Editor Telegraph:
I hope you people of Wash
ington may use your influence
with the State Road Commits
sion to have the National road
from Texarkana via Washing
ton and Arkadelphia to Little
Rock come by way of Ozau in
stead of Fulton, from the lac
that it would open up an out
let above the Red river into
Oklahoma, west anG northwes
Arkansas that would be traVoi-
ed at all times, even in seasons
of smallest inflow, by people
from those sections. l beilsve
a National road by Ozan will
double or trebbel the travel
through Washington as com
pared to travel via Fulton anc.
Washington and would pu,

You may say "Well, we d
ready have an outlet into Okla
homa and West Arkansas
Yes, but unless it is a M ,o''.il

~oad simply, as it now is, 1t
would not be known to the gen
eral public and hence woulo
not command the travel a Ma,
ional road would command,
and could not be made to do so.
If you will notice on your map,
from Ozan to Arkadelphia by
way of Washington, Saratoga
and Columbus is almost III -
air line, bearing just a little to
the north of Saratoga and Go
lumbus. / feel that if the Nat

th-ee latter places it would be
worth thousands torthe people.
along its line, as it would open
up a vast amount of good coun-
try and doubtless would COM
mand equally as much travel
as the road from TeXarkana TO
Little Rock via Hope W. liG
command, and this, ] believe.
is the only way that it will
command that much travel, as
people will not pass throug
Washington from Texarkana TO
Little Rock if the National
highway is via Fulton lnstea0
of via Ozan. People will go the

the road passes through ful

By having the ~oad come t.

would, of course, be taken ovei

LOCALS TAKE
ENTIRE SERIES
Washington'S Crack Team,
WinS Three Games From
NeUadd Oilers.

Oilers came Monday, according
to schedule, and contributed
three straight games to the sue
cesses Of the Washington Ball
Club. Mondays game resulted
in a score of Is to 6 in favor or
Washington and in Tuesday af-
ternoon's double-header tn
score in the first gadne was 3-S
and in the second ~, the To-
Gals finding it easy sailing to
take both games.
Mondays game was a hit and
run affair OH the part Of the
Washington sluggers, with a
gloomy view into the future on
tn part Of the visitors from
the first. Washington scored
2 in the first, 8 in the third, /
in the seventh and 6 in the
eight, When homers We're Sc
cured by both Carrigan and
McJunkins, each netting three
scores. A th~ee-bagger was al
go occurred by Carrigan in this
game and Trimble, Stuart and
Hamilton each landed the pill
for two bases. The boys more
than batteG around in this in
ming, and Stuart hit for two
two-baggers. Hamilton and
Stuart composed the Washing
ton battery and they were op-
posed by Caldwell and Schwi-
zerhoff. Hamilton held the
3ilers down to eight hits and
ssiE famed the air. Nineteer
hits were secured off of the
visiting twirler and he had one
lone strike-out to his credit al
the end of the contest.
The first game Tuesday, with
ar 8 to 3 score, was the most
interesting of the series. Vel.
vim and McJunkins made up
Washington's battery and Dale
Jones and Schwizerhoff repre-
sented the Oilers. Velvin walk
ed the first two up and Rogers
followed with a hit; Belts and
Atkins sacrificed, netting tn
only three runs of the game for
the visitors. After the first in
ming it was one, two, three and
the side retired, practically al
through the game. The locals
however, were not satisfied tC
do this and, by heavy hitting
managed to tie the score in the
first, run in three more in the
second and one each in the
third and fifth. One lone hi
was made off Velvin, three
fnned and four were walked
Eleven hits were secured of
Jones and he had three strike
outs to his credit. Carrlgan
again secured a home run and
ia three-baggsr in this game,
while Tfimble hit for a homer
and Mitchell for three bases.
The last game, with a 16 td
! score, was decidedly the poor
est exhibition seen at the local
park this season, due to the
heavy scoring of the locals and
the numerous errors of the Wis
itors. Carrigan and McJunkins
held the mound for Washing
ton and Carrigan only allowed
four hits and had five strike
outs to his credit. Caldwell
and Rogers constituted the
visitors battery at the opening
of the game, but Caldwell was
batted out of the box in the
second, when the locals came

Alfalfa Compared With
Bran for the Dairy Cow

"The hay produced from the aver
age acre of alfalfa in Wisconsin has
as much food value for dairy cows
as three tons of bran," is the opinion
of D. GRADER, alfalfa specialist of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
That the dairymen are realizing the
value of alfalfa is evidenced by the
large increase In acreage devoted to
alfalfa. In 1923 Wisconsin farmers
raised 10000 acres. The 1924 acre
age had increased to 267, 900 acres,
and the new seedlings last year will
bring the acreage to about 100000
for 1925 season.
The high lime and protein con-
tent Of alfalfa hay is what makes it
valuable as feed, as these nutrients
are low in most homegrown feeds
and must be supplied by purchasing
expensive concentrates"
In tests conducted by experiment
stations, it has been found that where
alfalfa has been substituted for bran
in the ration a slight increase in milk
now has resulted.

PREDICTS A 100000 CROP
Farm Bureau Head Makes Statement
Regarding U. S. Farms.

hieago-American farmers will
have a $4,000, 100000 income for the
new crop year, o. E. Bradfute, presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, says.
This is healthy increase and will
be the second consecutive good year."
Mr.. Bradfute asserted. ut is a re-
markable jump from the low point in
agricultural depression reached in the
crop season of 1922 when the farm
ers' total income amounted to only
$500, 100000. >
while the new crop season is only
four weeks old, conditions all point
to a record-breaking year. Last year
showed a decided turn for the better
in many parts of the country and the
coming crop year, which ends next
June so, should be even better.
In 1929 the farmers total in
come was $9,O0O,OOO,O0O. The crop
season of 1924 brought the farmer
$4,000, 100000; and the crop season
which ended June 80 Of this year
brought around $9,750,000,000.

THOUSANDS PAY
BRYAN TRIBUTE
Services for Commoner Held in
Washington Friday-BuriaI
at Arlington Cemetery.

Washington-Thou gathered at
the bier of William Jennings Bryan to
pay a last tribute to the memory OF
one of Americas most illustrious poll
tical and religious chieftains who died
Sunday at Dayton, Tenn.
The mountain folk of Eastern Ten
nesse, applauding spectators of his
last great battle, paid their tribute
Tuesday to the memory of Brother
Bryan" fearless champion OF their
Christian faith.
Passing in an endless line, hundreds
of men, women and children who
watched with affectionate eyes the'last
days Of the great commoner, looked for
the last time at the face Of their leader
as he lay in an humble Dayton home,
and glimpsed through the glass top of
his casket those firm set lips whence
eloquence often flowed to stir the
hearts and limbs of men to action.
Service Held on Lawn.
Later they stood again in a patient
multitude upon the lawn to hear a
minister speak a funeral paean and
praise God for the life and works of
Williams Jennings Bryan.
1t was Bryan, the clear-voiced herald
Of religious fundamentalism who re-
ceived the last rites.
The Rev. Charles R. Jones, pastor
of the Dayton Methodist church, where
Mr.. Bryan last attended public wor-
ship and where on the day he died he
raised his voice in prayer-his final
public utterance-conducted the brief
devotional services after the public
had viewed the body.
The memorial service was begun by
the singing of Nearer My God to
Thee" The throng upon the grass
| Joined in the simple hymn.
Burial in Arlington Friday.
Friday in Washington, his country
men paid high honor to the Democra-
| tic chieftain, presidential candidate
and former secretary of state. In Ar
/ lington cemetery, then the colonel Of
| volunteers in the war with Spain was
laid to rest among the military heroes
Of the nation.
/ In the party accompanying the re-
mains from Dayton to Washington
| were:
Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Ruth Owens,
daughter, and her husband, Major
Reginald Owen, of the British army;
1 S. Bryan Jennings, Jacksonville, cou-
sin of the commoner; Colonel P. s.
Callahan, Louisville; William E.
Thompson, secretary to Mr.. Bryan
Wallace Taggard, Dayton lawyer and
friend of the Bryan family; Mrs. c. G.
Stevens, housekeeper, and William H.

Value of Alfalfa Meal

On account Of many inquiries with
regard to the feeding value of alfalfa
meal test was made at the Central
Experimental farm with group Of
Ayrshire and Holstein cows. The
cows were fed standard rations of corn
sllage, clover hay and meal, the meal
being partly composed of either bran or
alfalfa meal. The alfalfa meal in the
test did not prove as valuable as a
feed for dairy cows as bran, but this
depends a good deal on the price paid
for each. If the alfalfa meal can be
bought at a price some 10 to Is per
cent lower than bran, it may prove
more economical.

March 10. 1860.

Dayton, Tenn--William Jennings
Bryan died suddenly while he slept in
the afternoon at the residence of
Richard Rogers here. Apoplexy, prob
ably aggravated by Indigestion, Is said
% have been the cause of death.
Bryan was sixty-five years of age.
Apparently in perfect health, full Of
plans to make a nationwide fight for
laws protecting the Bible against the
teaching of evolution, Mr.. Bryan went
TO his room for nap after hearty
meal
Mrs. Bryan sent the family chauf-
feur, who also acted as companion to
MFR. Bryan, to awaken him.
Found Dead in Bed.
The chauffeur found Mr.. Bryan ly.
ing in an awkward position on the
bed, as if he had fallen while trying
10 rise. There was no sign of heart
action.
Physicians were then summoned.
They found that Mr. Bryan had been
dead for some minutes.
Mrs. Bryan was In a wheel chair on
the porch when she learned that her
husband was dead. She was overcome
with grief. According to their init
mates, no more devoted couple ever
lived
Devoted Couple.
Up to the time Of her Illness Mrs.
Bryan had made her one object in life
the comfort and care of her husband,
and since she has been an invalid Mr.,
Bryan's tenderness toward her has
been most striking.
Her consolation in his sudden death
was that it took place at a time when
he was happiest.
81 am glad that he died without
pain" she said.
Mr.. Bryan was to have left Dayton
shortly for Knoxville, where he was
TO make two addresses on the Scopes
trial and to outline his idea of a ma
tional campaign to arouse the people
10 the danger in which he believed the
Christian religion stands today.
Last TrlumphaI Tour.
Less than twenty-four hours before
his death the Commoner spoke to a
great crowd at Winchester, Tenn. He
was in fine form. He delivered a stir
ring speech and took delight in the
applause and in the evident affection
and admiration in which the crowd
held him.
Returning from Winchester Mr..
Bryan's train was like his famous cleo
tion special of 1896. From the rear
platform he made speech after speech
at each stop, and the crowds cheered
him wildly and kept the train until its
schedule was thoroughly disjOinted.

Fence-Breaking Habit

When COWS have once learned the
habit OF breaking through fence, 1t
is hard to break them of 1t. There
are two things that you can do and
these are first to feed the cows all
they viii eat and the other is to put
more wires on your fence. The wires
should be so tight and so close to-
gether that the cows cannot get their
heads between. On the other hand
when cows are fed all they want to
eat, they will want to lie down and
chez their cud.

SEPARATORS HAVE
MANY ADVANTAGES

1t Is practically impossible to
produce cream of good quality for but
ter making without cream separator,
say the dairy specialists of Clemson
college, who give below some points
on the type of machine to buy and
some Of the advantages Of separator.
In purchasing a separator, the first
consideration Is to select a standard
make, that is, machine manufactured,
sold and guaranteed by reliable COM
pany which makes separators for use
rather than for sales purposes. The
standard machines are constructed on
SOUND mechanical principles and are
made of good material.
When machine sells for very low
price 1t Is usually because of cheap
materials and poor workmanship.
These types are short lived, as the ma
terials from which they are con-
structed are low grade and soon wear
enough to cause considerable loss OF
butterfat In the skim milk. This loss
will increase as the use of this type Of
separator Is continued The loss in
butterfat because of poor separation,
If saveo, would pay the difference In
price in a few weeks.
Standard separator companies MAIN
tain a service in communities where
their separators are in use, and are
always glad to keep their machines In
good repair and efficient running order.
If a farmer is not acquainted with
standard makes of separators, he
should consult his creamery manager
before making q purchase.
The advantages of the centrifugal
cream separation over the gravity or
hand skimming- separation are as fol-
lows:
/. The range of temperature and
condition of milk at which the cream
can be successfully separated is much
greater than that for successful sep
aration by the gravity method.
2. A much better quality of cream
can be obtained, as the separation can
be done before the milk gets old,
while by the Swimming method
the time required for efficient sepa-
ration is so long that the cream de-
| teriorates somewhat before 1t is re-
moved from the milk.
| 3. AS much as one-fourth Of the
butterfat Is often lost by the gravity
method, while an efficient cream sep
arator will not lose more than one
hundredth of 1 per cent in the skim
milk.
4. The thickness Of the cream can
be regulated to suit requirements,
while by the gravity method the thick
/ est cream that can be obtained Is
about 20 per cent butterfat. 1t is best
to produce cream testing 35 to 40 per
cent butterfat for shipment to the
| creamery.
8. Many impurities and undesirable
| germs are removed, while by the grav-
| ity method exposure to impure air Is
| likely to contaminate the milk with
taints, and promotes the action of un.
desirable bacteria.
6. The skim milk is left In more
natural condition, thus making it more
suitable for feeding purposes.
