More Boosting For Arkonsas NahIey

Charles Auckland Of the Auckland
Agricultural company, of Olney, Colo,
landed at the yards November 18TH
with five carloads OF cattle. This
company owns 1900 acres Of land,
most Of which Is under irrigation.
They got it cheap twenty years ago
when land was cheap, and now their
farm Is very valuable. Several years
ago when beet raising was begun,
they raised beets u few years, and it
Is said they broke the sugar beet
record three years ago when they pro-
duced on forty acres thirty-eight tons
OF beets, which was sold for $500 per
ton, or $l9O per acre. But they aban-
doned beet raising after that and
went to raising alfalfa, and now there
Is On the farm about 500 acres OF alfal-
IA. This season they raised over 4,OOO
tons OF the hay. There Is on the
place modern alfalfa grinding mill
with a capacity OF eight tons an hour.
High grade cattle are kept, and hog
raising is also one OF the paying in
dustries on the farm.
"Alfalfa is the great CONNIE rcial
crop Of the irrigated districts Of that
state" said Mr.. Auckland. 1.-The
quality OF the alfafa is first class. The
demand for it is ahead OF the supply.
and so the man who can raise it Is
sure OF big profit on his crop. The
country where we are located Is level
and very productive. The only thing
that IS needed TO insure regular and
big paying crops Is water. Under
irrigation the crop Is assured as We
have the sunshine and the best OF
weather. All our alfalfa land IL under
irrigation. Besides being good pay
inR crop alfalfa does not impoverish
the soil. Sugar oeets or any other
crop will in time reduce the fertility
Of the soil, and then the e.crop must be
changed. But In raising alfalfa we
can 20 right along Indefinitely. just
now everything Is looking we'll out

overstocked, and stock will be well

Tho Preacher

Last eve sought the church and
heard a gifted pastor preach the
Word. He talked Of men whose days
were DER 1000 years ago or more. He
talked OF kings whose bones were
dust, whose scepters were reduced to
rust so long ago their stories seem
like fragments of summer dream.
He said no word of those who strive
In this old world. intense, alive. who
fight their battles every day, obscure
ly, in feeble way. I'd just as soon
be In the dark concerning Father
Noah's ark; l care not for the tents
OF Baal, or Joseph's corn or Jonah's
whale; l want to hear my pastor talk
about the people on this block, whose
lives are full OF stings and smarts,
whose problems often break their
hearts. I'd rather learn some way to
cheer some hopeless toiler struggling
here, than learn how Pharoah blew
his dough. about 5000 years ago. The
dust Of kings In ancient ground Is
worth half a cent q pound; and
Ashur's widows tears were dried be-
fore old Julius Caesar died; the things
OF which my pastor talks are dead as
Adams brindled ok, but all around
us there are cries, and wringing hands
and weeping eyes. He'll have to get
his text on straight, and bring his
gospel up to date.-Walt Mason In

the high esteem in which he is
already held among the older
members, The interest and APP
plause accorded him throughout
was evidence of the worth OF his
speech, which was about an hour
in length. Mr.. Helm has seldom
talked. except to answer roll calls
Che claims TO have answered more

but when he does talk he evidently
studies and prepares what he has to
say. This was even more evident
in his speech Of last Thursday than
it was in his speech on the tariff
at the extra session. His position
on the Insular Affairs COMMITTEES
has given him an opportunity to
study the mail subsidy grab in all
OF its phases, and he has improved
said opportunities.
