Feeds 100 Head of Stock,
Sells $4500 Worth of Hiy
From SO Acres ot Alfalfa
Tho Tlmes-Horahl ban urged from
time to time thu advantages of alfalfa
flelds and occasionally finds ran) fig
ures to back up Its assertion that thu
alfalfa man has tho best of the other
farmer in this section.
.This weok wo had a neighbor, who
has what In termed a dry farm, as
it Is not situated on thu river but
docs got nomo wutor for Irrigation,
g(vo a discussion of his operations
for tho past season.
This man baa some 80 acres in
alfalfa and this season he disposed
of 4,500 worth of hay besides hav
ing enough 1oft to feed his 100 head
of stock. Ho sold twelve head of
steers, that brought him over flOOO,
and had Just brought In 18 turkeyu
that day which he sold to local peo
ple. During the season ho milks a
number of cows and tho butter fat
Is shipped to an outsldo creamory
which soiids a good slzo chock ovory
week.
What farm along the river with
that amount of ncrcago In uso can
mako as good return? Is alfalfa
worth while? Or Is the present plan
of overflow meadow land tho p'ropor
way to prosper? The Irrigation
project will solve that problem.

Society Requested to Make

Several actlvo public-spirited or
gnnlzatlons in thb city are cooper
ating In nn effort tb secure a county
nurso. Tho campaign, originating
wth tho Rod Cross, Is bong actively
supported by tho American Loglon,
Mothers club and other live bodies.
Tho presont plan Js to flrnt prevail
upon the Oregon Anti-Tuberculosis
society, which bus In other counties
fostered this work, to provide thu
county with a nurse for a porlod of
demonstration, to bring Its vnluo to
the attention of county ottlclala and
tho public. Tho vuluo of such ser
vice, as lifts been demonstrated In
other counties that now provide for
thu maintenance of li county nurso
in tholr annual budgets, is almost
Inostlmablo. Tho scope of tho work
Ib unlimited,
This nurso maintained by tho
county would not only be oir hand
for practical nursing In .tlmo of epi
demic, but could train others through
tho provision ot a nursing course
not only for enro of tho Blck In such
emorgonclcs, but nlso for provoqtlvo
and romodlal work In their own
homos. Sho would bo pruparod to
train school students and others In
Klrst Aid, to confor with toachors
and mothors relative to tho henlth
and physical training of tho children
and to supervlso such trulnlng
throughout" tho schools of tho
county. "
Tho position Is not Intondod to su
porsodo that of county physician, but
covers mu;cll mat lUO cuuiuy jmyni-
elan can not bo expoctod to do. In
miny casoa, a county nurso would bo

Undoubtedly tho gonorous respouso

upon It by tho Red Cross in lta sev
eral drives for war tlmo nnd ponco
timo rollof fnnds, nnd to the Oregon
Anti-Tuberculosis soclty In tho sale

Blderablo influence toward inducing
