While we are talking about con-
servation of national resources, why
not include in the program the con-
servation of human life? The
deaths from preventable diseases and
preventable accidents in the United
States, easily exceed one half mil
lion annually. Ii human life is
worth only five. thousand dollars,
which is the minimum assessed for
its negligent destruction, we are
wasting two and and one-half bill
lion dollars worth Of our vital assets
every year.
This question concerns the rural
resident, first because he provides
the majority of the victims and,
second because there is no organ
lied or concerted effort to protect
him. Cities have boards of health
and sanitary regulations. Their
water supplies are guarded from
pollution, their meat and milk are
inspected and the latter often
sterilized; ordinances abound to
keep public assembly rooms and
public conveyances sanitary. Seat
tie spends ninety-eight cents per
capita for the purpose of health
preservation of its citizens. Mem
phis spends ninety-three cents,
Pittsburg sixty-one and New York
fifty-eight, which means that over
two million dollars are spent in our
largest city every year for the
sanitary security of it's human in.

handling some of the difficulties
that happen in business life.
Meeting an issue squarely is the
quickest way to get through with
it and a sense of satisfaction will

the effort expended.
The giving of charity generally
comes from those who can least

Men have been sloughing their
responsibilities ever since the days
of Adam. It is feared that they
will keep it up till the end of time.
Before the primaries came all the
deviltry of politics was charged up
to the machines and the bosses.
Now it is charged up to the pri-
mary.
In the olden days it was always
possible for the voters to get out
and smash the machines and the
bosses. 1t was not done because
the voters, in most cases, were too
lazy, or too Indifferent to attend to
their public duties.
Things go wrong now under the
primary system for the same rea'
sons. Voters are too lazy, or toe
Indifferent to take advantage Of
the primary. Wrongs, blunders
and bad conditions are charged w
to the primary when the fault lies
wholly with the voters.

bushels per acre, which is a large and
satisfactory yield az bushels of corn

per bushel, bring $2S.S0.
The same soil and season which will
produce two tons of corn per acre,
will produce five or six tons of alfalfa,
which at SIS per ton will return not
less than $75 per acre, and that, too,
with much less labor.
In an experiment in Illinois equal
areas were in corn and alfalfa. The
proceeds from the alfalfa crop were
over three times those from the corn.
Comparing the amount of plant food
removed by the alfalfa and the corn,
we find a ton of alfalfa removes 50
pounds of nitrogen, four pounds phos-
phorus, and "a pounds potassium,
worth at market price, exclusive of
the nitrogen, 1892. (The nitrogen is
not taken into account because the
alfalfa can get it's supply directly from
the air, through the bacteria on its
roots)
A ton of corn, equal to 35 81 BUSH
els, contains 35 81 pounds of nitro
gen, GA pounds of phosphorus and
lila pounds of potassium, worth at
the market value $637. The nitro
gen in the corn must be considered
since this plant does not, and cannot,
secure a supply of this element except
through the SOIL A crop of corn,
therefore, depletes the soil of this ele-
ment.
For a 72-bushel crop of corn the
value of the plant food removed will
be $12.74, and for a five-ton crop of
alfalfa, the value of the elements TAX

PLAN RAISING ALFALFA
Two Questions Which Must Be
Answered in Affirmative.
Failure 70 lnoeulate the Soil Is But
an Invitation to Disappointment
Value Of Ton Of Hay Estl-
mated at S25.
CBy A. N. ABBoTTO


Before the average farmer will
change his farm methods and try
raising alfalfa, there are two ques-
lions which must be answered in the
affirmative-First, is 1t practical?
Second, is it profitable?
The answer to the first is that all
soils which will produce red clover
will produce alfalfa, and such soils,
which by reason of their sandy or
gravelly character, are not well
adapted to red clover, will produce al
falfa prohtably.
There is a smaller percentage of
failures from alfalfa properly sown
than from the red clover usually sown.
The seed bed should be finely pre-
pared, and it should be remembered
that failure to inoculate the soil is but
an invitation to disappointment.
The second question-as to the
value of alfalfa-is an interesting one,
particularly when compared with the

THIS is THE STORY OF A
FAILURE.
War correspondents, when tho
exigencies of war withhold their
messages from the impatient
Dworld and the much more Inn
patient editor, write picturesque
stories of how they failed-and
get away with 1t.
No war correspondent was
ever more absolutely muf-
fled, silenced, bottled up,
than l was when 1 tried to
get the news from the great
r. event on Yelm prairie to The
Times yesterday afternoon.
The great event was the OPEN
ing of the initial unit of the
Yelm Irrigation Project, which
brings the waters of the Nisqually
river to 5000 acres of prairie
land which much need the same.
The farmers own the project
themselves, from the intake four
miles from La Grande to the little
laterals which carry the water out
Son the fields.
There are IA miles of ditch
5000 feet of flume, and a siphon
to carry the water under the rail-
road. 1t has cost them five years
and a half of hard work, and
100000, and they believe 1t will
make Yelm and its neighborhood
"A rich agricultural district.

about 1t.
So they invited everybody 10
