FOLLOW KANSAS.

That the dry land sections of Una
tilla county will produce alfalfa with
better results than are now obtained
in the counties of central Kansas is
declared by a former Kansan who is
now farming in this county He
points to the fact that the rainfall
here is greater than in Kansas, the
soil is better and there is less trou-
BILE from droughts.
Some years ago central Kansas was
"sorry" country. Neither wheat nor
corn could be raised with entire sue
cess Through necessity the farmers
were forced to try other crops. They
started in to raise alfalfa. At first
the idea was ridiculed and for a few
years the results were not always sat-
isfactory. But as the farmers learn
ed more and more about alfalfa and
as the variety raised became harder
and better adapted to the needs Of
the country, alfalfa raising became
more profitable. Central Kansas is
now great alfalfa district and an i'm
mense livestock feeding section.
At this time some alfalfa is being
raised by many wheat FARMERS in this
county But the business has not
been taken up to any extent because
wheatraislng has been very profit
able But land that will raise alfalfa
is more valuable than wheat land.
Furthermore, a ranch that produces
alfalfa as we'll as wheat will net
more money for it's owner than will
a ranch devoted exclusively to wheat
raising
1t is worth while for the farmers
of Umatilla county to take up the rails
ing of alfalfa. There is every reason
to ,lieve that it may be raised with
success. Should such prove to be
true, then the problem of country life
in this county and throughout the in
land empire will be settled. The great
wheat ranches will be broken up and
the country will become populated.

Can Now Eat ANYTHING.

Mr.. J. w. Pritchard, Columbia City,
Ind, writes: 81 am pleased to say that
I have been cured of cafarrh of the
stomach by Peruna.
II could hardly eat anything that
agreed with me. Before 1 would get
half through my meal my stomach
would fill with gas. causing -ce much
distress and unpleasant feelings for an
hour or two after each meal.

section, though 1t is not clear how
far the matter has progressed.
But why the people in the north
eastern part of this county should
want to secede from Umatilla is diff
f!cult indeed to understand. There is
as much need of new county up that
way as there is for five wheels upon
a wagon. They now have a represen-
tative upon the board of county COM
missioners and at the present time
secure everything they ask for. They
are in county that is free from debt
and has a property valuation of $4O,-
0OO,00O Should they form new coun>
ty their taxes would inevitably increase
for the simple reason that they alone
would then have to pay for a county
government, whereas they now bear
but a small portion of such an ex-
pense.
OF course, a new county IN the east
end would provide few jobs for am
bilious politicians and it would doubt
less be gratifying to Walla Walla. But
for the rank and file of the people it
would mean nothing but loss. If the
farmers and other property owners
in that section of the county are
alive to their best interests they will
squelch a new county movement,
should one be undertaken.
