ceived while apresting criminals, stop
ping runaway teams, &C., had their pay
stopped from the moment OF their in
capacity It is maintained that these
facts were not generally known until

ALFALFA DOES NOT ENRICH SOIL

At the American Dairy Institute,
recently held in connection with the
National Dairy show in Chicago. Dr..
Hopkins Of the Illinois station made
q statement that will probably prove
surprising to many Kansans.s The
doctor stated that 1t 10 a mistaken
idea that alfalfa enriches the soil.
Large yields require a great
amount of fertility and will impover-
ish the soil very rapidly unless fed
to live stock and returned to the soil.
The idea that alfalfa enriches the soil
probably comes from the fact that
in many instances the soils have been
growing large crops for many years
and the crops following alfalfa do bet
ter than those following non-legumi-
nous crops. This Is due to the fact
that alfalfa extends Its roots many
feet into the ground, utilizing the fer
tility not reached by the roots OF 9TH
or plants. and putting the soil in good
physical condition" What do our
old-time alfalfa growers say to that?
There has long been question
about whether alfalfa would enrich
the soil or whether It is merely q
stimulant, and no one, even IN the
experiment stations Of the west,
seemed able or willing to answer
This statement of Dr. Hopkins puts
a new face on the matter and may
lead to new line Of investigation

which furnished the only instance OF
the year where the victim was burned
at the stake.
Contrary to the record Of previous
years the majority OF the victims were
not accused of crimes against women
The victims accused Of attacks on
women numbered eighteen, while
thirty-one were accused Of murder.
Two negroes were lynched for insult
ing white women, four for attempted
murder, one for threatening murder.
one for highway robbery. and one for
persistent stealing. Two were charg-
ed with plain assault and one was be-
ing held In jail as a suspicious char
acter. ~
In several instances race riots were
reported in which both whites and
blacks were killed. These are not In
cluded in the record Of the year.
