S0D-B0UND ALFALFA FIELDS
Methods Employed In Resenerat'ns
Vary Great Deai-Dlsklno 10
Most Popular system.
{By n r pATTERHON)

tBy H. F. PATTERsoNJ
The methods used in regeneratin8
an old field Of alfalfa vary great
deal. Perhaps the method that 10
used to the largest extent throughout
all Of the northwest states 10 the meth
cd Of disking the land early In the
spring. Whether or not It 10 a good
plan to disk alfalfa land 10 Q question
upon which there has been much dif-
ference Of opinion. However. II this
work Is done properly there seems to
be good reason for SO handling our
/ field.
In localities where there is but .
small amount Of rainfall and where
the soil becomes hard and impervious
to water It 10 a very good practice to
follow. Then again In regions where
there Is sufficient rainfall and wnere
the winter season is open. the thawins
and freezing will tend to loosen up the
ground and In that way have the same
effect as disking in the arid regions.
1t IL well.known fact that the disk
Ing Of the stems will cause them to be-
come very much thicker. However. IN
disking alfalfa there 10 some danger
In that the crowns very often become
infected with fungus diseases which
will oftentimes destroy the entire
plant We must keep this in mind and
must govern our actions accordingly.
That 10. we must use extreme care IN
order that the crowns Of the plants
will not be injured to any great ex'
tent.
The disking Of course will cut the
crowns and there 10 always the danger
that the fungus diseases will set IN.
However, II we are careful and do not
allow the diseases in our fields on the
start and are careful that our disk 10
very clean. this danger will be almost
entirely eliminated. The disk should
be SO set that 1t will cut the crowns
Of the plants rather than gouge them
out. Some farmers have had success
by getting tho disk nearly straight and
running the disk each way. This Will
divide the crown into four equal por.
tions and each part will send up new
alfalfa plant and in that way the stand
will be materially thickened.
Then again 1t Is we'll to disk the
alfalfa field when the field has become
infested with blue grass and dande'
lions, which will choke out q large
amount of the alfalfa.
Farmers have also had success BY
putting on from five to six pounds Of
alfalfa seed. especially upon nelds
that have become infested with dnnde
lions. It is sometimes good plan to
add a small amount OF clover seed to
the alfalfa. The clover germinates
very rapidly and will get good start
and will thus keep down the weeds
The clover will die out in year OF
two and we will still have a good
stand Of alfalfa. We would suggest
the following Of this plan upon large
number Of our alfalfa fields that have
| grown alfalfa for three or four years
BY getting in and disking It ts pos
sible to thicken up the stand to such
an extent that we can grow our alfalfa
upon the same field for three or foul
years longer and still obtain large and
profitable crops. The best time tc
disk the alfalfa Is In the early spring
because the young plants can thus OBJ
tain a very early start

The very next day. while he was at

calling for help and started on the

had invaded the farmhouse and were
making threats. Elisha went for them
like a locomotive running away. He

The big scar of slag on Naeo road. which has it's own monument in the name Slag Dump hill, will be removed.

HOT CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH
 CAROLINA.

COLUMBIA, S. C.. June 2S:-With the close of the first week Of the speechmaking campaign for the gov ernorship it has become evident thst the political battle in South Carolina this summer it to be one Of the most interesting and exciting since the days of the Tillman campaigns. The fight for the governorship is between Cole l.. Blease, the present chief ex- ecutive, and Ira Jones, former justice of the state supreme court.
 The contest already is being car ried on with an energy and enthusi- asm out of all proportion to the issues involved. Since the last State cam
 paign the prohibition question has been shelved, and for lack of other important issues, the present contest promises to develop into a purely tsctional battle for control of the state administration. In other words 1t is to be a fight between the Blease and anti-Blease elements of the democrat ic party.
 The opponents of Governor Blease ! declare that neither in personal char acter or men-talk attainments is h. worthy to be the chief executive oi
 South Carolina. They say that he is cratic and unsafe, that he has abused the pardoning power and has blocked
 the enactment of needed laws by plac
 ing himself at loggerheads with the
 legislature.
 On the other hand, the Governor I friends and supporters contend that | the statements about his personal character are merely the islanders of | his political enemies. They declare
 that he has headed vigorous admin istration that has established an en
 yiable record for efficiency and econ
 omy in handling the affairs of the state

PLAYFUL ACT
 ENDS IN DEATH
Mimicked Bleat of Sheep Friendly Tussle Proceeds Staying of Roy Wiley
 at. Wilcox
VICTIM WAS POPULAR

'Baa-a-a." the mimickd bleat of a sheep. was the prologue to a tragedy enacted at Wilcox Wednesday even ing, according to a detailed report of the killing of Roy Wiley by Mart Ben nett. The trouble began in rough-and- tumble play. with a moving spirit of boisterous fun, the action was swift, the mask of comedy was changed for the mask of passion, and the finale was murder
 Nearly every murder that is com mitted Is inspired by primal emo iuon. In this case it appears to have been consuming anger because of physical helpiessness. Following Bennett's taunt to Wiley, the mim- licked bleat of a sheep. the latter picked Bennett up bodily and stood him on a chair The act displayed to onlookers the physical superiority of Wiley, who was apparently un. conscious of the srimal passion that the act aroused.
 The crowning indignity that ancient Rome heaped on the head of it's cap lives was to parade them in their helplessness before the human popu- lace; physical superiority is the quail fication for chieftancy in the jungle as it was in the cave era of the hu- man race, when brides were won by the strongest arms. In the underworld of large cities, gang leaders fight their way to leadership with their knuckles, but always the intendencu is rooted in the jealous envy of the physically anfericr. From all accounts, the kill ing at Wilcox was born of the anger of physical helplessness.
 The following from Review cor. respondent gives the particulars of the killing:
 Wiley was passing by the Midway saloon. where Bennett was employed as bartender, when Bennett bleat ted at him like a sheep. The two had frequently scuffled in a friendly way Wiley went in, caught Bennett and carried him outside. placing him on chair. Bennett ran into the house again and Wiley followed, and was, in spirit of fun. going to repeat the Performance. As he attempted to go behind the bar after Bennett, Ben nett pulled a gun and shot Wiley in the breast, Wiley dying instantly. Sheriff Wheeler was telephoned for, and arrived from Tombstone two hours later. taking Bennett to Tomb stone. Justice Page. immediately af. ter the tragedy, had Bennett arrest ed and held a coroneris inquest Great indignation is expressed at the act, as Wiley was d sober, clean and industrious young fellow, we'll liked by everybody. Bennett has been around Wilcox for a year or so. No one seems to know much about him or where he came from.
