ALFALFA MEAL PRODUCTION

Some idea of the rapidly growing
importance of Fallon's alfalfa meal
industry may be had from the state
ment that the Fallon alfalfa meal
company is now doing an approx
mate daily business of 800. As a
result more than a carload of meal
is being produced daily, which COM
mands a selling price of $1,000 per
ION on board the cars. Two shifts.
each of FIVE men, are operating the
mill and things are going forward
without a hitch. The Fallon alfalfa
meal company plant here represents
an investment of approximately S20,-
900 and is being augmented by a
second plant now nearing compile
ton by the Western Meat Company,
which has two grinding units and
will turn out about twice the amount
of meal produced by the Fallon al
falfa meal company plant.
The Western Meat Company plant
was started Monday and hay grind
ing is now In progress. This plant
represents an investment of approx
mately $50, 900 and viii employ from
25 to 80 men when in full operation.

CORPORATION TO DISSOLVE
Cooperative Scheme Launched Un-

colonization scheme, undertaken
here by socialistic idealists in May,
1916, as a cure-all for the economic
evils which beset mankind will ex-

of those in charge of the affairs OF
the organization Conceived and
put forward as real Utopia, where
class distinction was unknown and
profit-sharing was equal, mundane
notions came in about the proportion
that population was gained until
finally dissension and strife gained
the upper hand
Litigation was resorted to to re-
establish individual rights which
had been merged into the single
scheme and in the meantime a gen
eral exodus occurred of the popuIa-
tion of the colony four miles east of
Fallon. fondly designated by the pro-
moters as Nevada City, until now
none remains of the former three
hundred or whereabouts of well in
tending people who sought refuge
there and sureease from worldly
care.
The colony reached its zenith in
January of last year At that time
a dozen distinct forms of endeayo,
characterized colony activities. Wood
and metal working shops we're main
tained. complete printing plant
was operated, store was conducted
and farming in its every phase was
essayed. About three dozen cot
tages had been constructed and were
occupied by families. Tangible as.
sets were on hand at that time
amounting to a quarter of a million
dollars which have dwindled until Il
Is now estimated that between $50.
600 and $50. 900 in real and persona
property holdings remain to be ap-
portioned. Present plans contem-

naming include $50 acres of farm

considerable amount of persona
property. The litigation in progres

tied out Of court, and for the frs
time since the colony went the wa,
of numerous predecessors, IT is nov
possible to salvage the visible as.
sets, apportion them equitably and
write off the losses thus oeeasioned
There was a time during the early
stages of the colony when complete
success seemed certain. It's parti

modieum of plausibility that
haven had been provided whicl
would eventually provide for a pop

COOPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success

It is, therefore, with the keenest

man Hapgood writes in Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity, disease, deprecated

Jewish workers almost to starvation.
During the war q small group decided
to take the most Immediate and effec-
tive step. About three years ago $50
workers formed a cooperative So
ciety in order to fight against the
rise in prices. Each worker contrib
uted 10 francs and with this capital
of $500 francs the society began to
make it's purchases. AS a result the
members of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation So
ciety, "Mashbir," embraces at pres
ent about 5000 persons and has a
budget of $4,000 francs. Their first
year of business showed profit. Dur
ing the second year robbery and
plunder by the Turks changed this
profit into a loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their

workmen, but also teachers and clerks.

prepared by the United States Depart

Planting ensilage corn last instead
IF ia st is an expensive mistake very
generally made in northern portions OF
The United States. Strong terminating
seed of ensilage varieties from farther
south should be planted two or three
weeks earlier than the homegrown
seed, which is planted for the produc-
tion of grain.
Earlier Planting, Better Yields.
When large ensilage varieties from
Virginia or Missouri, for example, are
planted in northern states late in May,
they make rapid, long-jointed, tend
er, succulent growth, and are so green
when fall frosts occur that they are
heavy to handle, low in feeding value,
and make ensilage which is sloppy
and too sour. But when planted in
April, or very early May, they make a
slower, harder growth, better with
stand spring frosts and summer
droughts, and reach a more advanced
condition of maturity and produce
more grain than when planted later.
Fall frosts, not spring frosts, are most
to be feared.
Early maturing, homegrown varie-
ties do not need and may not be bene-
flied by unusually early planting, but
| large growing ensilage varieties are
benefited. Though somewhat dwarfed
by very early planting, the large en-

FEEDING VALUE OF SOY BEAN
Seed Contains From so to 46 Per Cent
Protein and Compares Favorably
With Other Feeds.

(Prepared by. the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The feeding value of soy-bean seed,
which contains from 30 to 46 per cent
protein, is very high and compares
favorably with other concentrated
feeds. The growing of soy-bean seed
will enable the farmer to produce at
moderate cost at least part of the
high-protein concentrates necessary for
stock feeding and milk production.
When fed to sheep and hogs the beans
can be fed whole, but in general it is
preferable to crack or grind them.
Practical experience has shown that
it is necessary to mix the beans with
corn or peas first and then grind to-
gether into meal. Owing to the high
content of protein, soy-bean seed
should always be fed in mixture with
less concentrated feed.
