LADOR UNIONISM NOV TO ULAMI-.
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. Because
three orfour or half a dozen men
with criminal tendencies have suc
ttucded in gttingTontrol of a pow
V9JrfuMaboTKganication is no reason
nfcaraay can. who possesses logic
sas a tense of justice, should con
demn all labor organizations. 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.

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?

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

Alfalfa Growing.

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.

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.
