Alfalfa Gust Growed."

By Prof. B. c. Buffum. West Virginia Asri Col.
Alfalfa is just like Topsy, 1T
just growed." " 1t is a mongreI
plant, with probably the greatest
value of any mongrel on earth.
l have in my breeding gardens
seventy varieties and strains of
alfalfa, including those raised
from seed from every part of the
world where the plant is grown,
in addition to my own hybrids.
The method pursued in improv-
ing alfalfa is t) make crosses and
hybrids between all these va
rieties, and then select the one
that shows the best quality, COM
bined with the greatest produc-
tiveness. This last season l had
two hybrids that grew to a
height of three feet in ninety days
from the date of planting the
seed. Anyone who has grown
alfalfa can appreciate the sig
nifcance of these figures. By
fixing some type of this sort l
can put into the hands of the far
mers improvements that will
greatIy'increase the yield. Those
who are trying to improve alfalfa
have three objects in view. The
first is to develop a quick grow
ing, heavy-yielding strain; the
second is to obtain fine stems
with large percentage of leaves,
for the leaves are of the most
value to the stock farmer. The
third object is to gain power to
resist disease.
1t may be we'll to mention that
the Department of Agriculture
has produced hybrids by crossing
ordinary alfalfas and two of the
hardy yellow lowered alfalfas
found in Siberia by Professor N.
E. Hanset. Some of these are
apparently superior to either Of
the parents in habit and vigor.

Every seal that is sold is real
bullet in the fight against tubercuIos-
is. These seals last year helped to
support thousands of needy tubercu-
losis patients and to give them a
chance for life. They provide for
many visiting nurses, whose hundreds
of thousands Cf visits brought cheer
to numerous patients. They helped
maintain dispenGaries in dozens of
cities from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, where many thousands of con-
sumptive patients received treatment
and advice. They provided the means
to purchase millions of copies of cir
culars, pamphlets and other litera-
ture, with which the public has been
educated about tuberculosis They
have established and helped to main
tain more than 40 open-air schools
for the children who needed open
air treatment. These are just a few
of the ways in which the $500 900 90
received last year was expended. This
year one million dollars is needed
Surely anyone can help by buying at
least ten seals.

Referee Hard to Beat.

In commenting on basketball
game played at Barron Dec. /, the
Barron County News says:
The Highschool boys basketball
team played their first game of the
season here last Friday evening
against Chetek High and won out
by a score of 1922
The first half of the game was
we'll played and the boys secured a
lead of 1913, but in the second half
Chetek changed referees and game
was considerably marred by the fire.
quency of the fouls called by the
Chetek official. 1t was the most mis-
cradle attempt of refereing that has
ever been witnessed on the local
floor as the Chetek man seemed in
tent on awarding the game to Chetek
on fouls, and the result was 1922
score, with Is of Chetek points made
on free throws.
1t was indeed fortunate that the
Chetek referee was delayed in ar
irving until after the first half had
been played or the result might have
been entirely different for he seemed
to have but one purpose in mind and
that was that his prodigies should de-
feat the local five"
The first half must have been we'll
played, well for the Barron boys,
who seemed to like the style of re-
fereing the News man describes, as
that was the way the Little Barron
Hand" went after the Ladysmith boys
in the game here last Saturday night
and the miserable attempt of the
Chetek referee was not a circum-
stance to the miserable attempt" of
Hand, and about the only difference
we could see was that Barron could
not make the free throws when they
got the chance.
From their experience with Chetek
the Barron boys made it a point to
have their referee on hand.
Referee Hands purpose seemed
to be to foul Ladysmith" and let
the Barron boys play football

LADYSMITH DEFEATS BARRON
Local Highs Win Fast Game BY
Score of 20 to q.

What was pronounced the best baS
ketball game played in Ladysmith
this season was pulled off at the
opera house Saturday night between
the fast Barron Highs and the Highs
of Ladysmith, resulting in a victory
for Ladysmith, 29 to 21.
The Barron boys arrived at 2:21
and spent the afternoon looking over
the city and otherwise amusing them
selves and they certainly behaved in
a very gentlemanly manner.
At nine O'Clock the referee, c..
Hand, Barron, blew the whistle and
the fun began with the following line
up:
Ladysmith-Phil Leveille, C; Dick
Lewis, &; c. Hutchinson, g; Will
Luell, f; Carl McGath, f; e. Hutch
inson, f.
Barron-C. Christianson, c: A.
Atwater, g; Fred Dorey, g; L. Koch
Ter, f; H. Pringle, f; p. White, sub.
The Barron lads are a husky lot
of fellows, all larger than the man
they played against, and to general
appearances started the. game at a
gait they thought the Ladysmith boys
could not follow. Here they soon
found their mistake, as the tables
were turned and they began to fol-
low instead of lead in the race. The
game was rather rough from the
very start, but each team seemed
capable of holding it's own.
The score at the end of the first
half was II to Is in Ladysmiths ia
VOr
After ten minute rest the
whistle was again blown by the "lit-
tie Hand" and again "the fight was
on Earl Hutchinson was put in in
this half in place of Will Luell This
was all right, as Barron was also
playing six men.
The home team showed good
head work, credit for which must be
given to Coach Cairns, who has the
team under his supervision this sea-
son.
The Barron boys must also be Civ
en- word of praise, as they can al
so play basketball, though to start
with it seemed as though they were
trying to start football game.
Among the Barron players. the re-
feree, Hand will have to come in for
his share of credit for their scores.
