Alfalfa Fields Az

N. D., Morgan Says

Agricultural College. II. 81, Aug.
15.-No farm in the stateSfs too small
or too large to set a4tde Mo to 4AI
acre patch for q permanent alfalfa
field-'the most nutritious haysscrop
known toA r1an," according to- HssL.
Walster, agronomist OF the agricul-
tural college. 8ts4
When the farmers OF the state a..

to provide hay for the cattle, horses

farm system" ens
The AVERAGE yield OF driedEf,ay
from one Grimm alfalfa field onethe
college experimental farm for a nine
year average was 8 1-2 tons to the
acre. he says. During this period,
1912 to 1921, the crop froze out and
had to be resceded but once. in 1913.
During the same time q field of
Bronze grass-the best ylelder Of the
Erasses-had produced only / 1-2
tons to the acre. Besides this. accord
ing to Nj. Walster. bronze grass robs

ponds Upon the air for nitrogen.
North Dakota is now producing
from 100000 to 900, 900 pounds Of
Grimm alfalfa seed yearly and condi.
tions are apparently good for another
seed crop this year he says. adding
that:
Sales records indicate that most
of this valuable seed. producing the
most nutritious hay crop known to
man is being shipped out Of the state.
One of the important values of North
Dakota Grimm alfalfa is the fact that
it is produced OF dry land and under
conditions of sever cold. The older
fields have thus gone through a pro-
cess of natural selection by climate to
such an extent that North Dakota
seed should command a premium.

handcuffs, else he might have clapped

ed his posse down to Atropia with the
captured raiders and their leader.
When he came back we took time,
Daddy and and the big marshal, to
size up the damage that had been
wrought, and beyond that, to dig into
the mystery of the continuous grum-
bling roar. which was still ascending
out Of the wreck-covered mine shaft.
Beasley stayed with US, waiting, as
I took 1t, to get his breakfast before
he ran me Off to jail, and the three of
us fell to work clearing away the
fallen timbers and roofing iron, Dad
dy Hiram leading the attack and be-
ing the first to stick his head through
what remained OF the tangle and hang

''Hoorayl" he yelled, his voice
sounding as If 1t came from the inside

cutting them with celebrity that was

self, square jawed and peremptory,
was showing Fullerton up against the
side of the shaft-house, swapping the
irons upon his wrists and counseling
him, with choice eplthets lntermin-
gled, 10 save up his troubles and tell
them to the Judge.
AS we emerged from our wrecked
fortress, other members Of the posse
We're scattering to round up the out
lying bomb-throwers, who had appar-
emily taken to the tall timber In a
panic-stricken effort to escape. Down
on the bench below there were horses
and horse-holders; and among the
horses one whose l,oylsh-looking rider
was just slipping from the saddle.
While was wondering vaguely why
the Angels town marshal had let
mere boy come along ON such battle
errand, the boyish figure ran up the
road and darted In among us to fling
itself into Daddy Hiram's arms, CUR
Cling and half crying and begging to
be told II he was hurt.
/ didn't know at the time how much
or how little the big marshal knew OF
the various and muddled inducements
which were clinaxing right there In
the early morning sunshine on the old
Cinnabar dump head; but / do know
that he quickly turned his captures
over to some Of his deputies and had
them promptly hustled down stage
and off scene. While this was going
on l was merely waiting for my cue,
and got 1t, or thought got 1t when
the boy who wasn't boy slipped
from Daddy's arms and faced me.
"I'm not hurt, either" / ventured
to say, hoping that the brain storm
had subsidized sufficiently to make me
visible. Welcome home, Miss Twom-
bly--or should / say Mrs. Bullerton?
The look she gave me was just plain
deadly; you wouldn't think that vio-
let-blue eyes could do 1t. but they can.
Then she drew a folded paper from
somewhere inside of her clothes and
held 1t out to me.
There Is the deed to your mine,
Mr., Broughton," she said nIppingly,
and with fairly tragical emphasis on
the courtesy title. "You wouldn't
take the trouble to go to Copah and
get It recorded, so thought I'd better
do It. hope you'll pardon me for be-
Ing so forward and meddlesome."
It was the super-climax of the en-
tire Arabian-Nights business, and be-
cause my feelings would no longer be
denied their rightful fling, I sat down
on the shaft-house doorstep and
shouted and laughed like fool. But
after all, 1t was Mr.. Isaac Beasley,
deputy sheriff and marshal of Angels,
who put the weather-vane, so to
speak, upon the fantastic structure.
Il been lookln' round for you

there was a good and sufficient reason
plainly visible from the pits mouth.
Some twenty feet down, and on the
eastern side Of the shaft, a stream OF
water big enough to run a good-sized
hydro-electric plant was pouring into
the perpendicular cavern, and 1t was
its plunging descent into the bowels
Of the earth which was making the
mimic thunder.

Lowered into the pit At the nearer

teries were instantly made clear. The
reason why the wooden boxing disap-

In the box, and there was bottom.
And that other impression--that had

ice-cold water in the chilling depths:

In the middle of small pool slightly
upstream from the path leyel-a pock-

half hidden by growth of low
branching spruces-we saw a cone
shaped whirlpool swirl into which n
good third of the stream flow was
vanishing. Below this pool an appsr-
emily accidental heaping of rocks
formed small dam which kent the
little reservoir full.
Without a word, Daddy Hiram and
the Angelic marshal plunged reckless

hands tore away the loose-rock dam.
