Conquest of the Desert.

Soon the day will come when there
Will be no grassless land in our
country any more than there is a
great American desert between here
and the Missouri river. Alfalfa is
to make conquest of the desert
Those who develop new or improve
an old variety of fruit, food or fod-
der, are greater than those who rule
in the White House or hunt lions in
Africa. From the Missouri to the
Pacific is the land of the alfalfa. 1t
spreads the domain of possible
homes. 1t builds houses of comfort
and great barns. 1t is the fortunes
purse of modern agriculture. 1t
sends Sam to college and Mary to
the normal school. 1t helps mother
in hundred ways and puts a flash
of independence, if not impudence,
in dads eyes.
1t relieves the tension of unend-
ing toll, pays the mortgage, improv-
es the stock, adds to the returns
from the stock yards and creamery,
makes the farmer depositor, not
debtor in the bank, buys automo-
biles and pianos for the family,
links the farm house by telephone
with the neighbors and the world.
What the Bessemer patent was to
the iron industry thirty years ago,
alfalfa promises to be to the west
ern farmer. 1t is better and safer

Could Moses have eaten Colorado
alfalfa and pea fed hog, the bible
would have carried a commendation
and not a prohibition of swine. The
prototype of the clover fields that
wintered the flocks of Abraham are
seen in the alfalfa meadows of Colo
rado, which viewed from our little
mills in these arid days of a dry
summer look like splendid emeralds
upon the breast of desert. These
are permanent assets in the ledger
of mans resources. Commerce may
fade and fleets may sink. Empires

MURPHY To FIGHT
RULE REVISION
Cub Magnate Says 1t Is the Work Of
Ban Johnson and Is Therefore
Obnoxious To Him.

CHICAGO. Jan Eff President
Murphy of the Chicago Cubs adheres
TO his determination 70 vote against
any changes in the present playing
rules. it is likely that the National and
Am arican Leagues will play next sea
son under differing regulations. The
changes have been advocated by Pres
ident Johnson OF the American League
and this fact alone is enough 10 make
Murphy oppose them
To me the proposed changes look
favorable TO the American League,
said Murphy today. They are the
work OF Johnson and when the ques'
ton comes mp for vote at the Ma
tional League meeting next month |
viii vote against them That means
that We will not reach an agreement.
The American League Is already
practically on record in favor OF the
changes and Is expected 10 adopt
them.
Murphy declined TO discuss the re-
port that Catcher John King had ar
ranged TO return 10 The Cubs. Muir
ply does not deny however. that such
a deal is pending. 1t is clear from his
attitude that he fears TO say too much
right now. believing he might spoil
any chance King may have TO be re-
instated In organized baseball.
