ALFALFA GIVES BIG CROPS

Mary Missouri Farmers Receive Al
Annual Yield Of & Tens Per Acre.
The value of alfalfa as hay crop
is not generally recognized by the
farmer Yet it will give from three
to five cuttings annually, yielding from
one-half to one and one-half tons per
acre for each cutting, depending upon
the richness Of the soil, thickness Of
the stand and character Of the sea-
son. An average yield, when the
plants are we'll set on soils to which
the crop is well adapted, is one ton
FOR each cutting, giving an annual
yield of about four tons. Many farm
ers exceed this yield on good soils,
some even doubling it, but the figures
given are conservative for good al
falfa soil On thin lands the yield
may drop to one-half ton per cutting,
or even less, but such soils are not
adapted to alfalfa unless barnyard
manure is literally supplied.
Reports received from eight farm
ers growing alfalfa in Holt county
give an average yield of six and one
half tons per acre. From fifteen farm
ers reporting from Pemiscot county
the average is approximately five tons
per acre. These farmers are grow
ing alfalfa on the bottom lands to
which the crop is we'll adapted. On
The uplands of Cass county ten farm
ors out of fifteen reporting. give L
yield above three tons, while seven
Of these report yields OF four and one
half tons or over. One reports six
tons.
The foregoing statements are given
TO indicate the possibilities of alfalfa
growing as reported by farmers who
have made a success of the crop in
Missouri. This undoubtedly repre-
sents the maximum as to yields and
profits, but other farmers can do as
we'll with proper handling of the
crop.

PEACHES IN MARKET
LUSCIOUS FRUIT is NOW TO BE
HAD IN MANKATO.
With the Disappearance of Oranges and
Apples, Peach, Apricot and Cherry
Now Take Their Place; Missouri
Crop of Strawberries Finished Up;
Pineapple Crop Good; Lemons and
Grapefruit High.

The first peaches and apricots arrived
on the Mankato market today, both
commission houses getting them in.
They are from California and include
Hale's Early and Triumphs. Albertas
will come later. They are selling about
81 a case.
The list of seasonabe fruits is rap
idly broadening. and spell of hot
weather would soon put the appearance
of the retail district on "a strict sum
mer basis. Trade has been exception
ally good considering the cool weather.
and fruits of all kinds stand up well
allowing them to be carried long dis
tances and arriving in desirable shape.
The Missouri crop of Strawberries Is
finished up, but Indications are favor
able for large amount from Illinois
and the Sparta district. Values are
back to SD per case for 24s, and while
the general outlook indicates heavier
supplies than expected earlier in the
season, the price range will not go
much if any. lower for good berries
The home grown crop Is expected to be
about half of the average, on account
of the May frosts, and it is hardly
likely that the crop will be large
enough to weaken the general situation
Fully 80 per cent of the Minnesota
crop is usually shipped into western
and northern territory in average
years; and as those districts usually
wait for the Minnesota crop on ac
count of the finer quality and lower
carrying charges than from the south
there is no reason to believe but what
they will demand their full share this
year if they can get them. The differ
ent local fruit growing associations are
already over-run with orders in eX-
cess of what they believe they can
fill.

SMITH SOUGHT WARRANT
CLAIMS THAT HE WAS VICTIM
OF AN ASSAULT.
Can See No Satisfactory Reason Why
One Cooper Should Have Given
His a Beating.

J. NJ. Smith, the former superntend-
Construction company ON its Rapidan

get out warrant for the arrest of
William Cooper, laborer at the dam,
whom he charges with assault in the
third degree. Mr.. Smiths face Ger
tainly bore evidence of some pretty
strenuous work on somebody's part
Both eyes were blackened and he had
cut cross his nose and divers other
cuts and bruises.
In speaking of the matter to the
Free Press, Mr.. Smith said that he
was walking along peaceably, when he
was suddenly confronted by Cooper,
who demanded. to know why he had
been speaking disrespectfully of his
family. Without waiting for an ans
wer, Cooper had struck him in the eye,
knocking him down, and had then
jumped upon him and pounded him UNI
til assistance came. Cooper, he says,
is from Oklahoma, and he says that
he never had any trouble with the man
or ever mad occasion to talk of him
or his family in any manner, and GER
tainlv never spoke disrespectfully about
them.
Mr.. Smith is of the opinion that the
job was Il put up one, and that Cooper
was merely the tool in the hands of
Others. and sought all excuse to as
sault him.
Mr.. Smith has just returned from
the south, and expects to go to Dan
vile. Ky. i'll few days to take
charge of large work for his COM
pany there. He states that he has had
a letter from his company expressing
the utmost confidence IN his ability.

Plymat received telephone message
this morning from Rapidan, asking
that he hear both sides of the story
before acting.
