Holt has one-fourth of an acre in alfalfa on his lot in town. He had mowed it five times before the dry weather set in. He weighed tbe last cutting, the only one weighed, and he got 500 pounds, but it was : lighter than any of the other cut tings. If the other cuttings bad not been heavier than tfie last ho would have got at the rate of live tons per acre, but a conservative estimate is at least six tons to the acre. Last winter alfalfa hay sold here for •37.50 to $40.00 per ton, but putting the yield at six tons par acre and the price at $35.00 per ton the proceeds would amount to $210.0u to the acre. That's not bad farming. If the weather had continued season able he would have got another catting. Negro Shot to Death.
