Alfalfa Not An Expensive Crop To
start.

II u true. however, that even q
shortlived field Of alfalfa pays better
when properly handled. than q field
In any other hay crop. The average
yield being . to tons per acre and
8 to . tons are not infrequent. The
feeding value Is practically equal to
that OF bran.
The most common mistake made 10
the enormous expense incurred In get
ting land ready for alfalfa II there
was an assurance OF getting a ield
lasting 10 or Is years this would be
justified. but the chances OF getting
such long-lived field are not great
enough to Justify extraordinary high
expenditures. Moreover. this is not
necessary. Outside Of little extra
cost Of seed the expense Of starting q
field OF alfalfa need not be much be.
You'd that OF seeding teld OF ordinary
clover and timothy In the fall by them
selyes--not with wheat.
on q well managed farm II would
be q simple matter to leave out the
timothy in seeding wheat and seed
TO alfalfa the next fall after the land
has been well prepared. well lined
and inoculated. II Is an equally sim
pie matter to follow alfalfa after early
potatoes. To charge the expense Of
lining against alfalfa Is not altogether
fair, Every farm needs an application
OF lime every few years. Then why
not lime the field about the time Il Ii
ready TO be seeded TO alfalfa. The
extra expense Of inoculating can b.
eliminated by seeding with clover,
or s pounds Of alfalfa per acre. Thi,
win bring forth enough alfalfa plants
over the field to inoculats the land IN
Q year or two.

GET READY FOR MARYLAND
WEEK.

At the recent meeting OF the Exec
utlve Committee Of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Society and afiiliatsd organ,
isations, Il was decided to hold the
Maryland Week Exhibition this year
from November II to Is. II is urged
by the committee that local oranges
and farmers clubs begin to plan At
once for exhibits TO the state show.
II points out that members Of such
organizations have been In the past
among the most active supporters OF
the show. With the passing years this
competition has grown steadily keen
or and those organisations or individ
uals that win iaursls Il this years
show should be hard at work plan,
ming for their part In the big affair.
There Ia no better way for the local
grange or club tor place itself and It's
neighborhood on the map than by win
ming high place In the club exhibit
class. The members who Immediately
after harvest turn their earnest at
tention TO planning such an. exhibit
are laying the foundation for fruit
full career as the most useful organisa'
ton Of their community. Neither
should they attempt such an exhibit
without iirst holding local show for
the benefit OF their own neighhorhood
In this work the help OF the County
Demonstration Agent will be found Of
the greatest help. There Is no work
In which he Is more anxious to sue.

and pride in agricultural production.

mind you, $1,727 was returned be-
fore any demand had been made upon

mand wea made he returned $2,470.3S.
Examination By experts showed that
from all the books available there
we're shortages of from $4,000 to 49,

$4,000 demanding explanation.

q man who, after holding public office
for seven years, does not know
whether the territory owes him more
than $4,f00 or whether he owes the
territory o than $4,100, is so care
less, inefficient, incompetent or dis
honest that he has no right to aspire

The foregoing statement by Sena-
tor A.. b. Fall of New Mexico appears
in a story Oh the senatorial situation
appearing in the New York Tribune
Of Thursday, October s.
This frank admission of the des-
perate straits in which the Republi-
cans find themselves in New Mexico
in the attempt to put over their weak
est candidate, Frank A. Hubbell, has
caused much enthusiasm among the
Democrats.
It is a tacit admission by Senator
Fall of the weakness Of Mr.. Hubbell,
a weakness which was well known by
the rank and file of the party when
Hubbell forced himself on the ticket.
1t agrees with the frank admission by
leading Republicans all over New
Mexico that Hubbell is completely
lost right now and that from now un-
til election day it is merely a ques-
ton of how far A. A. Jones majority
will climb. The statement by Cover
nor Mcdonald in his speech yesterday
that "Hubbell will not last two min
utes alongside A. A. Jones'" in the
mind Of the voter sums up the general
feeling throughout the state.
THE only trading Zone so far by
Democrats in the state is trading anti
Hubbell votes for Jones votes. The
claim by Senator Fall that Democrats
are willing to vote FIR Bursum in or
der to get votes for Jones and Wilson
is SO absurd On the face Of it that
it has caused much amusemtnt.
Fall has given up Hubbell. His
statement sounds s%uspiciously like he
had about given up the rest of the
ticket.

(Extract From Referee safFord's
Report.)
Concerning the books OF ac-
counts this former report charg-
ed that valuable records had been
destroyed or were not available,
and on the other hand | found ali
books Of original entry and from
these the financial transactions
of the penitentiary under the SUI
perintendency Of II. o. Butsum
can be readily traced. The only
record missing and which IN no
sense was a book Of original on.
try, is an old Individual ledger,
used in keeping accounts Of per-
sons buying material from the
penitentiary, and the balances
from which on all supposed live
accounts, were transferred to a
new ledger.
The absence of this book was
not material as, having the books
of original entry, the journal and
impression books invoice and
voucher), although this work con.
sumed considerable time, 1t has
been easily reproduced. The re-
written cash book mentioned III
the report referred to was not.
copied from any cash book kept
by the penitentiary. A cash book
was never kept, simply a journal
in which cash transactions were
entered as well as other items.
This so-called rewritten cash
book made up a few weeks before
the retirement of H. o. Bursum
as superintendent, was an at
tempted statement as to the cash
transactions Of the ~penitentiary
for the period of his service. The
statement was made for the in
formation Of the board OF commits
sioners; was in no sense a book
of original entry and would have
no value whatever except for ref
erence, even If it had been cor
recently transcribed, which 1t was
not, many entries having been
omitted on both debit and credit
sides. This book should have
had no place whatever in the ex-
animation above referred to ex-
cept as a guide or a check and
this fact should have been recog-
nized by the party who made the
audit. That it was so recognized
by him is shown by his repeated
complaints that the book was not
In original entry and was mac
curate, vet, strange to say. these
very inaccuracies were made the
basis of charges of shortages.
