midnight sessions held this week.
Tuesday evenings session was start
ed with the discussion of the proposed
franchise of the Mutual company, and
grew very warm soon after it was op-
ened.
One of the provisions in the fran
chise being asked would compel the
city to pay a rental of 10 per cent. OF
the bonded Indebtedness Of the com
many. In other words, if the city
should rent or lease the plant after its
installation, the company would re
ceive as a rental 10 per cent. of the
bonded indebtedness. Thus, If tho
bonded indebtedness of the company
were $4,000, the city would have to
nav the promoters $1,000 per year for
the use of the plant when leased. In
addition the city must pay the interest
on the bonds, which would be, at the
yery least, five per cent; keep the
plant and everything pertaining to II
in good repair. Barnes objected to

Waking Up.

Judging by the signs of the times
Versailles and Morgan county, after
nearly a two years rest, is waking up
and getting ready for business. The
new Moser $40. 900 ice rlart was put
in motion this week, and is now turn
ing out the frozen liquid in large
chunks sufficient to supply this entire
section of country. The whistle on
the new Ouachita Brick and Clay
plant was footed this week for the
first time, and they are now about
ready for business. The farmers are
busy gathering the largest crops of all
kinds for years, and at the high
prices wealth in large quantities will
roll into their Golfers, many from the
older states are seeking this land oi
opportunity. for now is the accepted
time, as Morgan county lands will nd

her great natural resources, and the
push and enterprise Of her busting
citizens in material way she has. in
our opinion, higher claim to being

majority of her business men and
women are church members. even

them was run by a church member

their names on the church books. 1t

County Exhibitors.

! am pleased to inform the readers
OF your paper that now have a sup
ply of State Fair Premium Lists in
my office for distribution to those who
are interested in making exhibits at
the Missouri State Fair at Sedalia this
fall. Tie State Fair dates are Octo-
Der 2nd to Sth.
Our State Fair is growing at a rapid
rate and the Premium List each year
shows increased premiums and adj
ditional departments and hope that
large number OF exhibits will be
made by citizens of this county.
There is no better opportunity to adj
vertisc the resources of our county
than to make good exhibits at the
State Fair.
The Directors are making a special
effort this year for big corn show in
addition to the regular. agricultural
exhibits. The premiums for county
exhibits are large and will more than
pay the expense OF getting toge,he, a
good exhibit.

to make success with it on such lands.
The Missouri Agriculture Experiment
Station has been conducting experiments
with alfalfa for a number Of wears both at
Columbia and in number of localities
in various parts of the state and from the
results of these experiments it is able to
give the following concise directions re.
garding the handling of the crop.
First. On uplands the best time to
sow alfalfa is almost invariably in late
summer or early fall, from the 18th OF
August to the Is Of September being
best. On rich bottoms or very fertile up
and frequently better results
Second. The ground should be
plowed deep as early in the summer as
possible and kept worked down by fire.
quent narrowing until time to SOW. One
of the best crops to precede alfalfa is
clover, blowing immediately after har.
vesting the first crop. Late plowing
leaves the ground too loose and causes
the plants to freeze out.
Third. Practically all uplands need
incubation with the nitrogen fixing bac-
terra which iuhabit the roots of alfalfa
Bottom lands usually cont ain these bac.
terra incubation is best accomplished
by scattering on the land from 20O to 400
pounds per acre of soil from an old a!fal-
fa field and narrowing Immediately.
Fourth. The seed should be strong in
termination and free from weeds or tod-
der and it should he sown at the rate of
ID TO 20 pounds per acre on a well pre-
pared seed bed without a nurse crop and
lightly narrowed in.
. Fifth. If the land is of only medium
fertility it will be necessary to apply from
to u tons of manure per acre to insure
a stand and to bring sufficient yield &c
make The stand profitable.
Sixth. If the grass is troublesome i.
may be controlled by cultivating the
land after the second and third cutting
with dull spring tooth harrow or with
a disc set at a moderate angle, following
with a drag harrow. There is little dan
ger OF injuring the alfalfa by such cult
= vation and the result Will be more
: thrifty growth of the plants and the con.
, troll ot the grass.
Seventh. II is almost always best t,
begin with a small area Of alfalfa, rarel,
over five acres, and learn to handle the
t crop before attempting large areas.

For some time President Taft has
been much puzzled in trying to ans
wcr the questions: what is whis-

kinds of ntoXiCantS have been before
him, telling him Just what it is. But
their interests do not quite agree,
consequently their answers differ.

parties concerned until July 10 to
file their briefs, and proposes to wait
ten days longer before he gives his
definition While he is waiting to
decide, we will try and define it for
him. Whiskey is that accursed liquid

A MISSOURI farmer has realized S46
per acre on his wheat crop. This is
a high yield, even for Missouri, but
ii it was to have been expected any
where, it might have been expected
in this state, which has some of the
best land in the countfy-and lots of
it. The state Of Kansas, barring the
extreme western portion; the east
two-thirdg OF Nebraska and all of
Iowa cchstitute an almost unbroken
l.higlily cultivated, enormously pro-
ductive domain. These states have
been fixed in the national mind as
the great agricultural states of the
lower Missouri Valley. The fact that
considerable part Of Missouri's area
is mountainous and not suitable for
tllling-although much of that land
is ideal for fruit growing-has some
