Do We have to stand by Article Ten!

POSING AS LABoR's FRIEND

been that he Is the true friend Of the
workingman. In his speech here IN
Wheeling. delivered after ne had been
Hospitality entertained at the home Of
our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr.. J. G..
Mckinley, Mr.. Cox placed special en-
phasis on the fact that he had always
had the interests of the worker at heart.
His record as a congressman does not
show this. and his claim that he had
never used troops in a labor disturbance
is controverted by the fact that he held
troops in readiness for use at Akron and
Youngstown.

Superior Qualities
OF Peruvian Alfalfa

Peruvian alfalfa ,shas decided
advantages over other varieties
for those sections of the United
States where it will grow. say
/, forage experts of United States
Department of Agriculture. This
should be taken as<applying to the
true or hairy Peruvian alfalfa and
not to the so-called smooth-leav-
led Peruvian alfalfa. This later
name the specialists regard as I'M
fortunate, as it leads to confusion
in the seed trade and gives I'M
scrupulous dealers an opportunity
to make excessive profits on
mixed seeds. The Smooth Pc
ruvian is hardly distinguishable
from common alfalfa"
The principal advantages of Pc
ruvian as compared with common
alfalfa are its more rapid growth.
quick recovery after cutting, and
ability to grow in cooler weather,
thus furnishing more pasturage
during the winter and in late fall
and early spring.
The territory in which common
alfalfa could be profitably replac-
ed by Peruvian includes a COM
paratively narrow strip down the
Pacific Coast and along the Mex
lean border and the Gulf, thence
up the Atlantic Coast to the vicin-
ity of Charleston, S. c. 1t can
not be grown to- advantage where
the winter temperature falls be-
low 10 degrees.
This alfalfa was first introduced
into this country by the United
States Department of Agriculture
in 1899. The earliest introduc-
tons were not perpetuated, how
ever, and it was not until 1908
that considerable efforts were
made to produce supply of seed.
The subject of the Peruvian alfal-
ia industry is discussed in detail
in Department of Agriculture cir
cular 90, just issued.
