Davalls’ Ninety Acre Alfalfa Yield Sets a New Mark for Crop Values'in Bates County. “A ninety acre tract of Bates county land produced a crop this season worth over ninety dollars per acre, and this in spite of the severe drouth which reduced the yield of corn to below an average of five bushels to the acre. And this seeming miracle was accomplished with a crop which the average farmer contends cannot township, accompanied by his daugh-|.be grown in Bates country soil,— alfalfa, W. F. Duvall has been one of the few who contend that alfalfa may be successfully grown here and during the past three years he has proceeded to conclusively demonstrate that his theories were sound. Every year he has met with success with his alfalfa crop but this year’s yield, in the face of one of the worst drougths in the history of the county, is so remark- able that it demands publication. Mr. Duvall’s figures on§the yield of this crop which are very conservative places the value as follows: Yield of hay $45.00 per acre; yield of seed crop, 5 to 6 bushels to the acre which at the least calculation is worth $7.50 per bushel or $37.50 per acre; value of threshed hay $10 per acre or a total value of $92.50 per acre for the full ninety acres for this season’s crop. These figures are not guess work, but are the actual records of the yield. In discussing that subject Mr. Du- vall remarked ‘‘My alfalfa ground owes me nothing. We may truth- fully add that if the farmers of the county will profit by his experience the county at large will be deeply in his debt. Major F. H. Crowell was elected president, C. H.
