When Philander Chase, first bishop
of Ohio, went to England in 1928, he
carried a letter of introduction from
Henry Clay to Lord Gambler. The
assistance of Lord Gambler and his
friend, Lord Kenyon, was OF inestima-

and founded his college. The Ohio
town in which the school was located
was named after Lord Gambler, and

but she could not see the point of a
joke. Her classmates at college, jolly,
fun loving girls, regretted the serious
defect In their dear friend and deter

So they made up a little joke with
a very broad point, to spring upon
Evelyn that night. Accordingly. when
they had all met in Evelyn's room
Clara propounded the joke, which was
really a riddle.

the best way to make a Maltese

No" replied Maud, after due
thought. "How do you make NAL

to interview, as all newspaper men
will testify, but he has the saving
sense of humor that always sends one

would not talk for publication. In
stead, he said, You know ii might be

CAMP AIGNING
FOR ALFALFA
Object of the Work and Results
Obtained-Some of the
Prominent Features.
GOING TO THE FARM HOMES
Thirteen Campaigns Have Been Car
ried on In Michigan, Ohio and I'LL
nois-HoIden's Plan Meets Warm
Reception With the Farmers.

Prof. P. G. Holden, director of the
Agricultural Extension Department OF
the International Harvester Company
of New Jersey, has planned and put
into operation a new method of ex-
tending agricultural knowledge.
Holden was the originator OF agri-
cultural demonstration trains; OF ag-
ricultural short courses, and many
other effective plans, through the
agency of which millions of dollars
have been added to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
The latest plan OF Holden liz TO
place alfalfa upon every farm. There
are three prominent features In bis
plan:
Cd The introduction OF a compare
lively new crop into the Corn
Belt, Southern and Eastern
states.
(2) Going direct to the homes OF the
farmers, where meetings are
held in the fields, and success
and failure discussed according
to local conditions.
(3) The use Of that most modern We
hicle-the automobile.

Thirteen campaigns have thus far
been successfully conducted In Mich
igan, Ohio and Illinois.
Some Of the Results.
Results of the Kent county tMich.)
campaign are:
CD Six thousand farmers visited at
their homes during q f1ve-day
campaign.
90 Thirty-two meetings held.
80 Three hundred and seventy-nve
miles travelled by the Alfalfa Au-
tomobile Train.
"a One hundred and thirtysix alfalfa
talks made by the Holden stan
of alfalfa lecturers.
90 Many applications for similar cam
paigns from all parts OF the
United States.
The Kent county campaign has been
followed by campaigns in Allegan,
Barry, Grand Traverse and St. Clair
counties, Michigan; Van Vert, Marion,
Fulton, Williams and Champaign coun-
ties, Ohio; and Sangamon, DuPage
and Kane counties, Illinois.
Great Meeting In Ohio.
At one meeting In Ohio upon the
farm Of Joseph E. Wing, near Mechan-
icsburg, nearly 1000 people gathered
from all parts OF Ohio and adjoining
states to learn more about alfalfa. At
this great meeting the Ohio State Al
ralfa Growers association was organ
jzed. Over 800 automobiles made up
The alfalfa train. 1t is recorded as
he greatest agricultural assemblage
in the history of Ohio. Other Ohio
counties where the work has been
taken up report success on every
hand
Sangamon and Kane counties, ILL
nois have both conducted great cam
paigns. At one meeting in Williams
Vile, ILL.,, over 1900 farmers came to
near the alfalfa lecturers.
In all OF these campaigns which
were conducted within a period Of
about two months nearly 10000 farm
ers have been reached with the Cos
pei of alfalfa.
AS result also of the campaign
work it is conservatively estimated
that 100000 acres Of alfalfa will be
seeded during this and the coming
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
II campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly
more than this tangible result has
been accomplished. Every farmer
throughout the region where the work
was conducted is talking about al
talfa. The cooperation OF the schools
IN the territory is very important
md effective feature. School officials.
rom the highest to the lowest, have
never failed to appreciate the oppor-
unity.
Professor Holden has expressed
himself as considering it the most
wonderful experience and the most
beneficial trip from the farm stand
point that he has ever taken.
But this is not all-wherever the
,aImers OF any community are l"iGf-
ested in the growing of alfalfa, when
possible a follow-up man, thorough IN
his knowledge of alfalfa culture, will
be sent out to assist them in getting
a start. He will live with the
farmers and aid them in solving
the problems at home. He will
go from farm to farm upon re-
quest and study success and failure.
Before the coming of 1914 cam
paigns will have been conducted In
every part Of the United States and

Purpose Of Campaign.

The primary purpose OF the cam
paign is to show the American farmer
that alfalfa is the most profitable crop
he can grow; that 1t can be grown
profitably upon every farm; that 1t en-
riches the soil; increases farm values !;
stimulates live stock growing and dai-
rying; produces double that OF other
hay crops, and Is better feed.
Thirteen campaigns have thus far
been successfully conducted In Mich

enjoying the entire confidence of
the people he once had.

The Missoulian's editorial Of a
late issue discussing the two trials
in the district court in which
whiskey played an important
part, owing to the defense in
both cases being alcoholism or ir-
responsibility due to overindulg-
ence in liquor. was very timely.
The reference to a statement of
a member of the board of county
commissioners regarding the sale
of liquor in any but Incorporated
towns, where there is ample po-
lice protection, is one which
should receive careful considera-
ton. This law prevails in Wyom-
ing and is working we'll. That
state found that a majority of
the criminal cases, especially
murder, originated from out of
the way places where saloons
were run. away from police sur
veilance. The legislature Of that
state enacted a law prohibiting
saloons outside of Incorporated
towns, and the effect was bene-
fetal. Here on the Flathead
where no liquor can be sold for
over 20 years yet to come, the
question is not a vital one, but
other portions of the state are
not so situated.
