the land for alfalfa. In Jefferson
County l have seen eight tons per
acre taken in four cuttings and it is
done without affecting the stand.
Take, for instance, field that is
producing six tons of alfalfa per year,
which is worth $40, this makes $120
taken from the land without cultiva-
tion and seeding, and thus avoiding
these expenses, and yet producing
more net income than most other
crops A good crop of wheat is 80
bushels to the acre, at 81 per bushel,
the net income is $50. A good crop
Of corn is rs bushels per acre at 75c
per bushel, net income $56.25 per
acre. A good crop of clover is two
tons per acre, say SIT per ton, $34 in
come. A good crop of timothy is
about the same amount. So you see
alfalfa is one of the best cash crops
that a farmer could raise. But it
should never be turned into cash, but
fed on the place, by all means. A
farmer is committing land suicide if
he ever sells clover or alfalfa. He
should feed 1t and market it to his
cattle and the residue will so back to
the land in the form of manure.
What place has alfalfa in our per-
manent agriculture? l claim it should
have the very first place. The
elements of lime and phosphate
must be supplied in order to grow
alfalfa successfully, but in doing so
We are putting into the soil elements
that all crops require. Therefore, in
growing a field of alfalfa we are fit
ting the land for all or any following
crop, because the alfalfa adds the
nitrogen.
1t means permanent Improvement
OF our soil, putting back the natural
elements that man has ruthlessly and
selfishly robbed our lands of. Al
falfa is not a lazy mans crop. 1t

takes hard work, intelligent applica-
tion and its costs some money, too,
but it means an investment safer than
National bank, and it will pay big
dividends for years to come, because
the lime and phosphates that you put
there to grow alfalfa and the nitrogen
that alfalfa deposits in the land will
make your land rich, besides having
had the harvesting of tons and tons
of fine hay for feeding. Alfalfa loves
deep, rich loan and plenty of man
ure. 1t reminds ME of the little
verse written by an Ohio Experiment
Station worker:
Lime and lime without manure
Makes the farm and farmer poor,
But lime, manure and vigorous clover
Make the old farm rich all over.
In growing alfalfa We are incul-
eating more intelligence in ourselves,
making better farmers, better men
and boys.

Denver Eats Butter,

One creamery in Denver uses 10,-
600 gallons of cream daily, . More
than half or this amount is shipped
in from Kansas, Nebraska and other
adjoining states. Sixty-five cents a
gallon is paid. So this one concern
alone pays more than $1,000,000 an
nually for cream from outside of
Colorado. This creamery manufac-
lures $4,000 pounds Of butter daily,
which at the retail price of 35 cents
amounts to $3.50 a day or more
than $2,50O,000 year. This means
that Denver folks eat some butter.
OF course the entire amount is not
consumed in Denver, but then it must
be remembered that these figures
apply to but one creamery and there
are a dozen others right In the town,
to say nothing of the bull butter and
process factories.

Only Fair Basis

We consider profit margin on a tire the
only fair price basis. We keep that margin
lust as low as our line allows.
While we do that, Goodyear tires will al
ways undersell any tires that compare with
them That is because we have the largest
output. We have a new factory. modernly
equipped. And we have worldwide facilities
for buying rubber, Of our extra grade, at the
lowest market price.
For long, long time most tires have sold
much above Goodyear prices. Some have
sold one-,hird higher. A few havesold lower,
as some always will. because Of less rubber,
less quality. But we can and do, under all
conditions, give more for the money than
any rival tire can offer.

know one dairy farmer who raised
eight tons per acre of alfalfa, and
previous to sowing it he fed ensilage
and cottonseed meal and clover hay,
and then one day he decided that it
was useless to buy concentrates at all

and obtained exactly the same result

New York to Have
 The Longest Pier

NEW YORK.-New York is to have the longest pier in the world. It will cost s63S,OOO and will extend 1779 feet into the New York bay from the South Brooklyn shore. Two other piers were authorized by the Sinking Fund Commission. the three to cost nearly $1,300,000
 These great piers are designed to keep pace with the growth of ship ping said Dock Commissioner Smith. The longest of the three will accommodate four of the largest transatlantic liners at once. 1 do not believe that the size of ships will beat the standard We have set at least not for some years
 Commissioner Smith said the au- thorization of these piers would en- able him to retain two hundred men he had expected to lay off. Many other men will have to be taken on as well. he said.
 The two smaller piers will cost S225.000 and $400,000 respectively When completed they will be leased to the highest bidder.

Sourdough to Put Bride In Convent Yukon Pioneer Has Southern Romance

Los Angeles Examiner.-A bride of 21, whO after brief honeymoon, will be secluded in a convent, was brought to Los Angeles yesterday by her wealthy 60-year-old bride groom, after a quiet wedding which ended courtship combining the ele- ments of snowbound Alaska and sunshine-covered Southern California
 For it was out of Alaska that Cariste Racine, the husband, hardy old Klondiker of three-score years came to win a bride of scarcely 2 third his age
 But what difference do forty years make to love?
 Not so much as the difference be- tween Los Angeles and the Yukon declared both the adoring groom and the bride, who until o'clocl; yesterday afternoon was Miss Frieda Weertz.
 ROMANCE EXPLAINED.
 But this isn't telling the romance of frozen north and sunny south.
 Racine came out of the north with as much spirit as that of young Lochinvar when he came out of the west.
 He went to Whittier, where he las a winter home, and it was in that neighboring city that he met and loved Miss Weertz.
 For eight months she listened in rapt attention to the tales told by Racine.
 He began in the beginning. te1i- ing how he was born near St. Louis Mo, more than sixty years ago, and how in early life he left his home to seek a fortune in the then un, travelled wastes of Manitoba and Alaska.

SALEM, Ore.-The women of the state. in addition to having the right to vote and hold public office, have another important right, according to an opinion of Attorney-General Brown today. It is the right 10 de cline to take their husbands names.
 Miss Miriam Sheldon, of The Dalles, elicited the opinion from the states legal lore fountain. Her ques- tions epitomized were as follows:
 IS there a law against a woman retaining her maiden name after mar riage if she has profession and makes her own living, owns ranch besides and the husband only lives on the ranch and otherwise supports himself?
 If sine married would it be pos sible for her to prove up under her own name?"
 The attorney said he could not find a law compelling a ' and that an examination of deci- sions relating to public lands by the Interior Department disclosed no case in which married woman had attempted to complete a home stead under her maiden name. He said that an unmarried woman who entered upon public land with the intention of appropriating it would not on account of her marriage for felt her right to make entry, pro- yiding the husband was not claim ing second tract at the time of marriage. The law provides that the residence of a woman must be that of her husband and the husband must live on her homestead to fulfill her residence requirement..
