tie less than that amount of grain
was made from an acre of alfalfa
pasture" Again, 1--WE found that 100
pounds of alfalfa hay saved SO
pounds of corn Figuring on the
basis of these experiments it is
stated that with green alfalfa produc
ing ten tons per acre 100000 pounds)
it would produce 200 pounds of pork,
which, at 4 cents per pound would
be worth $50 per acre.
Director Burkett of the Kansas
Station says; by promoting the
successful production of alfalfa the
Station has not only extended the
dominion of an imperial forage crop,
but in so doing has discharged its
own entire expense, and in addition
has added millions of dollars to the
wealth of the state"
At the Ontario Agricultural college
in ten years 80 cuttings, yielding
over tons an acre, were made. An
experiment shovel it's great soil en-
riching qualities. Wheat grown after
alfalfa yielded 61.5 bushels per acre
and after timothy sod 42.1 bushels.
In the two succeeding years the al
falfa sod produced S0.2 bushels Of
barley and 179 bushels corn. The
three crops on the alfalfa sod were
worth about $50 while those on the
timothy sou were worth about $5S.
At the Oregon Agricultural college
alfalfa has been growing successfully
for several years, and tests are be-
ing made by the agronomists with
different varieties to determine which
will suit the conditions best in this
state. The station men are glad at
all times to answer questions in re-
gard to it's cultivation.
A few miles from Corvallis, w. II.
Hamlin cut this year 200 tons of al
falfa hay. 1t yielded about 21a tons
to the acre in one cutting. Before
seeding to alfalfa the land had been
cropped out" In IA years IA grain
crops had been taken from the land,
and Mr.. Hamlin explains that on
richer land the yield is much heav-
ler. He further explains that the
oldest stand yields the best, show
ing that it takes several years on
certain classes of soil for the alfalfa
TO make good growth.
1t looks as though an alfalfa cam
paign would be worth millions to this
state.

MoRMONS HOLD SERVICES
SUNDAY IN OPERA HOUSE

The services held by the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
in the opera house Sunday afternoon
and evening, were fairly we'll at
tended. L. j. Jordan presided at
each meeting. F. S. Bramwell. presi-
dent of Union Stake, made strong
address at each meeting, explaining
the doctrines and beliefs of his
church, commonly called Mormon,
though he said that was but nick
name. Aside from the peculiar be-
liefs that are well known, such as in
continued revelation, and the divinity
of the Book of Mormon, he told of
others not so we'll known, such as
belief in the necessity of baptism by
immersion, the separateness Of the
God-head, the personal God, heaven
as a place, paradise as a place of
preparation and emphasis placed up
on the brotherhood Of man.
George Stoddard also spoke at the
afternoon meeting, and in the even
ing w. X. Davis, one Of the quar-
tette, made an excellent talk, dwell
ing especially upon the mission of
the church to elevate the temporal as
we'll as spiritual welfare of all men.
The singing by the famous Mormon
quartette was equal to every expec-
tation and was certainly fine. The
members are C. P. Ferrin and H. NJ.
Monson, tenors, w. K. Davis, bari
tone, and F. c. Bramwell, bass. The
quartette conducted services at Wal
Iowa in the forenoon and arrived in
Enterprise just in time to take part
in the evening service.
Mr.. Bramwell says the quartette,
accompanied by a reader, will proba
bly, return about the holidays and
give concert.

Agricultural Expert
Writes Of Alfalfa
Its Great Value To Semi-Arid Re-
gions-Worth Millions To
Oregon

Oregon Agricultural College Press
Bulletin, by James Dryden.)
There is good deal of milk in
the ground that was not spilled and
cried over, but it is there neverthe-
less. At certain seasons of the year
the Thousand Headed Kale pulls the
milk out of Mother Earth and the
cow pulls it out of the kale and puts
it in the bucket. There is a period,
however, during the summer when
the cows go hungry and the milk
languishes in the ground because
there is no green thing to pull it out
and coax the COW to fill the milk
bucket.
Western Oregon is one of the best
dairy sections in the Union. With
mild open winters in which kale
flourishes and furnishes green succu-
lent food, the dairy business thrlves
all the year around with the eXcep-
tion of short period in the summer
During this period the land is out of
commission, the cows barely subsist
on the pasture fields and there is no
profit to the farmer. Forty cent but
ter and scarcity of good fresh milk
is the evidence of a lack of green
food.
What is needed in the valley is a
forage crop that will utilize the soil
and furnish green food during the
dry season. Will alfalfa fill the bill?
II alfalfa could be raised extensive.
ly and successfully it would change
the face Of nature and add immense
| ly to the value of the farms in the
Willamette valley. 1t would increase
the dairy products and the poultry
products; it would cheaper the pro
duction of pork and beef and mutton
A good summer forage crop is the
one thing needful.
Alfalfa has been grown for two
thousand years in the Mediterranean
region. 1t has been grown success
fully in arid American for half a
century. A gentleman travelling over
what was then regarded as land un-
fit for settlement in western Ne
braska by reason of its aridity dis
covered a thrifty green alfalfa plant
growing where no other green thing
could be found for miles around.
That was demonstration that salts.
| fled the gentleman and he purchased
large tract of land for trifle. On
the same land he has since fed fifty
thousand sheep in one season on al
falfa. Alfalfa goes down into the
depths Of the soil for moisture aud
through wireless communication with
the atmosphere brings down from
above food which feeds the plant ant
enriches the soil
Since 1891 the acreage Of alfalfa II
Kansas has increased from 34,38S to
$4,000 in 1906. A recent bulletin
from that state says of alfalfa: "The
steer feeders and mutton feeders oi
Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska
would be lost without It,"
At the Kansas station II Is stated;

DEFEAT.

The boiling Democrats W h o
elected Mr.. Bradley Senator are
saloon keepers, druggist -blind-tiger
and whiskey sympathizer. Their
action was a compliment to
Gov. Beckham. Defeat is prefer
able to some things. They did
not like Mr.. Beckham because he
had used his influence in behalf of
temperance legislation and against
violations of temperance laws in
Louisville, and they went after
him. They had a chance to defeat
him and they did it.
Some people think they sold out
to the Whiskey trust. We prefer
to think they used their opportun-
ity to have vengeance Of him.

The u. S. Postoftice De-

ruling, requiring all publish
ers of newspapers to exact
the pay in advance for all
subscribers whose papers are
carried in the mails at the
second-class rate, or one cent
per pound. Otherwise the
postage rate would be pro
hibitory. All publishers are
given a limited time in
which to adjust their sub
scription list to the new rul-
ing. Therefore all our sub
scribers are requested to at
once pay up in advance, else
when the time limit expires
we shall be compelled to
stop sending the paper ex-
cept to those who have paid
IN advance.

A STRONG TESTIMONIAL.

Tom Jennings, indicted in a
number of cases in the Rowan
Circuit Court for the illegal sale
of whisky, on Monday last asked
the court, through counsel, to con-
tinue the cases for him pending
good behavior. His statement
for continuance in some respects
was remarkable, he saying among
other things that he had served
number of Jail sentences, had
paid fines until he was now penLi-
less and had concluded to quit the
business of illegally selling whisky;
that he wanted to live in Rowan
county and had become convinced
that he could not do so and sell
whisky illegally so long as Judge
Young was on the bench. Such
confessions on the part of law
breakers proves conclusively that
the law can be enforced and that
we have greater need for
officers who will enforce the law
than for more laws. 1t gives us
pleasure to express our satlsfac-
ton with the manner in which
Judge Young enforces the law.

IOUS WORDS.

w. B. Hawkins, of Lexington, is
a prominent worker in the Society
of Equity, a man of reputed ability.
In a recent article in the Lexington
Herald he used these words:
"What will you do, SOW your
beds and begin the year of torment,
for it will be 800 days of hell for
YOU, sleepless nights, alarm at
every noise-what are the riders
doing nowl Are they only scrap
inc the plant beds, are they after

do not hug to Yourself a delu-
sion and say it will not come to

est? When the riders start, are
YOU so good that you will escapeF
Il only have put it to you as 1t
is-'hee from the wrath to come;
for if you plant tobacco you are
sowing the whirlwind.
"Muttering and mumblings are
heard on all sides. The outraged
farmers will not stand prosecutions
always, and | say to you that in
my opinion trouble will come to
you if a crop is planted in 1908.
(Signed) w. B. Hawkins"
Mr.. Hawkins is a prominent
farmer and tobacco grower. He is
also a member of one of Lexlng-
tons largest congregations of
Christians. We regret that he
should possess the spirit evidently
prompting such utterances. Even
if he cherishes it, 'twould have
beel better for public peace and
safety and morals if he had not
expressed it. Whether or not he
intended thereby to encourage such
acts of lawlessness as have brought
re Dr0ach to our state, his utter
ances will lead men to believe that
he winks at or openly advocates
then. Good men should not do
this. We are in sympathy with
the farmers who seek in an honor
able. lawful concerted action to
better their financial condition
but no encouragement should be
given to men to commit violence.
LATER. MIR. Hawkins has sta
ted in print that his remarks have
not been correctly interpreted.
He makes no threat. He does not
mean to encourage violence.
