The Register has refrained from tax
ing part in the controversy between
Prof. Hansen and the Aberdeen Better
Farming Association, for the reason
that we have neither the space nor the
inclination to wage the same kind of a
fight in the professors behalf as the
Aberdeen dailies have for Patterson.
However, we are this week printing
a letter from a farmer west of the
river. who hands Mr.. Patterson and his
better farming association a severe
jolt. We have discussed the alfalfa
question with a number Of people
from the western part of the state and
we believe the writer very nearly
expresses their views. They have no
personal interest in Prof. Hansen, but
they do have absolute confidence in
his alfalfas. and believe they mean
the salvation of that country.
