Wise CHANGE OF POLICY


The real estate men Of Grand
Junction have just inaugurated q
movement which will do more
toward attracting home seekers
to the Grand Valley than they
could have done by peddling $as..
600 worth Of certain kind Of boost
ing "bui X"
At a meeting Of representative of
q dozen or more real estate firms Of
that city. according to the Sentinel.
the FIRST in q concerted movement
to force down the prices Of land 10
the Grand Valley was commenced.
The situation described by the
Sentinel Is as follows:
Realizing that a readjustment
period must come when the inflated
values Of three years ago must
give way to values based on the
productive possibilities Of the soil,
the dealers agreed to stand togeth.
er to force all listed lands down to Q
point where they could recommend
them to investors.
THE advertising the valley has
received as a result Of some Of the
sales made In the boom period has
been confessedly bad; and il was in
hopes Of making back some Of the
money that was lost when the ex.
element died away that realty
owners have continued to bolster
up their prices. The realty men
agreed that the only way to colo.
nixc the valley successfully was to
admit that the former valuations
were to high, and that the land was
worth less than il was alleged to be
several years ago. A meeting will
be held Friday night. at which
other members Of the business will
be present. and at that time II Is ex.
pected that . simple agreement will
be drafted aud signed In which ali
the dealers will agree to list no
land for . higher price than they
can honestly recommend to buyer
- . property upon which he can
make successful living.

will receive the encouragement, Of
the entire business interests Of the
valley. Delta Tribune.

majority ofthose made were TO men
who were not practical farmers.
There was reason. Of course in
order to be polite most Of those
who did not buy found fault with
the markets or railroad facilities,
or said they would be back after
they Strengthened up matters at
home and then make their pur-
chase. But is ii not fact that the
greater part OF these never return

b ,yers called at The Star Office and
. number were frank enough to in

high for q new country with limit.
ed advantages in the way Of rail-
road facilities and markets. We
believe that our real estate men are
largely responsible, or should be
responsible. for the price Of land
whether it Is too high or too low.
The average farmer is too busy
to travel around over the country
to learn what the price Of land is in
the different localities, but the man
who comes in to buy usually knows
what it should be. The real estate
man should know this to and in
listing land should strive to keep
the price where it would be fair for
both the seller and buyer. We
should have a law prohibiting real
estate men from purchasing and
holding lands for speculative pur-
poses as this is often a temptation
to boost prices.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S rARirr FIGHT
The large protected interests in
the country have become - alarm
ed ct the iron hand with which
President Wilson holds his party
together In the Senate which in
sures the passage .f the pending
tariff bill at an early date, thereby
lessening the cost of living tina,
they have sent q powerful lobby to
corrupt congress and defeat the
pending tariff bill II possible. The
country at large Is fully Impressed
with the fact that this bill d drawn
absolutely In the interest Of the
whole people Of this country and
not In the interest Of the "male fac.
tors Of great wealth. as Roosevelt
calls them. which has been the case
10 all previous tariff bills for more
than fifty years. Those Democrat.
ic senators who have been Wabbling
and getting weak in the knees have
been hearing from home" in I'M
mistakable terms and they have
been told and are receiving letters
every day by the hundreds telling
them that il they vote against the
present tariff bill, or IL they vote to
amend il SO as to make ii objection
able to President Wilson that they
will be left at home when their
terms are up and their political
careers not only ended but blasted
forever and branded as traitors be-
sides. It is the power Of these let
tiers direct from the people that is
enabling Wilson to hold his party
with its narrow majority together
on the tariff bill.
PRESIDENT WILSON SOUNDS ALARM
Only a few days ago the Presi-
dent gave out an interview to the
country charging that q powerful
lobby is at work to corrupt the
Senate and defeat the sugar
schedule Of the tariff bill. Since
President Wilson sounded this
alarm letters have been pouring in
on Congress by the thousands.
The progressive republican senator's
have also been hearing from home
and they had been told that u they
do not vote for this bill they will
prove that they we're merely play.
ing the "demogogue" when they
denounced the existing tariff bill
which was the work Of the motor
ious speakers Cannon and Nelson
Aldrich. In view Of this fact II is
quite likely that several OF the Pro
gressive senators will vote for the
pending bill when the day OF FINAL
action arrives for il IL q great i'm
provement over the existing Can
non Payne ldridge bill.

TAKE THIS MANS ADVICE
TRY THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY

1t always gives me pleasure TO rec
ommend anything that is right and 30
l feel it my duty to herald the praises
of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
For years l was troubled with kid
ney disease and it was so intense that
was bedridden for days at time.
l gave up all hope and doctors for
miles around gave me no help. Incl
dentally / tried several patent RENE
dies and at last tried Swamp Root.
From the first it gave me relief and
it was no time before / was able to
be up and around and now / am per-
fectly well and able to work as 1 used
to before my terrible sickness.
So now let me thank you for your
wonderful discovery and take this oP-
portunity to recommend 1t to all whs
suffer from kidney troubles.
Yours very truly,

NOW IT'S KING ALFALFA.
With Five More Crops Year, ii Pays
Better Than Corn.

Corn has been considered king, but
these two previous seasons, with
shortage of rainfall, have proved al
falfa more productive. Corn having
one time each season to make its
crop cannot compete with crop haV-
ing from four to six chances. as has
alfalfa.
Alfalfa has from early spring to late
fall to make its crops, and its deep
root system prevents drought from
having any very vital effect on it. Its
roots in old fields have been found
enty feet deep seeking moisture.
A proper seeding of alfalfa will
stand for from five to seven years.
About eighteen pounds of seed is re-
quired at each seeding. which will
cost $2.70 per acre when seed Is SELL
! ing at $15 a hundredweight. To seed
| this same area to corn six years with
$I4 corn will cost SO an acre.
Preparing seed bed for corn six
times is much higher than once for
alfalfa. Harvesting a crop of alfalfa
yielding five tons an acre will cost
near 1910, and harvesting a crop of
corn will cost 1926 an acre, or Is
cents more than alfalfa.
Alfalfa is one of our most effective
soil builders. 1t adds nitrogen and
humus, while corn takes away both.
! Cultivatng corn as we do burns out
the humus and uses the nitrogen con-
tent Also many beneficial bacteria
are killed by the soil receiving the ex.
ira amount of suns rays. 1t causes
the compact subsoil known as 'plow
pan" unless we subsoil.
Corn can be used as grain, hay or
ensilage Alfalfa can be utilized in
the form of hay. silage or we may
often harvest it as grain, which more
than equals the practice of making it
into hay.
The only reason why alfalfa is not
king in the minds of most farmers is
because but few know the most sue
cessful method of handling the crop,
