ALL SlKS only bv 67g Hv'c WHAT OUR IRRIGATED FARMS REQUIRE What the Agricultural College Press Ilullctln Has to Hay on the Subject. The one forage crop which will be of more Importance than any other In Josephine county under Irrigation will be alfalfa. These columns have urged the growing of this crop many times and yet feel that It cannot be repeated too often. The price of hay in Grants Pass market today Is $22.00 per ton and the reason for this high price is that It has to be brought here by the railroad and the freight has to be added to the grow er's profit. If our farmers who are under irrigation will grow alfalfa and can bo sure of a market at $9.00 a ton they can become rich at the business. The Agricultural College Press Bulletin gives out an article on tills subject which for the fanners of this county is certainly timely. "Of all the crops produced upon the farm perhaps no other offers so many attractions and advantages to the farmer as does alfalfa. As an Improver of the soil It has few equals and no superiors. As for forage for all classes of live stock, whether used as hay, green feed, or pasture, it Is unexcelled In yield, feed value, pala tablllty and permanency of growth. To the farmer keeping cows, hogs or poultry it Is of paramount value In that It Is practically the only forage crop that will supply green feed con tinuously through the dry summer months of this region. In addition to these advantages it is superior to all other crops In quickly Improving and maintaining the appearance and selling value of farm lands. "Lack of understanding of the peculiarities of the plant and Its re quirements has caused many failures of first attempts at growing the crop in western Oregon. This has led farmers to believe that alfalfa is not naturally adapted to this region. While this to a certain extent is true, yet the difficulties In the way may, and have largely been overcome. The splendid results obtained by the State Experiment Station and other growers In different parts of West ern Oregon should convince the most skeptical of the great future of the crop In this state. As authentic and accurately measured yield to Illus trate the possibilities of the crop here, those recorded at the Experi ment Station may lie cited. The aver age of all the yleldti of the Station field for the last eight years has been ti.2 tons of cured hay per acre year ly, or where cut as a soiling crop, 2".3 tons of green feed per acre. This field has the ordinary heavy i lay loam noil typical of the Willam ette Valley and has received no Irri gation, fertilization or special treat ment whatever. Anywhere In West ern Oregon where certain primary requirements of the crop are satis fied, the same or better results can be obtained. It only behooves the beginner to secure the best advice obtainable as to methods of growing; start with a small piece; experiment with it until Its requirements are learned; gather experience from his failures or persist until successful. The reward of such persistence Is ample. The primary requirements of al- you Imvo svn tlu IN STOCK. SM Company Jw E PERSONAL ITEMS W. H. Farrar returned' Tuesday from Myrtle Creek.

The lands most nearly meeting these re quirements are on the slopes of the rolling lands of the valley bottoms; the slopes and tops of the hills sur rounding these valleys are the deep, sandy loam river bottoms well above the water level. The ordinary val ley low flat lands are not suitable. The deep feeding tap roots upon whose length these plants depend for securing plant food and moisture, make a soil eight to ten feet In depth Imperative. Although alfalfa pre fers a sandy loam yet It has proved equally prosperous on the henvy day loam soils, a heavy day subsoil or hard pan delaying but not stopping the root growth. "Owing to the need of Its roots for air. alfalfa, especially when young and, during the growing sea son. Is easily Injured by standing water either above or below ground. Root growth stops at once ou strik ing water saturated soli, hence the water table should not be less than eight or ten feet below the surface j"f the ground during the growlrg season.

'SOUTHERN PACIFIC NEW FAST TRAIN The Southern Pacific will soon put on an additional train, a real flyer, which will greatly shorten the time between Portland and California, but the schedule has not yet been made public. This additional train will be to take care of the extra heavy travel expected this season, both from the east and from the Pacific. Much of this business will be on account of the Aliaka-Yukon-Pacific exposition and not a little will come from the homes along the Southern Pacific. The new train, we are informed, will be made up of the finest modern equipment and will make fast time. The main lines east and west are all preparing for large business this summer and will put In effect the re duced summer rates, so that It will be almost as cheap to travel as to stay at home. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional re medies. Deafness Is caused by an Imflamed condition of the mucuos lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, deaf ness Is the result, and unless the In flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an' inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
