duced a splendid teamwork in the
Savages that has never been equalled
in the valley. The boys all play a
fine game, showing dashing often
sive and stonewall defense, and all
the time they are assisting each other
in each play.
The Savages go to Rocky Ford on
the 25th for the last game of the sea-
son. Only once this season has their
goal line been crossed and at no
other time has it been seriously in
danger Considering the records
made SO far there should be 10 doubt

ALFALFA SPELLS PROSPERITY
Farmers and Mill Owners Each Hav-
ing a Big Year Owing to Fine
Crop and Market Conditions

The Hartman alfalfa meal mill
broke all records the other day for
one days work in mills of that kind,
grinding up 290 tons in two shifts.
While this is the record, high runs
are being made every day not only at
that mill but at the other eight mills
of the county that are grinding for
the general market, besides numerous
smaller mills are grinding on various
farms for the owners own use. The
big alfalfa hay crop Of this season is
thus rapidly finding market, but all
several months yet. The railroad has
been unable to furnish cars fat
enough for this immense output and
all the warehouses are now full of the
product which is already sold far in
advance of the output even. The price
has raised until choice hay is now
bringing SO in the stack and many
farmers are wearing a corresponding
ly broad smile. With the exception of
the hay being held by the farmers who
will fatten stock for the winter mar
kets it is estimated that the entire
output Of the county is now almost
cleaned up, and that the mills will
soon have every surplus ton ground
into meal. This product is growing
so rapidly in favor with the eastern
feeders and dairymen that there seems
to be no limit to the market for it,
and as the Arkansas valley has proved
its superior advantages for raising
the crop it means great prosperity and
an advance in farm values for some
years to come.
One instance of the remarkable eff
fects of this industry is the case of
the farmers cooperative company in
the Big Bend. They erected a meal
mill of their own this summer and
put in the grinding machinery. They
contracted for hay and molasses
enough for the seasons run, but ow-
ing to the inability of the electric
company to get the necessary mater
ials for installing the power they have
DteH uldDle ds yet 10 run the mill.
Nevertheless the advance in the price
of the hay and molasses which they
had contracted for has more than paid
for their mill and machinery, and
leaves them with plant paid for and
dividends on its capital whether they
finally decide to sell out their contracts
or make a delayed seasons run.
So great has been the seasons run
that the companies, having filled all
their warehouses and all they could
rent, are now rather than close down
the mills buying tents to serve as
temporary warehouse until the rail-
roads can overcome the congestion
and furnish the cars to transport the
crop to market. Four companies are
now operating mills in this territory.
The Denver Alfalfa Milling and Pro-
ducts Co. with its five big mills is the
largest, and the Lamar Alfalfa Mill
ing Co. with its big mill in the heart
Of the rich May valley alfalfa farms
is second.
