en-, I. r. Smoot, Archie Thompson,
and Photographer A. M. Black, who
made a number Of fine pictures, and
others, made visit on yesterday
afternoon to the alfalfa farm of H. S.
Bowen, near Wittens Mills. The object
OF the visit was TO see, at first hand,
the growth and putting up of this
the first, and only field of alfalfa, in
the county. What the party saw was
a surprise to some, and q confirma-
tion to others and demonstration to
all of them. Mr.. Bowen has cut and
now in stack and shock, 20 acres of
fine alfalfa hay. That it can be sue
cessfully grown in Tazewell, as few
persons have insisted for years, is no
longer matter of doubt. Neither is
there any question that it is a money
making crop. The doubling Thomases
are becoming fewer in number every
year. Those of this party who still
doubt, refuse to believe their own
