GROW ALFALFA

There is no crop in Dakota which is
as sure to give good returns as alfalfa.
The yields on large number of farms
in the county the past four years is
we'll above two tons per acre. Last
year over an area of more than 5000
acres the yield was better than three
tons per acre.
Feeding experiments at several of
the experiment stations have proven
that alfalfa is equal to bran, pound for
pound when fed to dairy cows and
young growing stock. This was very
noticeable at Illinois station where a
ton Of alfalfa produced 1874 pounds
more of milk when fed to cows than a
ton OF timothy had made when fed.
In milk production, alfalfa proved to
be worth $10.4S more per ton than
timothy did. At the New Jersey sta.
ton, alfalfa hay proved to give a prof.
it of $1,000 more where it was raised
gotten from concentrates bought.
To get a good stand of alfalfa, one
should sow after corn or potatoes.
The ground should be plowed early
and disced and narrowed until it is
quite solid and free from weeds. The
ground should be we'll MANFRED.
I The seeding should be at the rate
OF seven pounds per acre, and should
be drilled in. One can regulate the
rate of seeding by mixing the seed
with ground barley or with soil. If
soil is used, it should be fairly we'll
dried so that it will pass through the
drill without trouble.
Most soils of the county need to be
inoculated to give good results. This
can be done by taking soil from an
old alfalfa field, drying it until it will
pass through the drill, then mixing the
soil with the seed. Don't allow the
soil to be exposed to the sun after it
is dug up, as this kills the bacteria.
On ordinary ground alfalfa has CIV
en- the best results in the county by
being sown from the middle to the last
of June. ~
falfa, after a stand has been gotten,
have been caused by winter killing.
This is either due to pasturing or cut
ting the alfalfa too late in the fall.
One of the best ways to avoid this
trouble is to procure the most hardy
seed.
After much experiment work along
the line of testing of the hardness of
alfalfa, it has been shown that Grimm
seed is the best for this state. While
this seed costs more, it should, with
out doubt, be sown. There is no crop
which will give. as good results as
will alfalfa if given ordinary care. Its
worth has been demonstrated all over
the county by some of our best farm.

A car load of hogs day. That has

of fine porkers during the past week,
and there are severa, other car loads
going out of Cordele this week for
various packing houses.
Local buyers ar active over ter

better than they have ever been. To
the people who are interested in see
ing the farmer diversity his crops and

fine hogs that are available in Crisp
county and this immediate section is
very gratifying, and the demand for
the hogs is causing the farmers and
other raisers to make very extensive
plans for hog raising during the ensu-
ing year.
Slade G. Mccarthy shipped another

over one hundred in the car and in the
lot there were some of the finest that
have been seen in the local market.

EDWARD KONETCHY, IS THE
BIGGEST OF THE BRAVES

three years ago. His long term con-
tract, which he had signed with the
Pittsburg Feds, was taken over by the
Boston National League Club when
Manager Stallings purchased ko-
netchy a year ago for $4,000. He is
today the highest priced first baseman
in either Major League. Konetchy is
one of the biggest men physically in
baseball today. He towers above all
other members of the Boston club. His
tremendous size, however, does not
effect his speed, and he is specially
fast in getting difficult foul balls hit
back of and beyond first base. His
strength at the bat is his biggest sin
gle asset and it is generally believed
that when his days as first baseman
are over his batting will land him a
permanent position in the outfield.

CORDELE IDEAL FOR
Big LEAGUE TRAINING
OFFERS ADVANTAGES IN WAY OF
CLIMATE, GOOD GROUNDS AND
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS, MR..
SCHWENK SAYS.

J. T. Schwenk, ground keeper for
the New York Yankees, was in Cor
dele several days this week, making
some improvements on the local
grounds preparatory to the game be-
tween the Yankees and the Boston
Braves on March %. He stated that
the grounds were already in excellent
condition, though he carefully made
number of small improvements that
he found to advantage, especially for
the big league game to be played here.
ut occurs to me that Cordele would
make an effort to become permanent
winter training location for one of the
big league teams. Really, l am sur
prised that Cordele has not put forth
a sufficient effort to get big league
team to winter here. 1 say this be-
cause l thoroughly believe that with
sufficient encouragement Cordele
could easily secure such an enterprise.
The town certainly has the advantages
required, an ideal climate, good
grounds and good hotel accommoda-
tons, and while it is a town of en-
terprise and hustle, yet is qualified
with the proper moral influences that
is one of the greatest assets in the
selection of winter training ground
for a professional ball club.
"Cordele would have to offer no fur
Their encouragement to most of the
big league teams than the advantages
that the town already possesses in it's
excellent climate, good grounds, no.
tel accommodations and perhaps a
few other advantages, none of which
would cost any more probably than
those which l have named. 1t is a
mistaken idea that good towns have
to offer heavy inducements to secure
big professional baseball team for
winter training. AS a matter of fact,
the better class of ball clubs do not
require any inducements in the way
of money but on the other hand, they
leave large sums in the hands of the
local merchants, the hotel men and
other citizens and enterprises"
A number of prominent local fans
have already been working on the
plan to secure a big league team to
winter in Cordele for another sea-
son, and encouraging Roadway has al
ready been accomplished in this di-
rection.
