ALFALFA CLUB IN WILL CO., ILL.

For years Will County has had her corn clubs and these have been a potent factor In awakening interest in the new agriculture. Will County stands first in Illinois in the number of acres of corn over the 100 bushels mark. Through the com clubs much knowledge has been obtained, and with the same end in view regarding the alfalfa crop, we have Instituted our Will County Alfalfa Club. One of our leading business men, M. A. E Dlnet of Joliet has donated twenty dollars toward the fund for premiums. There will necessarily be two classes, the old and the new seedlings, and the first, second and third premium will be offered for the three best fields In each class. Rules governing the contest are yet to be dlvlsed. We shall welcome suggestions along this line.—9. C. Grannis, County Agent.
