GROWING OF ALFALFA
Is DEMONSTRATED,

MoRGANTOWN. July 5.-Therc is
nothing that will convince farmer
quite so thoroughly that alfalfa Will
grow on his land as to show him a
field Of alfalfa actually growing there.
He may be inclined to say that his
land is too poor. or that /; is too sour.
or too sandy, or too claycy or some.
thing of that sort but If he can step
out back OF the barn. climb over the
fence and land knee deep in luXurianr
green alfalfa foliage his doubts are
quite likely TO die sudden death.
Acting on the above general obser.
walton the Extension Department Of
the College of Agriculture Is offering
to grow small field OF alfalfa on the
farm Of every man who is interested
enough 10 ask for it and to cooperate
with the Department in bringing about
the desired result. The Department
will send out i man 10 look over the
proposed plot, 10 superintend the prep

soil with bacteria. to advise concern.
ing the cutting and curing OF the hay
in short TO do everything necessary
10 insure the successful growing OF
the crop.
or course the Department can moi
undertake TO put out very large indi.
vidual fields In this way but II Is not
desirable for the farmer TO eXperi.
ment with a large acreage until he has
had more experience, and fields OF
moderate size will he planted in large
numbers during the coming season.

GOT HIS DESERTS.

A Fort Wayne man has filed suit
for divorce, claiming that his wife,
whom be married only few months
ago, smokes cigarets, gets beastly
drunk three or four times a week,
and that she makes practice of TAX
ing trips out of town with other men.
He probably merits just about the
sort of mate he has, for the prob
abilities all are that she was a
thoroughly depraved women when he
married her "a fact that he could
have ascertained very easily had he
SO desired. Either this, or his own
influence has had a most damning
effect upon her. The man who
marries a good girl and who is all
right himself doesn't have his wife
cutting up such monkeyshines before
the honeymoon is fairly over. And
