market, the greatest alfalfa mar
ket in the u. IS. Alfalfa hay is
worth about $40 per ton for hogs
at the price of tankage. One ton
of alfalfa hay has the feeding val
ue of SO bushel of shelled corn.
One ton of alfalfa hay has the
feeding value of about so bushel
of barley. One tone of alfalfa hay
has 212 pounds of digestable pro
tein. One tone of alfalfa hay has
about four pounds of iron in it.
One ton of alfalfa leaves has as
much protein in it as 1900 pounds
of bran. Alfalfa leaves have more
vitamins than any other crop that
grows.
Well, these are just a few of the
head line facts.
Is it any wonder that a farmer
UP in Wright county, MINI. says,
eff couldn't grow all the alfalfa
that my stock needs, I would quit
farming" And also in almost the
same breath he says, alfalfa
made it possible Tor me to make
$1,000 more from my dairy cows,
for the year 1927. That is why I
say we and everybody should sup
port the can Acre of Alfalfa for
Every Cow" movement.
Is it any wonder that farmers
get double yields of other crops as
well. Is it any wonder that pigs
squeal for it, cows give up more
and richer milk for it, sheep live
and thrive to old age on it, horses
can work like they never worked
before when fed it, and hens just
lay and cackle and sing all day
long when they have their just
share of this precious grass.
Yet today over 80 per cent of
the alfalfa acreage is west Of the
east border of the Dakotas, Ne
braska and Kansas. And this has
been a fact for about thirty years.
Alfalfa is not natural crop for
the eastern states. But alfalfa we
must have if we are to get the
profits that we need to keep pace
with the times. Especially the
increased costs of our new plain
of living.
The farmers who have alfalfa
will profit more and give to the
coming generations richer and
weed free soil.
Cow testing associations tell us
that the farmer with plenty of al
falfa hay makes at least $22.50
more profit per year from the av-
erage COW when he has alfalfa for
his COWS than when he did not
have it.
Hog raisers have proven that
for health and economic hog rails
ing alfalfa is essential. With al
falfa pastures a 225 pound hog
can be made out of a pig in thirty
days shorter time.
All live stock needs protein and
the cheapest way for the farmer to
get it for them will prove more
profitable, it must be concluded.

past three years throughout the

ALFALFAH WONDER
CROP SAYS HUTCH

Farm Will Pay Surprising
Dividends
CHANGES LOSS TO GAIN
Average Farm Income Can Be
Increased at Least $1,000
Per Year
CHANGES LOSS TO GAIN

Alfalfa, the wonder Crop" is
your and our greatest hope. AL
falfa will change loss to profit. Al
falfa will put you on the right road
if you will give it a square deal,
and make you and your farm a
greater asset to your community,
county and state. If you don't
use alfalfa someone else will and
they will produce butter fat cheap
err, pork cheaper, eggs cheaper,
ceef cheaper, mutton cheaper and
horses stronger and also their land
will later on yield bigger and bet
ter crops of corn, wheat, rye, bar
ley, flax, potatoes, root crops and
whatever they plant. Alfalfa will
help them kill out weeds as quack
grass, sow and Canada thistle.
Yes! Here is the crop that will
rebuild worn out soil to better
than it was in its. virgin state, if
you have the alfalfa growing in
it's proper way, because it will
then get it's nitrogen from the air
and the other plant food elements
from soil away down in the ground
where other crops cannot or would
never reach. You will be farming
different farm with alfalfa than
you are farming today.
'fPretty strong" I can hear some
say. you're right old fellow"
comes the quick response for those
who have had alfalfa growing
long enough to see it operate for
them and theirs.
Anyway it is from the eNper-
fences of thousand of Middle West
farmers here in Minnesota tell me
they would never have believed
that such results could be secured.
1t makes no difference whether
they are feeding dairy cows. sheep,
pigs, chickens, colts or the soil.
Seeing is believing.
Alfalfa hay is cheap at $25 per
ton when oats are selling for so
cents per bushel.
Alfalfa hay is equal ton for ton
of bran-what is it worth today
Alfalfa hay is worth at least ten
times the value of wild hay, any
day. Alfalfa hay-No. / extra

per ton on the Kansas City hay

Northwest prove that with plenty
of alfalfa for all live stock an
average of from $500 to $1,000
(and up) more profit comes with
the alfalfa. What a fine thing for
the farmers, who have it. But
there is not one-fifth enough. We
lost S80,000,000 in Minnesota
last year because we did not have
"An Acre of Alfalfa for Every
Cow"
What a wonderful thing it would
have been for every community,
county and the entire state. No
other crop can help like alfalfa
can. 1t is the only crop that
farms the lower soils, reaches high
in the air and gets its own nitro
gen, kills out troublesome weeds
and almost keeps on forever grow
ing in the same old place. There
is secret to it all. This will be
the purpose of the nine articles
that are to follow. I have Sc
cured the facts from farmers who
are succeeding with alfalfa on
all kinds of we'll drained soils in
the Northwest. 1 hope that others
can do what they have done when
the truth is unfolded in an under
standing way.

McGrath Claims
He Took Drink
With Sen. Curtis
By United Press Leased Wire

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 90 -
James j. McGrath, attorney, came
into the national presidential cam
paign today as the man who said
he took a drink with Senator Cur
It's, Herbert Hoover running mate.
MeGrath said Robert B. Ennis,
Democratic leader, took drink at
the same time. Ennis denied get
ting the drink from Senator Curtis.
Senator Bruce, who told of Curtis
having a generous hip flask at the
Pimlico race track, explained the
story had come to him from man
who had a drink from the flask.
McGrath, who, in written state
ment sustained Bruce, was called a
" wilful, malicious and deliberate
liar' when Curtis was shown the
statement at Omaha last night.
Bruce attacked Curtis at the same
time he charged Herbert Hoover
with drinking. The Hoover story
collapsed when Clarence Darrow,
quoted as authority for it, denied he
ever made such statement, al
though the statement had been pub
lished in newspaper.

NOTE ON NAVAL
ARMS QUESTION
TO BE- DELIVERED
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Amer-
lea s replies to Great Britain and
France on naval arms questions
were sent to the American embassies
in London and Paris today, it was
learned in an authoritative quarter.
The replies will be delivered to the
foreign offices of the two govern
ments shortly after they are re-
ceived by the embassies.
Two notes are involved, instead
of one, it was said, the administra-
tion having decided to send sep
arate replies to the British and
French. While not identical, the
rotes are understood to parallel
each other in all essential respects,
botr unqualifiedly rejecting the
Anglo French agreement as a basis
for renewed naval arms discussions,
it is understood. Both replies go
into considerable detail in explain
ing the American position on naval
disarmament with respect to cruis-
crs and submarines.
