SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES
IN GROWING ALFALFA

One of the maXims left by the
great colonizer, Brigham Young.
was to Pillow deep and SOW alfalfa"
The past dry season demonstrated
more than ever that the secret of
its great success lies in its root pen
etrating power. Plants four or five
months old are known to have roots
four or five feet long and If there
is any moisture the root will pene-
trate the hardest hardpan. II is
common to find roots from twelve
to fifteen feet long. and one place In
Colorado an alfalfa root was found
at a depth of 1919 feet. Here in the
west alfalfa will grow on most any
kind of soil. sanddy loan being best.
however. 1t will do well on gum'bo,
on the highest bench land or the
lowest river bottom. II will come
nearer making a crop on gravelly
land than any other plant. 1t is
about the last crop TO be killed by
alkali. II will. after once well set,
come nearer making good crop
"i'hout "aAti IMAM thihb tIS's
for the past dry summer scarcely
feazed it in hardness or yield.
On the other hand, 1t will stand
more water and oftener in the hot
season II properly put on and off.
than any other plant. II the farmer
does not care for hay it is paying
crop to let go to seed. for there is
great demand for seed. As much
hay can be cut from one crop of al
falfa as from any other hay and
still produce crop of seed that is
valuable as the average crop. Our
annual output in Colorado exceeds
SIS, 100000 and the acreage is in
creasing all the time. Alfalfa will
produce from three to seven tons
to the acre. 1t will yield from five
to fifteen bushels of seed to the
acre. 1t is the nearest to n balance
ration of any crop grown. 1t has
more protein than wheat bran. 1t
will come nearer crowding out foul
weeds and grasses than any other
plant. Three hundred and sixty
stalks have been grown from one
seed. Unlike most any other plant
1t does not exhaust the soil, but en-
riches it-so much so that grain
yields nearly double on land where
alaflfa is plowed up.
In many places they are plowing
up alfalfa for winter wheat and sug-
ar beets and such land yields fully
double that on which alfalfa has not
been sown. The digestibility of al
falfa Is changed less by the process
of curing than that of any other
forage plant and alfalfa in the sum
mer is as palatable as green grass
to a dairy COW. 1t contains large
ly the succulent qualities of green
grass in June. keeping the digest
i've organs open and active, and 1t
has cooling effect on the blood.
Fed to dairy cows alfalfa maintains
the milk flow to June grass for al
most a whole year. II can be chop
ped as fine as wheat bran and mixed
with corn meal to form balanced
ration. We have in Colorado fifteen
large milling establishments that
put out ground alfalfa as mercan-
tile produce. During the year many
private or portable plants have been
put in, especially in the San Luis
valley. in which the alfalfa Is ground
for consumption on the home ranch
and this system OF feeding has be-
come eminently uccessful.-Field

What the Passing of
The Year 1911 Disclosed.

The Year 1911 Disclosed.
The man who is Interested, the
investor. the homeseeker, wants the
proof or assertions made.
The gaudy colors of a pamphlet
may attract his eye. The flaming
language of that same class of de-
scriptive matter or the eloquent Ian
guage of a newspaper article may
almost convince its reader, who hest
tates and ruminates: Shall l, or
shall l not bite"
What the interested of the pub
lie really want. however, is facts,
in plain, correct figures. The sta
tistics of crop production, of mar
ket values. of expenditures and prof
it's, give these.
Enough have been compiled from
the shipping books of the railroads,
the express companies and other
available sources, to prove all the
made.
These figures prove the Western
Slope to be the richest of the Unit

THE UNDERWOOD BOOT

Uncle Joe Cannon is quoted as saying
that Congressman Underwood Of Ala
bama has grown more in public senti-
mcnt recently than any other man in the
United States".
Other leaders in both big parties are
now taking notice of this able South
erner, who distinguished himself dur
ing the extra session of Congress as
Democratic leader in the House.
Commenting upon the Underwood
boom, the Birmingham Age-Herdld says:
The rise of Oscar Underwood is the
marvel Of American politics, and we may
look for its elimination in the week Of
June Is in the good city of Baltimore"
That this distinguished Albanian is
growing in favor in all sections of the
country is plainly evident on all sides.

HIS WIFE A REAL HELPr1EET

Mr.. Underwood has been helped and
assisted by his wife She is proud of
him and has faith in his future. She
takes the utmost interest in his work
and his ambitions. She assumes full
control of the domestic establishment
and leaves him free from care and con-
Germ. 1t is rumored that she even
lays out his clothes for him and ties
his cravat. She seeks to aid him in his
studies and work of research. She is
bright, we'll educated, vivacious and full
of life Not beautiful, but attractive,
wholesome and -companionable. No
wonder is expressed that Mr.. Under
woods forehead and face are free from
wrinkles. All the turbulence and nerve
suicide connected with handling fiat
are removed from him.-Ne7o York

BOLD PROGRAM
Good Politics and Policy

The Underwood program contemplates
sane reductions, not revolutionary, but
framed so as to tighten the burden
of the tariff without giving too violent
shock to important national interests.
This is a sensible program.
It is good political strategy and sound
economics. Moreover, it is practical.
If such program should be passed
and vetoed by the President, Mr.. Taft
and the Republican party will have to
face an angry nation with a third be-
trayal charged against them.
If Taft should approve it, his pre-.
vious attitude and previous vetoes will
leave all the credit for tariff reforms
to the Democratic party, and will enable
him to recover none Of the advantage
he has lost.
The failure of the tariff commission
has deprived the President OF even
legitimate excuse for further vetoes, and
gives the Democrats ample reason for
going ahead without waiting years for
more reports of the same kind.-Nesu

reciprocity legislation, to which the
Democrats were favorable, the House
was Democratic mainly because of the
dissatisfaction of the people with the
Paync-Aldrich tariff law, the election
that made the House Democratic being
the first opportunity the people had to
express that dissatisfaction tangibly.
The Democrats had a majority of
nearly seventy. They had not had pos
session of the House for sixteen years.
They were politically hungry and polit-
ically thirsty. They needed sustenance.
They thought they had chance to elect
a president in 1912 and get full swing
at all the perquisitcs and prerogatives
of the Government; and each man of
the two hundred and twenty-eight Dem
ocrats was full of schemes fo- making
this chance certainty. They were all
anxious to revise the tariff in order to
keep faith with the people, but they had
many plans for revision and many
shades of opinion as to how it should
be revised. They felt their power and
Importance. They were eager, avid, en-
thusiastic and none too prudent.

DUTY HIGHER
THAN AMBITION

"My Friends Must Do The Work"
says Underwood.
Congressman Oscar w. Underwood,
when asked if he would be candidate
for the Presidency, said:
81 think my friends are going to pay
me the compliment of indorsing me and
that they will present my name to the
convention. I will be very proud to
have their Endorsement. No man could
feel otherwise about it.
"But have told them that what they
do they must do by themselves. have
a mans work cut out for me down
yonder," waving his hand in the gen
eral direction of Washington, land I
am going to try my best to do it. l
am not going to neglect it to be a can
didate for the Presidency or for any
thing else.
For what my friends do I shall be
grateful. But what is done my friends
will have to do."-Ne7v York american.

Section, December 3, 1917
There has been no attempt on
the part of the manufacturers to
give labor its share of the benefits
derived from the tariff! They
have kept all the profits"
ITO protect profits is to protect
inefficiency and to strangulate
rather than to develop industry"
II prefer to lower the tariff vail

wall rather than by dynamiting
the structure at the bottom"
"The people have lost faith In
the Republican party because it
has not kept faith with them"

venting and Furnishing monopoly
