The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1910-06-17

On Wednesday afternoon when
Mr.. Maxwell was passing
through Canyon with what ap-
peared as part of a railroad
graders outfit, considerable eX-
citement was displayed among
the anti-workers that were in
Evidence around the square.
The thought came home to a
number as to the days when
this same gentleman graded the
line west and the line that is
extended south to the prosper
Gus city of Lubbock. A NUN ber
had not heard of another rail
road being constructed in this
locality, but the graders were
before their eyes and this all
convincing evidence was not
enough to satisfy their curiosity
so a delegation interviewed
some of the men in charge of the
caravan, and were informed that
they were tn rough with the con
tract south of this place and
were now on the way to Mr..
Maxwell's ranch to commence
wheat harvest next week as he
had some 400 acres to harvest.

proved to be more profitable with
less labor than any other crop
attempted. There is every rea-
son to believe that the Panhandle
country will not only supply its
own demands for this valuable
forage, but will ship alfalfa by
the train loads into less favored
communities within a period of
a very few years. Not only will
this Northwest Panhandle coun-
try of Texas be selling hay, but
some of the pureSt alfalfa seed
furnished the market will come
from this section also.
Alfalfa,- = This is one of the
most valuable plants we have,
and it should be grown on every
farm adapted to it. Considering
its present market value, it, un-
doubtedly, is considered by
some, too valuable to use as pas.
ture, but in localities where it is
made into hay, it can be used to
an advantage as a green forage
crop, cutting it and putting it in
the silo, or cutting and hauling
it fresh every few days for the
diary cows.
One of the advantages of alfal-
fa growing in the Panhandle is
found in the impetus given to
hog or swine raising. Every al
falfa grower should have his
drove of hogs and by grazing
them at the proper time on his
alfalfS fields, he has them ready
for market at slight expense.
Panhandle grown hogs fattened
on alfalfa have taken the top
prices at FIT. Worth, and premi-
umS at many exhibits.
1t is estimated that the Pan
handle has over $4,000 acres in
alfalfa. Among some of the
leading counties that is found
growing this valuable crop can
mentioned Randall County, 5000
acres; Deaf Smith, 1000; Hale,
$500; Willbarger, 1000; Dalham,
1000 and other counties have 500
acres and over. These estimates
are minimum and do not include
new fields.
This climate is peculiarly ad-
apted to the curing and putting
up of this excellent forage crop
from the fact that nights are
cool, and refreshing breezes
that usally blow at night, keeps
it from moulding even when il
becomes wet with rain, which
happened the first of the week
Nowhere has the writer seen
a more pleasing sight than the
alfalfa harvest that has been go
ing on during the past ten days
1t looks good enough for human
food, such a bright green colored
sweet-scented forage, it is not t
be wondered that domestic ami
mails get excited when this sta
pie crop is exhibited to them.

Raising Alfalfa in the Panhandle.

1t is only a few years since
some venturesome spirits advan-
ced the theory that alfalfa might
be raised on Texas land without
irrigation. Perhaps ten years
would cover the time when not
single blade of alfalfa could be
found in the northwestern Pan
handle part of the State. Since
then many experiments have
been tried; some of them sue
cessful from the start and others
proving repeated failures. But
alfalfa seems pretty well rooted
now in the Panhandle portion of
Texas, Judging from the report
of a correspondent of the Dallas
News.
Very little alfalfa is found in
the eastern and central parts of
the state, and its growth is con
fined principally to the trans
Canadian part of the Panhandle
where some of the best alfalfa
can be found in the State, while
near and south of Amarillo, in
the vicinity of Canyon and south
until the Plainview country is
reached and where sub-irrigatiOn
is found, alfalfa is of the very
best grown in the state.
Alfalfa is adapted to deep, mel
low, well drained soil containing
an abundance of lime. The soil
and climate here have proven to
be just the thing for proper pro
duction of alfalfa and the lands,
especially those along the creeks
and rivers in Randall County
which are sub-irrigated. produce
that fine quality of hay which is
much desired for feeding pur-
poses. 1t does not grow so much
to the stem but produces the
fine product, so much desired by
all feeders.
Meadows on these snb-irriga-
ted lands are producing from /
to 6 tons per acre yearly of this
fine feed. The uplands, while
not so productive for alfalfa as
the sub-irrigated lands, have
shown that they are profitable
and on an average will yield
from 2 to tons per acre besides
yielding the finest kind of pas
turage for hogs, cattle, horses
and mules, and it might be sta
ted, in fact any of the domestic
animals including fowls.
If proper conditions do not
prevail the sowing of alfalfa
would not be advisable unless
the conditions could be made
suitable by proper drainage, fer
tilizing, lining of the soil. lr
some instances alfalfa does moi
succeed on account of the lack o.
the proper bacterium in the sol
which forms tubercles on the
roots of plants and facilitate the
absorption of nitrogen from the
atmosphere. This trouble may
be corrected by inoculating the
soil with some dirt secured from
field in which alfalfa has beer
growing successfully. Only
few bushels of earth would be
required to inoculate severa
acres.
In various parts of the Panhan
die, small areas are found that
are sub-irrigated and these lands
are being put into this valuable

Mermaid Bathers.

This season the police doing duty al
the nearby watering places have re
ceived an unusual number of com
plants against persons who seem i'm
bued with the idea that the only prof.
table way to battle is in the garb of
mother Eve. At no less than three of
the beaches it has been necessary to
put on SPECIAL watchers to apprehend
bathers who insist upon taking an
early morning dip in the aforemen-
TONED attire-or lack of it. Strange
to say, the majority of the offenders
are women. At one place on States
Island two offenders, who own cot
tages, created such a sensation by
their morning additions that protesting
cottagers went to the beach and en-
deavored to drive them away. They
refused to go, however, and sat on the
peach for more than an hour, declar-
ing that they were minding their own
business, quite unlike some other
folks with whom they had come in
contact.

If Partisan Sage does not stop fall

and her hair is coming in again very

abiding nuisances of the young men

as a trysting place has been the habit
of small boys to quietly steal up be.

and suddenly strike a match in their
faces or turn the full glare of toy

annoyed young people have been too
bashful to complain and the nuisance
has continued undated. But not so

has put in each of the borough parks

away rowdies and boys who take the

sleep in the parks The boys will
have their revenge, however, and al
