Jamestown Capital: A small bale of
alfalfa, the fourth cutting from the
field of VIM. Hall, north of the city,
was brought to The Daily Capital Of
fee Saturday. The legume looked as
spicy and potent in energy as a bale
of tea, n seemed to be almost as
aromatic. When four crops of alfa1-
IA can be grown is a single season 1t,
would seem that it would be difficult
to find a more profitable crop any

ence. Pastors serving q circuit of
two or three denominations would
unite in using a single church uild
ing, but each would have it's own

of two or three churches of their de-

stand that church federation usually

Minot Optic: A car shortage in the
western part Of North Dakota and
in Montana is greatly hampering the
movement of grain in that section of
the country and the elevators at those
western parts are overflowing with
grain. The car shortage is not seri-
Gus, however. as it Is only confined
to Montana and the western end of
the Flickertail state. Minot, which
has never been seriously involved at
such times, is now in no danger from
the temporary tie-up.
Courtenay Gazette: Every county
in the state and practically every part
Of every county is discussing diversi-
fed farming, and work in that direc-
ton is progressing very rapidly. The
diversified farming idea Is the saliva
ton and will be the salvation of the
state. 1t ought to have been adopted
years ago, and now that the farmers
have begun in earnest, five years
hence there will be comparatively few
chattel mortgages made n fled
which will mean much better credit
for the farmers themselves, and fol
the state as well.
