THE HYGIENIST

A new order of health magazine
published in Denver, which seek.
to place the public in touch witt
the why's and wherefores of health
and ill-health and to tell them how
to avoid the forms of ills suffered
by the present generation.
The day has passed when the
people are satisfied to remain in
ignorance of the cause of impaired
health and it has begun to dawn
on them that the body is subject tc
certain definite physical laws
which when continuously violated
bring about punishment as Ger,
tam, or even more certain, than
Will continued infraction of the
laws OF any municipality.
The Hygienist is the follower OF
no school and its only fad is "com.
mon sense" 1t shows why people
may get well under any or every
sort of treatment providing such
treatment does not obstruct sufi-
ciently the working of the simple
laws of the greatest of all physi-
clans, Mature" and it makes plain
these laws, for the guidance of its
readers.
The wonderful growth in one
year of the circulation of this adj
vocate of simple, clean living is
conclusive proof of its popularity
among thinking people.
The editor of The Hygienist is
DIR, r. r. Daniels of Denver, the
well-known specialist in dietetics
and hygiene, whose successful work
along the line advocated, makes
him a recognized authority on the
subject of which he writes. The
publisher is Myron G. BrownelI,
formerly the manager of the Min
ing Science Publishing Co.

GROWING ALFALFA
ON THE ALKALI


My experience in raising alfalfa
on alkali land has led me to very
different results from those reached
by many others and for this rea-
son l am giving the readers of
Field and Farm the benefit of my
experience that may be of some
use to them, The land on which
| have alfalfa is northeast of Monte
Vista in the San Luis valley. 1t
was originally farmed to wheat,
but as the land became wet from
too much sub-irrigation, quite nat
urally the alkali collected on the
surface and grain culture ceased to
be profitable. The land is not as
flat and smooth as some in the
valley, but it has "a general slope
to the east The soil is sandy
loan, with adobe in places to
depth of three or four feet to sand
and water. At times the alkali
would crust so that it would rattle
under foot.
| raised the necessary dykes and
flooded this land, in some cases
keeping the surface under water
for week. Then | ran the water
off in surface ditch; but during
the time the water was on the sur
face it was rapidly passing through
the soil into the sand and water
below. After the land is drowned
it becomes frmer and drier. 1t is
easier to do this watering in the
summer or fall for in the spring
we are likely to have wind from
the west, which is hard on the
dykes, usually on the east side of
the water. | irrigate the land late
in the spring and as soon as it is
dry enough to get the drill on the
land we SOW from five to seven
pounds of alfalfa seed to the acre.
Some SOW more seed but this is
enough when put in with a drill.
Sometimes | SOW oats or bald bar
ley with the alfalfa but this is i'm
material.
Keep the plants pretty well irri
gated the first summer as they are
tender. After the first year they
will take care of themselves. The
most valuable knowledge that |
have gained by my experience is
the fact that alfalfa will grow on
sub-irrigated land where the water
table is high. The time was when
farmers in the San Luis valley
favored alfalfa on dry land but ex-
perience shows that on such land
which has gravel subsoil the
water sinks away in winter and the
plants die. Since we have learned
to raise alfalfa on wet land, several
hundred acres have been sown and
the alkali areas are becoming profit
able.
In conclusion | would say that
a ! f | a cannot be successfully
raised on the gravelly land that is

NEW DRAINAGE DISTRICT

The election held at the Bounti-
full school house Saturday to vote
on the formation of the San Luis
Valley Drainage District No. /,
was carried by vote of Is to 4 in
favor Of the proposition.
Thos. Ormond, E. X. Ball and
Samuel Wilson were elected the
directors of the district to serve one
year. The vote will be canvassed
by the County Commissioners at
their regular meeting next Mon
day, after which the directors will
call an election to vote on issuing
bonds to finance the proposition.
The people of this section and
the majority of the land holders in
the district are jubilant over the
success of the election as it prac-
tically means thousands of acres of
land lying east and south of La
Jara will be drained and made into
the most productive farms in the
valley.
This section has some fine land
that produces bountiful crops each
year, but other lands nearby are
not SO productive for the want of
drainage. With these lands
drained the La Jara district will
become one Of the greatest agri-
cultural sections of the Vest
La Jara Enterprise.

so attractive for wheat culture at
the present time. The water table
varies too much Alkali flats that
have sandy subsoil will produce
alfalfa. In our subirrigated soil
the alkali has leached out and
passed off with the seepage to such
extent that it does not exist in
quantities sufficient to kill alfalfa
except on the surface of the land
Place the surface of the land under
water and the alkali will dissolve.
If the soil is sandy it will reach
the water table below and leave
the land in condition for the profit

PROVING POPULAR
Y. M. c. A. Course Proving to Be,
Bigger and Better Than in Former
Years. Additional Season Tickets
Being Sold.

So popular was the first number OF
the Course given in October that a
chance is being given to secure sea
son tickets for the four numbers yet
to appear. If this course, which
| is far more expensive and higher
grade than ever brought here before,
is heartily supported better attrac-
tions can be secured each year. The
tickets this week up to Friday ey-
ening for $1.50 for the four numbers
and to students at IS cents so that
this should mean the sale of one
hundred more season tckiets which
is essential to the financial success
of the course.
the second number, VIM. Sterling Bat
Lis who gives program both humor-
our and educational. His interpreta-
tions of Dickens characters in cos
tune will enlighten on the merits OF
Dickens as well as highly entertain.
The National Dickens Club had Mr..
BATHS give the program in Chi
cago last June in the event of the
Dickens Centennial Celebration
which indicates his rank along this
line.
The third number is the Litchfield
Trio due in January. The Fourth
number is Robt B. Glenn Of North
Carolina of whom the Springfield,
Mass, Daily said, after his address
there that Glenn was considered su-
perior to Bryan, La Toilette or any
of the leading orators of the day."
The last number is the Aller Trio
Concert Party, company of fine
artists. The Association believes that
those who have not secured season
tickets will do so at once and hear
each number on the course.

SHIP TURKEYS
BY EXPRESS
Forty Eight Thousand Pounds of Tur-
Hoys for Portland's Thanksgiving
Shipped from Fruitiana Bench by
Express.

Friday evening the Payette Valley
Railroad brought in two sixty three
foot baggage cars loaded with dressed
turkeys for the Portland market. The
two cars were shipped by express and
were picked up by No. that even
ing.
The turkeys were the property of
Mace & Co., and Swift G. Co., of
Pc Land and had been purchased by
those two firms of the ranchmen
along the line of the Payette Valley
Railroad. The forty eight thousand
pounds at seventeen cents per pound
which was the price paid the growers
represents a neat little sum of mon
ey to make on turkeys. The ship
ment also demonstrates the growth of
the poultry business in this valley.
A few years ago andsuch a thing as
car load shipment by express, was
unthought of as there were not suf-
ficient turkeys raised in the valley
to guarantee filling the cars. Now
two car loads go out in one shipment
by express and many smaller consign-
ments have been made prior to that.

The pupils of the Payette Public

Thanksgiving Collection for the Child
rens Home this morning.
The offering amounted to sSS.oo
and a draft for that amount was for
warded to the Home today.
The offering was much. smaller this
year than for the last two years
because of the fact that so many OF
the homes had already contributed
provisions of various sorts for the
car that was sent over from Pay
cite.
