LOS ANGELES, Oct. c--.-Des.
pite the general tendency all over
the irrigated sections of the west to-
wards speciality crops, there is de-
finite trend towards greater alfal-
fa production because of all crops,
alfalfa has proven to be the most
consistently profitable for the west
ern farmer.
Alfalfa production goes hand in
hand with live stock feeding. AS
the practice of pen lot or corral
feeding of cattle and lambs deve-
lops, there is a greater demand for
alfalfa hay. Dairy cattlcmen in the
more thlcklv populated districts are
extensive users of alfalfa, as land
ralucs are often too high to permit
pasturing. Incidentally. rapid cN-
Iransion of the rabbit industry has
greatly broadened the market for
the choicest alfalfa.
We are too often prone to place an
exaggerated value ON the value of
an oil well or mine. Real wealth lies
in an acre of ground, from which
year after year, generation after
generation, wealth may be taken
providing that we are consideratc
enough of the soil to put back some
of the elements that we take away
with each crop. In the irrigated
sections. there is a tendency towards
speciality production and not enough
attention paid to crop rotation ana
soil enrichment. 4 hard pan de-
velors and the value of the soil Is
greatly diminished. Nothing wilt
break through this hard pan to bet
ter advantage than alfalfa roots,
which also aid in the reiuvenatin2
the soil. Cotton growers should pay
particular heed to this plan if they
would continue to pick paying crops.
This also opens the way for live
stock production, which means fur
ther enrichment of the soil and adds
regular cash income.
The editor of a middle western
farm paper recently made the state

There is no cheaper form of pork
production than combination of
alfalfa pasture and some grain, and
pork production is one of the crying
economic needs all over the west,
where the demand for pork is far
in excess of supply, necessitating
importation of pork to the Pacific
coast from farms 1000 to 1000
miles distant Alfalfa alone must
not be depended upon to produce
pork, however. as some grain should
be fed from the time the pig is q

Christmas is a time of joy for the old as well as for the young. If it Is given only to youth to en- joy many of the pleasures that Christmas brings. age finds it's compensation in the wealth of the memories that the day awakens. At no other time does such hallowed and lovely remembranees of days that are past stir the heart. Again. we live in the land of childhood: We reyei in it's happy. carefree hours.s we stand before candlelit Christmas trees that thrilled us in the long ago With swift steps we travel across the bridge of time and space and clasp hands with those of other years. Again we live happy hours of comrade- ship and understanding that were ours.
 Through the years we may have forgotten how rich we were; we may have failed to recall the many  lovely joys that have come to us through the years. But at Christ mas it is different. Absent friends and joys, as well as those that are near, bring us joy and cheer. Even those who have passed into the land beyond seem to be with Us today; the power of love and memory seems to have pierced the veil that hid them from our view Dear and half-forgotten memories of hours we spent with them bring them very close.
 Yes, Christmas holds much for the old And it's greatest gifts are for those who have laid up treas- ure of lovely memories day by day. katherine Edelman.

His feet were resting on a little footstool from his granddaughter; in his mouth was briar pipe from his grand son. and on his lap a first edi- tion of Tom Sawyer from his son. He was clad in a velvet loung ing robe from one of his daugh- ters. and under his white beard could be seen a new Christmas tie and the edges of Il new silk shirt Comfortable looking slip pers adorned his feet. and a new reading glass was in his hand.
