A Profitable Crop of Alfalfa Raised Near Mitchell, S. Dak.

From Frank Kenton, a former Jasper county man who Is now living near Mitchell, S. Dak., we have received a copy of the Mitchell Daily Republican of Jan. 31st, which tells of a wonderful success obtained by John Myers, near Mitchell, with alfalfa. Mr. Myers raised 20 acres of affalfa, which was put out some years ago by W. A. Wheeler, formerly of the South Dakota Agricultural College. Mr. Myers thrashedtmt the last alfalfa crop and marketed the seed in one load, although it weighed 5,931 pounds. For It he received the splendid sum of sl,oosi:3o, which is a little better than sso| per acre. Ttye paper shows thjt ibe/ten-year wheat average in that state is 12.6 bushels per acre and that had Mir. Myers raised wheat on that basis his crop would have been worth no more than $239.40. This argues strongly for alfalfa as a profitable crop for that section of South Dakota.

The funeral of Mrs. Edward Cain will be held at the Catholic church tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock. The funeral of O. O. Hammerton will be held at the M. E. church Sunday afternoon. Rev.

Silas Adams, charged with having “whiteeapped” Harvey McFarland, a" farmer, last May, was found guilty by a jury at Bloomington yesterday. Three of the jurors are members of the of the University of Indiana. The cases of Six others held on the same charge will not come up until the March term of court. The death rate in New York state for 1911 was the lowest evei* recorded, while the number of births and marriages increased substantially, according to the annual report of the state commissioner of health. The death rate was 15.5 a 1,000 population, as against 16.1 for 1910. Births exceeded deaths by 75,300; Immediate steps to bring about a rigid enforcement of the state law prohibiting Greek letter societies in the high schools of Indianapolis is promised as a result of a careful investigation which revealed the existence of twenty-three such organizations In the Manual Training ahd Shortrldge schools.
