MAKING ANALYSES
OF ALFALFA

Owing to diversity of opinion eX-
listing among farmers OF Nevada and
farmers of other states and also
among dairy and other agricultural
experts. regarding the feeding quail.
tiles of first, second and third crops
OF alfalfa, Prof. c. A. Jacobsen, re.
search chemist of the department of
agriculture at the University of Ne
vada has started 4 series OF tests on
the various crops TO determine their
food value, says the Fallon Eagle.
Several weeks were spent in visit.
ing farming communities in tie state
and securing samples raised under
different soil conditions.
According to Dr. Jacobsen, the
farmers of Nevada with one eXcep.
ton claim that first and third cror.
of alfalfa hay make the best feed
and the second crop, owing to the
coarseness of the stems, is not GOOD
feed and is not relished by cattle or
horses.
Dr. Jacobsen will conduct his eX.
periments along chemical lines, TO
determine the constituents and food
value OF the various cuttings and
those results will be compared with
feeding tests being conducted by the
extension division of the university
under the direction of c. \. Norcross
and Prof. V. L. Scott.
Between so AMI 60 samples of al
falfa hay gathered i'll the Fallon dis.
trict, in Carson Valley, Washoe val.
ley and Mason valley will be tested
Feeding experiments conducted a
few months ago at the Utah expert
ment station on the feeding value OF
the different cuttings gave negative
results and according to the report
no difference could be noted in
either the food value or the desira'
bility of the various crops.
1t is expected that the work will
take several months to complete but
when finished and compared with
feeding tests being carried on daily
i'll various parts of the state, the re-
suits will be of great value TO cattle
men and farmers.

BY Pac. and Int't News Service.

ATHENS, Dec. 2O.-Yesterday was
election day in Greece. and the ques-
tion as to whether Greece would par
ticipate in the war on the side OF the
allies, or whether she would remain
neutral was at stake.
Venizelos was the leader OF those
who favored the allies, and he advised
his followers to stay at home, as he
knew that with the government ma
chinery against him, there was little
chance for fair play. The soldiers who
are in the field were not allowed to
vote.
When counted the vote was very
light, and showed that the neutral pol
icy was favored, as 1t was supposed
would be the outcome.

DR.. A. w. Hendrick,
President, University Of Nevada,
Reno. Nevada.
Ny dear DR.. Hendricks
Under the law am at the present
time, as Senator from the state of
Nevada, entitled to make two appoint
ments to the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and one ap-
pointment to the United States Mill
tary Academy at West Point.
These positions should have been
filled by me many months ago, and
as you are aware. l made every at
tempt to accomplish such action. At
my suggestion a competitive exami-
nation was held at the university for
the purpose of selecting candidates
who would take the entrance examina-
tions to such academies. Unfortunate.
ly. the candidates selected by such
competitive examinations failed to
pass the government examination held
to qualify candidates for such appoint
ments.
l am inclined to believe that such
failures are due to the fact that the
qualifications required are not realiz-
ed by the prospective candidates, and
young men who are really too young,
although within the statutory limit, and
men who have not had the sufficient
educational training seek such ap.
pointments. To me it is Incompetent
sible that any young man with sufti-
Client education who has ambition for
learning would neglect SO great an op-
portunity. Both academies stand in
the first rank OF institutions of learn
ing, and whether the student had the
purpose OF devoting his life to the
army or navy or not, the free educa-
tional advantages would appear an in
ducement under the very best possible
environments and without expense to
himself.
The change OF world conditions
makes 1t necessary that this govern.
ment prepare to defend its institutions
and policies, and an increased number
OF officers will be required both for
the navy and the army. We would
have cause to feel deeply mortified

Ing to furnish its quota. We not on

trust that the university will assist
In stimulating such patriotic senti-
ments.
The regular government examina-
tion will take place on February 18th,
