DAIRYIEG IN PESDEfTON CO.
BY DR.. f. E. Barton.

Dg DA' IL IL DtAA tOlis
The farm lands Of Pendleton county
vary from rolling to steep hillsides,
with some river and creek bottom
areas. The hill lands are naturally
adapted to grazing and to the produc-
ton Of hay, and poorly suited for
blowing on account Of washing badly;
but for many years the farmers per-
sisted in blowing and growing sue
cessive crops of tobacco, corn and
wheat and leaving the land bare in
winter until the surface soil was wash
ed away and the hard clay subsoil be-
came deeply quilted. Before these
reckless methods of farming were
checked nearly half of the hill lands
became unfit for tillage, would not
even grow grasses, and was actually
abandoned for agricultural purposes.
! AS the land deteriorated the people
became impoverished. Improvements
went to wreck and the people moved
away until the county lost a third OF
its population. Mortgages were fore
closed with severe losses to creditors,
and thousands of acres were sold for
taxes.
FOUNDATIONS FOR INDUSTRY.
About the time conditions were at
the worst and apparently adding
mockery to the ruin of once fertile
farming section, there came creeping
along the highways and spreading
over the abandoned hillsides a ''pestif-
erous weed" which it was said
would ''take the country" and ruin
what tilable land that was left In a
few years il was discovered, howev-
er, that this weed would stop the
washing of hill lands and even fill up
the gullies in short while; that it
would restore and enrichen the old
fields so they would grow crops again.
1t also furnished pasture for horses,
sheep, hogs and especially cows, in
creasing the flow of milk over any
other grazing there was in the coun-
ty. II was next tried for hay and
proved satisfactory, and from then on
sweet clover was no longer despised,
but welcomed, even if by ancestry it
were weed. Following sweet Glow
err, alfalfa could be grown successful
ly and in a few years large acreage
of this forage plant was sown. Forty
miles north of the county seat lay
Cincinnati with its surrounding cities;
representing a population of over half
a million people TO be supplied with
milk, cream and butter. There was
the market, and on the hills Of PEN
dleton grew the succulent sweet Glow
err and alfalfa to provide feed for the
COWS. The next need was cows, and
these were shipped in by car loads
from the dairy herds of northern
states and sold to the farmers-some
buying only one or two cows, while
others bought enough at once to start
a fair-sized dairy. On account of the
large demand for whole milk, the Hol-
stein gradually grew in favor, al
though the milking Shorthorns and
Jerseys are numerous. For the last |
few years the dairymen are raising
their own cows, and several good |
animals are to be found in !

patch from Madrid last night said that
Official announcement had been made
there that German troops in the KAN
erun. retreating before the victorious
British forces. had crossed the border
into Spanish Guinea. where they were
TO be interned.
\ later message from the Madrid
correspondent OF the Havas Agency
said that the Spanish minister OF war
n marine. on being questioned con
corning this announcement declared
they had received no news that Ger
man troops had actually penetrated
spanish territory. In any event they
said. British troops would not pur-
sue them across the border.

East Africa. Official British reports
chronicles several victories over he
Germans. who al the last accounts
