Best Results OF Various Experiments
With Alfalfa.
In Cheyenne county. Neb.. Brott
brothers have been experimenting with
alfalfa nine years, reports a western
man In Orange Judd Farmer. At first
they sowed alfalfa seed broadcast,
which Is the common method under ir-
rigation. An experience OF nine years
has shown them that broadcast seed
ing does not give the best results In
dry seasons. At an elevation OF some
thing more than 1900 feet there Is not
always sufficient moisture during the
driest seasons to perfect a good crop
Of seed when grown by the broadcast
method.
Using a Two Row Cultivator.
In the course Of their experiments
Brott brothers have tested drilling in
eighteen to twenty-five inch drills
They have found that In drills of this
width the kind of cultivation that can
be given to the alfalfa plant in narrow
rows does not secure the best results
During the more recent years they
have tested seeding alfalfa for a seed
crop in drills thirty-six to forty inches
apart This allows the use OF two
row cultivator, enabling man with a
good team on half mile rows to cult
vate eighteen to twenty acres daily
They find that TO secure the best re-
suits in conserving moisture they
should cultivate TO the depth of four
inches, cultivating four to five times
during the season.
II Pods Freely.
On these high table lands alfalfa
drilled in rows thirty to forty inches
apart branches widely, pods freely and
develops a better seed crop than un-
der any other method so far tested. II
Is their purpose to cultivate 100 acres
of alfalfa the coming season and to
enlarge their plant as rapidly as they
can break the prairie and get the land
under cultivation.
The method which they now pursue
ia to place fields under cultivation in
the early spring, thus conserving the
winter moisture, then keep the soil
loose and In good filth until the LIST Of
August and seed with a drill. This
method avoids a weed crop.

Poultry Produots and Wheat.

The values Of poultry products now
reach an annual figure Of half bill
Hon dollars or more, or an amount
about equal to the value Of the wheat
crop. The price Of eggs has been high
and growing highsr for several years,
because cousumers have wanted more
eggs than have besn produced. The

The Tomato Crop.

The tomato Is not specially exhaust
ing crop. Tomatoes do not remove as
much plant food from soils as most
farm crops at the usual rates Of prod
net per acre, states T. II. White.
The refuse Of the crop from an acre
Of tomatoes contains more fertiiizing
material than similar remains Of most
other crops.
4 The vines and roots Of tomatoes are
very rich In potash. ~
The residue Of the tomato crop should
Be evenly spread and plowed under.

TR||'sTATE MEET IS ASSURED
President Penrose and Professor Hen
drick to Make Invitation Tours
In Inland Empire.

Preparations for the big tri-state
track meet to be held under the GUS
pieces Of Whitman college were fur.
thered yesterday by the faculty giving
their official sanction to the plan for
the big interscholastic contest and the
decision of President Penrose and Pro-
fessor Hendrick to go on a personal
tour of invitation to the different high
schools and academies.
May and May 3 have been selected
as the dates for the great contest and
an interscholastic defamation contest
will be held on one of the evenings.
The big secondary schools of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho will be asked
to send teams to the meet. This will
make it one of the largest of its kind
ever held in the northwest because
state institutions can only invite
schools within the state in which they
are located while Whitmans field is
only limited by expediency.

Parker hospital last night, dangerously
ill of diptheria.
DR.. Phillips. who is one of the young
est members of the staff, gladly ac-
copied the assignment to the contagion
wards two weeks ago. He had to deal
with erysipelas, diptheria and other
equally contagious diseases. but he en-
tered upon his task fearlessly, even
gladly. He wanted to make a record
for himself by curing the most danger
Gus cases. 1t is believed he overtaxed
his strength and was therefore, more
easily victim when attacked.
DIR. Somerset, of the Board of Health.
was summoned to attend DR.. Phillips
two days ago. 1t was quickly seen that
the patient was in a serious condition
and that dread diphtheria was the
cause. Every precautiOn attended his
removal last night to Willard Parker
hospital.

lips has been stricken while on duty.

ordered to the country and Immediately

cial train was ordered, and he was
brought from Savannah, N. Y. to the
hospital, where the older surgeons, who
greatly admired his courage, gave him
every attention.
