ALFALFA GROWN WITH SUCCESS 1'nrmrr Jh WHana Tfcar" ('atr Ppri ailar In Omak an Tells Aaoat Fla Craps la Hla Nrlhaora4. Tha sand hills of Nebrauka ar this yar : dm.)n.trtln that they ara evm more aluaile than the low lands." Thua apoke U. J. Yeoman, one of the extensive rattle ' racers in the vicinity of Valentine, who In mopping; at the Millard. i "Twenty yeara ago we did not think the and hill were worth ten cent an acre, and they were not. Then they were simply l ;ea of white sand, big blowouts occur rir.g every one hundred rods or to. Then Klnkalders came In, fenced up the land and managed to discontinue the annual burning of the range. As a result, those same sand hilla are now covered with blue stem, which ha formed a heavy turf, af fording the finest pasture In the world. Even thla summer many of the home steaders have been able to cut from one to two tons of wild hay per acre right on the sides of the hills that years ago wore nothing but masses of avhlta sand. "Now, as to alfalfa. It waa thought that It would not grow upon the vand hills, but It waa tried In a number of places two and three years ago with the result that this year these same farmers have cut three crops, and the fourth is about ready to be harvested. Tou know that while the sand Is dry upon the top, an Inch or two from the surface, even In the dryest weather, you can pick up a handful of thla sand and squeeze water out of It. It never drya out to any depth. And then too, the sand seems to supply a food that makes the most nutritious al falfa that can be grown. "I predict that In another ten years, after this Nebraska sand hills country cornea Into 1U own. It will, even the poor st, have a value of from $50 to ISO per acre, Just for grazing and hay land." Farmer Wllsoa rlraard. Farmer John Wilson of Thayer county, while In the rotunda of the Merchant's hotel, regaled listeners with details con cerning the crops that he and hla neigh bors ire raining this year. Said Wilson: "Willie my wheat, which Is all of the all variety, yielded but twenty bushels per acre, the quality was the beet I ever rained. It weighs out sixty-one pounds to the bUHhel. Oats are practically a failure, but we are going to get better than an average crop of corn. The hot, dry weather of July seemed to stunt the corn, but when the rains of this month came on, it took on new life and is simply boost ing, in some fields the corn grows so fast i hut it actually pulls the roots out of the Kiound. . I figure that with seasonable weather and a fairly late fall, our crop will he fully up to tho average. Potataea me going to make pretty near a full rrop." Kanteraer la Sarprlaed. "Speaking about ltnea of demarkatlon jet ween where It rains and where it does aot." said Roland Conway at the Roma hotel, "reminds me of the fact that rain sometimes Indulges In some peculiar freaks." Conway had been listening to some men describing a rainfall of five and ona-half Inches that visited a section of country thres mles southwest of South Omaha last week. Forty rods away from tha point of the heaviest precipitation, not a drop ef rain fell. It waa then thla outsider butted in and said: "Last Tuesday I was coming across the Nevada desert, riding In on of tha South, em Paciflo trains. I waa sitting in one if tha seats In a day coach, on the north sde of the car. Looking out of tha win flow, just after we had passed Elko. I law a heavy black cloud ahead. There Cor miles the track is straight as an ar row. "W ell; the train bowled along at a pretty good clip and we soon came up with the loud and an inxtant later plunged Into imp of the hardest rain storms I ever witnessed. But as strange as It may seem, ihe eilKe of that storm seemed to be hang ins over the center of the railroad track. Cn the south side there was not a drop of lain? while on the north, the water waa .oming down In torrents. To the south ;no could look out and see the sun, while lo the north, the cloud was so dense and (lie rain was corning down so rapidly that .t was ImposHltile to see more than ten feet distant. This continued during tha whole of a run of nearly thirty miles, a lien we pasned out Into bright sunshine. "During the remarkable, run, I went to the rear of the train and looked back. It was a sight well worth seeing. The cloud seemed to stand up like a wall. Its tidii being clear cut and almoat perpen licular. They tell me that atorms of this character are quite common in the ex treme west, especially upon tha desert." Confesses Thefts of Many Bicycles Fifteen-Year-Old Lad Arrested and Will Be Turned Over to Juve nile Authorities. Dan Klglottc. Vi years old, of South Jmaha. was arrested today at Sixteenth tnd Cuming street, accused of stealing a licycle.
