Park Lusk, who was recently pro-

for advancement in six weeks service

D.. B. Ripley, whose ranch home is
three and a half miles southeast of
Arbon, has about 40 acres of dry land
alfalfa, seeded in 1913, which regular

stockyard show that the tonnage har-
vested is heavy. Last winter during
the hay shortage this rancher had
hay to sell, and the alfalfa fields OF
the ranch are a better revenue maker
than the grain fields. This ranch has
some fine meadow land and eventually
all of it will be seeded to alfalfa.
