The %hold-ups, robberies, etc. of the past week causes many
residents Of the city to wonder whether or not Rawlins has
sufficient police protection. On the city police force there are
but four men, including City Marshal IIillenbrand
These four men are required to police and protect the
city during the entire "A hour day and from recent events it
appears that this is a feat impossible to perform with this
number of officers. There is practically no patrolling of the
uptown portion of the city as it requires the services of the
officers in other portions of the city most of the time.
Due to the developments in and around Rawlins and the
rapid growth of the city there is necessarily a large floating
population here at all times. In this population lays the
danger to the citizens and to the property of the city.
1t would probably be we'll for the city officials to consider
this carefully and if deemed for the best interests of the city
as a whole to furnish Marsha, Hillenbrand more policemen.

j. S. POWDER PLANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Greatest Single Loss Suffered BY
Federal Government Since
the World War

Nashville, Tenn.-Forty-five million
pounds of powder were destroyed by
fire at the Old Hickory powder plant
near here. The loss, on the basis Of
present prices, is estimated at more
than $2,OOO.OOO.
The powder was manufactured for
the federal government during the war
ut a cost of approximately S22,OOO,O00.
Machinery and buildings erected by
the government during the war at a
cost of more than $5,OOO.OOO were also
destroyed by the flames, which swept
over IN area of 40 acres, in the heart
of the plant. The fire was declared
to be the greatest single loss suffered
by the government since the World
war and was rated as one of the most
destructive incidents in the history of
government munitions plants. No one
was severely injured. AS it was i'm
possible to approach the ares of the
fire. because of the intense heat. an
official estimate of the loss therefore,
was impossible. All estimates were
made from h distance by government
and private employees.

Alfalfa Pasture Is
Superior for Swine
Has No Equal in Palatability
and Protein.

"In palatability and In production Of
protein alfalfa has no equal as pas
ture crop for hogs. Alfalfa hay is a
profitable hog feed during the winter
months" says E. G. Filing, animal hus-
b%andryman. Kansas State Agricultural
college.
After spring litters have been
weaned, brood sows will do well on
alfalfa pasture and a light grain ra-
ton A hog raiser will find 1t profit
able to feed corn literally to his
They will then be ready for the fall
market, which Is usually higher than
he winter market. according to Filing.
At the Kansas experiment STATEN
5O-pound pigs which were fed corn
with alfalfa pasture gained three
times as much per day as hogs re-
ceiving corr alone in a dry lot. The
first group required only 4.5 pounds of
corn to make a pound Of gain. whereas
the second group required 11.25 pounds.
Even when a well balanced ration was
fed, the pigs On the alfalfa gained A
per cent more per day than pigs fed
the same grain ration in a dry lot.
The first of these groups required 3.5
pounds of grain to produce a pound Of
gain while the second group required
IS pounds.
Alfalfa pasture should not be grazed
too closely. 1t is better to have a
large acreage SO that 1t can be cut
about twice and yield o~ne-fourth. or
one-half a crop of hay. This acreage
will. Of course. vary with the rainfall.

lions In countries consuming large

surplus in North Africa further
strengthens the market positions Of
these wheats and the outlook from the
point Of view of American producers
Is more favorable than last year."

Renovating Strawberry
Patch After Harvesting

The strawberry patch which a
borne one crop should be renovated
o after harvest. This ls done by
blowing out the plants IN either one
or both sides Of the row. leaving a
strip only about four inches wide. The
soil Of the plowed land Is thoroughly
cultivated and, II a spike-tOothed har-
row is used. consolidation may be
practiced SO that q good bed Is made
for the new runner plants. Under
good soil conditions these will start to
grow within a short time and will make
a row Of new plants II to 16 inches
wide by early fall The new plants
are confined to the proper width by
continuing cultivation until they cease
to grow.
Usually 1t does not pay to ~renovate
n commercial strawberry patch that
has already produced two crops, al
though a home patch. under very IA
vorable conditions, may be allowed to
yield three and sometimes four crops
