Mrs. Murrell Sage of Sawyer has been the guest of our popular post mistress, with whom on. Wednesday she journeyed Velva ways. Corn, potatoes, beans, poultry, cows and hogs, as raised Logan ways are admittedly superior and it would now appear that even our pastures possess peculiar merit.

C: Oard one day last week on business bent, journeyed to Saw yer on the Soo, where for many years he was a prominent merchant. But as a wide-awake, progressive individ ual, he was given to discern the won drous possibilities of Logan and trans ferred his affections ana energies. His old assbciates are wont to envy the added prosperity the change of venue afforded and in vain would he tell of the increasing importance of Logan. Several well known commercial men discussing business prospects, quoted proudly elevator returns, but honestly confesed that on the day that pre cede the Sabbath, not one kernel was delivered. Our friend was able to ver ify this painful fact, but of the other five days naught was told. Sad tho it be, truth must out, and when we remember Logan farmers, one-sixth of a million bushels in our one eleva tor, from the surrounding territory, the gldom that pervades the market atmosphere of our defeated neighbors, can be readily understood. But there's a reason. Investigate and get in on the ground floor. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Thompson left on Monday for McComb, Ohio, where they. will make their future home. Mrs. Beebe was the guest of Mrs. Pennewell on Friday ladt. By the way, a painful accident befell Mr. Penne well recently.

Helena, Mont., Dec. 29.—There is an interesting story and a truthful one about the history of Grimm's alfalfa. In 1857 a German farmer and his wife left the Old Country and went to Min nesota to take a claim. They brought with them a small bag of alfalfa seed which they sowed on some well culti vated ground. The alfalfa grew well during the summer and fall, but on examining the crop or what was left of it the fol lowing spring it was found to have winter killed, all but a few stalks. fThose few stalks were permitted to jgo to seed, the pods were gathered iand shelled out by hand. The seed was [sown thd following year when it was I found a much larger percentage of it [withstood the winter. Mr. Grimm and his wife kept up this procedure for ten years, when it I was found they had a crop of alfalfa which did not winter kill. This alfal jfa was called by the neighborhood farmers, Grimm, after the name of the German, and Everlasting, because I it will not winter kill. Several years ago W. M. Williams, 0f the Lookout ranch near Har lom( in Blaine county, (Mont.) secur ed some of this seed directly from the Grimm family, and planted it on his ranch. There is great interest in the Grimm alfalfa, and a Helena paper asked Mr. Williams if he would tell about his crop this year, what it sold for, wjio bought it and the history of Grimm's Everlasting alfalfa In reply Mr. Williams has written of the his tory of the variety as told above, and adds:-' "A draft for $912 has just been re ceived for 1,520 pounds of Grimm al falfa seed, shipped on order of Profes sor Thomas Cooper, secretary and di rector of the Better Farming associa tion of North Dakota, co-operating with the United States department of agriculture at Fargo, N. I). Eight hundred pounds of the same crop were shipped to Professor C. A. Zavits, professor and experimentalist of the department of field husbandry of the Ontario Agricultural college at Guelph, Ont., Canada, at the same price, 60 cents, or $480. The remain der was sold locally, except some 400 pounds kept for next year's seeding. Only twenty acres of the Grimm were cut for seed this year. "Some thirty-five acres of my com mon alfalfa winter killed to practi cally the last stalk. Some six tons to the acre were cut from the field in three cuttings, and the fourth crop grew to be about eight inches high. The next spring the field was perfect ly bare. The ground did not raise and break the roots. The alfalfa seemed to die and rot in the ground. The Grimm was not affected in the least under the same conditions and same age. "The cause seemed to be from the snow melting, completely covering the alfalfa and then freezing solid. The Grimm alfalfa has gone through sev eral seasons under solid ice, and has not been aflected in the least." STRAYED.
