CHARGE OF POLITICS DENIED
Accusation of Jaoksonian Club Regarding
Redi0tricting Denounced as Absurd.
WILL HEROaAN SAYS IT is NOT TRUE
He is JacksOnian and Joins City
Engineer ROsewRter in Say
ing that Politics Cut
No Figure.

Persons at the city hall familiar with the
preparation of the ordinance reducing the
number of voting districts from seventy
six to fifty-four to enable the economical
use of voting mschines laugh at the
reported charge of the Jacksonian club
that politics had anything to do with
the fashioning of the new lines. 1t is
admitted that blunders exist which will
have to be corrected IL not before, the
fall election, within the year.
The cause for this is laid to the haste
with which the document was drawn up
This was due to the fact that it was con
sidered necessary TO have the redistristing
complete in time for the county clerk to
use it in his proclamation calling county
primaries, the date being the first day OF
registration as well.
THE idea that politics had anything to
do with making up the new voting dis
trcts is absurd" says City Engineer Rose
water. 81 prepared the ordinance and no
one else had anything TO say about IL. The
council simply accepted my work and /
doubt IL a member knew the contents OF
the document. I had only a " days to
get II up and the work extremely
dificult as / did not have proper informa-+
ton at hand regarding the distribution OF
voters. Mistakes exist, it is true, but they
are due to the lack of time and informa-
ton l should have had. These can and
should be corrected"
Herdmhn Takes Same View.
Assistant City Attorney Herdman, a
democrat and member of the Jacksonian
| club, said:
Il don't believe that any desire to deal
|, unfairly with the democrats of the city
on the part OF City Engineer Rosewater
or the council is responsible for mistakes
in the redistricting. 1t is true that serious
errors occurred, particularly IN the south
part of town. In the new Tenth ward one
district is made where there are more than
| 700 voters registered 10 my certain knowl-
| edge. On the other hand. a precinct is
made in the Fifth ward that only regis
tered seventy-nine. OF course, this is
unequal and should be corrected"
Agents for the United States Standard
Voting machine say they anticipated some
] inequalities OF the kind complained OF and
I'm overcrowded districts are willing tenn
! pOrarily TO install two or more machines
70 properly record the vote. In the Tenth

many machines as the registration and con-
ditions seem to justify. this without ex-

ALFALFA.

This is the crop of the irrigator. 1t
does all the corn crop does for the east
ern farmer and much more besides. 1t
is better feed than corn for horses,
stock, hogs and sheep, and gives more
feed to the acre at far less cost and
labor. If sold instead of fed it gives
much better cash returns than corn. 1t
gives a honey crop for nothing where
bees are kept, as they should be by ev-
cry Arkansas valley farmer. 1t en-
riches instead of impoverishes the SOIL
1t is hardy and perennial, and even If
deprived of water will not die as other
crops, but will wait until the water
comes, when 1t springs up as strong
as ever. Once planted, it needs no
more work except to turn the water on
and cut it. Instead of one crop it
gives three or four every season, and,
in short, a piece of land in alfalfa as
sures perpetual income to the owner.
1t yields about two and one-half tons
per acre each cutting, and the hay sells
for So to $3.50 per ton in the stack,
but if fed to hogs or stock instead of
sold it gives the owner about $500 per
ton. The second cutting is usually
used for seed, and gives about five
bushels to the acre, though cases are
numerous of much higher Yields. The
seed sells from Sc to IS per bushel, and
tire straw can either be fed or sold for
about $1.50 per ton. Sheep do espe-
cially well on the straw.

door, and at the proper time use it..
Besides, the soil becomes richer as it
grows older from fertilizing sediment
deposited on the soil while irrigating.
irrigation also increases the YIELD in
some cases being double of that of
the best Eastern farm lands depending
on rain for life. A man can make more
money. with less labor. from forty
acres of irrigable land than can be
made from eighty acres of the best land
in country depending on rain. Irri-
CATION is not complicated and your
more experienced neighbors will glad
ly show you-it is no longer an expert
n1cnt with US.
In the matter of irrigation, the
country tributary to Holly has dis
tlnct advantage over any other part
OF the Arkansas Valley and indeed
there is probably no other section of
the West where such irrigation facili-
ties exist as here. The five huge res
ervoirs built by the Great Plains
Water Company contain sufficient at
all times to furnish the farmers under
the Amity Canal with all they require
to produce crop. However, it is sell
dom necessary to draw on this supply
OF water as in recent years the flow in
the river has been increasing and gen
orally furnished plenty of water for all
during the growing season.
These reservoirs simply make farm-
ing an assured success SO far as mois-
ture is concerned and the farmers who
located under them feel that they are
more fortunately situated than if they
had to depend solely upon the river for
the water necessary to grow their
crops.
