Valdez is anything but slightly place to those who up town from the steamers when they pass through. Later, it is true, town in Alaska is attractive than Val dez but for two months n the Spring she is anything but beautiful. Much of this nsiyltncss cannot be helped but considerable portion of the rubbish which fouls the streets can be kept off with reaso1- be care.
 It is little trouble t, burn the swecpngs that brushed daily out onto the street. and yet this trouble taken would make material difference iii the appearance of tine town in the Spring. and also make for healthier town. Ashes sometimes diff ticult to dispose of but there is never any good eN c1lse for dumping them in the street.

 The reports state that the outlaw chief died following an operation for the removal of his wounded leg, which was injured during a brush with the Mexican troops some time ago. Prior reports had been received by Pershing that Villa was in bad condition from the wound, as blood poisoning had set in and it was be- lieved an operation would be neces- sary. The news of his death from the operation following the earlier re- port, is believed to give credence to the latter report.

Seeding Alfalfa Into
The Corn Patch

The seeding of alfalfa into corn
is becoming increasingly common
in South Dakota. 1t has been done
successfully not only here but else
where and the practice is gaining
favor rather than otherwise.
It has long been suggested that
the seeding of alfalfa in the early
spring with thin nurse crop of
early oats usually results in a stand
of alfalfa without missing a crop
for the year in which the alfalfa is
sown. This same advantage also
results when the alfalfa is put
into standing corn, say in the
middle of August. The method
of seeding alfalfa in corn has the
additional advantage that it misses
the early weeds. The early weeds,
namely, those weed pests which
start in the early part of the season
are especially harmful. to alfalfa.
Only few comparatively harmless
species of weeds make start as
late as August. Consequently, SO
far as weed competition is con-
cerned, there is great advantage
in seeding alfalfa late.
If you keep your corn clean this
summer, the corn ground will
probably be in excellent shape for
an alfalfa seed bed in August, then
you can seed alfalfa right into the
sanding corn at the usual rate OF
eight pounds per acre. 1t is pos
sible to seed it broadcast and har-
row it in with one-horse cult
vator, or perhaps better still seed
it in with one horse alfalfa seeder
made for the purpose. Such
machines are now being put Oh the
market according to reports.
There is one obvious objection
