“ALFALFA KING” TO VISIT OUR CITY

Joseph E. Wing,. Leading Agriculturist, to Give Lecture and Demonstration. Dec. 11. Arrangements have now been completed for the best demonstration and lecture on alfalfa ever held in this part of Indiana. Joseph E. Wing is the. greatest authority on alfalfa in the land and I feel sure we* should consider ourselves lucky to have with us a man of such prominence and a man of so wide learning as is Joe Wing. The demonstration will be held on Ms. C. E. Mansfield’s farm, in his 70-acre field, 7 miles southeast of this city, and the lecture will be given in the new high school auditorium at 7:30 in the evening, on Thursday, Dec. 11th. This is something that no farmer or business man can well afford to miss, for it is one of the best things of this nature that ever eame to this county or neighborhood. There will be several of the staff of Purdue University here to attend the meetings, among them being Prof. G. I. of the extension department, whom you all know, and. others of the staff who are making the trip for the express purpose of hearing Joe Wing talk on alfalfa, and if they come that distance to hear him then surely every man within a radius of several miles should arrange td be at these meetings.
