Burgess Umpires the Fracas Using the
Entire Roundup on the Diamond
The Stake was Freedom and "Never.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 10--Mighty
is the great American game of base
ball, and Burgess W. D. Morris is its
prophet.
In all the annals of the game it is
doubtful If there ever was a more
unique or thrilling exhibition than that
which took place under his auspices
todaybetween two teams of tramps
who had been rounded up on Monday.
The burgess himself, clad in new
uniform and the irrefragable dignity
of his office, marshaled his string Of
peripatetic "rube" Marquards and
Hans Wagners on the field.
There were just thirty of them, and
the fact that this exceeded by an even
doz, n the usual aggregation for such
an event did not cause the puissant
Wilkesbarrian to turn a hair. He had
llong-stops as well as sbort-stops, in
serted an extra catcher with dip net
and sprinkled the overflow into the
field. Then, seized prodigious blud
geon as an insignia of his authority
and ornamenting his manly chest with
a section of boiler plates, he called IL
loud and awesome accents the wore
"go."
First to the bat we're the imposing
''Neverworks." After six or sever
lunges at the sphere, interrupted by ;
recess for a fight, the first man up, be

At this point the catcher and out

AMERICA AS ALFALFA FIELD
MOI Only Means Better Forage for
Live Stock, but Also Larger Crops
and Better Farms.

II begins to look as II the United
States Is to become one vast alfalfa
heid. Wherever you go, east or west,
al1alfa seems to be the one topic of
interest among farmers and the view
OF alfalfa fields along railroads in
dlcates that this crop is grown as
well as being talked about. Every
where there are to be found spots of
a1alfa and time will unite them,
Writes William H. Saylor in the Den
yer Field and Farm. Indeed it is only
question Of time, and a more
thorough knowledge OF how to grow
the crop under varying conditions OF
soil and climate, when it will set corn
back into secondary place as an anil
NAL food.

can agriculture and on American
farmers. 1t will mean better soil.
larger crops, more meat and milk sold
on our farms, more manure and in
short better farms and better farmers.
Already we find this to be true. The
alfalfa farmer in any community
stands out conspicuous for his intelli-
gence. Its feeding value is shown in
his sleek. fat cattle.
Alfalfa makes the perfect. all-round
farmer, who turns out finished pro-
duct almost ready for the table and
not merely raw material. The corn
farmer too often turns cut corn for
the feeder, the starch maker, the dis
tlller or the glucose factory. to make
profit on; the miller and the baker
get profit out Of our wheat, to say
nothing of the speculator, and the
former gets the by-prodIcts besides.
But the farmer who grows alfalfa,
with other suitable crops II desirable,
produces his raw material, manufac-
lures 1t and sells 1t more direct to
the ultimate consumer. gets the bulk
Of what the consumer pays.
Besides all this he has the by-pro-
ducts left as a big source of profit In
his farm operations. American farm
Ing needs this system. We want to
get away from growing crops and sell
ing them in the rough for others to
make money out Of them. We want
to get that money back to the farms
where it belongs. by turning out some
thing that will go as direct to the con
sumner with as little opportunity fol-
further rake-offs as possible. Alfalfa
converted into meat, dairy products
and eggs are bringing about this great
change. The one natural place tc
grow alfalfa in all the world is on the
irrigated plateaus and we ought to be
seeding more Of them down to thil
great legume.

HOW WATER MOVES IN SOIL
Surprising Facts Are Shown by tho
Government Experiments In Or
chards Of California.

Most farmers are under the i'm
surface straight down into the soil
that is. evenly on all sides, when it
is applied to a single spot or in a
ditch. This is not the way the water
is absorbed.
Government experiments In Cali
fornia orchards show the lateral move
ment Of water is surprising. Where
water WAS sent through irrigating
bitches between rows OF trees the soil
was wet to a considerable depth but
in wedges Of V shapes and that the
whter had moved laterally only about
tao feet.
In soils that are In good condition
the movement OF water either up or
down is not very great but the lateral
movement Is extremely slight. This
kI owledge is OF vast Importance in the
application OF fertilizer and explains
many of the failures because they
must have water to make them avail
able as plant food and If placed too
far from the plants the latter will be
receiving no benefit
These facts will be OF value to the
growers of fruit and vegetables where
drenching or sprinkling is resorted to-
or course natures way of supplying
moisture to the entire surface is the
best but If we water our plants It is
better to apply fertilizer first and then
give a thorough drenching in order
that the moisture will dissolve the
fertilizer and send 1t to the roots
