WILL RAISE NFALFA
Movement On to Put in Big
Acreage of This Forage
Crop in Villas County.

TiOn pItSSIll luuicdllOlIS q Ul2
acreage will be sown to alfalfa
the coming season BY the farm
ers of Villas county.
No forage crop has been given
more. attention in the United
States during the past ten years
than alfalfa, and while it is in
the experimental stage in Some
parts OF Wisconsin,, yet, where
proper precautions are taken it
can be grown successfully.
Wisconsin is a great dairy
state and the milk products
bring to our farmers annually
some fifty million dollars. A
considerable portion of this
money is now expended for high
protein feeds, as oil cake, oil
meal, cotton and meal, bran and
others with which to balance the
feed ration. The cost and time
expended in carting the feeds
make them expensive for the
I farmer and take from him a
large portion of what WoulG
otherwise be profit.
To do away with this expense,
the farmer of Villas county must
therefore figure on producing a
forage crop that will eliminate
this deficiency. Alfalfa supplies
the dairymen and stockmen with
valuable forage and saves for
them a large portion of the mon
cy annually expended for high
protein feeds. The value of alfal-
fl as a feed for all farm animals,
including swine and poultry, is
so we'll known that it is unneces-
sarv to speak extensively OF it's
merits. No single forage plant
combines the materials for a
profitable ration for dairy COWS,
sheep and brood sows, so we'll as
alfalfa.
James Bolte cut one crop of al
falfa last year from the first sea-
sons seeding on new ground.
The stock of this crop averaged
80 inches in height ard had root
ed into the soil to the depth of
1S- inches. Other Villas county
farmers who tried alfalfa last
year were successful in the exper-
iment and will try again this
year on a larger scale.
Alfalfa should be put on a rich
soil. Soil can be made rich by
heavily manuring it for this crop.
Usually this manure should be
put on in the fall and piowed i'm
der, then discing should be start
ed early in the spring followed
| by fine tooth narrowing to
sprout weed seeds. On or about
Tune LIST alfalfa should be sown
without nurse crop, using
from twenty to twenty-five
pounds Of alfalfa seed per acre.
1t has been found that the Barr
strain of alfalfa handled by the
John Salzer Co. gives as good
results as any known of.
In the next issue of the News
another article will appear upon
alfalfa.

AerOpIanes at Spokane Fair

Birdman Eugene B. Ely will fly at the
Spokane fair after all. Word was re-
ceived this week by Manager Robert H.
Cosgrove that the Glen Curtiss Co., latter
deciding that Ely could not come west
and substituting Lincoln Beachy as the
Spokane flier, had made arrangements
at last to assign the Curtiss star to the
interstate fair aviation meet. Ely is
famous the world over for his spectacu-
lar flights to and from the deck of the
battleship Pennsylvania in San Fran
cisco bay, and has been one of the most
prominent contenders at the recent big
meets in Chicago and Boston.
With him will come the youngest of
the Curtiss aviators, Cromwell Dixon.
Dixon, although he is but 10 years of
age, is the holder of a record for fancy
maneuvers, made while he was trying
for his air pilots license in August, and
has had wide experience as navigator
of the air in dirigibles and balloons
Ely will arrive in Spokane a week be-
fore the fair, each with two biplanes',
and will make trial flights over the in
terstate grounds to test the course and
their machines.

inspector" Was Petty Thief

A number of Standpoint homes were
visited Wednesday by smooth stranger,
who secured entrance by announcing
that he was inspecting electrical wiring
for the Northern Idaho & Montana
Power Co. When the fake inspector
was admitted to home he produced
notebook and proceeded to tell of al
legged faults in wiring. While the mem
bers of the household were kept busy
trying to see the defects detected by the
fakir, the stranger would deity slip into
his pockets such pieces of jewelry as
might be lying on a table or dresser.
Just how many Standpoint people lost
valuables as result of the visit of the
stranger is not known, but he is sup
posed to have put In good days work.
At the residence of Father Kelly the
sneak thief secured razor, and at the
home of Rev. Skipworth he secured a
fine gold watch belonging to Mrs. Skip
worth.
The police were not notified of the
thefts until yesterday, and so were not
able to locate the fellow.-Sandpoint

New Policy of Railroads

Prof. A. E. Chamberlain, the Great
Northern's commissioner for the devel-
opment of the railroads territory, on
Tuesday in Spokane announced the pol
icy of the company toward settlers.
It is that of all sensible business men
"a satisfied customer Is the best adver-
tisement."
The western roads have learned to
look beyond the passenger fare of the
immigrant and the freight charges on
his goods, They have found from ex-
perience that one settler treated incon-
siderately or unfairly In the west sends
the story to the east and prevents num-
bers of people from coming who might
otherwise have been easily induced to
do so. eft would cost five times more
to repair the damage done in this way
than the amount received by the rail-
roads,"
This new policy of winning the good
will of settlers should be worth millions
in money to the roads. 1t is the part of

the reason for their superiority. Ac-
cordingly, the Indiana state experiment

state and planted. If better results are
obtained, it will indicate that the North
western soil is better suited to apple Gull
ture, while if the trees do not do better
than those in native dirt, the inference
will be that the difference is due to the

A little trading schooner had carried
Lester Bidwell from Manila TO group
of tiny islands that lie at the south
east of the Philippines, and when the
ships dory had left him on a snow
white coral beach with bis traps heap
ed about him he felt the first Qualms
of distrust In his mission.
The neighboring islands were bits OF
dark blue blurred against the blue sea.
His own islet showed curving stretch
of coral beach with background OF
thick Jungle Tall palms waved in the
breeze. and there was the luscious
smell of ripened fruit. Except for the
tapping of the waves on the beach and
the chattering of monkeys in the trees
there was the dead silence of complete
isolation.
Lester carried his traps to the edge
0f the jungle and set forth to seek
the legacy left him by his friend Gill
bert Olds. 1t took two hours to cir
Gle the island.
Making a sort of rough camp Occu-
pied another hour, and when it was
completed Lester had small hut
Ghatched with palm leaves and bound
about with cordage from his valise.
In the hut he placed his stores Of food
and water. inflated the air mattress he
had brought and was ready for bust
ness.
He drew out Gilbert Odds last let
ter, written from this very same south
sea island. One week after receiving
this letter he had heard of Gilbert's
tragic death.
