MIDWAY FARMER MAKES
econ ALFALFA SHOWING

There are few farmers who can show
more real profit of from a small piece
Of land than NJ. C. McCahFrey of Mid
way. who recently threaded his alfalfa
crop. Il was not a long or difhcult job
@ harvest and thresb the alfalfa grown
on two and a half ACRES Of ground. but
SIS pounds Of nice clean seed is worth
just about $375 at the present market
price, and home grown seed is really
worth more than that shipped in from
other states.
Another thing to be considered is the
alfalfa hay crop this farmer harvested
early in the season before letting the
second crop 60 to seed. Several tons Of
clean alfalfa hay and seed worth $375
ia from two and half acres Of land is
we'll worth special notice. s.
NJ. Mccartney sowed the alfalfa in
rows, three feet apart. Part Of the
ffo1nd was seeded three years ago and
Ethe balance two years ago, and several
tons of hay were cut last year. By
putting the crop. In rows it gave q
chance 10 run q cultivator and this
farmer Is satisfied that it is the best
way tos handle alfalfa and he believes
that itsissa crop that every farmer in
[this part Of the country should raise.

Every town In Stark county should
take this matter up early the coming
year and Try and induce the farmers to
set at least an acre of trees. 1t will
mean a great deal to the settlers within

waiting rooms, dining room, lunch
