GREAT ALFALFA YEAR

} Whether the average Morrison Coun.
ty farmer realizes 1t or not, this has
been great season all over the United
States for alfalfa. It's cultivation in
this country began in the dry regions,
because it has habit of sending it's
long roots far down into the earth to
gather whatever moisture there is hid
den below, but recently it has been
shown that it thrives in regions where
there is considerable moisture.
While alfalfa is comparatively new
in the United States, it is one Of the
oldest of cultivated crops. - 1t was
known and appreciated thousand
years before Christ tramped the rocky
hills of Palestine When the Medes
and Persians were trying to extermin'
ate each other their horses were being
sustained upon alfalfa hay. Europe cul-
tivated it thousand years ago, and the
Spaniards carried it across the ocean to
South America. A Catholic priest in
troduced it into this country within the
last one hundred years, and it was not
until 25 or 80 years ago that it began
to be cultivated as a commercial crop
in the United States, making it's way
from California across the plains and
thence to almost every section Of the
land. Today it is one of the most val
liable crops in America, and this last
year the harvest is record breaker
and worth many millions of dollars.

CURE FOR SNORING

We have just read in an eastern
paper remedy for snoring. The writer
says this remedy consists solely in sleep
ing without a pillow. He doesn't ex.
plain why that will cure snoring, and
neither does he guarantee it to do so.
But he offers the advice, and hopes it
will be helpful to the good wife who
says her husband shores so much that
she can't sleep in the same room with
him.
Snoring is sort of confidential af-
fair. At least it is seldom INDUCED in
in public. But the truth is it is so pre-
valent hardly home can be found in
which snoring does not play a part in
the domestic felicity-or infelicity.
And still you CAM find man or wo-
man in all Little Falls who will openly
admit they snore in their sleep. No one
is conscious of it, of course, for he is
asleep at the time, and in his waking
hours he will not believe the statement
that he has almost ERASED the roof. -
If he is prodded in the ribs and told to
turn over, he grows angry and resents
the imputation that he was snoring at
all. But if the absence of pillows will
as the eastern writer claims, stop the
cvil|and it certainly is an evil to those
who have to listen to it-then by all
means throw the pillows in the trash
barrel, or give them to the kids to fight
with. The cure would be worth several
hundred times the original cost of few
pillows.

Europe's Brown Tail Moth a Real

two months. European inspection is

not been notified of consignements to

have arrived at destination. AS there
is great danger. in the opinion of Mr..
Ruggles, Of adding the brown tailed
moth, pest of fruit, shade and forest
trees, to other insect pests in Minneso-

can be thoroughly inspected BY his de-
partment. This moth was introduced
in Massachusetts several years ago and
that state has spent millions Of dollars
in fighting it.

Senator Lindsey has introduced a
bill providing that all real estate taxes
for 1921 shall not become due nor de-
linquent until November /, 1921. De-
inquent taxes are to draw 10 per cent
after that date. The proposal is be-
cause of the money stringency and
would only be for this year. The June
settlement would be rather a small
amount, if the bill becomes law. The
law extending payment Of the personal
tax was rather late to benefit a large
portion of the tax payers as they had
already paid the tax.

Mellon URGES
RIGID ECONOMY
National Budget System Vital,
Secretary Of Treasury AS
SertS in Statement.
DISCUSSES FINANCES
Declares Showing Made During Last
Eight Months Particularly En-
couraging'-Figures Show
country's Finances Sound.

Notwithstanding Mellon Of
the Treasury, in his first official state
ment In the form of letter to bank
ers, appealed to "the people general
ly" to stand for rigid economy in gov
ernmental expenditures and urged the
immediate establishment of a national
budget system.
The new Treasury secretary in his
letter discussed the nations financial
conditions, declaring that the show
ing made in the last eight months
had been particularly encouraging. !"
There are, however, heavy drains to
come on the Treasury this month and
next, he said, and these require the
fotatton of more short term certif1-
Gates Of indebtedness, announcement
of which he made co-incident with
the letter to the bankers.
"country's Finances sound.'
'"The nation cannot afford ,extravag-
ance," Mr.. Mellon asserted. Figures
on current operatings of the govern
ment show that the country's finances
are sound but that the situation calls
for the utmost economy.
THE heavy requirements of the gov
eminent on account Of necessary ex-
penditures, including interest and
sinking fund on the public debt, and
the maturity of $500, 100000 in short
dated debt in the next two years or
thereabouts, make it imperative that
the greatest care and economy be ex.
ercised in matters affecting govern
ment expenditures. 6
THE people generally must become
more interested in saving the gov
ernment's money than in spending it.
A thorough-going national budget sys-
tenn must be established and the gov
ernment's expenses brought into rela-
ton to its income"
$780, 900 Issue Planned.
The belief was expressed by the new
secretary, however, that the first nine
months of the fiscal year, or to March
81, would show the Treasury had made
ends meet with slight surplus to use
against the great war debt. The issues
Of certificates announced will az
gregate $400,000,00e and will bear in
terest at 5k per cent, half having a
maturity date of one year and the re-
mainder for six months. Both issues
will be accepted in payment of income
and profits taxes.
In notifying the bankers of the is
sues, Mr.. Mellon said he felt it his
duty to inform them at the outset of
his administration of the probable re-
quirements Of the government in the
coming months end to say something
concerning its financial program. He
said that $500,0O0,0O0 in certificates
must be paid off March Is and an ad-
ditional $118,000,00O a month later.
Besides these needs, there is to be
paid the semi-annual interest on Lib
erty bonds on March Is, a payment of
about $75,000,000. The Treasury also
must make payments to the railroads
during March, which Mr.. Mellon es-
Inmates at $200,000,00O.
