OVER $50 PER ACRE
w. F. Duvalls' Ninety Acre Alfalfa
Yield Sets New Mark for Crop
Values in Bates County.

voAUS0 AS 0OSCo SVuuSys
A ninety acre tract of Bates county
land produced a crop this season
worth over ninety dollars per acre,
and this in spite of the severe drouth
which reduced the yield of corn to
below an average of five bushels to
the acre. And this seeming miracle
was accomplished with a crop which
the average farmer contends cannot
.be grown in Bates country SOIL
alfalfa.
W. F. Duvall has been one of the
few who contend that alfalfa may be
successfully grown here and during
the past three years he has proceeded
to conclusively demonstrate that his
theories were sound. Every year he
has met with success with his alfalfa
crop but this years yield, in the face
of one of the worst drougths in the
history of the county, is so remark
able that it demands publication.
Mr.. Duvall's figures on:the yield of
this crop which are very conservative
places the value as follows:
Yield of hay $45. 90 per acre; yield
of seed crop, S to 6 bushels to the
acre which at the least calculation is
worth $3.50 per bushel or $3.50 per
acre; value of threshed hay $40 per
acre or total value of $3.50 per
acre for the full ninety acres for this
seasons crop.
These figures are not guess work,
but are the actual records ofthe yield.
In discussing that subject Mr.. Du-
vail remarked "My alfalfa ground
owes me nothing. We may truth
fully add that if the farmers of the
county will profit by his experience
the county at large will be deeply in
his debt.

In this congressional district the
Democrats promise nice three-cor-
nered fight for the congressional NOM
nation next year. To an impartial
observer, it appears the Democrats
have no substantial reason for "swap-
ping horses at this stage of the
game. Congressman Dickinson is
'safe and sane" and has attended to
his job with considerable care and
ability. The other aspirants may be
able men, but Dickinson's experience
is a valuable asset to him. 1t would
require term or two for new man
to gain Dickinsons' experience and
be as valuable to his constituents

The town of Monegaw, so indus
triously doomed by Kansas City spec

end. The mayor and town board
have served notice that they will ask
the County Court to dissolve its in
corporation as village. Three things
have prevented Monegaw from being
a city, all of them hurtful in the eX-
IRENE, the lack of railway facilities,
the fact that the springs were subject
to overflow and the further fact that
the real estate of that vicinity has
been buffeted about by a horde of
spectators, resulting in everlasting
harm to the c6mmunity.-Henry Co.

Uel w. Lampkin, of Clinton, Mo-,
who for some time has been men,
toned as a probable candidate for
State Superintendent Public Schools
has announced that he will not be a
candidate for that office at this time.
This leaves the field clear for Hon.
Howard A. Gass of Jefferson City
who will probably have no opposi-
ton. Mr.. Lampkin, who is county
superintendent of schools of Henry
county is generally recognized as one
of the foremost young educators of

friends throughout the state who hope
at some time to be able to show their ap-
probation of his worth.
Adrian will present a candidate for
the Democrat nomination for Record
er of Deeds of Bates county at the
coming primary in the person of
George J. Moore. The editor of the
Journal differs from Mr.. Moore in
political belief but we have never
been so blinded by political or party
partisanship that we cannot or do not
recognize true worth and high class
citizanship. George Moore is a man
of high ideals, is an excellent citizen
and a fine man. He has labored in
cessantly for his party since he has
been a resident of this section Of
Bates and his party will make no
mistake in comforting upon him the
