MET WITH A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Little Lee Gilmore, the three year
old son of Atty. j. NJ. Gilmore while
playing around the electric clothes
wringer on last Saturday while in mo
ton, in some manner got his hand
caught between the rollers, and the
member was drawn in clear up to the
forearm before the current could be
thrown off. Assistance was called,
but the little fellow was held in the
awful grip of the machine for five or
ten minutes. The flesh and muscles
of the arm were mashed and bruised
badly, and only the softness and flexi-
oility of the baby bones saved the arr.
from being broken. The little fellow
is getting along nicely, and is now able
to move the fingers some.

miles Of railroad. covering over POO
square miles in area, and reaching 40
points OF visitation, with 500 lectures
delivered, before its close, which will
last 40 days.
The Purpose of the Campaign.
The purpose Of the Holden Alfalfa
Campaign is to encourage the more
general growing of alfalfa upon the
1arms of the Inland Empire, it having
specifically demonstrated that alfalfa
greatly improves the fertility and me-
chanlcal condition of the soil. There
Is no crop which can be grown in the
inland Empire that will do more to
improve the agricultural conditions of
Idaho, Washington and Oregon. than
the growing of this crop. Numerous
experiments, conducted by the col
Rges, prove it's adaptability to the
soil and climate of the Pacific north
west. The yields of cured hay from
many sections are four to six tons
per acre per year.
Continuous cropping of wheat from
year to year will ultimately exhaust
the soil of its fertility; it is necessary
therefore, that some leguminous crop
be placed in rotation with wheat. AL
ialfa will not only produce from three
TO four crops of the best hay per
year, but experiments prove that it
pays for the privilege by adding to
each acre of land upon which it is
grown approximately $3.50 worth Of
nitrogen commercial value), the prin-
cipal element of plant food.
Alfalfa growing, will, in turn, stim-
ulate livestock and dairying interests
and of necessity bring about diversi-
fled system of farm practice.
When the above conditions are
brought about, the wasteful methods
of shipping away soil fertility to the
grain elevators will cease. Livestock
will consume the forage and the fer
tilizing elements of the barn yard will
be returned OF the fields; land will
become more productive and increase
in per acre value. Agricultural and
commercial conditions will improve,
to the benefit of town and country
alike.
The local people in each commun-
lty should assist in every way pos
sible to make this campaign a COM
plete success. 1t is essentially a cam
paign by the people and for the peo-
pie.
