Vol.8 Shortage oi Paper Stock is Serious Washington :--Shortage of pa ier stock was discussed at a con ference between Secretary Red ield and Charles A. Holder, of the foreign trade advisor's office. France'? embargo on the ex port of rags has caused many American manufacturers to fear that they may have to curtail production of their mills. The department has begun sending out one million circulars to be posted in postoffices and else where throughout the country urging that paper and old rags be saved. The commerce de partment promises to put those who have papers and rags in touch with manufacturers. a e s o o e e a n trade associations have been ask «d to co-operate. In conjuction with the above the Herald wishes to impress upon the people of this city the fact that in the course of a few years thousands of dollars worth of rags and old paper are de stroyed in Lemmon. If some church or society would gather and ba le the waste paper it would serve not only in conserv ing a large annual waste but also benefit financially. In the Her aid office alone hundreds of pounds of waste paper are de stored every month.

In an interview he gave the follow ing concerning his experience in Adams county: started growing alfalfa 8 years ago and has secured a crop °f hay and a crop of seed every ytar, tho the seed production was light this year. Wheat has dur ing this time given two complete failures, two light crops, two ^fair crops and two heavy crops, 60 a the alfalfa has shownup exceedingly well. He states hat e first year that he produced seed he did not care to run it thru the threshing machine so he -'ailed it out and ran it thru a corn crusher and then thru the •anning mill, which worked out \ery well.

They point out that the heaviest tax payers in Sioux county live in the southern part of the county, and that the new county seat, being located on the transconti nental line of the Milwaukee, which passed through Morns town. If the Morristown plan succeeds, there is a possibility, later on, of Morristown beinfr virtually the couuty seat of two counties, as the Morristown boosters are fostering a move ment for the division of Corson county in such a way that Mor ristown would become the coun ty seat of the new county. New Developments Concerning Tow Mill The great shortage of paper materials has created a demand which it seems there is only one thing that can supply and that is flax tow and it will not be sur prising that in the course of a lew years flax straw will be worth double what it is at the present time. Therefore the Hkkald thinks that it is imperative to get the flax tow mill located at Lemmon. The proposition has been dis cussed pro and con for the past two months, but as yet no de finite action has been taken. Let us get up and be doing something on the proposition and get this industry, which will be a cog in the commercial growth of the United States as a result of the gigantic European conflict. Should this industry locate in the city it will pave the way for other and larger industries which will in the course of time make Lemmon not only the commer cial center of the Trans-Missouri Empire, but also the manufac turing center. Boost for Lem mon and boost for the United States by boosting for indurtries hat not only conserve a large annual wastage, but relieves our country from dependency upon foreign countries for raw ma terials. tine seed.| Mr. Bobb finds that the seed has been averaging a little better than two bushels per acre, and as the lowest, price received was 60 cents and oftentimes higher, which means that the lowest re turns have been $72 per acre lor the seed. The first crop he cuts for hay and feeds. He finds that the crop of hay pays for all the work, so that the seed crop is all pure gain. He has at the pres ent time 130 acres of alfalfa in 36-inch rows and 20 acres sown broad cast which he is going to use for a hog pasture. He does not find it profitable to sell allal* fa hay, but feeds it to beef cat tle. hogs and poultry. In this way he secures at least $lu per ton and as the first crop averag es about a ton per acre, it is easy to say that this will amply pay for the cost of producing two crapa of alfalfa.

One thing that made it hard for the home team was the fact that they had not been used to playing in a high hall, where they could make long shots for the basket. The Aberdeen for wards would stand in the center of the floor and shoot fur basket.1 and as luck would have it, make them The Jjemtnon team would wait until they were close to their basket before shooting in stead of taking a chance from i distance The Lemmon boyi were in possession of the bah over half the time and aftei try ing to make baskets several times and not succeeding, they became discouraged.
