A MINISTER'S VIEWS
bend, Oregon, Press.)


In Salem there is a minister of the
gospel, Rev. Richard F. fischer, who
takes an unusual view, for q minister
of the amusement of the young. He
has written a letter to The Capital
journal in which he says: eff
could have my way, as minister, |
would provide my church with a So
cial hall, a pool and billiard table for
both boys and girls, and with "A gym.
nasium for all indoor sports. !" lie con
tinues by saying ne would arrange,
under proper supervision, dlncing
parties and other gatherings where
the young could mingle and indulge
their natural tastes for social pleasures.
He pertinently asks why or wherein
dancing is any more immoral than
coasting or skating, and he thinks the
church and schools should provide the
proper avenues, places and times for
such education and enjoyment This
is, as we saw, an unusual yiew-for a
minister-but it is in line with the
more advanced thinkers the world over.
In spite of the opposition Of the church
dancing is still the most favored form
Of social amusement, and the church
has lost its hold upon thousands of
young people because Of its attitude to-
ward il. Dancing, in itself, cannot be
evil-it is only Objectionable where
there is lax supervision, The church.
which is really the parents, is probably
the most desirable organization to take
charge of the amusements Of the young
but if they refuse to do so, the young
may be excused should they take the
matter in their own hands.

Get RID OF HUMORS
AND AVOID DISEASE

Humors in the blood cause informal
arrangements that affect the whole
system, as well as pimples, boils and
other eruptions. They affect all the
organs and functions, membranes and
tissues, and are directly responsible
for the readiless with which some peo-
pie contract disease.
For forty years Hood s Sarsararilla
has been more successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors and
removing their inward and outward eff.
fects. It is distinguished for its thor
oughness in purifying the blood, whicn
it enriches and ilvigorates. No other
medicine acts like it, for no other med

acres, there are at present farmers
in Wisconsin who for ten years have
devoted 80 To 100 acres t0 alfalfa
One farmer near Waukesha has more
than 100 acres Of alfalfa, and another
near Monroe has more than Toe acres.
In no case should these facts infiu-
ence the inexperienced alfalfa grow
er to seed more than two or three
acres at the outset. A careful study
needs first to be made To determine
the adaptabtlity OF the soil and the
general farm conditions Tor the crop.
Large areas should never he seeded
until experience in growing and han
ding alfalfa has been gained.
Alfalfa is being grown most extern
sively in the southern and eastern por-
tions Of the state. These counties
stand foremost in acreage in the or
der named-Green, Jefferson, Wauke-
sha, Fond du Lac, Walworth, Racine
Kenosha and Calumet, The need and
demand for a crop like alfalfa is not
as great in upper Wisconsin as iii the
central and southern parts, where
clovers are more difficult to estab lish
Upon the new lands. especially in the
upper part Of the state, clover is so
easily established and yields such
abundant crops Of fine nutritious hay
that the Importance Of alfalfa is not
felt so keenly as in the older agricul-
tural sections Of the state. The alfalfa
plant does not seem to thrive as well
on the newer soils, which have not
been subdued by cultivation and crop
ping for a number Of years. How
ever, there is not a county in the state
where alfalfa is not being grown, and,
although the southern counties viii
continue to lead in alfalfa growing,
eventually this valuable plant will be
grown widely throughout the state.

ALFALFA A GOOD
WISCONSIN CROP

BY /. +. GRABER, Secretary of the
Alfalfa Order Of the Wisconsin Ag-
ricuitural Experiment Association.
Although alfalfa is now being grown
in every county Of the state of Wiscon-
sin, more farmers should raise this
crop, and many who now grow it
should increase their acreages.
No other forage combines so many
essentials of merit as does alfalfa. It
surpasses other crops in acre yield,
in feeding value and in it's beneficial
effect upon the soil.
Twenty years ago alfalfa was prac-
tically a stranger in Wisconsin, but it's
introduction and dissemination has
gone Oh at a rapid pace until it is
estimated that not less than $4,000
acres Of this great forage crop are
now grown in the state.
With an acre value nearly twice as
great as that Of clover or timothy, it
seems that Wisconsin farmers have
overlooked the value OF the alfalfa
crop. But $4,000 acres Of alfalfa were

grown within the state in 1909, as
compared with two and a half million
acres Of timothy and clover
The credit Of being the first man
in Wisconsin to recognize the value
of alfalfa belongs to ex-Gov. w. d.
Hoard, who for more than 20 years has
been growing the crop.
In 1904, 345 Of the 1900 members of
the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association were supplied with
enough alfalfa seed to plant half
acre. This was the first statewide
test to determine the possibilities OF
alfalfa growing within the state. In
this test there were no absolute fail
ures reported and but 20 per cent
Of the members failed to secure good
stands. This introduction Of alfalfa
throughout the state was an encour-
aging factor in the early promotion
of alfalfa growing. It was an impOr-
tant source Of information regarding
the proper method Of growing new
and valuable crop.
While at first alfalfa was grown only
