to, the Wilds Of Siberia, bringing with

The seed is Of hardy upright, yell

On previous trips to Siberia for the
department Of agriculture at Washing

yelloW-f1owered alfalfa and brought
home quantities of seed to be tested Is
this country. The seed was distribute

In the high n dry regions of South

trials to develop seeds and plants, it
was seen that this alfalfa was a dis
covery of. first Importance. and that If
it was used largely 1t would add i'm

The problem was to obtain more
seed. The people Of the state were
eager to solve this. Consequently the

WOULD HAVE USED
CANAL MONEY TO = 4
| r. BUILD HIGHWAYS

Manchester, N. H, Nov. 13.-The Ia
Dor and money spent on the Panama
canal might have been used to better
purpose on the highways Of this coun-
try, Oliver Wilson Of Illinois, master
Of the National Grange, told delegates
to the national convention Of the pa
irons Of husbandry in his annual re-
port yesterday. f.: a''s ,r&.,'
1.-THE building Of the Panama canal
Is a national project, Of which all
Americans are proud, yet the same
amount Of labor and money spent on
our highways at home would create
benefits nearer and probably more i'm
portant to our own people," he said.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that the federal
government almost ignored the CUES
ton Of transportation between the
country home and the railroad, tho
farm and the business center, except
to give advice on road construction. '
The National Grange" he said,
should consider the employment Of
prisoners in preparation of road ma
~terial, and in actual road work, by
placing them on their honor, whenever
possible"
He also, submitted ideas from the
viewpoint of the farmer regarding ru-
raj credits, saying:
II believe any rural credit system
should make it easy and safe for
farmer to borrow money to buy or m
prove his land or equipment to oper-:
ate the same.
Long time credit at the lowest pos
sible interest should be available for
the farmer who desires it,

sion that was sent to Europe had but
very few representatives Of agricul'
ture; consequently we can expect bul
little. If any, benefit from its report.
