depth a permanent and mex
haustible supply of water. This
water constantly rises to the
surface by capillary action and is
then not only adequate but avail
able.
To protect the crop from
drouth all that is necessary is to
prevent the waste of this water
supply by stopping it's escape
into the air. Mulching effective
ly does this, but it is not practi-
cable over large areas.
The principle of law controll-
ing the movement of soil waters,
however, furnishes the desired
end, namely, checking evapora-
ton.
The upward movement of
water depends upon the COM
pactness of the soil-the close
ness together of the particles.
The closer the PARTICLES the
more rapidly and quickly water
moves from one to the other till
the surface of the soil is reached
The greater the distance be-
tween soil particles the greater
difficulty of the movement and
the smaller the quantity of water
moving.
Therefore in times of drouth
when water is needed and the
supply in the soil should be
husbanded, the plow and all i'm
plements stirring the lower
arabic soil, or bringing it to The
surface where it dries should be
sedulously kept from the field
Not only this, but since thor
ough pulverizatlon of the surface
soils renders the same more
porous and the particles farther
apart so that the movement Of
the water is checked, frequent
shallow surface cultivation with
the weeder, cultivator, or sweep
should be practiced, and the
result will be to stop evaporation
of soil water and the holding Of
the same beneath the fine "dust
blanket" produced on the sur
face, through which the water
cannot pass and escape into the
air and be lost to the crop.
The amount of water thus
shown to be daily saved to an
acre of soil by shallow cultivation
has in careful experiments APP
proximated 100 barrels. Was
there ever a drouth so severe
that this amount of water given
to the crop daily would not have
rendered good harvest certain?
The method requires no new
tools, but pimply the reversal of
a com mon practice. 1t is univer-
sally followed by thousands of
successful farmers, but 1t is too
frequently neglected where the
idea of the use of the plow has

Progress Of Alfalfa
Growing in Kansas


GU. L I IOT 10 lC1U IL was not
deemed of sufficient importance
to be taken notice of in the statis-
ticts of the State Board of Agri-
culture. Now, and for the first
time, it has a larger acreage than
any other tame grass, it's area
being over 45S.OO0 acres, accord
ing to the sworn returns of as
SCISSORS now being compiled and
tabulated by Secretary F. D.
Coburn.
Timothy has been alfalfa's
leading competitor in area until
this year, when the returns pro-
claim it's field is 13S,b57 acres or
80 per cent smaller than that de-
voted to alfalfa. 1t is an inter-
esting fact also that as early as
the fourth year of alfalfa's sta
tistical recor d (1S94) it's area ex-
ceeded by $4,000 acres that of the
clovers tor the same year, and
each canvass since has shown an
increased difference in favor OF
the former. Indeed statistics
indicate that for Kansas, alfalfa
IS being found superior, by those
who have had experience with
them, to timothy or clover. It
not only is a perennial legume,
of unusual powers OF resistance
to protracted dry weather, as
against timothy and the biennial
clover of less fortitude, but an
nually yields from two to three
times as much feed equally or
more nutritious, and is a remark
able soil renovator besides.
These facts in a large measure
account for the marvellous in
crease in appreciation andsowing
of alfalfa, as disclosed be the'hg-
ures. In 1891, of the tame grass
es, alfalfa ranked fifth in area.
with "a, 1874 acres; in 1902, first,
with 4;S,493 acres, gain of
424, 100 acres, or 1888 per cent,
and an increase over 1901 of $780,
Isl acres, or 1896 per cent.
From 1891 to 1897, Finney led
all other counties in acreage; in
In 1898, Butler was first, with
12,O29 acres; in 1899, Jewell forg-
ed ahead with 1890 acres,
which position has been retained
with an increased area each year
since, having in 1902 80 976 acres
which lacks but little of eq ualing
the total for the State in 1891.
In that year there were nine
counties having 1000 or more
acres; this year there are 60;
in 1891 there was one county,
Finney, having over 5000 acres;
now there are 81, fifteen ofwhich
have 10000 and upwards, to 49,
976 in Jewell. In 1891 these tif-
teen counties had total of A.
4S3 acres; in 1901, 159, 2S2 acres,
and in 1902, 225,113 acres, gain
over last year of 2lO, $50 acres, or
1854 per cent. This year the
combined acreage of the 20 nigh
est ranking counties surpasses
the total area for the entire
State in 1901.
Alfalfa can be grown in any
county in the State, and SO of the
los report a greater or less area
devoted to this wonderful plant.
Eighty counties show total gain
of 142 ,5O4 acres; sixteen lose g.
1873 acres; and five make no
change from last year. Among
the counties showing the great
est gains in area for the year,
and their per cents, are: Jewell,
1892 acres, or 54.5 per cent;
Smith, 7.O52 acres, or 93.1 per
cent; Republic, 1908 acres, or
6s.2 per cent; Butler, 5,SS2 acres,

Comedy Gave Satisfaction to the

Hello Bilr was the hill at the Mont gomery Theatre last night and except ing the Taylor lecture the house Is now darkened for the season. It is not to be inferred from this statement that Hello Bill' put it out of business in the sense that the comedy was not satisfactory to the fair house which greeted it.

 But the players warmed up in the sec ond and third acts, and the audience was kept continuously laughing.
 Hello Bfll Is an odd sort of an oddity. 1t Is a cross between a straight and a farce comedy. It has a plot of possibili- ties just little in advance of the abili- ties of the company which is touring the country with it. The title line might in dicate almost anything, and to read it one would never imagine the outcome to be as it is.
 It is the production of Willis Maxwell Goodhue. The author evidently drew it's name because of the fact that

FOR BETTER SIDEWALKS
MASS MEETING AT HIGHLAND
 PARK LAST NIGHT.
Sentiment for City Improvement Practically Unanimous-Commit- tee Appointed to Secure Sigma

Highland Park will, in all probability. have gravelled sidewalks within the next thirty days. An enthusiastic mass meet ing of the voters of the attractive little city last night gave impetus to the move ment for city improvement, and when the IF quired number of voters sign an agree ment for the issuance of bonds to pay for the work. the gravel will be put down.
 The meeting was held last night in the school house at Highland Park. It was largely attended and enthusiastic. The sentiment for improved and better side walks was practically unanimous. Stir ring speeches were made and predictions of progress and improvement brought forth responsive. applause. The meeting was called to order by Mayor R. T.

 Major W. P. German, by invitation, ap- peared before the mass meeting and made an estimate on the cost of the proposed improvement. which was satisfactory to tHCSe present.
 A resolution authorizing the appoint ment of a committee of three to secure the signatures of the citizens of Highland Park to an agreement to issue bonds to defray the expense of the work was pass cd The chair announced the committee sis gcomposed of Messrs. Stuckey, Jones and Peoples. The committee will begin work at once. It is confidently expected that the committee will secure the re- auired number of signatures. In that event the gravelled sidewalks. it is pre- dicted, will be completed within thirty days.
 The mass meeting also discussed the question of having the water pipes of the City Waterworks Company of Montgom- cry run in the eastern section of the cor porate limits of Highland Park The pipes at present are laid no further than the bridge which crosses the track of the Central of Georgia Railroad The resi- dents of the eastern section of the city are dissatisfied that they are deprived of the use of the water and are seeking tc have the deficiency supplied. After some discussion, the water question was re- ferred to the City Council to be taken uI at its next meeting.
