It Is the longest dry spell on record. Anderson & Guild succeeded in getting the stone crusher from Lee to the half acre purchased of C. Kellner on toe south side of the river Tuesday afternoon.

Wilson Schafer is beyond doubt the leading “rejuvenator” of run down property in this city and- as such deserves special credit. It would be a fine thing if Mr. Schafer could spend a year in every property In Rensselaer.

This year he moved .to toe former Zard property near the cemetery and he has been applying himself with the same activity. The result is marvelous. Next year he expects to build a nice new residence just north of the one he now occupies.

There is a lot of fine corn in this section, as may be observed by a trip into the country. In company with Frank Foltz the writer went to Brook via Remington and Goodland yesterday and 'returned by way of the “Old Bunkum” road. We have been blessed with good rains and warm weather and that is the secret of good com. There are other considerations, to be sure; such as careful seed selections, proper fertilisation and careful tending, but nature’s part, the rain and the warmth, has been supplied with generous hand and our splendid farmers seem to have generally taken care of their end of toe work. There is not much wheat in that section but wherever there Is any it is mighty fine. We noticed a field on Charley Sternberg’s farm south of town and another on one of toe George Ade farms north of the river in Newton county. Oats also are looking very good.

He later moved to Cass county and lived there until four years ago, when he moved to Jasper county. Deceased leaves to mourn their loss a wife, one daughter, three sons, six grandchildren, one sister, two brothers and many friends. His death was the cause of sincere sorrow. He was always generous, kind and considerate of others and the memory of his life will be cherished by the family and many friends. He was a member of toes Methodist church, holding his relation to that chureh at the First Methodist church, Royal Center, Ind.

more builds as one that T. 8. Roberts, et el, are proposing to build, but we believe that having reached us some two or three years before Mr. Brown came over toe hill and having shown every characteristic of honesty and earnestness that nothing should be done to place a barrier in the way of toe Roberts company. As between a subsidy and a bond selling plan we believe the subsidy just as fair, especially when six-seventh of the people approve it. It ds, at all events, a poor time to knock a proposition that will glVe to Rensselaer and to Jasper county the greatest boom it has ever enjoyed. The city council and the county commissioners are certainly capable of passing careful judgment on this matter and will pay no heed to toe class of obstructionists who simply want to delay a public enterprise that means so much to our future development.

The distance from Lafayette to Rensselaer is about 47 miles. To comply’ with toe conditions of building tote rood the people between here and Lafayette will have to buy $235,000 worth of bonds. The promoters will, in ail probability, get at least 10 per cent of the sole price; and we understand toot is the amount they ask, so it will be seen that Mr. Elmore, who is toe man who has filed toe Injunction against the placing of the subsidy in Marion township on toe tax duplicate has a motive that might prove very profitable.

ALFALFA DISCUSSED BY LOCAL AUTHORITY

All Farmers Should laarn About This Crop—lt Means a Greater Jasper County. The Republican today publishes toe first of a series of articles by a local authority on alfalfa nad other crops. This one is afcout alfalfa, a crop of such great importance that no farmer can afford not to read and study this article and succeeding ones. The writer will instruct you how to plant alfalfa, how to prepare the soil, inoculate it and how to treat the crop for best results. We believe this article which tells of toe value of alfalfa will enthuse the farmers and stockmen of the county and be the cause of many preparing yet this year to put out a field of alfalfa.-—Editor.

ALFALFA

When we come to consider that the social status of a country grows out of and are determined by the products of the soil, their quality, quantity and methods of production, we are forced to conclude that toe addition of alfalfa to the standora farm crops of Jasper county i* a matter of tremendous importance. Tnere is no other plant that so impresses toe necessity of a high state of soil fertility, and a more sane method of -their application; nor one that pays a higher premium on thorough drainage. It points to the need of lima and favors a lease extending at least five years. That makes possible the production of more and better live stock, produced at a lessened cost. That enables toe farmer to pay a wage that will keep the young man on the farm and give employment throughout toe year. That makes profitable the small farm that with other crops is at a disadvantage as compared to toe larger ones. There is no other plant that forages so deep into the subsoil tor plaint food; nor one that'takes so large amounts of nitrogen from toe air (the most expensive of all the plant foods.) No other plant makes so large a portion of its growth under the ground, that can not be removed by the soil robber and consequently must be held in store for other plants not so well adapted to deep feeding. No other plant so well endures a continued drought. No other plant when combined with corn makes so near a complete balanced ration, No other plant makes a crop so early In the season when feeds are scarce and high priced. Then it directs attention to bacterology, the new science that opens up a wonder world about us and touches human Interests at more points than any other single science, without which even the elementary principles of agriculture can not be understood. Then it appeals to the ascetic sence tor it IS one of the first plants to emerge from the fortress of its sub steraneous vitality and quickly deck the erstwhile" brown and somber earth in rich and verdant green. Then it touches another chord in human nature that has terminals even deeper laid than too sense of beauty, while not so close the heart it Is even closer the bread and butter argument, toe pocketbook chord .None of our standard crops compare with it in dollar returns.

Briefly told, these are some of the reasons why we consider the introduction of alfalfa In Jasper county a matter of tremendous importance. Within the last few months there has been brought in enough seed to plant about 300 acres. Much of it is already planted and looks encouraging. We expect to see the acreage rapidly increased as its value and requirements are better understood. \ It is the one plant that uses all the season, all the soil, all the moisture, all the sunshine, and produces the largest amount of the 'best forage in the shortest time, v' GABPE DIEM. The first passage through the iGhatun locks by an ocean liner was: successfully carried out Monday by the Panama railroad steamship • Alliance, a vessel of 4000 tons. The electric towing locomotives worked well.
