Al l|FALFA DAY
FOR WARREN
INVITED FOR AUTO
TRIP TO ALFALFA FIELDS
FRIDAY, JUNE Ali
(By O. Neraal)

'he alfalfa plant has Dsen found
to grow luxuriantly here for the last
ten years or more, both in fields and
along the roadsides and that without
much coaxing whatsoever. 1t was
seeded and it grew and that is about
the way that most Of the fields that
we now have took root. Last year
saw more alfalfa planted than any
year previous. The promotion came
about largely in obedience to a Wgor-
Gus campaign carried on by the Uni
versity Of our state and the high
schools cooperating. Extension
workers were sent out, northern
grown seed was secured for farmers,
and literature on the subject was dis
tributed as widely as possible A
number of fields in this vicinity were
planted to alfalfa last year and have
come thru the rigor of the winter all
right. Some of the fields are not as
thick as they should be but there are
others again that can show a good
stand. Some failed while others have
had success with this crop; let us find
out why.
I think we have conceived Of a plan
whereby this may be possible. The
idea is to make an auto tour, visiting
the alfalfa fields in this vicinity tax
ing in a radius Of about five or six
miles. The business men of War
rem have responded very generously,
as they always do, and have promised
to furnish about Is autos for this
trip, and what is better still, Mr.. and
Mrs. Morkassel have promised to en-
tertain the crowd at noon. I know
this will be treat so don't miss it.
Speakers have been promised from
the University and Crookston both, 81
I feel sure that we will profit by com
ing out that. day and take part in the
enjoyments.
The farmers who have autos them
selves are asked to come and take
their neighbc bcrs with them. Those
who have. no. auto should phone o1
1 write IN to O. Neraal, stating thai
tyou would like to go along on this
trip to the alfalfa fields, and an au
to will be secured for you.--@.zLet us
know before June End, so that we car
make arrangements for you.
! The auto train will leave Warre1
at 10 o'clock a. M, June 4th, 1915 an;
will return in the evening.

BIG MONEY IN RAISING SHEEP.

R. w. Aylor of Grandin farm on
the Dakota side of the Red River val
ley, west of Halstad, has demonstrat
ed that good profits can be realized
from fattening lambs. Last week he
sold 233 that he bought in January
as feeders. They averaged SIS pounds
and he paid $50 per hundred. When
he sold them they averaged ~ pounds
in weight and he received $3.50 per
hundred. Before selling he sheared
them and sold the wool at good
price. The gross. profits. were around
$3.50 on the lot. Not so bad for a

BOOSTERS TO MEET 8. &: 4
AT. HALLOCK
A Visit to the Famous Walter. Hill
Farm One of the Features.

The program for the second an
nual meeting Of the Minnesota Red
River Valley Development Associa-
tion to be! held at Hallock, June 16
and IL is being rapidly rounded into
shape and will be ready in the near
future.
The gathering will be held in
monster alfalfa Wigwam'' with "a
capacity of close to 5000 and upon
this feature the people of Hallock,
are already at work. At big mass
meeting of the citizens of Hallock,
committees were named and every
detail of the big convention will be
taken care Of with that thoroughness
for which the famous ''Kittson Coun-
ty Alfalfa Squad is famous.
| The famous Walter J. Hill farm To-
Gated at Northcote four miles north
of Hallock will be one Of the places
of special interest. The monster
twin cement silos with a capacity Of
300 tons are the largest in the
world and the same is true of the
steel and concrete feeding barn with
500 stanchions. On this farm also
can be seen a field containing over
1900 acres of alfalfa, the largest to
be found anywhere in the northwest
and probably the largest in the Uni
ted States. Alfalfa measured at Hal
lock this week showed a growth of
over twenty inches and the alfalfa
fields alone will be a sight worth see
ing.
The program the first day will be
devoted to dairying and livestock
under the auspices of the Red River
Valley Live Stock Breeders Assn
and the best authorities on dairy and
beef cattle not only in the state, but
in the United States will be present
The second day will be devoted to q
general program devoted to agri-
culture, cooperation, varied farm
problems, development Of the right
community spirit and the promotion
Of more congenial living conditions
on the farm, and on this day there
will be a monster conference of farm
ers' clubs from the ten counties in tht
association.

the WaVerly family have gotten their

do hope you can come home very
soon.

and he said that when he left you
were expecting to be home before
this. suppose some other COM
picatiOns have aTisOn and that you
will be with me as soon as possible.
I want you, dear, all myself, but
I also want you to straighten out
things over at your mothers.
l know how you hate fuss and a
turmoil doesn't any man run rather
than to get into a family row?) but
it seems to me that only you can
straighten things out at home. While
l think, dear, that you did the very
best possible thing in putting Mary
in the bookship, it is going to make
lot of trouble before you can con-
vince your mother and Jack that it
is right.
Your mother is chatting because
she thought she could have money

Straighten things out she is going

sure it is not right for all of us to be
at swords points just because we
cannot allow one bigoted old woman
to run our entire affairs. You know
1 am not saying this in anger or in
anything but the kindest feelings to-
ward your mother, but she has al
ready made all of US very unhappy.

as soon as you can.
Without Dads restraining hand
the expenses in the old house will be
so large that the profits of the book
shop cannot take care of them.
Already your mother has spent the
hundred and fifty dollars appOrtioned
her monthly for new mourning
gowns, Aunt Mary says.
You see, she has no idea of the
value Of money. 1 think if she and
MOllie could rent the home furnished
and board somewhere, perhaps mod
estly furnishing their own rooms, you
could get at a better basis of ex-
penses.
Your mother is very much incensed
at Mary, and think, Dick, you will
have to tell her that it was at your
instigation that Mary was made CO.
trustee with you.
Mary is doing wonderful well. I
think the shop was never so pros
porous: Sh is very anxious to add
to the ''Old book" section. It seems
that she knows something Of the
value Of first. editions, ETC., and she
says that is where the money is made.
You can talk this over when you
get home, but think, my dear, it is
hardly fair for Mary to work as hard
as she does for people who do not
appreciate her in any particular. Jack
is positively unkind to her. 1 can
not understand how two brothers can
be so different from each other.
And here you have been gone from
me six weeks and I have not had
one letter from you. All the news
that 1 have had is when I have called
up the Office. 1 have not done this
very often, Dick, dear, for it has hurt
my pride to let your stenographer
know that I have not heard from you.
Aren't you sometimes a little
afraid that I'll get used to your alb
sence. Wives have been known to ,
forget, as well as husbands, you

BY H. M. Egbert
VanderhUizen, the big Dutchman,
stepped aboard the down-cOuntry
train from Kimberley, South Africa,
en- route for Cape Town. He laid his
suit case carelessly upon the rack,
placed his hand upon his breast to
make sure that the package for which
be had risked many years of free
dom was there and sat down in a
seat, looking out at the desert land
scape.
At BOshOf a stranger came into the
train, looked keenly about him. Van

named James, from Kimberley also;
he had once been a mine guard but
had been dismissed for some dishOn-
esty. He had contrived in some way
to avoid the clutches of the law, al
ways severe on buyers of diamonds
from the native quaTTymen.
VanderhUizen nodded surlily. James
was the last person in the world that
he wanted to see just then.
James smiled sardOnicaIly. Come

Vanderhuizen uttered an oath and
his hand stole in a betraying manner
to the package inside his coat. He
saw James eyes follow the move

trapped. Sullenly he arose and ac-
cOmpanied him.

Explosives In Road Building

One of the newer methods of road
building that is fast winning the in
dorsement of the better versed contrac-
tor is that of employing dynamite for
reducing the heavy work.
Grading through hard ground or rock,
for instance, is tedious and requires
time and labor. The use of dynamite
for blasting such material is a welcome
relief. Both rock and hard clay may

In loosening shale and, rock to facili-
tate hand or steam shovel work dyna-
mite is also very effective, while stumps
may be blasted from the roadbed just
as though they were being removed
from field to be cleared and cultivated.
Boulders also are easily shattered by
suitable loading and when of hard rock
may be crushed into surfacing stone.
The side bitches as well as the long
outfall bitches can also be blasted In
keeping with the nature of the ground.
In fact, there are no limits practically
to the many uses and advantages of
dynamite for road building when care
full and thoughtful attention is given
to the work
incidentally the planting of shade
trees for roadside improvement and at
tractiveness is greatly facilitated by
the judicious use of little dynamite.
1t is a recognized fact that trees plant
ed In blasted holes grow much more
rapidly and progress more favorably
than those planted in the average spade
dug ground.

STEAMER CASTLE ON CRUISE.
Will Inspect Fish Net Stakes in
River and Bay,

To look over the location of trap net
stakes in the mouth Of the Potomac and
along the western shore of Chesapeake
bay to the Rappahannock river, the
United States Army engineer service
steamer Castle is on a chruise that will
keep her away from this city until
probably the latter part of this week.
! Recently, it is stated, one of the light
house service steamers located buoys
about the fishing grounds showing the
| line out to which nets can be placed to
leave the channel open to navigation.
| 1t is stated the engineer officials
aboard the Castle are to see that nets
are being kept within bounds. For
several years it has been charged that
fishermen operating nets in the mouth
of the Potomac have been placing them
in navigable waters, so that the shad
and herring could not get to the spawn
ing grounds in the spring. 1t is charged
that to this is largely due the great de-
crease in the catch of the fish in the
Potomac and their threatened extermi-
nation. Next spring, it is said, nets viii
be kept back. SO as to allow the fish
working up the river in deep water tt

could remove his shoes Other portions
of his body were affected before he
could leave the room. Damage to the
house and contents amounted to $3.50.
