That alfalfa will bring and is
bringing an annual gross inc;.me of
more i:ian ?iuo an acre to manyj
farmers in Guilford rountr was the!
statement made yesterday a:tt ;aouii
by E. II. Anderson, (arm deuuustra
tor agent Tor Guilford county. Th
assertion was mad" during a talk
about alialfa. Mr. Anderson xplaiu
ing that alfalfa hay U worm in the
neighborhood of $Jj per ;on and lhat
almost any held of alfalfa that has
been given proper attention will easi
ly bear rutting four times a yea.- ari
that each culling will yield a ton.
An alfalfa club was organised ir.
Guilford county in 11)13 with ij
members. Fach pledged himself ti
sow not less than one ac:e and mr ny
exceeded that, so that there s.re ap
proximately 25 acres of alfalfa i:t the
county today grown by these tl'ih
members. At that time there v. ere
a large number of Guilford county
farmers to be found who were of the
expressed opinion that alfalfa coeld
not be grown at a profit in the coun
ty and since the club members start
ed their small fields, many of tin
doubters have been convinced, so
that at present the members of the
alfalta club do not hate as many acres
of the plant growing as have the lay
farmers of the country. The example
set to the neighboring farmers by
these elub members has been one of
good results affected by the formation
of the club.
"Alfalfa can be grown in Guilforu
county profitably especially if proper
care H ex. rch ed in the preparation of
the land and good seed is used, and
plenty of It and by saying plenty 1
mean r.t l. ;..-t C5 pounds to the acre."
said Mr. Anderson yesterday after
noon. "l'icnty of lime, from four to live
tons to He aeie. should be used, for
the member of the club who has
achievtd the grc.mvt def'iee rf suc
cess during the Initial year or his e''o;
used the most lime. 1 have obserc '
that alfalla is like any other ctvp In
that the better the land, the better the
crop.
"A few of the club members and
other I'armiis sowing alfalfa durirc
the past year have t-coud failures :
a res tilt of their leaving it to the erne
to do it all. These ranie men would
not plant corn on poor land and ex
pect it to grow and produce a profit
without an amount of attention, y t

he and his wife as the foster l arenls

began his deception of the woman
by taking one meal a day at the Pol

up until the fellow deserted his wife
and six children and claimed the
pre ttier woman f r his wife. On"- of

One- of the most unusual civil ac
tiotis in the history of Dm ham civil
ly, has bee-n star' id by C. ol. Disk-er.-on
en behalf of his wife, against
J. W. Iteaveis, pHtro!tiii..i of the lo
cal police department. Mr, Dicker
son In his complaint, according to his
attorney, will allege that the officer
over the protetalion.s of h's . i!'t
who nt the time was in an extremely
delicate state of health, shot and kill
ed a dog that had found a hiding;
place under (heir home. The shoot
ing so frightened Mrs. Dickerson, the
complaint will claim, that serious
complications set in from the ner
vousness and wrecker? her health.
The city may be included in the com
plaint, provided the fact can b- es
tablished (hat it was with authoritv
or city officials that the officer shot
the stray elog. The amor.nt of dam
ages to be asked has not been decid
ed upon, although the attorney de
clares it will not be less than $3000.
