AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE.
II Made a Remarkable Scene In the
House of Representatives.

IL "S0o * ncfrsrkdpie Scene IN tho
House of Representatives.
A touching scene occurred in the
house Of representatives a number Of
years ago when an aged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first
time addressed the speaker. All eyes
were turned In his direction as he
stood calmly awaiting recognition. He
was tall, spare and erect. His veneer
able appearance and kindly expression,
coupled with most courteous manners,
at once commanded attention.
AS i'll husky tones he again said
"Mr. Speaker" there came from the
farthest end of the great hall in a
whisper, but distinctly heard by all,
the words, Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt"
A moment later and from the floor
and gallery many voices blended in
the familiar refrain, Don't you re
member sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?"
The ovation which Immediately fol
lowed was such as Is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
OF the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives of all
parties and sections. 1t was an inspir-
ing tribute, one worthily bestowed.
The member was Thomas Dunn Eng
lish, author of the little poem, sung in
palace and cottage, which found its
way into all languages and touched all
hearts.-Adlai e. Stevenson in Some
thing of Men 1 Have Known"

ALFALFA At MOTLEY FARM
GOOD FLAX, SOME wheat

W. j. Motley. who resides in RAIDER
township south of Dickinson, says that
he has plenty of hay for stock and will
get considerable grain. although not a
full crop by any means. He seeded $50
acres of wheat and will probably cut a.
bout ESQ acres. The late wheat is still
green and will be greatly benefited by
the rain of Monday. 1t is short but
sives promise of getting long enough
to bind
Mr.. Motley did not seed his $50 acres
of flax too early or too late, just med
ium. and he considers that he timed it
about right. His crop averaged eight
bushels to The acre last year and he is
sure that the 1911 crop will give a
better yield than year ago.
One of the crops that Mr.. Motley is
proud of is his four acres of alfalfa
sown the first of June. 1t was on old
ground. manured several times, and was
plowed deep this season. He put on Is
loads of manure with his spreader, disc
ed and packed the ground, and he says
the alfalfa is just fine. The manure in
occulated the land. Another year this
farmer will increase the alfalfa acreage.
Mr.. Motley has learned by costly ex-
perience that dry fall plowing is worth
less. He is also convinced that in Or
der to be successful the farmer mus,
plan the proper rotation of crops for his
land. The Dry Farming methods are all
right if the farmer will only exercise
commonsense when applying the same
to his farm. Next year Mr.. Motley will
plant 100 acres of corll. which is one of
the greatest crop conservers of moisture
grown.
