Uncle Henry Reichman Poorly Uncle Henry Reichman was has been very poorly for the past more than a year, during the past few weeks has not been as well as during the other period of his illness. The condition has been so grave that it was thought better than the two sons who are in the east came home, Al bert who is located at Chicago, ar rived early last week and Richard MURDOCK who is at Neperville arriving later in the week. The visit oi tne sons has a favorable influence on the con dition of the father and It is hoped that his condition will soon turn for the better and that ere long he may be on the road to recovery. Although the Supreme court Fri day upheld the ruling of the Saund ers county District court in the test case involving farm truck registration fees, it is not likely that owners who have already paid the regular fee will be able to recover the over charge. State Treasurer Stebbins said Fri day morning that he has no authority to pay out any money from the state treasury except that specifically ap propriated by the legislature. As he views the situation, the only way farm truck owners will be able to ob tain refunds is by presenting claims to the legislature and having them approved and funds appropriated for their payment. The overcharges have practically all been collected by county treasur ers and turned into the state treas ury. These overcharges are the result of interpretation of the law passed by the last session of the legislature, which provided a special. SS registra tion fee on ail trucks used exclusive ly for farm purposes and weighing not more than 4,000 pounds. Whether the legislature meant the actual weight of the truck or its load ed weight was the question put to the attorney general for an opinion. He interpreted the law as meaning the loaded weight of the truck. Under this interpretation only trucks of less than one-ton capacity could receive the benefit of the special farm truck fee. The weight of a one-ton truck is approximately 2,500 pounds which added to the capacity load of 2,000 pounds, takes the truck out of the 4.0(H) pound class. They were then charged a registration fee based on the regular scaled fees for all trucks which start with $15 and increase with the size of the truck. Acting on the opinion of the state's legal det parment county treasurers collected license fees on the regular truck Campaign for More Alfalfa Planting Grows Eight Mile Grove Church Well Rep resented at Hooper Former Pastor in Charge.

The rain and the threatening weather in a way intrefered with the gathering but another will be had some time in the future at which time it is hoped there will be better weather, and they can enjoy the gathering better. was formed at Sauk Centre, Stearns county, Mnnesota, as the outgrowth of a survey .by the Blue Valley Creamery Institute to determine the oustanding fundamental need of the local farming community. It was found that alfalfa was needed to low er the cost of producing milk, but terfat and pork, to improve fer tility and to make possible a larger production per acre o animal pro ducts and crops. Planting of alfalfa was started at once and since the or ganization of the first 10,000 Acre club, the acreageo fthis wonderful legume has steadily increased. By 1925 it had jumped from a begin ning of 200 acres to 2500. By 1927, approximately 4000 had been plant ed, and it is expected that by the close of 192S there will be 6000 acres under way. With the experience gained through the successful Sauk Centra; project, similar 10,000 Acre Alfalfa club campaigns were started through the sponsorship of the institute in many other states in the Mississippi valley. Reports of the progress at tained in these communities have just been compiled by the field men of the -institute. From Dewey, county. South Dakota comes the report that the acreage in that community has increased 7,174 acres, which, with the 3000 already planted, puts that county over the top. With the aid of business men, the commercial club, the county super intendent of schools and the county agent, the 10,000 Acre Alfalfa club campaign in Tamaconnty, Iowa, has resulted in the planting of 15S2 acres. Seventy-nine farmers who ing talks were heard and much en thusiasm was felt by all attending. Mr. Fisher, a splendid worker among the young people, was present and talked strongly on organization for, the Luther League. Twenty Sunday schools were rep resented, this being the 5th annual convention of the district. The con vention started with a membership of four Sunday schools with 24 present and upon the present occasion there were 150 present. The Eight Mile Grove church has a Sunday school of 130 members and they are all boosters and workers and take a great interest in the work, which is very gratifying to their pastor. Rev. Lentz.

Helm, Iona county, Michigan. 11 is estimated that between 6000 and 7,000 acres have been planted in alfalfa. The alfalfa project in Presque Isle county, Michigan has resulted in the planting of 900 acres of alfalfa and the farmers, with the help or dusi ness men, bankers and the county agent are continuing the work to reach the 10,000 goal. In Savannah. Missouri, in Andrew countv, high school boys took an ac tive p'art in the 10,000 Acre Alfalfa club work, visiting farmers them selves. Their work resulted in an extremely large crop of alfalfa. The alfalfa campaign around Fay ette county, Iowa, ha3 proved very successful and satisfactory, states the report from that section. Business men sent out 7260 letters to farmers and hundreds of meetings were held. Alfalfa was practically unknown in Hart county, Kentucky, until a school teacher and the local chamber of commerce undertook to establish the crop in this community. Busi ness men and the school authorities got behind the Blue Valley plan and a thriving alfalfa campaign now is under way in that community. In Hancock county, Idiana, re markable progress has ben made. The start was given an impetus when thirty-three farmers planted .214 acres. Then they adopted the Blue Valley plan and now more than 800 acres have been planted in that ter ritory. Seven reasons are given by agri cultural experts why alfalfa should' be grown on every farm. They are: 1 It is the most profitable forage crop. 2 It will increase the value of every farm on which it Is grown.. 3 It excels every other crop in yield per acre, feed value, as drouthe re sister, as soil enricher. 4 It de stroys weedg when cut frequently. 5 It balances the corn ration of dairy cows and hogs, and the leaves make a valuable addition to the poul try mash ration.
