must also be considered when growing
alfalfa in this stale. Drouth resistant
strains can be obtained, but for the
present much better progress can be
made BY properly handling the crop.
The alfalfa plant, because Of its great
root system, is naturally drouth resis-
tant. The important thing is 10 allow
it's roots to develop so that they can
reach down and obtain water from the
deeper layers. This development is
prevented where the alfalfa stand is
made too thick. Excessive thickness in
stand is probably the main fault in the
majority of the North Dakota fields or
patches.
Under upland conditions for at least
large area of the state pounds of
choice. hardy seed sown with drill. is
probably sufficient. This is about one
third of the amount that is commonly
recommended to SOW. Fifteen pounds
of seed per acre would, if all seeds grew,
give 72O plants per square yard.
At the Dickinson station we found
that in 1910 five plants per square yard
gave US the maxium hay yield over all
other rates Of planting. This yield
amounted to nearly 2Atons per acre.
Thus it is evident that we have much
to learn of what constitutes proper
alfalfa stand for North Dakota. In the
thinner stands the alfalfa roots are much
better developed and are able to draw
upon larger supplies Of moisture. This
being the case, more alfalfa growth is
produced.
CULTIVATION
The cultivation of alfalfa in North
Dakota will be advisable, to certain
extent. Perhaps the discing of the field
in the spring will be sufficient. but in
the drier soils the fields will need to be
disced after each cutting. In place of
the disc, the alfalfa renovator may be
preferable.
Alfalfa growing in North Dakota will
be successful. Care must be taken to
inoculate the soil and the stand must be
thin enough to produce good yields Of
hay. Under proper management the
average yield Of alfalfa hay in North
Dakota should amount to two tons per
acre per year.

SENATOR PERCY.

The closing week of the cam
paign, before the first primary,
finds Senator Percy confident of
success. Mr.. Percy holds a COM
mission which he feels was fairly
and honestly won and he has gone
before the people asking at their
hands an endorsement of a re
cord in the Senate which no fair
minded man can deny has been
one of marked ability. No SEN
ator in so brief a period OF time
has ever served his constituency
more acceptably. Mr.. Percy has
made a record to which he can
point with pardonable pride. A
man of extraordinary natural
ability, the worthy son of an hon
Ored sire, possessing excellent
business qualifications, SCHOLARLY,
yet thoroughly practical, Senator
Percy, if reelected, as his friends
confidently believe he will be, will
be able to render service of great
value to that State in whose con
fines he first saw the light of day
and in whose borders he has
lived an open life, singularly free
from cant and hypocrisy and the
arts of the time-serving dema.
gogue.
THE BEACON thinks he richly
deserves an endorsement of hi:
splendid record at the hands Of
the voters of the State. 1t ha!
an abiding faith in the justice o:
his cause and in the triumph o,
the campaign which he has 81
fearlessly waged.

ERIC AND

The effort of the Alexander
forces to detach voters from
Senator Percy to Mr.. Alexander
bv arguing that the latter is the
stronger candidate is perfectly
fair politics but very poor logic
under the circumstances. II Mr..
Alexander is the stronger in the
first primary he will get in the
second race. If he is not the
stronger in the first race there is
no grounds for believing that he
would be stronger than Percy IN
a run off with Vardaman.
The issue between Alexander
and Vardaman is as we'll defined
and acute as the issue EetWeen
Percy and Vardaman. The idea
that many Alexander men will,
in the event he goes under, vote
forVardaman is one that has ga n
ed credence solely by its iteration
and reiteratiOn. The great mass
of nti-Vardaman men will vote
willingly and solidly for the OPP
posing candidate, be he Percy OF
Alexander.
Those,who admire the fine per
ceptive powers, the broad culture
and intelligence, and splendid
fighting qualities Senator Percy
has demonstrated need never
fear that he is less a match fol
daman or Vardamanism thar
Mr.. Alexander. In Jackson, or
the floor Of the United States
and on the hustings he has shown
courage, ability and r%esOurceful
ness equal to every occasion
The State of Mississippi through
it's legislature made him the sen
ator, and constituted him tn
champion of those things TO
which both he and Mr.. Alexan
der stand. H has shown n
weakness, no inability, either i
himself or in the hearts of tn
people. nor given any cause t
change leadership now.
Senator Percy deserves !
every way the constant an
loyal support Of every friend {
his in Mississippi, and Of ever
man in Mississippi who believe
in that for which MI. Perc
stands.
The argument of the Alexar
der committee is an imaeinar
equation in political algebr;
Against the proved strength {
Senator Percy it is nothing.

THE INTEREST,"

The interest and excitement
created by the United States
senatorial race in Mississippi has
operated to detach the minds Of
most people from what is really
the most important matter to us
in the 1911 campaign, and that is
Noxubee County's interest in the
election. The Beacon must con-
fess that it has been remiSs,
along with many voters, in this
particular.
In common with other counties
in the state having a similar pop
ulation, the maintenance Of the
present apportionment of repre-
sentation in the Legislature, and
the preservation of the present
system of the distribution of the
school fund of the state, are mat
tiers of vital Importance to NO.
ubee. The fact that a new GER
sus has just been taken makes
the situation more acute, and the
part that politics will play in the
matter, strengthened by the
great popular vote in South Miss
issippi renders the situation
grave,
If ever Noxubee County need
ed to look to her representation
IN the Senate and House Of Miss
issippi, now is the time. A depri-
walton of ten to fifteen thousand
dollars a year in her school
money will wound her in a most
vital point. 1t would be a cut at
the roots Of her future welfare, 6
deep injury to her coming gene.
rations of citizens.
This is no time for the voters Of
Noxubee to sacrifice the common.
veal or endanger the welfare Of
of the children of the county fol
the sake of personal inclination
of the voters or a mistaken idea
of loyalty to a state candidate.
This applies as well to the fol.
lowers of one candidate as tc
those of anther. In times of pub.
lie danger patriotic men forget
private differences. The educa
ton of her children is more impor-
tant to Noxubee than who sits in
the Senate at Washington.
The Beacon, as all know, has 6
very decided preference fol
United States Senator. But il
is for Noxubee County first anC
Senator Percy second.
Let Noxubee send its very best ant
most effective men to Jackson.

Maj. Vardaman, through the columns
of the Issue, is still frantically denOunc-
ing the deep damnation of that horrible
secret caucus. But Maj. Vardaman has
nevertheless taken: great are not to

to meet him in debate in the city of
Jackson where the caucus was held.
The subject of that proposed debate was
to be the secret caucus and the part
taken in that caucus both by Maj. Var

FREIGHT RATES REDUCED

The freight department at the
Grants Pass depot is busy these days
handing out rebates to shippers. Last

the case carried to the supreme court,
where the ruling of the commission
was confirmed, and in accordance
with this order the railroad officials
have ordered rebates on freight ship
ments dating as far back as october
13, 1910.
Following are the regular rates
and as lowered by the commission.
Glass 2, rate 93c, reduced to 91c
Glass 3, rate sec, reduced to 75c
Glass a, rate soc, reduced to 64c
Glass S, rate 72c, reduced to SAC
Glass A, rate Csc, reduced to SAC
Glass B, rate sic, reduced to 43c
The difference between the rate

mission will be paid to the shipper or
presentation Of the freight bills al
the freight depot, otherwise the CLAIM
must be made through the claim de
partment, which requires consider
able time.
