ALFALFA YIELDS
Next Tiielny afternoon nt 3
oYlufk Prof. F. C. lieimer of tho cx
H'rimi'iitiil station mid C. C. Cute,
county jiprif'iiltiirulist, will conduct
an antuntoi)!( excursion to certain
alfalfa field near Mcilfonl. On this
excursion lvnndicrs and others will
ha shown the most renmrkublt; i'ortil
izer results ever obtained in America.
Alfalfa fields will be visited where
the untreated portions of the fields
are producing almost nothing, while
the fertilized plots are producing al
least 20 times as much alfalfa as llie
untreated plots.
Can alfalfa he produced success
fully on heavy adobe soil? (Jo on
this alfalfa excursion and see. One
field will he examined where some of
the, finest crops of alfalfa ever pro
duced in the lioae river valley are
growing on very heavy, sticky soil.
Effort of Kpsoiii Halt.
One field will he visited where ep
som salts has produced an increase
in the yield of alfalfa of more than
une thousand per cent.
No one should fail to go " this
trip. Afedford will have an oppor
tunity of seeing one of the best and
most carefully conducted experiments
by any experiment station in America.
Many experts from various parts of
the United States have examined these
fields, and have pronounced these ex
periments unions the most valuable
and most remarkable in this country.
A number of people who have seen
this work have pronounced the re
sults "a miracle."
The Southern Oregon experiment
station has been the pioneer in (he
work with sulphur as u fertilizer on
alfalfa. This work was started six
years njjo when no fertilizers were
being used in southern Oregon. This
experiment station has demonstrated
beyond all doubt that the total yield
of alfalfa in this valley can easily be
doubled, and in some instances in
creased twenty fold, by the proper
use of fertilizers. It has also been
demonstrated that thousands of acres
of adobe soil, which formerly was
regarded of little value for alfalfa,
can be made to produce abundant
crops of alfalfa. The increases on
some of the lighter soils, such as
granite and sandy soils, have in a
number of instances amounted to 200
per cent.
On Tuesday Afternoon.
The trip will start from the Med
ford Commercial club building at 1
o'clock sharp Tuesday afternoon,
May 2!. All those who have automo
biles should bring them, so that ev
erybody may have a chance to ride.
The en(ire trip will not consume more
than two hours.
This is the greatest demon-tntion
that the fanners of this valley have
ever had an opportunity to witness.
Mr. Campbell, the prcat agricultural
expert of the Southeiti Pacific, was
astonished when he saw these exper
iments recently.
A lanre delegation of rancher- nnd
business men from Josephine county
have already made arrangements to
be present. If you have any interest
whatever in belter farming you should
be present at this meeting.
In case it should rain hard Tues
day aflcnuntn the demonstration will
lie held at 1 o'clock Thursday, Mav

I
ledford can well be proud of the
musical talent displayed In the choral
club orcheHtral concert given at the
Presbyterian church lust evening.
Thone who went there expecting to
graciously endure the performance
for the encouragement of some intan
gible muHical uplift Idea received a
distinct jolt. Jt m buIm to say that
nowhere else In the state, outside af
Portland, could a local concert he put
on the boards representing as much
talent and real musicianship as the
one given last evening. On its sheer
merit the house should have been
packed and now that the real adver
tising has gone forth, that is, thru
those who had the temerity to attend.
any future concerts given by the or
chestra will no doubt show up a full
quota of music lovers.
The orchestra, under the very able
direction of Mr. Itarry Howell, evi
denced an ensemble of a high order,
and in musical grasp, attack, and gen
eral finesse, showed ability yory much
above the ordinary amateur organiza
tion. Possibly deserving special mention
was the opening number by the or
chestra, the Oriental Suite by Frliul.
and . songs 1y Huth Warner, Miss
Bruult, and Mrs. Isaucs. Miss Hrault's
work astonished and delighted her
audience. This young lady very re
cently sang her initial song for a
Medford audience. Her stage pres
ence Ih charming nnd she has the rare
faculty of taking the audience com
pletely Into her confidence.
The instrumental trio by Miss
French, Mr. and Mrs. Carleton Junes
was rendered with artistic finish and
a scholarly regard for lights and
shades. Miss French Is well known
thru her highly efficient work In
chool music, and her own charming
and lyrical voice It Is not bo well
known, however, that this young
lady '8 versatility includes a fine com
mand of the cello. We are glad that
she is hooked for 'Medford another
year, as she will make possible tho ru
mored organization of string quartet.
IMIhs Huth Warner againgavo evi
dence of being a real comer. Her
rendition of Tosti's !ood-Hye was
very beautiful, rarely so, even for this
chnrming young lyrical soprano.
Sirs. Isaacs sang with her usual
deep color and fine intelligence, a
most beautiful song "Mellnda," by
(Joetz.
Thomas Swem, of New York City,
who is visiting his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. T. M. Swen;, has just complet
ed an enpie;iiuc!tt with the Halboa

The Jackson County Bank
Established 1888.
OUR SERVICE
And What It Means to You
WE SHOW YOU THE REAL IMPLEMENTS-
OF THEM.
-NOT SIMPLY PICTURES
A jiicture often hides a multitude of flaws which would be quickly detected by
inspection of the pictured object itself.
Suppose you wanted to buy a horse.
One man brings to you a picture of a
horse; another man brinies a real
horse. Which interests you the most
' the picture or the real thing?
The picture tells you nothing ex
cept in a general way. What .yon
want to know, as a prospective pur
chaser, is in a particular way. You
want to know whether the horse is
sound of limb and body; how old,
sturdy and active it is, and something
definite as to its spirit. The picture
tells you none of these things. You
can learn them only by inspecting the
horse closely and seeing it in action.
It's just as unsatisfactory to buy
a farm implement from a picture as it
is to buy a horse from a picture. You
can't tell from an illustration whether
or not the implement shown has ma
terial of inferior quality in the con
struction of some of its parts. You
can't tell whether or not it has oper
ating faults. You can tell if you close
ly inspect the implement itself and
watch the operation of its parts.
We have a high-class line of imple
ments for your inspection. Call and
see them and satisfy yourself as to
their quality and operating capabili
ties. That's the safe preparation for
buying. We'll be mighty glad to see
von.
