R.ll.tt, On All,l.a

The importance OF alfalfa to Western
farmers cannot well be overestimated.
A single ton of alfalfa may save the
lives of many head of stock by provid-
ing feed during short periods of cold.
stormy weather. Alfalfa cannot be eX-
celled rs "a preparatory crop on soils
that have long been unproductive. Like
wise IL maintains the fertility of soils
naturally rich in plant food, and if used
MS u base of rotation makes possible
abundant crop yields of various kinds.
Notwithstanding it's present import
ance and great value in irrigation farm
ing. the profits on the area NV i'll al
falfa can he greatly increased if more
care and skill are exercised in growing
y.
Perhaps the most essential conditions
for the production of alfalfa are abund-
ant sunshine, a high Summer tempera-
ture, sufficient moisture, and a rich.
deep well drained soil. All of these
essentials, save moisture, exist natural
" in the arid region of the United
States, and when water is supplied it
makes the conditions ideal. Although
alfalfa can be successfully grown under
a wide range of soil conditions, yet all
Western lands are not equally well
adapted to its growth.
How to determine the suitability of
land for growing alfalfa under irriga'
ton, rs well us how toprepare the land,
is told in Farmers Bulletin 373, "Irriga'
ton of Alfalfa" recently issued by the
United States Department of Agricul'
ture. The bulletin discusses the various
methods of irrigating the crop and gives
much useful information in connection

Greatest Year For Farmer

Most prosperous of all years is the
place to which 1909 is entitled in agri-
culture, declares Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson in his thirteenth annual
report, made public. The value of farm
products is so incomprehensible large
that it has become merely II row of
figures. For this year it is So, $50, 900,
600, u gain of 1860, 000, 900 over 1908.
The valne of the products has nearly
doubled IN ten years.
The report says: Eleven years of
pgricHIt4r", beginning with a produc-
ton of SHIT. 600. 900 and ending with
IS, 100, 900, 900! a sum of SO, 600, 900. 900
for the period! 1t has paid off mort
cages, it has established banks, it has
made better homes. it has helped to
make the farmer a citizen of the world.
and it has provided him with mean
more productive"
The most striking fact in the worlds
agriculture is the value of the corn crop
of 1900, which is about 81, 720. 900, 900.
1t nearly equals the valIe of the cloth
ing and personal adornments of 10000,
900 people, according to the census of
1900. This crop exceeds i'll value the
average of the crop of the five proceed
ing years by 30 per cent.
Cotton is now the second crop in
value. and this years cotton crop is
easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has been produced.
Third in value is wheat, worth about
8 $72T. 600. 900 at the farm, AMI this large.

The hay crop is valued at $500, 900.

ing installed on the battleship Indiana.
II is designed to stop a swift boat with

given an official trial in Delaware Bay.
The appliance was placed on the IN
diana by authorization OF President
Roosevelt. and tie American navy will
be the first TO make use Of it, although
its inventor is a British subject An
other feature IS its power to enable
vessel to turn almost as II il were

If anything suddenly doomed up ahead,
swing completely around in half her
length when the brake on one side was
released. Two ships approaching head
on in a fog and unable to see one an
other until ffty yards apart, could
swing instantly away when either re-
leased a starboard brake.
Upon instructions of the last Presi-

 An entire afternoon was spent in discussing the Parks bill which was taken up shortly before the noon hour. and which passed al o'clock in the afternoon by vote of ol to 22. No lengthy speeches on the measure were made by anyone, but nearly a half of the membership discussed the bill. speaking either for or against 1t. The argument against the bill in gen eral was based on the claim that X, 0. Pindall should not have remained in the office, but that he should have called a special election for new governor.
