the advance that has been made in the

university exhibit. In one of the cases
Is to be seen a pile of %briquettes. such
as are 10Y being used by the railroads

One Of the most interesting exhibits
on the grounds is that of the Interna-

large and includes a fine display of
alfalfas and clovers that have beer
grown on the I. H. c. farm south of

charge of ]. G. Haney. the better
farming expert of the big harvester
company. All the farmers who have
been in the liberal arts building since

the greatest interest. It is a demon

way of diversified farming in the state

topic of discussion where a ,roup OF
farmers get together.
Hon. A. P. Grout. who is one Of the
Judges in the stock department. is a
thorough going farming expert. He
is very much Interested in the growing
of alfalfa and has the following tc
say about 1t:
"1 have reached the point in alfalfa
growing where I look for favorable
and certain results just as confidently
as I do when I SOW wheat, rye, oats,
timothy. or clover.
II know of nothing which will do
more for the development of a state
or d more to its wealth than a
thorough knowledge and understand
ing Of alfalfa.
ut is not so much the soil, the eli
mate. or the location. as in-knowins
how. The fact has been clearly dem
onstrated.
I'm my judgment. alfalfa is the
most valuable farm crop that can be
grown in any state"
