national republican committee eX-

and Alvah H Martin, Virginia, met at
10 o'clock. Their conference was be-
hind closed doors.
The committee got in touch with
President Taft shortly after noon,
adjourning to the White House,
where luncheon was served. Through
out the day, the Executive Offices
were thronged with politicians. To-
night the President plans recep-.

it is ready to use at any time. The
most important thing of all is to buy

STORING OF ALFALFA CROP
Loss Of Hay When Stacked Is About
10 Per Cent. Greater Than When
Placed in the Now.

By l.. R. WALDRON. North Dakota Az
ricultural College.)
Alfalfa hay stored in the barn is
subject to the least loss, where litter
from the NOW can be utilized, which
Il not so easily done when hay is
stacked. It is stated that the loss of
alfalfa hay when stacked is about 10
per cent greater than when stored In

An alfalfa stack should have pro-
lection at the bottom as we'll as at
the top. Old posts or stone placed up
