Inclination and work

It is sometimes not easy to draw
the line between the wiifuliy uuem-
pIoyed and those who have been
forced out Of employment Bat this
difficulty disappears when the effort
Is made to provide with work all

prehaps the hardest hit. The great
cities of the coast. Seattle, Portland
San Franchise and Los Angeles have
an enviable reputation for prosperity
aud do not willingly admit that their
labor conditions are unsatisfactory
But The present season Is proving
critical especially for San FRANCHISE

of men are reported to 9 out Of work.

the unemployed to go to work for

work which every city ought to do.
But the unemployed of San Francis

their liking. Portland reports

provide the unemployed with work.
The idea was that a municipal stone

The Ordway new era., 1914-01-02
Output this Season
will be 1900 Tons

The Colorado Alfalfa Milling
Company's plant located in Ord
way, is one Of the first alfalfa
mills to have been erected and it
holds the distinction of being the
largest. This mill was erected in
1907 when the grinding OF alfalfa
into meal was in its infancy and
in reality in the experimental
stage, but it was kept running and
today it has capacity of ten tons
per hour. At the outset the ca
pacity was three tons at the best,
even though at that time the
equipment was very complete, but
SO systematized has the work
been made that today ten tons per
hour can be ground with less la
bor and less power. This is an
item shared by the growers of al
falfa for with the cost Of manu-
facture cut to the minimum the
company is able to pay them bet
ter prices with the same margin
of profit, thus the saving is of rnu-
tual benefit. Along that line it
might be mentioned that the first
season the mill operated it ground
1885 tons of alfalfa and it took all
winter to do it. Now the same
amount of hay can be handled in
about fifteen days. This season
with what has been ground and
with what there is yet to come
the amount will reach 1900 tons.
During the past six years since
this company has been operating
its plant it has handled approxi-
mately 5000 tons of alfalfa for
which it has paid the growers on
an average of $3.50 per ton, or
almost $65o,ooo in six years has
The Ordway new era., 1914-01-02

The Colorado Alfalfa Milling
Company annually leases a large
acreage of land on which it grows
alfalfa. Among the leases held
are the DR.. Hanna farm of $40
acres, the A. B. Westfall farm Of
goo acres and the Geo. Swink Es-
tate farm of 100 acres. On these
farms the company through the
efficient management of the men
on them, the company now pro-
duces three times the tonnage Of
hay that was produced when it
first took them over. The season
just passed was the sixth year
the lease has ben held on the
Hanna ranch and it has been op-
Grated by ]. R. Thomas. A. H.
Thomas is in charge of the West
fall place and Peter Mumm of
the Swink estate property. They
have each made the growing Of
alfalfa a great study and have
brought these farms up to near
perfection as alfalfa producers.
There are many interesting re-
cords made among the growers of
hay in this county and they
prove conclusively that the crop
is a big money making one. Dur
ing the past season Al. Thomas
has sold to the company suffi-
cient tonnage of hay to make him
a neat lot of pay checks. His
first check received in September
was for $I25o.oo. The next one
was in October and amounted to

$16oe.oo while the third was for
$4,000 and paid him in Novem-
ber. This was for his share OF
the hay grown during the year
and yet he has nineteen large
stacks, each averaging about ten
tons to the stack, which he has yet
to market. The cost of produc-
tion has been about $1,000.
w. E. Strever has sold $I635
worth of hay to this mill which he
produced from thirty-6ve acres
and he retained fifteen tons for his
own use.
]. w. Rays alfalfa netted him
close to $45 per acre the past sea-
son, and scores of others made
excellent records and incidentally
good profits for their seasons
work.
So far this winter the mill has
shipped 325 car loads of alfalfa
meal to the various markets and
there are yet hundreds of tons of
hay to be ground. The company
has a large amount on hands for
grinding besides that which has
not been delivered yet. The to-
tai tonnage for the year will run
close to 14,ooo tons, and the hay
is mostly Of good quality.

gone into the pockets of'the farm
ers of Crowley county. The price
being paid this season is SIo per
ton and the crop was good, thus
it will be seen that the alfalfa
growers have prospered.
An item that means much for
Ordway and the county as a
whole is the fact that this milling
company has a payroll that reach
es Sis 1000 annually. which if it
were not for this mill would not
be placed back in circulation in
the county as it is. Aside from
the big payroll and the hay
bought from the farmers this COM
pany operates large tracts of land
on which it annually produces a
vast amount of hay. This land is
not all in one body but it totals
about 29oo acres, and on these
farms are superintendent who
look after them and tenants who
grow alfalfa on per centage ba-
sis.

ent of the Colorado Alfalfa Mill
ing Company and has been since
the first operations were begun

The Colorado Alfalfa Milling
Company is most appreciative Of
the excellent service rendered by
its tenants and superintendents Of
the farms it has under lease. The
lands have been made to produce
large increased tonnage per acre,
and the hay handled SO well that
it goes to the mill as first quality
stuff, in most cases. The men in
its employ have all done excellent
work and while bringing up the
profits for themselves have like
wise benefited the company.

X few days ago cablegram was received in this country from Europe stating that $2oooOo had been received for Whistiers pictures It ap- peared in the San Francisco Chronicle that the artist Whistler had just received s200000 for two his pictures An editorial writer in the Chronicle the next day hastened to charge d conspiracy be- tween the proof reader and linotype machine to make it appear that artist long be in receipt of $200,O00 any other sum- But such d combination, thought the editorial writer was powerful enough to give expression to a belief that great artists well their works are mperishable
 But it appears that the Chronicle has plac- ed the blame where it belongs for that paper was not the only one in this country that printed the same remarkable statement We have seen 1t in many others.

The old SpaSmodlc raidng and fanaticism the midst of vast indif- campaign Two of the mthods used are to starve the social evil by cutting off the fresh sources of supply and second, lessen the already existing supply by absorbing some of it back into the normal community.
 Cutting off the sources of supply: This is ac- complshed by making it difficult and even danger ous to put new, innocent girls into the life. By sllful prosecution and prison penalty. it can be made impossible for girl to be ruined and sold for money to the commercialized system. In a sin gle generation, commercialized prostitution will cease if the of supply is choled
 To reduce the present supply: This will not be accomplished by rading because many unfor- tunates exist after the raid before it. It will be accomplished by lifting from the life such girls as can be turned useful work. So the now existing supply will be in part slowly absorbed into the body of the heathfu community That leaves the mentally defective and the diseased to be cared for by hospital treatment. by sanitarium by coonizing by oversight
 Then proceed in the solution of this most ancient evil by training the young in ways of efficient work so that the community will have an ever increasing need of each individual. By raising wages efficiency increases shall grad ually have q scale that will grant decent liv ing and measure of security to young men and young women. making it possible for them to marry while they still young and frcsh.-The Popular
