CITY LIGHT PLANT
Has Been In Operation Nine Years
Out of Debt. A Success.

Nine years ago on Nov. 10 the
city light plant first began to shed
light. At that time there were only
rs patrons; on Nov. 1, 1911 there
were 200 patrons. The city now
only owes $500 on the plant and
that will be paid Jan. 1st. There
has been expended on the plant for
repairs only $400 in the nine years
and the plant is practically as good
as new The credit for this is due
to o R. Emerson the electrician
who has been in charge of the plant
from the first. A better man for
the position could not be found as
he knows how and is getting more
out of the plant for the city than
most any man who could be EN-
plOyed. He is a very anxious to
put on a day current as he feels
lhdI IL "Oulu UC SOUu llliDS iOI
our city. The plant is now being
run to its full capacity and should
be enlarged to meet the growing de-
mand for current. In MIR. Emerson
the city has faithful conscientious
painstaking man who has ever
been found doing his whole duty.
He runs the plant with great econo-
my and brings in the maximum of
revenue. To Mr.. Emerson is due
much of the credit for the great
success of the Monroe City Light
Plants prosperous growth and low
expense.
With a day current and a water
works and sewerage system Monroe
City will move forward and will be
better and more prosperous town.
Every citizen should boost for these
| Improvements.

Taking the College to the Farm.
The newest thing in the line of
Agricultural training offered by the
Missouri College of Agriculture is
the Branch Short Course. During
the coming winter several Branch
Short Courses will be given at vari-
Gus points in the state At each
one the College of Agriculture will
furnish two men who will spend
their entire time for five days in
giving instruction in dairying, farm
crops, soils, fruit, I've stock, poultry
or farm management. In general
1.-THE subjects taught will be suited
to the special needs of the COM
munity.
Since the number of Branch
Short Courses must necessarily be
limited they will be given to those
localities which apply first and
which show the greatest interest in
the work. Here is a fine opportu
nj. y for men with push and enter
prise to secure for their community
benefit that is offered this year
for the first time in the history of
Missouri.

Alfalfa Will Do This.

That there is money in alfalfa
and that it can be successfully
grown in Missouri, perhaps as sue
Cessfully as in any other state in
the union, is shown by the expert
ence of Geo N. Gromer, an enter
priSing farmer of near Pattonsburg,
Daviess county, in the northwestern
part of the state. In letter to t.
Wilson, secretary of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture. Mr..
Gromer writes, under recent date.
as follows:
8 Below find my final report for a
six-acre field of alfalfa. This field
was sown August Is, 1910 and on
June is. 1911, / cut same and got
24,200 pounds; sold at Sc per ton.
S7284; July Is, 1911, | cut same
and got 24,100 pounds, sold at $40
per ton, 1922; August IS 1911 cut
same and got 1S475 pounds, sold
at So per ton, $3.50; October II,
1911, cut same and got 1850
pounds, sold at $8, $5S.16, The
total yield was 8r695 pounds, and
for this l received $32690. The
amount received per acre was
$5472 with a yield of over six and
one half tOn per acre. The last
two crops were affected by the ex-
treme dry weather that prevailed
through July and August. IsOw-
ed 81 acres more this fall and have
a splendid stand. 1t seems strange
that the Missouri farmer does not
raise more alfalfa"
Had Mr. GrOmer sold his alfalfa
at current market prices, instead of
at the low figures quoted, his re-
turns would have exceeded 500 per
acre for the one year,-W, l. Mel

under the influence OF Miss Hessler.
when he made his will At the trial It
was proved tina the Hessler woman
