THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE OF INTEREST TO RURAL READERS FARM BUREAU NEWS SEItVICE 8UITLIES ITEMS FOR THE TRIBUNE READERS The Nobarska Crop Growers Asso cintlon has begun work on certifying Grimm Alfalfa seed. This lo tlono by tracing the history of the seed, In vestigating tho growth habits of tho plants, colors of blossoms, and other characteristics. A limitod nmount ot Orlm seed has been ccrtlfiod for this year. Tho names of men having thia seed can bo secured by writing tho secretary of tho association who 1b located at tho Collogo ot Agriculture, Lincoln. Tho Grim alfalfa Is a hardy strain, which seems to bo moro hardy than tho common alfalfa, although tho yield of liny Is ordinarily no greater than the common alfalfa. Mr. Lake Brldcnthal of noar Wy tnorc, Neb., a breeder of Duroc and Percherons, Is tho ownor of ft thrco fourth aero vineyard of which ho 1b justly proud and of which he recent ly gavo an acount of tho horticulture specialists of tho Agricultural Col lege. Six- years ago tho plants woro set out, 4G0 of them and mostly Con cords. This year tho grnipcs from tho vines sold for $3(50.00, ropresontlng 00 bushels at $4.00 per lmuhol. Tho nvorago yield per vino was eight pounds, which is high considering thnt tho first fruiting shoots were frozen back last spring. Tho results show what tho possibilities are when tho vinos nro given good caro and tho proper type of pruning, "drapes aro fairly easy to grow," said Mr. BrldenJmo so wo can hold a combination sale, 1 thai. "Tho area between the rows is disced two or threo times during the!..- early summer. Aftor August 1, tho1 cultivating is stopped and foxtail al lowed to grow. This helps to ripen the wood for winter. Tho important thing in raising grapes, however, Is tho pruning. But with a little study and practice ono soon learns how much fruiting wood to loavo and how to keep tho old wood from acctimu- ,,;:.

Thoflo empty, useless looking win dow and iporch boxes may be mado to servo a usoful purposo In adding to tho beauty of the homo In wlntor. Tho' dried up plnnm that occupied sucn a prominent place during. tho summer may bo replaced by this senson ot tho year by a collection of twigs and branches nnd ovon sniall trees that provldo a pleasing offoct throughout tho wlntor. In tho background may bo grouped small truos or branched of overgreons such as pines, red cedar, spruce, and arbor. vltao and In tho foreground shoots with bright colored borrlea, such as blttorswoot, barberry, coralborry, snowbory and roso h,lps. To add to tho striking ef fect produced by theso materials n few fruiting spikes of sumac may bo U3cd. First loosen tho soil in the bo:; with a trowel or an old knlfo; thun plant tho twIgB three or four Inchon deep and pack tho dirt about th-i BtoniB bo that the wlntor winds will not blow thorn over. Then add a lib eral supply ot water.

OWNS SMALLEST in jail-nan to a height 01 U).wu qyv py)P. AUTQGAaita Co Bell's Toy Has Become Huge System Telephone Shows Enormous Growth in 45 Years. In Just a little moro than the span of a generation tho telephone Industry has developed from n toy to an es sential Industry uniting all our com mercial und social activities. The growth of this toy has been remark able, but it has always had to struggle hnrd merely to keep pace with an ever- incrcusing demand for service. From one Instrument In 1875, the telephone has grown until there arc In use today In tho United States over 13,000,000 telephones. If these instruments were plnccd side by side, they would span a distance greater than a line drawn from New York to Chicago. With these Instruments arc associated cen tral offices, poles, wire, underground and overhead cables, etc. There arc nearly 15,000,000 poles In use nt the present time, or enough poles, end to end to extend three times around the world. There are 31,000,000 miles of wire connected to the plant at the present time in the United States, or I enough wire to go around tho world 1240 times. To operate efllclently and economi cally the exceedingly Intricate mechan isms of which the modern telephone system Is composed, requires, from top to bottom, n carefully trained and skilled force drawn from U10 most In telligent and alert classes of the popu lation. In fact, practically all tele phone workers may be classed ns ex perts. uecause tno telephone requires 11 body of expert workers the wnges con stitute a large proportion of all tho expenses. According to a recent re port 03 per cent of the total cost of operating the telephone companies of the country last year was paid for 8J I!l !n?.c.r, ma- (crlals, rents, taxes, light, heat, etc. An Important feature of tho tele phone business Is the obtaining of new money each year for expansion. Bach yenr the public Is demanding more and more telephone fncllltles. The North western Bell Telephone Company In tho llvo Htntes in which It operates, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and North Dakota and South Dakota, spends on tho average of about $8,000,000 a year for additions to Its property and yet Ibis Company operates In n territory that has only about one-tenth of the total telephones of the country. The telephone companies do not ninko their extensions out ot the profits of the buslnesa as do most non-rcgu- lutcd private concerns. In order to, expand to meet the requirements of the public for facilities each year, telephone companies must be nble to sell their bonds or stock to Investors. In (inlet- to do this the companies must be In a prosperous condition. Nobody can tell Investors where they enn put I heir money. They may hide It In their stockings, under the lloor or Invest It In a sheep ranch In Australia. But they will put It where they think they will get the greatest return consist tntly with the safety of the Investment. Vho Investor In telephone securities cannot look forward to speculative "profits" such as he may And In mnny otlMsr enterprises which are less con sorvatlvo und which present a greater hazard for his Invotmont. He must be able to look forward to n safe nnd conservative investment where ho will bo fairly paid for" the use of his money put Into the business nnd where his principal will be safe. The possibility 01 the earnings of a telephone conv puny being less than what Investors. feel Is reasonable would be as dis astrous to the public us It would be unfortunate for the stockholders of the Company. It would prevent the Company from attracting new money necessary to provide facilities for all applicants or for those who are mov ing from ono locnllty to another, Telephone service, to be of the great est value, must be provided to nil busi ness houses and residences who dc Blro It. This, however, can only bo done by the constant Investment of new money In the business. I am homo again. Will do any kind ot plastering. I. W. Mathowson, Grncoland Addition, Phono 654W.
