FIVE ALREs IF FINE ALFALFA.

Earle Stredwick, the Logan farmer,
brought tc this office Monday a bunch
of alfalfa grown on his Logan farm
that measures three feet tall. It was
pulled that morning and looks good
enough to eat.
Mr.. Stredwick planted this alfalfa
three years ago, and it is just getting
good. The first year it did not make
much of a growth, but he has been
going over it since with a disk, set
slanting, each spring since, and this
sort of divides the roots, making the
plants thicken out. After cutting up
the field we'll, he harrows it thoroly.
Last summer, as dry as it was, he
Dastured three horses on a two acre
patch and they got rolling fat. His
fathers cattle have been feeding on his
alfalfa all spring till two weeks ago.
He expects to cut it twice this year
and will cut it the first time soon.
He has five acres and expects to get
two tons to the acre from each cut
ting. Evidently alfalfa pays We'll.
Last year he fattened Jersey steer
on alfalfa which dressed aga pounds
and he sold it for 500.

WALLIN PROTESTS AGAINST NOR.
NAL SITE.

Editor Of the Independent:
1t is a great surprise to me to hear
that the normal hoard located the
normal school on the south prairie,
with so many good sites in the valley
to select from, adjacent to both the
Great Northern and 500 railroads.
In the first place it will cost the
state between $4,000 90 and $4,000.
90 more to erect the first set of build.
been located on the railroads, to say
nothing of the additional cost of
buildings to be erected later on and
also the additional cost of maintain
ance. Furthermore, it is not ridicu-
lous to place an institution of this
kind way out of sight where it can
not be seen except by those who live
upon the south hill. Would it not
look better to have this institution
where the poole of the city could
see it? Besides. would not those
who are to attend the school rather
attend if it was in a place where it
was protected from the cold blasts Of
winter by the woods and surrounding
hills, rather then upon the south hill,
exposed to the cold and merciless
winds?
I can not see one single good rea-
son why the south prairie should be
preferred for the location of the
school as far as building for the fu-
ture is concerned. If that it what the
board have in view, then think they
should select one of the sites in the
valley, either on the 500 or the Great
Northern railroads.. If sixty acres
is not enough for the school, there is
ample room in the valley to extend
for years to come.
Selfish interests and small pecuni.
airy gains should be laid aside in this
deal. The interest of the school
which is to be for the use of the
people of the state Is the only ques-
ton that should figure in the loca-
ton Of this school. hope that the
people of Minot will take steps and
agitate this matter, and if possible
convince the board Of their error.
Yours truly,
JOHN WALLIN.
