WHITE CHRISTMAS
 FIRST IN YEARS

A white Christmas the first seen here in many years, greeted the eyes of Conway people when they arose yesterday morning. The weather fore least of the preceding day was verified when a rain, which began falling be- fore midnight Wednesday, turned in- to snow, and by Christmas morning the ground was covered to depth of about three inches. the snowfall con- tinuing until late in the morning. A large proportion of precipitation melt cd as it fell. The temperature was exactly at the freezing point and cleo tric light and telephone wires were broken down in several places by the weight of the ice, the electric light plant being forced to shut down for about an hour until repairs could be made The slush rendered the al ready miry streets in still worse condition.
 A hard freeze occurred last night and the weather continues unsettled today, with prospects of more rain or snow. The forecast. however, is for fair and warmer weather tonight and Saturday.

CHRISTMAS HERE
 SAFE AND SANE

Christmas at Conway was one of the quietest in many years. Condi- tions both overhead and underfoot were distinctly unfavorable to outdoor pleasures of any kind, and few people were to be seen on the streets. The number of visitors here for the holi- days is unusually large, and many en- ioyable Christmas dinings and enter tainments were given,
 Only one accident has been reported and the cases of drunkenness or disor- derly conduct were remarkably few.

COUNTY CAMPAIGN
 OPENS ATIWOOSTtR

The county campaign opened at Wooster today, the local candidates leaving Conway for that place at an early hour this morning. On account of the telephone lines being out of or der, the Log Cabin Democrat is un- able to get a report of the first day speaking. It was expected, however, that on account of the bad roads and d;sagreeabe weather, the crowd to hear the speakers would be small.
 The candidates speak at Kendall to- night and at Greenbrier Saturday. Next week they will visit Guy, Enders, Mt Vernon, Naylor, Holland and Vii lonia, in the order named, and the campaign will close on Monday, Jan uary ,, at Conway.

1, frequently in the past has character ized observance of the day. In mosts Southern cities rigid regu- lations governing the use of fireworks and firearms in connection with the Christmas celebrations have been en- forced, with the result that accidents were comparatively few. At New Orleans a campaign against the careless use of fireworks brought good results A similar campaign at Birmingham, Ala, resulted in the quietest Christmas that city has ever seen.
 Many industrial works there were shut yesterday and today, but there was no disorder.
 Reports of an exceptionally quiet Christmas came from virtually every city in Texas At Dallas there were no serious accidents. Snow at Mem phis, Tenn, provided white Christ mas unmarred by serious catastrophe. Louisville, Ky, in the throes of a
 sleet and snow storm, reported a Christmas singularly free from acci- dents. Atlanta's safe and sane campaign resulted in the quietest Christmas ever observed here.

Repeated experiments made by the agricultural colleges. aud the results obtained by the actual growers Of all .aIa in the semi-arid sections of the est throne hout the corn belt states, and in tine south and east. are concM- sive evidence of the great value of ll;alfa.
 There are few farmers whose profits Ould not be increased greatly by rais- ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce. as far as possible, his o@dstufs upon his own farm Daring the last few years. the area devoted to alfalfa has greatly in- creased in the region west of the Mis- *ouri river. and it is certain that here will be an equally rapid in -rea@e throughout the eastern and
 outE I'll parts Of the United States.
 Many of the attempts in the past ic grow alfalfa ill the humid regions have failed, but with our present knowledge of the requirements of the crop there will be little, if any. more trouble in securing a stand
 Alfalfa will soon be grown sbun- dantiy and profitably upon every farm l. is no more difficult to grow than clover and gives double the yield The deep roofing habit of alfalfa enables it to resist drouth when clover, tim othy blue grass and other forage grasses die for want of moisture AL falfa roots grow deep into the soil far beyond the roots of other plants.
 Its drouth resisting power is of no greater importance than it's great value as soil enricher. The long roots bring phosphorus, potash and other plant foods from below and store them in the upper soil for the use of other plants. Experiments show greatly increased yields of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod
 Alfalfa is rich in protein the most bone. blood and muscle in growing sni- mals
 Why We Need Alfalfa. There is no com bination of feeds so economical for the production of beef, pork mutton, butter and eggs, as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give the best results alone. We need alfal- | ia because 1t balances Cp the corn ration and. saves the large waste of starch which always takes place where corn is fed alone We need alfalfa because We can by means of 1t grow on our own farms the protein more profitably than we can buy it in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because l it feeds the soil and enables us to 1 grow larger crops of corn and oats 1 We need alfalfa because it produces on an average double the feed value per acre of clover or any other forage crop
 Advisable to inocuiate.
 In regions where alfalfa has no, been grown it is found to be neces- sary to inoculate the ground by sow ing three or four bags of soil secured | from field where alfalfa or sweet clover has been grown for a number of years; or where it is more convenient, artificial cul ture, such as 'nitragin, "farmo germ, etc, may be applied. Where alfalfa has not been grown before il may make the difference between sue cess and failure.
