Sent Winfred the Proof.

Charlie Pullins was in Saturday from Barkley tp., and brought in several stalks of alfalfa, one of which measured 38 inches in length. It was from his field on the old Dr. Washburn place at the west side of town. He. has 20 acres of alfalfq on his farms in Barkley, and the fields are now in bloom and ready to cut. A few weeks ago Charlie got a stalk of alfalfa from his son Winfred who is farming in Mississippi, nieasuring 20 inches in length, and Winfred wanted to know if his father had any stalks that long here? Winfred said his crop would bring $25 per acre. Charlie sent Winfred the 38-inch stalk as evidence that Jasper county can go Mississippi one better on alfalfa.
