SUCCESSFULLY GROWN ON ALL LANDS Men Who Have Made it a 8 Thelr Methods of P Ing the Ground and Sow. Ing the Seed. ndy © Hne r- (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 20.—(Special.)—The agricultural experiment station of the Uni- versity of Nebraska has issued a bulletin detailing experiences and results of ex- periments with alfalfa. During the winter Just past a 1ist of between 600 and 700 names of successful alfalfa ralsers was collected and to each person was sent a report blank calling for a definite statement regarding the proceses he empioyed in obtalning his stand and of his subsequent care of the crop. There were 288 stands reported upon upland and 278 upon bottom land. Even in the western portion of the state the amount of alfalfa on the upland is shown to be considerable and satisfactory results are evidently obtained, although naturally the yleld of hay s smaller than on the bottom lands of that region. In the eastern part of the state somewhat heavier yields appear to be obtained from bottom land, but loss from winter killing or other cause is greater. Twenty-three re- ports state that upland is more satisfactory than bottom land. These come principally trom the eastern portion of the state or the irrigated land of the western portion. An astonishing feature of the replies is the large amount of alfalfa that they show to be growing on land with a olay subsoll Sandy clay, clay loam, clay and lime, ete. were not counted as clay. In spite of this limitation, 245 clay or gumbo subsoils are reported. A clay or even a gumbo subsoil does not appear to be a barrier to success- tul alfalfa culture. Method of Preparing Soil. The seed bed was prepared by plowing and further working In 373 cases and by disking or cultivating In seventy-five. Among the latter is one method that ap- pears to be popular and satisfactory. This consists In thoroughly disking corn land After all trash has been removed from the field. In the western part of the state there are a humber of good stands of al- falfa obtained by breaking prairie sod, disk- ing it and harrowing In the seed; also by disking thé unbroken sod And harrowing in the seed. The latter commends itself as an easy way of supplementing the native grasses in pastures. The tendency to dls- pense with plowing on unirrigated land in- creases with the distance westward from the Missouri. A study of the dates of sowing alfalfa seed In the spring shows a range from early March to late June, although where advice was volunteered it was practically unani- mous in faver of egrly sowing. There were only eight reports of summer qr fall sow- ing, of which one was sown in July, four in August and three in September. crop was used, ed was sown out any other crop. The use of the crop was largely confined to extreme ern Nebraska and the irrigated land of the west. Many persons who used a nurse crop say that they would not do so again. It has been recommended to use a light seeding of small grain, sown earlier or with alfalfa, to prevent damage by severe winds. ‘When sown in this way the nurse crop is mown when elght or ten inches high, to prevent it smothering the alfalfs In fifty-five cases the ed was put with a drill and in 447 cases it sown broadcast. dication that if a drill is not available a satisfactory stand can be entained by broadcasting and barrowlng In, provided the other comditions favorable. Amount of Per Abpe. There were 138 reports of less than twenty pounds of seed per acre belng used, and 336 reports of twenty pounds or more being sown. The evidence seems to be in favor of the use of at least twenty pounds of seed per acre. Of the persons replylng to the Inquirles 221 have stands of alfalfa that yleld more than four tons of cured hay per acre each season, while- 167 do not get as much as four tons of hay per acre. Of persons having practiced disking al- falfa in the spring or at other times, 138 report that bereficlal results have been obtained, while seven report that disking has been ineffective or injurious. By disk- ing alfalfa is meant going over it In the spring with a disk harrow before growth starts, or during summer immediately after cutting for hay, It is customary to set the disks at a slight angle. This cuts the erown root and stirs the soll. Some of the correspondents prefer harrowing to diskin, Wh'rn positive objection was made to disk- It was based on the clalm that It uul!d the crowns to become diseased. The areat bulk of the evidence wi however, in favor of disking. Of the persons who have manured alfalfa either by /plowing in the manure imme- dlately befo: eeding or by spreading it on the fleld after a stand had been obtained, 110 obtained benefigial results, and thirteen found it to be ineffect) T injurious. COUNTY CONVENTION CALLS Getting while with- nurse east- This Coming Fa GRAND ISLAND, Neb, April 20.—(Spe- clal.)—At the meeting of the Hall county republican central committee yesterday, all but two of the country districts were rep- resented, and all but two of the city dis- tricts. It was decided to call the county convention for the selection of delegates to the state and congressional conventions on June 7, the congressional convention for the Fifth district being called for the 10th. At this convention a time will be fixed for the nominating convention, and a central committee chosen and organized.

Both Senator Mason and Representative Blakeney declare that it | will require small effort on thelr part to pass it, as consideration in committee will | scarcely require more than five minutes of time. Representative Grosvenor of Ohlo is mak- ing a strong effort to get through con- gress at this sesslon, what is known as| the Hoar-Grosvenor anti-injunction and an- ti-conspiracy bill. This bill is far-reaching in its effects as it will restrict and regulate, by limiting the meaning of the word con- spiracy, the use of restraining orders in strikes without giving ald or encourage- ment to law breaking. Every combina tion, agreement, and conspiracy to do any unlawful act, criminal when committed by one person, that will interfere with or ob- struct interstate commerce will be illegal, and the making of such an agreement or combination will remain an offense. All eriminal and unlawful acts committed or threatened. in restraint of such commerce will be enjoinable the same as now. The advocates of the bill say its enactment will give assurance to laboring men; that they will not be subjected to injun-tions and restraining orders and contemp. pro- ceedings for alleged disobedience to orders of m court, couched in legal and iniricate phrase, to which they have never intended disobedience and at times when they have not done any act except to counsel with thelr fellow workmen and agree on a course of action In contemplation of or during trade disputes. “This bill,” said Mr. Grosvenor, “will permit men In large bodies, in the employ of railroads and transportation companies doing an interstate business, to combine or agree to quit work when by so acting they do not knowingly endanger or destroy life or property. Such agreements or combina- tions by employes can no longer be enjoined or restrained. Therefore the employes of raflroads doing an interstate business may combine or agree as bodies or in large bodles combine as & body or In large bodies to abandon the company in violation of their Individual contracts to work for it if a trade dispute between the company and its em- ployes be pending or even contemplated Such combinations can not be enjolned or restrained for the reason: First, the agree- ment or combination, now a crime, ls by the bill pronounced not a crime; second, “such agreement, combination, or contract” is no longer to be “considered as in re- straint of trade or commerce,” and third, nor shall any restraining order or injunc- tion be lssued with relation thereto.” The committee on the judiclary has reported the bill to the house with a strong recom- mendation that it be passed. New Building to Be Costly. The proposed state, judicial and execu- tive bullding will be one of the most costly tederal bulldings in Washington. According to present plans it will cost almost $7,000,- 000 exclusive of site, and it will surprise no one if the limit is raised from time to time in course of its construction until the aggregate appropriation far exceeds that amount. The site selected fs the square on Pennsylvania avenue opposite the State, War and Navy bullding and one of the finest In the city for a government building. The bill authorizing the con- struction of the new building was intro- duced early this sesslon of congress, but it was not reported to the senate from the committee on public buildings and grounds until last Saturday. The delay of the com- mittee In reporting it was caused by an uncertainty, as to whether offices for the president should be provided. As reported to the senate, It not only makes provison for executive offices, but for the holding of large official receptions by the president that would overtax the White House. The White House was constructed and oc- cupled In November 1800. It was rebullt in 1829, When first occupled the country had a population of 5250,000. The fact that 100 years have elapsed and that the population {s approximately fifteen times as great would seem to afford argument for glving to the president additional accom- modations. The subject of enlarging the White House or providing space elsewhere in the vieinity for the force of clerks and an office for the president in which he might transact his official business, resery- ing to his family and himself some meas ure of domestic privacy, has been a sub- ject of officlal recommendation from time to time. By providing for the State department in the new bullding the War and Navy de- partments will be enabled to occupy to good advantage the space thus to be vacated. The secretary of war recentls sent to the sendte committee a letter which directs at- tentlon to the over-crowded condition of the War department. President Shows Independence. The independence of President Roosevelt in the making of federal appointments con- tinues a subject of comment among mem- bers of congress.

CONTEST FULL OF FUN AND GINGER | Base Hits, B Mingle in Profa Crowd is Well ra and Bright Plays on and Great Immennely Pleased. Before a crowd of 4,000 people at Vinton Street park, Sunday afterncon, the Saints from the south out-errored the Rourke Rangers, but they aleo outgeneraled and outbatted them, ro the visitors won at once victory and vindication by a score of 7 to 5, the breathless defeat of Saturday being thus revenged. From go to gone the game was one of in- tense interest, despite the errors that checkered its career. This can be under- stood when it {s noted that the score shows a double shutout in the first, a tie in the | second, a tie in the third, a lead for St Joseph In the fourth, a lead for Omaha in the fifth, a double shutout in the sixth, a lead for St. Joseph in the seventh, more scores for the visitors in the elghth, and strenuous attempts by Omaha in the ninth to save the day, resulting in a sensational home run and two scores, but falling short of the required salvation by as many more, Little Peter Burg was there with his two hits, as usual, one a three-bagger, but he demonstrated more clearly than ever that he is not fast enough or sufficiently ex- perienced to play an outfield for “Pa's Pete” up to the standard set by the other two garden guards or by the inner circle habitues. All three of the triple hits which are credited to the Saints landed in his territory, and a Genine would surely have landed at least two of them, while Peter also let Ball to first In the seventh by miss- ing his fly, which he could easily hAve caught and héld had he started for it sooner. Taking those features into consideration, Owen threw a great game for Omaha, and was not In any sense responsible for the defeat. Thomas clmched the job as perm- anent eecond catcher when he batted for Gonding in the ninth and poled out a home run that ecored Hickey as well. Score: 8T. JOSEPH AB. PRS- Belden, If. Roth, e.

The president’'s most recent manifestations of this indifference was in the case of Eugene F. Ware of Kansas, whom MHe selected as the successor of H. Clay Bvaws, commis- sioner of pensions. Mr. Roosevelt did not consult the republican seaater from Kan- sas, Mr. Burton, and th ppoint Ware Instead, he appointed Ware and then con- sulted Mr. Burton, much to the chagrin of the senator. Ware's name had not been mentioned for the commissionership and when the announcement that he would be appointed reached Mr. Burton the latter wis amazed. Burton, who Is a new sena- tor, has very extravagant ideas of the enatorial prerogative in the distribution of tederal patronage. That the president should appoint a Kan republican to the com- missionership of pensions, by far the most important federal position that has gone to without so much as even intima he intended to do so, was a sur- and & shock from which the senator bas not yet recovered. He acquiesced with a8 much grace as pessible, however, and will not oppose the confirmation of Mr Wars nomination when it comes before the senate. The president has also failed to consult other semators in the selection of ofcials and In some Instances his thoughtlessness has created displeasure which threatened complications, but which ended by the statesmen at the capitol swal lowing their wrath and falling in with the president's program.

About sixty members and their families and friends were present, in- cluding a number from Omaha. The course of study for the society is wpon the war in the west and the papers read last even- Ing were in regard to events of which the usual histories contain but little informa- tion. Senlor Vice President Charles §. Lo- bingier presided. The program consisted of a song, 'The 8wOrd of Bunker HIll,"" by Miss Maur Mur- rell; a paper, “Henry Hamilton,” and the “Beginnings of the Northwest” by C. M.

BLAIR, Neb., April 20.—(Special Tele- gram.)—On last Tuesday evening Mayor W. D. Haller and the newly elected city coun- cil were installed into office and striet or- ders were glven to the police last night to enforce every ordinance of the city, and especially those pettaining to Sunday clos- ing of the saloons and gambling rooms. This is the result of the fight made upon Mr. Haller's re-election as mayor, the Sun- day closing of the saloons and gambling rooms being the main issue brought against him by & majority of the saloon men. The only thing on tap today is soda water, even the public drinking fountains not being turned on until moon. This is the first strictly dry Sunday that Blair has experi- enced for a number of years, and many calls were turned in gt the drug stores for alcobol and bottled appetizers, which were promptly turned dowr. It is reported that several fishing parties were abandoned for want of snake bite medicine. Those in- terested still smile, however, and clalm that it 18 only a spurt of the new administration, but Mayor Haller has signified his deter- mination to have his orders enforced or change his police force.
