New Electric Liaht Plant.

Carrollton, April IA new electric
lighting company is being formed in
this village by the stockholders of the
Mitzel Rubber Co.
d The new company will compete
with the Carrollton Electric Co., for
the municipal lighting, the contract
for which will expire next September.
The present lighting company shuts
off the current at IL o'clock, and the
new franchise will call for all nigh
service.
In making its proposition to the
town council for the municipal light
ing the new company will suggest the
substitution of large incandescent
lights to replace the arc lights now in
use. The idea is to use many more
lights and place them at the curb line
on each side of the street In thi
manner the town could have several
lamps for the price of one of the large
arcs. The proposed plan, 1t is urged,
will give more even distribution of
light along the street. A great re-
duction in price from the present
rates will undoubtedly be demanded

Alfalfa in the Pacif c
Northwest.

Having knowledge that Col. R. G
Judson, industrial agent of the 0. R. &
N. Co., IS an enthusiast on growing al
fafa representative of the Home
stead called upon him and asked his
opinion on the raising of alfalfa in the
Willamette valley, Oregon.
He said: 'In the first place the soil
where the growing of alfalfa is con-
templated should be tested to ascertain
if there is any acid in lt-either mineral
or humus. The easiest way to do this
is TO make test Of the ground bv in
serting spade the full depth Of the
same and work it back and forth so as
to be able 70 withdraw it without the
hole filing mp. Teen insert a sheet of
blue lltmus paper and push the dirt up
against it. In ten minutes take ont the
paper and if it is red there is acid in
the soil. Acid can ba neutraiz d by
the app'ication of land plaster or lime.
Land should be plowed to a depth OF
six or eight inches-the furrovs being
turned over instead Of being thrown up
right Then thoroughly harrow until
the sol ia like a Garden patch. Sw
the land plaster to tie amount of 200
pounds to the acre. Sow % pounds of
dry-land alfalfa seed to the acre and
harrow in the plaster and seed. The
best way if it is sown broadcast is to
SOW 10 pounds one way and then SOW
more even sowing. If the seed is to
be drilleG in it should be covered to
depth Of about l u inches.
"There is no trouble about making
alfalfa grow almost anywhere in the
willamette valley where wheat can be
raised where the land is properly drain
ed, thoroughly plowed and narrowed.
"On all clay land with clay subsoil
bronze grass (Bromus inermus) can be
successfully grown, and makes the be st

under the direction of the o. K. u N.
Co. Now we'are continuing these ex-
periments right along on the line OF
dry land alfalfa, corn, and ambercane,
and also bronze grass, the latter being
sown in the vicinity of Sparta.
"On my recent trip to the East and
Middle West l visited the semi arid
districts of Kansas and Nebraska where
the rainfall is very light. There they
are adopting the Campbell system OF
deep blowing. The land is plowed
from eight to IL inches deep, usually
using a 16 inch plow with l4-nch
lathe, pulled by three or four horses.
The Campbell system is the thorough
plowing and narrowing of the land fol-
lowed by rolling or plankipg so as to
leave dust bed on top. AS soon as it
is moist enough to plow the land is
given deep plowing as stated. 1T Is
then left without narrowing until the
rains are about over 1t is then har-
rowed thoroughly. By this means all
the rain falling is Immediately absorbed
by the soil with but little evaporation,
the dust bed on top holding the mois-
ture in the ground.
"While Summerfallow is not pract!c
ed very extensively, where it is as soon
9s the weeds get up the land is disced
in the morning, then narrowed and

It was originally. BY this method but
title evaporation occurs while the
weeds are being killed, and leaves the
soil moist as it was before.
