FORTIN To William Fortin belongs the honor of delivering the first load of 1923 grain.. Mr. Fortin deli- vered at the Farmers’ Union Warehouse, Saturday’ morning, 50 sacks of winter barley that | averaged 65 bushels per acre. This is the first grain to be) threshed in this section this year. The threshing was done) pjeted the task of chopping or| | rother by John Wasem. The big yield reported by Mr. Fortin, judging from present) prospects will be a common oc- currence around Cottonwood as | soon as the* harvest is in full swing.

CHOPS ALFALFA. J. W. Williams last week com- cutting 150 tons of alfalfa hay. Mr, Williams stated that this was anew way in which he plans to handle his alfalfa hay in the future. The two big advantages in chopping the hay to bits are that it takes the other it has greater feeding value. Mr. Williams has a machine, especially designed for this work and after the alfalfa is chopped it is,tlown into the barn in the same manner that the straw is | blown from a threshing machine. Mr. Williams is one of the heaviest growers of alfalfa in this section. AUTO CARAVAN COMING.
