Geo. Eberlein stopped us on the
street the other day and remarked:
Il was glad to see you hand 1t to the
Georges last week about the amount
OF alfalfa In this county. It's my
opinion those two fellows don't know
what they are talking about when
they say alfalfa cannot be grown in
Brookings county. There are quite a
number OF fields here nov and I be-
Ileve there will be more just as soon
as the farmers appreciate Its value.
The high cost OF the seed, too, has
helped to keep the farmers from tackl-
ing the proposition, but that is getting
cheaper. Just al soon as We get alf-
alta established in this county our
farm lands will increase considerably
In value"
The regular fall prairie fire reports
are showing up all over the state,
some Of them even in the old settled
counties. The most danger is In the
newly settled sections, where scatter
ed settlers have a hard time to con-
troll the flames, especially when a high
wind prevails, which is usually the
case at the time OF a fire. Losses
have been reported from a number OF
the northwest portions of the state,
but as yet they have been principally
confined to hay stacks or standing
hay, and while this viii mean q short
age of forage in the affected sections.
II Is not seriously heavy on any
individual. Only the greatest Of care
will prevent the recurrence OF fires
which will not only destroy other prop
erty than hay, but may seriously
lendanger human life.
