pie. To the men who are at present
disappearing my position on the
alfalfa question, | have only to say
that imaginary interviews furnish no
profit. Three years ago in my address
on Hardy Alfalfas for Northern
Prairies," at the State Conservation
Congress at Pierre, January 27, 1911, |
made the following statements:
Some people are inclined to shut
their eyes and ears to the fact that
the common alfalfa is sometimes win
ter-killed, and to blame the farmer for
all the failures; such people like to tell
only about its uccesse and to disre-
gard the failures. This is not the
best way. The other extreme would
be to wait with sowing any alfalfa
until seed of perfectly hardy plants
is obtained in commercial quantities.
Either view is extreme and unwise.
My own position in the matter is that
we should plant the best seed that we
can get, taking care that it is free
as possible from weed seed. The past
dry season, rs you know, was especial
ly favorable to the production Of good
vigorous seed of strong terminating
capacity. A large amount of such seed
was raised in South Dakota the past
.,~A -If.1co .A;al 4
brought over for the first time in the
spring of 1898 has made good over a
wide area. Alfalfa is so valuable that
even n good crop is a paying invest
ment."
In this address I also stated that alf-
alta seed grown for a series of years
in South Dakota was superior, because
the severe winters acted as a sieve to
sift out the weaker individual plants
not adapted to the climate. This ad-
dress was widely published at the
time, and several thousand copies
have been sent throughout South Da-
kota and other states.
In plain English, try all other alf-
alias first, getting the seed as neal
as possible. If you succeed, hang on
to what you have. If you fail, try my
two Russian varieties, Cossack or
Cherno, or the Siberian. Any fair
minded man will admit that this pro-
position at once removes the matter
from all controversy. Letters from
every western state, from the southern
to the northern boundary of the Unit
ed States, show hat farmers on dry
divides and bench lands want some
thing requiring less water than any
alfalfa they now have. These letters
show that low bottom land and high
dry bench land are two different prob
lens for the alfalfa grower.
The final solution depends not only
on hardness and drought-resistance,

SIBERIAN UPLAND ALFALFA

The problem assigned to me by the
legislature three years ago and one
year ago was not to work with the
alfalfas now obtainable in commerce,
but to introduce and distribute new
alfalfas. This I am endeavoring to do
to the best of my ability, and when
this is completed. I figure that my
share Of the work Is done.
1t was understood by every member
of the legislature that this Is a dry
upland proposition. Plants of this
yellow lowered Siberian alfalfa from
the Semipalatinsk region, planted by
many farmers on high dry upland in
1911 west of the Missouri river, had
proven their ability to stand the Sc
we're drought of 1911 and 1912. The
plants contained this good record in
1913. These are perhaps three of the
driest years in the history of the state.
The fact that such plants have yielded
from 8 to 10 and ever IL pounds of
green forage per plant has given en
couragement to many people who
would otherwise have left the coun-
try. They have faith in the plants
themselves.
Planted in rows 2x4 feet or 5,444
plants to the acre, this figures out 8 to
IL tons. dried weight. per acre. You
could cut this twice in two and still
do very much better than we are do
ing from buffalo grass. l ask no one
to believe any faster than can be de-
monstrated by field tests. Some $500
farmers are working with me on this
problem. and 1t Is the opinion of these
men and not Of any expert that I de-
pend upon for the final verdict.
The history Of all new plants. in.
ventions and methods shows that u n
favorable evidence can be secured in
abundance from experts on any new
proposition. When the first steamboat
was about to cross the ocean. experts
figured out the utter impossibility that
any boat could be made big enough
to hold enough coal for the voyage.
A similar Incredibly is evident when

this Siberian alfalfa on the highest
and driest uplands from the Panhan-

VINO have already tried ordinary alf-

us. But each farmer must try for
himself on his own land as to what

obtained last summer in Siberia, COM
ing as it does from 8 inch rainfall

plement rather than supplant the alf-
alias now commercially available. In
other words, it should be tested mainly
wherever the common alfalfas suffer
from lack of moisture or from winter
killing. Wherever the common alf-
alias do well my advice has always
been: Let well enough alone"

OBITUARY.
WINFIELD SCOTT sHARPs

Taps were sounded for another old
veteran last Friday evening, when
"Jack" Sharps, as he was familiarly
known to everyone, passed away after
long and valiant fight against an in
sidious disease.
For several years Mr.. Sharps had
been sufferer from dropsy but not
until four or five months ago had he
been confined to his home at 500 South
Thirteenth street. About week before
his demise Mr.. Sharps was taken to the
home of his son-in-law, W.T.. Cation, sos
Willow Ave, where he appeared easier
until suddenly taken with the approach
ing dissolution on Thursday, when it
was too late to return him to his own
home.
Winfield Scott Sharps was born in
Iowa &c years ago and though but lad
at the time of the Civil War he answer
ed his country's call to arms and re-
mained in service until the close of the
war when he received an honorable dis
charge His early manhood was spent
in Missouri and it was in that state
that he was united in marriage with
the loving and faithful helpmate who
is now left to mourn his passing. He
also leaves two daughters and several
grandchildren. The daughters are Mrs.
w. f. Cation and Mrs. Harry Hashman,
the latter coming from Ottawa, Kan,
to attend the funeral, which was held on
Sunday afternoon, DIR. Weaver and the
PRESBYTERIAN church choir having charge
of the services.
A large concourse of friends and
neighbors followed the remains to Valley

Wadsworth Post, G. A. R., reformed
the last sad rites over all that was
mortal of brother comrade-in-arms
who had answered the last call.

WAS FINE ENTERTAINMENT
Musicale at the High School Last
Night Was Greatly Appreciated by
Large Audience

At the high school auditorium last
night the musicale given by the high
school students under direction of Miss
Martha Kendrick delighted very
splendid audience with the excellent
numbers on the program. The pro-
gram opened with a tambourine drill
by the freshmen girls.
One fthe features at the musicale
last night was the exhibition OF
strength displayed by the high school
football team when II men lifted and
placed on the stage the heavy grand
piano used in the concert. The feat
indicated the strength of the young
athletes and evoked some applause.
The program was unusually long, but
no number dragged on the enthusiast
tic audience and each number received
a full measure of applause. The en-
tertainment was the first of the sea-
son as the very splendid work of those
participating indicates the. high class
entertainment that will be forthcoming
at the high school at successive affairs
this season.

JUDGE WALTERS HERE
Well Known Idaho Jurist on BRIEF
Campaign Trip in the Northern
Part of the State

Il am just making a 10-days tour OF
northern Idaho in the interests of my
campaign for the office of supreme
judge. having been relieved from my
duties in my district for that period
end | do not wish to make any pre-
dictions or calculations as to the out
ccme of the election, feeling that the
partisan spirit of the law contem-
Plates that for this office the candidate
should refrain from making claims,
said Judge E. A Walters of Shoshone,
who was in the city today for a brief
visit.
Judge Walters is the presiding judge
in the fourth judicial district which
contains seven counties. He was NOM
mated in the primaries as one of the
candidates for the supreme bench. He
left for Lewiston today and from there
goes to the southern part of the state.
Judge Walters is one of the best
known jurists in the state. AS an evil
dence of his popularity in his district
he was displaying to friends gold
watch presented to him in 1907 by the
clerks of the district at that time and
also a gold chain and diamond stud
ded locket, presented to him by two
different juries in his district. Judge
Walters just completed visit to
Kootenai, Bonner and Shoshone coun-
ties.
