crops with success would be imossi-
BILE. Mr.. Imbach says in this case it
was sown somewhat on reputation and
is largely experimental this year.
However, it has shown wonderful
results. The first cutting was heavy,
and the second crop, of which the
exhit ! mentioned is sample is as
good or better. the stalks being heavy,
well-tilled with seed and measuring
up to nine feet IN height. Another
good crop will be cut at frost time.

to seven tons per acre for the sea.

age for livestock in general, and Mr..
Imbaeh has found it good for horses,
mules and ponies, which has been the
limit of his experience this year.
Besides the new grass cropped on
the orchard farms red clover five feet
high is on exhibition, and the acreage
yield was very heavy. Record oats
crop is also part of the proceeds of
the effort in farming this season. The
Swedish variety, imported seed was
sown, and it ranged up to six feet

MERCHANTS ASKED
TO CLOSE EARLY

At a special meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the George Steph-
ems campaign at the close of the
meeting last night a resolution was
unanimously passed petitioning the
merchants of the city to close their
places of business at 7 o'clock dur
ing this campaign Also urging the
public to do their buying early to
make such closing possible. This
petition is the wish not only of the
executive committee but has been
earnestly requested by many of the
merchants and clerks who are anx-
ious to attend the meetings.
A campaign such as we are now
engaged in comes only once in a
generation, and we feel that the pub
lie spirit of the purchasing public as
well as the merchants of the city will
cooperate in every way in a move
ment that has as it's objective the
moral and spiritual uplift of the city.
This petition does not include Satur-
day evenings.
