ROCKEFELLER OPTIMISTIC

MT. John D. Rockefeller in an interview recently discussed in most optimistic tones the com- mercial and financial condition of the country. He spoke of its immense natural resources and declared that the prosperity ot the United States has not yet reached it's climax; that Oppor- tunities, instead of being past, are multiplied a thousand fold.
 "The centralized corporation IS the necessity of progress, " says the creator of the Standard Oil Company, and on this point he speaks bravely and truthful fly. The corporation supplants | individual effort in business as the machine has displaced hand labor, and however we may rail against corporations, no one cares to return to primitive con dltlons. That corporations are a necessity in the complex life of thls generation no one but a demagogue attempts to deny
 but the problem of the day IS tc put the corporation in it's proper place where it will be the homes servant of the public. MT. Rock efeller, with that keen percep tion which has made him th'
 business genius that he is, see'
 the tendency of the times ant
 covers the whole case when h'
 declares that; "It is incumben ! upon them (the business inter
 ests) to convince our own peopl
 that they are worthy of thel full confidence as observers o law and conservators of the gen uine public interest"

Alfalfa; I.70 acres: This was sown May lo, 1905 yielding three cuttings of about five toIs of clean hay the first season. During the sec ond season, covered by this Timely Hint. there were seven cuttings with a total oI about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was S22 fl for irrigatinS water. The labor re- quired was, mans time, l4 days and team nine days, which is rather high labor requlre- nlent for this alfalfa on account of the small size of the field under consideration, and linn ited use of machinery. This crop at @ OO to S1O.OO a ton, loose, which has been the prlce this season, represents cash return of not less thar SI20.OO for the crop; but this hay was used to feed the team employed on the place, proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose, since stack of about three tons re- p1ains at the end of the season. The manure from this source. being free from Bermuda grass seed, was especially valuable for fertll- | iZing a part of the crops grown.

The amount of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at the tr8nsplanting time. One days team work in preparing the land and about 32 days, men $ lime were required to bring it through, al though the work was not heavy and could have been largely performed by boys. The yield was low owing to the desert and unier- fiIiZed character of the soil, onions requiring large amounts of organic matter in the soil to give good results.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about l5 working days, Wi;h team l% days. The Sesbania used as green nlanuf- ing on the west half Of the potato ground was given l7 irrigations. Bermuda grass, more over, fiourished beneath the sesbania to such
 an extent as subsequently, to require 2 days
 labor for cleaning up the .f5 acres so fertllZed
 Although the larger part of the crop came
 from the sesbania feTtili2ed portion of the po- tatoes, this method of cnriching the soll proved very costly, 7 days mans time and 5 days teamwork being required to put the ses- hania under and afterwards get rid of the
