TIE entire plan and process Of put
ting alfalfa on every farm is distinc-
lively educational. The knowledge OBJ
tanned concerning the value OF the
plant and the possibility of growing il
leads to an Inspiration which is known
by the fact that the farmer actually
grows alfalfa
In working out the plan to its most
effective end, it is absolutely necessary
that the school and home cooperate
that parents, pupils and teacher work
together. Any line OF work that offers
opportunity for parents and pupils to
think, talk and reei together is worth
while

Usually be found possible to pro-
cure the same. A better plan, how
ever, when it is possible, is to visit
an alfalfa field, study the plants, talk
to the farmer and make full notes for
schoolroom use. Parts of the printed
matter received are used in reading
lessons.
Carry on Experiments.
Experiments in growing alfalfa on a
small plot on the farm are reported tC

failure are discussed. All this work

BITTER ATTACK ON
 PASTOR RUSSEL
Rev. Percy H. Cross of Hot Springs Calls Him The Greatest Schem- er"-TWO DiVines Will
 Meet Friday.

Hot Springs, June 2.-"The great est schemer who ever sat on Gods footstool. Melaphorically, I take my hat off to him. He is a man who works 2,0OO newspapers daily"
 This was the sarcastic arraign- ment of Pastor Charles T. Russell, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, by Rev. Percy Il. Cross, pastor of the Chris tian church here, last night. As Rev. Cross spoke he held aloft a picture of the noted divine.
 The attack on Pastor Russell was in compliance with action taken by the local Ministers Alliance, which selcIed the Rev. Mr. Cross to eX- pose Russellism. He reviewed the past life of the Brooklyn divine and quoted court records and language used during the matrimonial liti- gation Russell passed through. His teachings and writings, the Rev. Mr. Cross scathingly denounced. In the midst of his sermon he said he would like to meet Pastor Russell in a debate. The wish was no soon- CT expressed than MT. Driscoll, sec retary and press representative of the convention. arose and stated that he would see that such a de- bate were arranged for next Friday The Rev Mr. Cross accepted.
 More than 1000 delegates are at tending this convention. Pastor Russell will be here to personally defend any of his following. Every pulpit in Hot Springs of the Prot estant faith was closed against the members of the convention, among whom are some of the leading Bi- ble students of the country, and the action of the Ministers Alliance is being severely criticised.
