An Evidence of Sanity

Now that the statistics relat-
ing to the accidents of different
character attending the recent
celebration of July 4th have been
published and a majority of our
people have settled down again
to the easy enjoyment of life, a
few irrepressable reformers have
begun to agitate the question of
a saner celebration of the coun-
try's natal day. The mayor of
Rochester, N. Y, in a message
to the city council, has recon-
mended an ordinance prohibiting
the sale of toy pistols and dan.
gerous fireworks in that city.
Some cities already have such
ordinances, and the W d
thereof has been repeatedly de-
monstrated. In Cleveland, o.,
the discharge of dangerous ex-
plosives is forbidden. In Spring-
field, Mass, the city itself as
sumes control of the fireworks at
every civic celebration. SINH
lar ordinances should be on the
statute books of every American
city. By beginning the work
today something may be &C
complished by the time for an
other celebration of the Fourth.

ceedingly rich in protein, the ele-
ment in which corn and other
crops r deficient, and hence it
serves admirably as a balance to
the feeding ration, saving the
purchase of high priced feedstuifs,
such as wheat bran; it is this quail
ity that makes it especially priced
as a factor in dairy husbandry. 1t
supplies the n requisite which
Providence had apparently failed
to provide in establishing the
otherwise ready-made conditions
for dairying in Kansas.
Kansas is unique i'll many
things, but in none more than in
the commanding position she DC
cupies in relation to alfalfa grow
ing. Her development in this in
dustry has been one of the mar
wells of her prolific agriculture,
and with alfalfa, as with winter
wheat, no other state is her equal
IN its area and production. 1t
makes poor land good and good
land better.
The widespread introduction
of alfalfa in the Suntlower state
has been one of the most impor-
tant factors in the increase of
bank deposits and the d d
wealth they represent. 1t has in
creased the states manufactures
through grinding the hay into
meal and the preparation of vari-
Gus valuable stock foods.
Kansas alfalfa, the report says,
is harvested for hay from three
to five times every season. A
yield OF from one to two tons an
acre is realized at each cutting,
Something of the increase of the
popularity of alfalfa in Kansas is
disclosed by the fact that in 1891
the entire area was but 34,2S4
acres.
In 1908 Jewell county alone had
more than 10000 acres; and in
1907 the state contained 40, 050
acres, or more than the land sur
face of the state of Rhode Island.
I'm $780," Mr.. Coburn adds, the
value of the tame hay crop of Kan
sas was , million dollars, while
that of 1907 was over 13H million
dollars. The annual value of pro-
ducts of live stock in that time
has been more than doubled, and
alfalfa has made Kansas one of
the foremost states in dairying.
Timothy and clover have been
long and favorably known as hay
plants, and occupy a high and
well earned place in the list of
such, wherever grown, but alfalfa
is their SUPERIOR

RICHARDSON COUNTY ALFALFA
There is a Royal Road to Riches
in This Plant

mense value of this plant were un-
derstood no farmer would be with
out it, and if every Richardson
county farmer would grow ten
acres of it the value of our hay
crop would increase one-thlrd.
Chris Horn of South Barada has
been growing alfalfa fer several
years and probably knows as
much about the proper method of
raising it as any one in the county
| saw his alfalfa field a few sun
days past and it was by far the
best | haye ever e Alfalfa,
however is more than a great feed,
it is the greatest soil renovation
known. For many years red
clover was supposed to be par-ex-
cellent as a soil remover, but every
experiment station are now agreed
that for this purpose alfalfa Is far
superior. The following is taken
from Secretary Coburn of Kansas
the greatest alfalfa expert in the
world.
Nc one more literally abets the
growth of two blades of grass
where one grew before than he
who effectively urges the cult
walton OF alfalfa upon those who
are strangers to it, and no one is
more truly working for the bene-
fit of agriculture, the basis of all
prosperity, than he who pro-
claims it's excellence as the fore
most forage.
The foregoing quotation, taken
from the writings of Ex-Governor
M. D. Hoard of Wisconsin, forms
the title page of a little booklet
entitled "Alfalfa's Affinity is
Out There in Kansas that has
just been ISSUED by F. d. Coburn.
secretary of the Kansas state
board of agriculture. The book
is handsomely printed and tells of
wonderful results that Kansas
far n1ers are securing by cultivat-
ing this great hay plant.
There was a time when it was
said that the biggest part of the
Kansas alfalfa crop reposed upon
the chin of a United States sena-
tor from the SunGower state.
Few persons outside of the state
know now that the alfalfa crop
of Kansas compares favorably to
the much touted blue grass crops
of Kentucky. The reason, per-
haps, that the world has not be-
fore been introduced to Miss AL
fa1fa of Kansas is that Secretary
Coburn has been pretty busy
with the majorcrops of the state.
Any other state would have
Dragged of its alfalfa crops long
ago had it made Kansas records
in this feedstuff. But according
to Kansas the big agricultural
crops OF the SunHower common
wealth have apparently made
Mr.. Coburn overlook it. Mr..
Coburn says rather apologeticallv
that the states area of alfalfa is
only a. great as the common
wealth of Rhode Island.
I'm Kansas alfalfa finds its
affinity" Mr. Coburn says, and
the farmers of the Sunfiower
state are taking advantage of
this fact, to their great profit.
1t is the stock food par excel
lence. and there is no other Just
as good. In Kansas alfalfa
growing was a prelude to pros
perity. From ~obscurity, alfalfa
has advanced to the foremost
rank of the hay plants and null
tiplled many times the states
output of tame hay. 1t is note
worthy, if not significant that

cedented prosperity dates from

The Law Will Stand.

Michigan's new constitution. which
goes into effect this week, will not in
the least affect the operation Of the
present local option law. If any coun-
ties knock out the saloon next April,
as now seems quite likely, the legal
bar will be absolute and the only in
gress to the liquor trough will be via
the blind pig" route.
That is the assertion of Victor Haw-
kins, of Jonesville, who was a member
of the committee on cities and vii
lagos, in the constitutional convention
and as such was one of the trainers of
the very clause in the new basic docu-
ment under which the liquor inter
ests had hoped to find the hole in the
loose board in the sty.
Mr.. Hawkins points to the fact that
local option is a general law. Sec. 81
of the constitution says:
Under such general laws (made by
the legislature for incorporation of
cities and villages) the electors Of
each city and village shall have power
and authority to frame, adopt and
amend its charter, and, through it's
regular constituted authority, to pass
all laws-apd ordinances relating TO it's

Under the constitution the attorney

in which they are submitted, but the
fact that the legal authority of the
