FOR GREATER ACREAGE
ALFALFA, SWEET CLOVER

An effort will be made this year
to increase the acreage of both al
falfa and sweet clover on the farms
of Roosevelt county. Both of these
crops are a very good diversified
crop, and may be properly named as
dual crops. For feeding livestock of
any kind, as a roughage, they cannot
be beaten in food value if hay is
properly put up, and they T de-
pendable cash seed crops.
In a favorable year, they have
proved to be a paying cash crop when
handled for commercial seed. This
past year seed buyers paid from 10
to IA cents a pound for sweet clover
seed; II to 80 cents a pound for
common alfalfa seed, and 80 to 35
cents a pound for registered Grimm
alfalfa seed.
Farmers the past years, in places
particularly favorable to the pro-
duction of alfalfa seed, have made
remarkable increases in the produc-
ton of this crop. This is due to the
fact that the more intensified farm
ing sections of the middle west have
to have alfalfa to feed their dairy
COWS and other livestock, and de-
for a development of this
crop.
The past several years has ex-
1rienced a good demand and good
for high classes of alfalfa
seed. and inasmuch as this, as well
as sweet clover is a dual purpose and
2 diversified crop, it is believed that
the farmer who has no acreage Of
of these crops, or a small acre
age, will not lose anything by in
creasing it.
An effort will be made this year
10 start a registered Grimm alfalfa
hub among the more progressive
Bows in the county who have condi-
ions particularly adaptable to the
production of alfalfa. This club will
7e a nucleus and ean of getting

;eed; will scatter throughout the
county q condition, which, unfortu-
1atelv does not exist at the present
line Roosevelt county, at the pres
mt time has only one or two regis
cred Grimm alfalfa growers produc-

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The next night when Johnny
Jump Up, the garden fairy, wakened
the Twins and the 'hree of them had
climbed down the rose vine into the
magic garden, the little fairy skip
ped over to a patch Of yellow flow
ers and stopped.
"Do you know what these are?' he
asked :.
Sort off," said Nancy. 1--WE seen
something like them before"
"These are English primroses,"
said Johnny Jump UP. "In America
primroses are pink and purple, but
in England they are yellow, and
come out early in the spring.
..'Why don't you let them see for
themselves?" said silvery voice.
And the Twins beheld lovely lit
tie fairy standing in the primrose
patch. 1.-THE Fairy Queen said you
had telephoned for three tickets to
England" said the fairy, $50 got
them and few here as fast as could
come. But you are talking and talk
ing as though you never would get
through"
why, you're talking and talking
yourself" said Johnny Jump Up
Grossly.
snow you're both talking said
still another voice. "This is the talk
lest place l ever saw. Now that you

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE
THE SECRET DRAWER

My, it seems good to get home
again. l wonder if you have missed
me, dear little Marquise? l was so
glad to get back and find that
mother Prescott had not found your
secret drawer, that is SO full of my
condolences now instead of yours.
The last day of my stay in New
York was rather unhappy.
Alice acted like a petulant child.
1t seems that when / elected to stay
at home and not go with the family
to the opera on the evening before
my departure, Karl was much disap-
pointed. He seemed to think that as
it was our last evening in New York
/ should not stay away from his
party, which l. found out afterward
he had planned on. a magnificent
scale, beginning with box at the
Metropolitan Opera House, and end
ing with a gorgecds supper and
dancing at the Little Club.
"He acted as though you were the
guest of honor, Les" Alice said.
"Well, wasn't she!" asked mother
quietly. who was standing by. II
cannot understand you, Alice, since
you returned from England. You
know you cannot always be the GEN.
ter of attraction. have felt often
since we have been staying here in
New York that had l been Karl
would have boxed your ears"
Alice looked at mother disgusted-
ly and founced out of the room.
ri am afraid, we left Alice too long
in England alone, Leslie. Karl has
evidently spoiled her. She expects
him to be at her beck and call every
minute

IL have found that she is put out
if Karl is even hlially devoted to me.
Last night at the opera she wore N
new string of pearls. Karl put them
on her just before We left. 1t was
magnificent gift and any other girl
would have been wild with delight,
but what do you think she said?
"She turned from the mirror
where she had been looking at them
around her, throat and exclaimed,
with disappointed frown. 81 don't
think they are as pretty as Leslie's.'
What do. you mean?' / asked
You know Leslie's necklace is only
a string of imitation beads. You
gave it to her yourself
"She didn't deign to answer but
took KarPs arm and preceded us
to the motor" "'
Oh, little Marquise, l wish I hadn't
promised Karl not to tell. If l had
not would then and there have told
mother the whole story.
l am going to put those pearls in
the little secret drawer here and
keep them out of my sight for long
time.
1t is a strange thing that while l
have been perfectly innocent in this
matter those Inflated gems have
made me unhappy ever since my
marriage, and now because foolish
ly told Karl l would keep them
can't even tell Jack about them Ms
Ruth says, Jack might forgive me
the pearls because he would realize
that at first did not know they
were real, but he would never for
give me for letting Karl pay $4,000
to keep the string intact.
As it is, have just got to sit
tight and hope for the best.
