In an editorial reference to the Orchard confession, the Central Or- cgouion says. "Harry Orchard went on tlie wltne itaml at.Hoic last Wednesday in the Haywood trial ami toM a story which, if xuc, would be enough' to turn ctcry ..tacc-lovtng citizen against the idea of liUor unions forever." . llic Central Oregonian i rather 'lasty in its judgments.

Un Joubtcdlythere arc many members of the Wottcrn Federation of Min ers who vcild condemn with great severity any crime on the part of the officers of their organization. The majority of these miners are law abiding citizens, neither crim inals nor anarchists; they love their home, would fight for their coun try, desire law and justice to domi nate. If they bad known that their officers were planning the murder of innocent men assuming that Haywood, Moyer and Pettiboue arc guilty, which has not yet been proved they most certainly would Lave put a stop to such practices. Of course there arc always men in every organization of any size who would gladly use the bomb, the shotgun, or the assassin's poison when they believe their rights are being tramped upon. But they are but a small minority in the great ...nay of labor. Moyer, Haywood and Pettiboue may be three of the vilest criminals that ever lived. That is no reason at all why all labor unions should be indiscriminately condemned. nn WOMAN'S GRGATEST WORK. President Roosevelt said, in address at Jamestown: "In any community organlxed on really healthy lines the Verac woman will have quite enough to do in her own home.whelUef she is rich or poor, and 'lovhere c!ik ctn she do woU .of sneh ,aluo tc the nation as o whole-ond by ,vorl , I mealjier Jiousework, 1'cr work m housewhe nd mother, and not so ailed 'home Tnduitries." ' The president uttered apat truth, Indeed, when he spoke the above. A few years ago a great wAVe of agitation spread over the country aud much was written aud said about the great opportunities for women in the business world. 'l!bcy argued long and fiercely about woman's wider sphere," about woman's advancement, aud a lot of other silly rot. Many of them tried the "wider sphere" and found more of the bitter of life in it than the sweet. And indeed, the true woman's best instincts and desires , fnr her home. That was the 'tw w -- ,.i,f,r reason for her creation aud and there she can do her greatest ood. W'.ierc, indeed, can you find tttfer glory or greater good, or greater service to mankind than in the life of noble motherhood? YOU AR1S INVITUI). Bend people returning from I'rincvillc report that a very large number of I'rincvillc citizens will be in Bend on the Fouith. The trout barbecue is the chief reason for their coming. And Betid prom ises them a good time. A number of expert libhcrmen have been en gaged to catch thu fish, au ample appropriation has been made for this feature and the fish will be on hand in great numbers. With the music, oration, barbe cue, sports, baseball game, fire works, etc , it is safe to say that Bend will give her visitors oue of the very best celebrations ever seen in Central Oregou. And her hos pitality is unlimited. Everyone is invited aud everyone U urged to come. Every farmer of whom The Bul letin has made inquiry reports that grain and hay crops are doing very well this ycar-and every indication points to a bounteous harvest. The Bulletin correspondents arc report ing the same thing. Each succeed ing year sees better and larger crops in this fertile and pleasant upper Deschutes valley. Homes are multiplying, churchesand school houses are being built, long dis tance and rural telephones arc be ing installed; all indications of a substantial and lasting develop ment. It requires no prophetic vision to see a great future for this favored laud. Problems That Confront The Irrigator. A man well acquainted with the schools of tlie state, and who is not coresident of Bend, recently said that Bend had the best schools cast of the mountains. Two young girl studenis, who have attended other schooUi of high standing, report that they never made such progress as they have id the Bead school. A reputation like this is worth much to any community. That Bend in tends to keep her schools in the forefront of efficiency is shown by the action of the school directors this week when they made pro vision to increase by one Bend's corps df instructors for the coming! school year. In another column appears an interesting letter from Rosland giv ing the news from that busy little burg, and written by one, Reuben Glue. IfReiibin Glue will drop rt line to The Bulletin disclosing hil identity, we would be glad to make arrangements with him to furnish Bulletin readers with a weekly let ter from that place. there she finds her highest glory j street at Bend Card of Thanks. I and my family desire to sincere ly thank those friends who sokfiid ly assisted and freely gave of their time and labor during the ijluess aud death of Mrs. Boyd.'

Vlouil'unncrV.Ihiltriiii No. ). mMIhtt y the I H. lkiuilmtnt of Agncultutt, SOWING WITH A NURHU CKOI'. As n usual thing, at least from the .s(audK)itU of the nlfalfa crop, it is best to sow the nlfalfa alone; but it Is customary in many local ities to sow with ernin. If the con ditions are well suited to the growth of nlfulf.i the stand may not be mat erially injured, nud there is gained the crop ot crain; nlo the weeds are kept down win 0 the alfalfa is getting started. Usually, however there is a los ol alfalfa, the result ing stand being le.vs satisfactory 1 hati when the nlfalfa is sown alone. Whether this lo-.s is sufficiently compensated by the grain crop must be decided bv the grower. If the crop of alfalfa the second year is as good as if it had been sown alone, the grain crop has been gained where the sowing was done in the priug; but if the Maud is injured such a gain would not compensate tor this loss as ,n poor stand can nrely le improved. A more satis factory method, where fall sowing is advisable, is to grow the grain crop in the sprinc ami prepare the soil anew for the alfalfa. In the irrigated districts, especially in cer tain patts of California, barley is oommottly used as a nurse crop. Beardless barley has been rccom ended for use in the Eastern states where a nurse crop is often satisfac tory. Whatever grain is 'used the sowing should be comparatively light, so as not to smother the al falfa. If the grain crop threatens to be too heavy it should be mowed for hay. AMOUNT OI' SKKD AND MKTIIOD Ol' SOWING. The seed may be sown broadcast or with n grain drill. The drill has the advantage of distributing the seed more cvenlv over the surface than is likely to be the case with hand sowing mid of placing the seed at a uniform depth. It has disadvantage of placing the seed too deep unless special precautious arc taken. In dry regions drilling is often an advantage, ns it places the seed in contact with moisture. If drilling is employed in moist soil the snots slioild barely touch the soil. The sred is then covered suf ficiently by the chain, wheel, or other accessory that follows the shoe. Where alfalfa is sown broadcast it is best to use a mechanical sower, such as a wheelbarrow seeder, as the seed is distributed more evenly. The seed should be well harrowed in, or it may be covered by means of a plank drag. The amwtut of seed usually rec ommended is co lbs. per acre when sown broadcast, and a less quantity (about 15 pounds) when sown' with a drill. If the seed is of good qual ity, the soil in fine tilth, and the conditions for germination are fav orable, less than 20 pounds may suffice. Under exceptional condi tions successful stands have been obtained with 5 or 6 pounds. Some growers use more than 20 pounds, even 30 or 35 pounds, but this amount seems excessive, and should be used only when necccssaiy to counteract the effect of poorly pre pared soil or other unfavorable con ditions. Although a thick stand may be au advantage in choking out weeds, yet for the development and subsequent vigor of the plants, it is better to have a thinner but uniform stand, The individual plants then have room to develop a, strong crown with tlie accompany ing' extensive rdot system, j'TftlJATMUNT 6l AN Al,J'AM'A IMHI.D TJIH 1'IUST SJJASON. During the first season following spring sowing the fiejd should be .clipped with a mowing machine at intervals to keep down weeds, it the latter show u tendency to choke out the alfalfa. If this is not necessary and the alfalfa has made a vigorous growth, a light crop of hay may be obtained, or under favorable condi tions even a second crop. In those parts of the South where the condi tions arc favorable fair crops should be obtained the first season after spring sowing. At Uiiiontowu, Ala., three crops have been cut the first season from March seeding. Usually, however, returns can not be cxnected ithe tint season from spring seeding, without irrigation, except in the South, In irrigated districts one or even two or three crops may be obtained the first sea son. Sonic growers pasture during the fall after seeding This is not to Ik recommended as it almost nlways injures the stand, either by the tramping or the close grazing When nlfalfa Is sown in the spring with a nurse crop 110 attention may be necessary after cutting the grain except to clip the weeds if these le come troublesome. In clipping to keep down weeds the cutter bar of the mower should be set high, ns the seedling plants tire injured by close clipping. It is very important, particularly in Northern states, to allow alfalfa to go into winter with good growth nt least 6 inches high. If cut ton late in the fall to grow n good win ter covering it is very apt to buffer from winter killing. If the alfalfa is sown in the fall no attention is likely to be necessary until the following season, when it is, if sown earlv, in about the s,imc stage of development ns that sown the previous spring. SUUSIIJ-UKNT TKKATMXNT Ol' AL VA I.l'A I' I I'M). Although in most parts of the country nlfalfa docs not reach its maximum development until the third or fourth season, the treatment after the first season Is similar from year 1 1 year. Alfalfa is primarily a hay crop, although it is used 111 some localities aud under certain conditions for soiling, or silage, for a cover crop in orchards, aud for pasturage Ii a good stand is obtained from the original so.vlug no further treat ment should be necessary after the first season except to cut the hay at the proper time. If the nlfal fa should die out in spots or if the original stand was not uniform, or the field should require rejtiviuating after n few j ears because of the com pact sod, the best remedy for tiny of these difficulties is a thorough disking in the spring, the disks be ing set so as to split the crowns ver tically. Seed may be sown in the bare spots cither before disking or after; if sown after, the field should be harrowed. If n field is in bad condition, it is usually best to plow up and rcsecrt. It scarcely ever pays, nt least where irrigation is not practiced, to coddle a poor stand of alfalfa. Many growers recommend disking every spring, even when the stand is good, and some have found it paying practice to dik after each culling. Such disking will often prevent the encroachment of weeds. I11 the Eastern states al falfa fields sometimes suffer a'check in their growth, tend to turn yellow aud otherwise show a sickly condi tion. Oftcntime this condition is accompanied by au attack of the alfalfa rust or spot descase. The best remedy for such n condition is to mow the field. The vigorous growth thus induced may overcome the deseased condition. Cold Water Bad For Crops. C. A. Chapman, n prominent rancher of the Powell Buttes conn try, was in the city yesterday on business, leaving this morning for his home, says the I'rincvillc Re view. Mr. Chapman is au enthu siastic irrigationist, having made a life study ot artificial irrigation, and has boundless faith in Central Oregon aud its future. In speak ing of the failures formerly exper ienced by desert settlers, Mr. Chapman said it was his opinion Jthat they were brought about by seeding too early, so that the frosts uipptd the young blades of grass before they were strong enough to resist successfully the act of nature. He has had no trouble- whatever himself with hii grass cud grain crops, because he always wuits un til there is no further daugcr from the early spring frosts before seed ing. He also claims that extreme ly cold water is as bad for young crops as the frost. He says the big ranches of the D. I, & V, Co. the Davenport, Johnston and Bald win farms, art at the present time pictures of beauty. Scientific irri gation is practiced there aud the ranches arc showing tlie benefit.
