ALFALFA CAMPAIGN SPREADING RAPIDLY Auto Carrying Instruction Di recily to the Fiald Growing of Alfalfa Is Made Possible on Every Farm in the Corn Belt [By Douglas Malcolm, of the I H C Service Bureau.] Within the past week the first auto mobile alfalfa campaign the world has ever known was carried on in Kent County, Michigan, by the re cently organized Kent County Alfal fa Growers’ Association. The big “Automobile Special,’’in direct charge cf the Grand Rapids Association of Commerce, was marked as the initial effort of the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Har vester Company of New Jersey to car ry out their avowed purpose of establishing alfalfa on every farm in the Corn Belt. Professor Perry G. Holden, the well-known lowa corn expert, whose services were recently secured by that Company, and Fed eral Agent J. H. Skinner of the I nited States Department of Agricul ture, were the chief missionairies of this wonderfully profitable but sadly Prof. Perry G. Holden addressing ths farmers cf Kent Co’ n i y, Mich., from back steps cf a farm house. neglected forage crop. A systematic canvas from farm to farm, grange to grange, and oftentimes from field to field was made in an effort to bring to the farmer in his own home the facts and figures which have been stored up in the pamphlets and archives of the agricultural schools ind colleges. Taking part in the campaign, either in an advisory capacity or as speak ers, were the following members of the Agricultural Extension Depart ment: C. M. Carroll, formerly with the Crop Improvement Committee; W. R. Baugham, a prominent rancher and alfalfa grower of Texas; J. E. Wag goner, formerly of the Mississippi Agricultural College; R. W. Lamson of Iowa; J. E. Buck of Chicago; C. W. Farr, assistant county superintendent of Cook County, Illinois: the Hon. G. H. Alford of Georgia, and C. H. Allen, a retired banker of Ohio. That the farmers were ready for the blessings which alfalfa strews over a neighborhood which gives it a neighborly welcome, was evidenced everywhere by the crowds that greeted the campaigners at every stop. At no time were any of the speakers without an encouraging au dience, and on some occasions the party was obliged to divide, a part ad dressing the school children while others spoke to the farmers. The ad vent of the cortege into a community was made Alfalfa Day in the schools. In the towns the children paraded out to meet the autos, singing special al falfa songs and waving flags. It is estimated that between three and four hundred farmers in that one county alone pledged themselves to make a start with alfalfa and do it according to the rules laid down by Federal Expert J. H. Skinner. Kent County, in the census of 1910, was credited with raising only 73 acres of alfalfa, but all indications at the present time are that by 1915 there will be 10,000 acres flourishing with this legume. It was shown that on the typical sand or clay loams east of the Mississippi alfalfa could be raised as easily and as surely as clover yielding three crops a season and that it was the greatest plant the farm world has yet discovered for extracting nitrogen from the air and storing it up in the soil, thus re juvenating run down and over-crop ped farms. The Corn Belt farmer in alarm at his annually diminishing yields, is turning to alfalfa as his one great hope, and the bugle call sounded in Kent County is re-echoing in the en tire eastern states. As we go to press, a similar campaign is going on in Allegan County, Michigan; the To ledo Commercial Club is about to wage a powerful alfalfa propaganda in the ten western counties of Ohio. Feelers have been put out by the Connecticut agriculturists for turning the entire I 11 C Agricultural Exten sion Department batteries on that state for a state-wide campaign to in troduce alfalfa on the seaboard. Its jjpssibilities seem to be unlimited, and the prospects are that by the ney| census the leadership in alfalfa acre age and production may be wrested from the western states and the crown placed upon the brow of the 'Wldle west and eastern farmer. 16 KILLED IN MINE TWO EXPLOSIONS TRAP MINERS AT BELLE VALLEY, O. Members of Rescue Parties Lose Lives —Others May Be in Workings— Four Fatally Injured. Belle Valley, 0., May 19. —Sixteen men were killed, four others fatally in jured and the lives of 15 more imper iled in two explosions which occurred in the Imperial mine of the O'Gara Coal company. One of the men killed was a member of the first rescue party which entered the mine immediately * after the first explosion occurred. The other mem bers of the party were trapped a mile from the mouth of the mine by the sec on explosion. A second rescue party failed to locate the men who were alive, ewing to the burning gases in the -workings. A third party of rescu ers entered the workings later and brought out all members of the first party and later found the bodies of the dead miners oxer a mile and a half from the mouth. ft is believed that a number of other miners were in the workings at the time the explosions occurred, but their fate cannot be determined until after the arrival of the state rescue crew, which is now on its way here. Among those killed are Harry Dudley, thirty two, assistant superintendent; Robert Alton, thirty-three, night boss, and Henry Fairhurst, twenty-five, a res cuer.
