PERUVIAN ALFALFA SAID
TO HAVE sUPERIoRITIEs
Applies to Hairy Peruvian Alfalfs
And Not the So-Callsd
Smooth Lat.

Peruvian alfalfa has decided ad
vantnges over other varieties for
those sections of the United States
where it will grow, say forage ex
perts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture This should
be taken as applying TO the true
or hairy Peruvian alfalfa and not
to the socalled smooth-leaved Peru
Wan alfalfa. This latter name the
specialists regard as unfortunate. as
it leads to confusion in the seed
trade and gives lInscrupulous deal
ers an opportunity to make exces
sive profits on mixed seeds. The
smooth Peruvian is hardly dis
tiEguished from common alfalfa"
The principal advantages of Peru.
Wan as compared with common al.
falfa are it's more rapid growth,
quick recovery after cutting, and
ability 10 grow in cooler weather,
thus furnishing more pasturage
during the winter and in late fall
ana early spring.
The territory in which common
alfalfa could be profitably replac-
ed by Peruvian includes a compara-
lively narrow strip down the Paci-
fic coast and along the Mexican
border and the Gulf, thence up the
Atlantic coast to the vicinity of
Charleston, S. C. 1t can not be
grown to advantage where the win
ter temperature falls below 10 de-
grees.
This alfalfa was first introduced
into this country by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in 1899. The earliest introductions
were not perpetuated, however,
and it was not until 1903 that con-
siderable efforts were made to pro
duce a supply OF seed The sub
ject of the Peruvian alfalfa industry
is discussed in detail in Depart
ment of Agriculture Circular 50,
Just issued.

The Holly Rifle Club team lost

v.ndykes May B.eom. Popular.

That Vandyke boards may be-
come fad and quite the style for
men in Holly is indicated by a
hike in prices at the local barber
shops. Since Monday morning of
this week 1t costs an even two bits
to get shaved and four bits for a
hair cut. This is raise of a
'jitney" or matter of 20 per cent.
All other features of the bill of fare
at local tousorial parlors have been
proportiOnately elevated, and the
safety razor trade promises to look
up soon. 1t should be borne in
mind, however that the Holly
BARRIERS are aout the last in the
state to reach this standard of
prices. All the other towns have
been charging these prices for some
time. So it won't help any to even
write or wire Sears, SaWbuck or
any one else about it. A Vandyke
and elongated, curly cultured
looks are the only alternative.

Col. F. D. Bartlett Here To
Tell Men About II.
NUMBER OF HoLLY'S BEST
YOUNG MEN INTERESTED
New Organization Is Being Perfect
cd Throughout the Country IS
Precautionary Measure Against
Internal Troubles.

Col. +. ID. Bartlett has been in
Holly the past week in the interest
of the organization of a company of
the new National Guard. He ar
rived the later part of last week
and has already secured the hearty
cooperation of Rockwell Post OF
the American Legion and num-
her of the merchants and business
men of the town.
The new National Guard is large
ly a precautionary movement for
the prevention OF any internal trou.
BILE such as might result from
strikes or other disorders More
over many benefits ere to be de-
rived by the young men who enlist
Tor membership In the way of
nealthrul training, camp life and
experience in the open once q
year.
1t will also be the purpose of the
organization here to have it's own
arwory which will be provided
TOR by the state and federal govern
ments.
Col. Bartlett is in the Officers
Reserve Corps of the w. s. army.
though he has been here only q
few days he is very favOrably i'm
pressed with the town and the
possibilities for it's future. He has
especially noted the physical fit
ness of young men here eligible for
enlistment in the New National
Guard.
Speaking of Holly and its posi-
bilities Col. Bartlett was quick to
discern the necessity of draining the
Amity bottom as health precau-
tiOn as well as for its great indus
trial Importance This is matter
in which all Holly and vicinity real
izes the need of the hour-a drain
age canal to eliminate the seep
water from a large tract non-pro-
ductive though the most fortile
part of the Holly district.
Col Bartlett expects to organize
= company here within few days.
In fact he already has about 80 of
our best young men interested and
ready.
1t should be borne in mind, too,
that members of the Guard re-
ceive pay for armory drill from the
United States Government, as well
as full federal pay for the time
spent in camp each year.
The colonel is a genial gentleman
and will be glad to talk to anyone
interested.
