The Advantages of Raising Alfalfa
An Essay by Earl Esselstyn of Echo

tered over the ground to be treated
at the rate of about two or three hun
cred pounds per acre and mixed with
the other soil by discing or narrowing
the land. Not very much trouble
when the good results are taken into
consideration.
Another way in which inoculation
is done is to obtain some pure culture
from a laboratory and inoculate the
seeds to be planted. The seeding, in
this case, mustbe done on cloudy
day or in the evening, because. seed
treated in this way must not be expos
ed to the sun.
Another reason for failure is the
use of other than home grown seed.
1t is quite a task to raise alfalfa for
seed but there are some who do it. At
any rate seed warranted 90 $40 per
cent pure, grown in Russia or some
other foreign country where the cli
matte conditions are entirely differ
ent would probably not do half so
well as home grown seed of 95 or ev-
en- 80 per cent pure.
Alfalfa may be grown anywhere it
is wanted. 1t makes a beautiful lawn,
an appropriate roof garden, or deli
cate houseplant to perfume the room.
One practical use of alfalfa in out-of-
tte-way places, is it's growth in or
chards. This has been regarded by
most orchardists as a hazardous risk
for the best good of the orchard in
the future. However, later investiga-
tions show that alfalfa is an advan-
take under certain conditions. In
fact many experimenters have said
that it is very helpful to the trees.
Scientifically it can be proven that al
fslfa is for the best of the orchard.
OF course some things that prove
cut scientifically correct don't always
work out when put to the test. AL
falfa strengthens the soil by adding
nitrogen and humus, by loosening the
hard subsoils and thus increasing the
water capacity, and by acting as a
cover during the hot. dry seasons. 1t
benefits the trees by preventing ex-
cessive wood formation and checking
the wood growth, thus causing early
maturity. Then. may l ask, even If
some of these points do fail, isn't II
better to have earlier and better fruit,
or to have from two to eight tons of
alfalfa per acre beside the fruit. or
more likely both of these, without
extra ground?
So it behooves us to get the popu-
lar malady. Let us go alfalfa mad
The middle west has set the pace and
1t is only for us to follow and show
the world that Oregon can lead in this
as we'll as all other lines of agricul-
tural pursuits. All the leading farm
journals of the world are filling their
pages with its praise and the direc-
tons for its proper culture. 1t has
raised mortgages and lifted the bur-
den of debt from the shoulders Of
more poor. struggling men than any
other crop grown. Soon all this fair
domain will be verdant with its green
foliage and it's fragrant perfume will

The strained silence of the crowded

sobs of the boy slayer. Hoping
against hope, as the stern-faced jury
filed in, he simply wilted when the
fateful words were spoken. 1t was
the first real emotion he had shown
during the eight long days since his

row and his brother and sister was
pathetic. Neither of his parents

RAIL STRIKE ENDS;

FEDERAL MEDIATOR IS AGENT
Cancellation Board Member induces
Road to Yield When Workers
Stand Firm-system Para
lyzed for One Day.

Albany. N. Y, Jan. 2I.-The Della
ware & Hudson railway strike was
settle Monday night and 5000 men
who walked out Monday morning, ty-
ing up the entire system, We're ordered
back to work Company officials met
the unions demands that they restore
two discharged employees Engineer
James A. Lynch and Conductor f. A.
Slade-to their former positions.
G. w. w. Hanger, a member OF the
federal board Of mediation and cona
Citation, brought about the agreement.
A settlement was reached only after
Mr.. Hanger had suggested to the COM
pany officials that they yield to the de-
mands of the men. Arbitration, he de-
clared, was impossible. As soon as
Clifford s. Sims, vice president and
general manager Of the railway, and
union officials had signed the agree
ment orders were sent out for men to
report for work as quickly as possible.
Many crews that had been tied up at
terminal points were notified by tele-
graph to resume their runs without re-
porting here.
Slade and Lynch were discharged
more than year ago when car on
their train jumped the track and
bumped along the ties for three anC Q
half miles. The men were discharged
on the ground that they were negli-
gent and had violated a company rule
and caused much damage to property.
The union afficials replied that the &C.
cident was unavoidable and that no
serious damage was done. For sew
eral months the company and union
officials debated the proposition OF re-
storing the men to their places; then
a week ago SO per cent. of the en-
ployes voted to strike If Slade and
Lynch were not reinstated.
Early yesterday the first body OF
men walked out From then until
noon engineers, conductors, trainmen,
telegraph operators and towermen
gradually quit, as the safety of pas
sengers would permit. At noon it
was estimated that 5000 men were
OuL, dl1u Tic CiltilC SyStOiA1 VAS PNA"
lyzed. Shop workers and office en-
ployes alone remained on duty.
1t was less than two hours after the
last striker had left his work that Mr..
Hanger arrived here from New York
and began negotiations. Mr.. Sims
agreed Immediately to arbitration, but
the union officials declared it was USE
less to talk arbitration with them.
Within an hour Mr.. Hanger decided
arbitration was impossible, so he drew
up an agreement granting the de-
mands, obtained Mr.. Sims signature
and the strike was officially declared
off few minutes later.
No violence was reported as re.
suit of the strike. Several days will
be required, however, to straighten
out the mail, express and freight
which has accumulated here and at
other points along the lines.
