ALFALFA RA ISED ON JASPER COUNTY SOIL

Almost Any Soil Will Grow ftSome Precautions In Selecting the Kind Best Adapted.

It was only a few years ago that no one believed alfalfa could be raised closer than Kansas or Nebraska. Then after it was successfully established in a limited way at different places in the county the opinion was it could never be a general crop from the supposed fact that only a few types of soils could produce it. But now <we have come to 'believe that there is but ft small percentage of Jasper county but can be made to raise it. The word “made” in that statement should not be overlooked. In selecting land for alfalfa the beginner will do well to be governed largely by the performance of corn upon the ground in Question. Keeping in mind that the . drainage ! should be such as would prevent there being standing water on it in winter, and as the air is warmer than water the dryer land will be warmer and start the plant earlier in springtime.; Every type of soil in Jasper county can be made to grow it, excepting possibly the peat or muck Which will most certainly heave It out badly in winter. Land that produces forty or more bushels of corn per acre and is sufficiently drained regardless of whether it be clay, loam, black loam, sandy loam or sand should not be difficult to set in alfalfa. Plants, lake animals, can not do their best without a balanced ration and in this respect they are even at a disadvantage as compared to animals, from the fact that animals hate the power of locomotion while plants are stationary, and iif the required plant foods are not in reach of the plants it is the business of the farmer to place them there. While the lands of the arid west have the advantage of us in the matter of lime, phosphoros and potassium, they pay dearly for

Newspapers Lead As Advertising Medium.

The report of a special investigating committee presented to the national electric light and power convention at Philadelphia June 4, indicated that, even in an. industry whidh is constantly growing and which now involves about three million dollars in capital, newspaper advertising is regarded As absolutely essential to prosperity and development. The report was read by P. H. Kemble, of Cincinnati, manager of the electrical commercial. department of the Union Gas and Electric Company, as chairman of the association's special’committee on merchandising and advertising. “Every central station must ’advertise in order to grow,” said Mr. KemMe. “Yearly or semi-annual advertising appropriations should be decided upon. Use all newspapers, but concentrate on those giving the best audience “Limit the advertisement to one idea. Spend time and money to get the copyright, regardless of the cost of getting the argument into the mind of the reader. Advertise continuously.” Newspapers were placed first among all advertising mediums by Mr. Kemble, whose suggestions were based on long investigations in all parts of the country made at the special request of the organization. • ——-

In many localities of the west alfalfa seldom sells for more than five dollars per ton and after all it’s the dollar that counts. In this respect we have them beaten a country block.

CAN COUNTY AGENTS HOLD ON REGARDLESS?

That la, Regardless of Whether the County Connell Appropriates Money For Tuem.

Some time ago the county council in session in Rensselaer decided that it would not appropriate money for the hiring of a county agent. Money previously appropriated was to employ an agent to June 30th onlyL-Oounty Agent O. G. Barrett will sever fife connection with the work at that time unless a decision by the supreme court sustains the contention of the county agents that it is mandatory on the council to appropriate the money.

The law says that they “shall” make the appropriation and a judge in Fountain county held it to be unconstitutional on the ground that it gives the council and the public no option in the matter. The case went up to the supreme court from Fountain county. That county is the home of J. A, Stahl, who as a member of the legislature fathered the measure providing,, for the employment* ftl the agricultural experts. The case was advanced by the supreme court and a decision is daily expected. If the court should hold that the law is constitutional then it is probable that Mr. Barrett will continue to hold his job and that the coud ty council will be compelled to ap propriate the money for his pay. If it is desirable in any county to change agents the power to do so lies with the board of education, who have the power to make the selection 4 in the first place. Mr. Barrett began work in this county the first of July, 1913.

Report of Union Township Sunday School Convention.

Union township held its annual Sunday School convention as previousfly arranged last Sunday at Fair Oaks. The published program was carried out. Every department superintendent responded with an excellent talk on their line of the work.' All say ft was tha best convention we ever held dn Union. Rev-. Poetill gave an excellent sermon on the Watchfulness of Christ, in which he held his hearers spellbound. The program was enlivened by special readings, solos and other fine music. Fair Oaks has a fine natural park in which the convention was held. The platform and surroundings were fully decorated with bunting, flags, flowers, etc. A row of nice ferns skirted Its front. There were plenty of seats for alh Fair Oaks deserves a great deal of credit for the artistic arrangement A large crowd was present and at the noon hour sat down to one of the beyt dinners the writer ever saw. The north and south precincts of Union have been peeved at each other for some time. Each in the past has tried to secede from the other, but the convention with its fine day and everybody feeling good was a signal to make up and be good. The north and south locked arms and gamboled together like calves of the stall on new made grass. AH this shows that the Spirit of God is mightier than the sword. Fair Oaks all turned out, even the occupants of the poolroom and mourners’ benches came, took seats, stayed all day and looked as sanctimonious as saints of old. Past differences are settled, our troubles o’er, and the rebel rides on his raids no more. In Union is strength. B. D. COMER.

REMINGTON FAVORS NEW INTERURB AN PLAN

’ Resulted in Siting Tog’ih.' of Opposing Parties.

The Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. held a meeting at Remington Saturday night to discuss with the public the proposition of the proposed interurban railroad. R. D. Wynn, who represents the underwriters for the project, was present and addressed the meeting. Mr. Wynn is a diplomat and his fair discussion had the effect to soften the tension that has existed in Carpenter township since the first subsidy election was called there Mr. Wynn explained to the people \Vho attended the meeting that he thought it would be far better to sell stock instead of voting a subsidy in Jordan and Carpenter townships, in view of the fact that the subsidy had been twice voted down in both townships. He made a statement of the plans of the company and suggested that if stock to the value of $50,000 could be sold in Carpenter and Jordan, the election which had been called for July 25th would be recalled. He said that all money secured from the sale of the stock would be deposited in th Bank of Remington and that it would be provided that it could be eheeked out only on vouchers for construction labor and material. B. O. Smith, tresurer of the company, was present, and said that he had received authority from Mr. Love, who brought the suit against several citiens of Carpenter and Jordan townships, alleging libel, to to. Mt. 8. G. Hand, of the Remington bank, was present and gave -his approval to the plan, as also did C. H. Peek, the Remington merchant, who has been one of the most Sitter opponents to the subsidy propositions. It was agreed that the suits in the federal court be dismissed and that the stock plan be taken up at once and Mr. Wynn, who went to Chicago Sunday morning, returned STbe^paM 1 bank, whereat is to remain until it is used for construction and material. It is tne nlan of tne Tnritriir* fe completed.
