Salipa Journal: Last year tie
road masters along the Union Pacilic
railroad sowed the right of way to
alfalfa, and for a short time there
were indicat ions that this scheme to
clear the right of way of weeds would
be a success. During the last few
days, however, it has developed that
the crop is not getting along as well
as it should and the company has
come to the conclusion that the road
masters are not good farmers. Road
master Cherry stated this morning
that arrangements are now being
made to lease the ground along the
railroad to the farmers en- either side
of the line, and they will sow 1T to
alfalfa. 1t is believed the farmers
will make d better success of the
crop. 1t is not the intention of the
railroad company to make much
money off the leases but it is expect
ed that a big saving will be made in
labor in keeping the weeds down.
which has heretofore been a great eX-
pense. The weeds are. usually burn
ed and occasionally the fire gets
away from the workman and causes
trouble.
