INsURINa CROPS.

One week ago wheat farmers in the largest
wheat-growing districts of the State would
have given good round sum to have their
crops insured to produce an average crop.
While there was then no real suffering from
want of moisture, the character of the season
so far did not warrant very strong faith
that the spring rainfall would be very plenti-
full. The cold weather had extended so far
into spring that there was growing a decided
fear that the change from cool to warm weather
would be accompanied with but little rain
fall and that summer would be ushered in
with continuance of dry weather. In that
case the crops could not have been generally
good The experience of the past week has
The dry cold weather has been giving way to
cool but decidedly damp weather. and what
had been construed as indicating dry season
seems now to have been really one of the
most certain signs of late and wet spring.
Such spring we think we are now most
likely to have, and such spring means good
crops, especially of wheat. While wheat has
been making but little show above ground,
the roots have been growing rapidly and get
ting strong hold of the soil, and we think
with the change of weather the crops have
been abundantly insured. 1t is now very
probable that April will bring the usual
March weather, and that the season will be
late in its characteristics. This is at least the
present outlook.

ALFALFA IN UTAH.

We well remember when it was considered
doubtful whether alfalfa could be successfully
raised in Utah on account of the severity OF
the climate. Formerly the opinion was quite
general that warm climate was a necessity
for the growth of this forage plant, but ex-
perience with its cultivation is gradually
changing this opinion, and it is coming to be
regarded as one of the best forage plants that
can be produced in all countries of temperate
climate. A correspondent of the Pra'r'e
Farmer, writing from Utah, says OF alfalfa
or lucerne, as he calls it
I have cultivated it here for ten years.
With me it grows slender and spindilng the
first year after it is sown. We cut this hrst
crop as close to the ground as we can when
the lucerne is eight inches high; then 1t
spreads out well and grows taller. Some
times we cut it twice the first year II 1t is
well attended to. 1t cleans old land that Is
full of weeds. We find it good to SOW with
oats. As soon as the oats head out we cut It,
! think it is the best forage plant that ever
was introduced into Utah.

FENCE FOE TuLE LANDS.

The tule lands in this State generally afford
a great deal of feed for cattle, but from the
fact that these lands have not generally been
fenced SO as to confne cattle, to prevent their
straying off, much of this feed is lost. The
reason these lands have not been fenced is,
that fences heretofore made on them have
been washed away and lost TO their owners so
many times that all efforts at fencing has
been abandoned. No ordinary fence
will stand the overhows that fire.
onently cover these lands. Posts may
be set three and even four feet In
the soil, and anchored with blocks
spiked to them on the parts to go under
ground, and yet when the waters cover them
and are driven in sweeping waves or run In
rand currents. they will work loose, rise to
the surface and float away. Many expedl-
ents have been tried to overcome the diff
Guilty. Some have tried iron posts and wire
instead of boards. While these will not foat
away. the cost is the first objection. Then,
again. an iron post that will not be too
heavy for practical use must OF necessity
be SO small as practically to have
no good hold upon the soil, and
will be liable to fall over while the ground Is
saturated and rendered soft by overtows.
Wooden posts and barbed wire make very
GOOD fence for tule lands, but dritt-wood
catches upon the wire and drags the fence out
Of Mace. and unless the tules are moved or
the fence either
side. the posts, which are generally OF red
wood. are liable and likely to be burned every
fall. when the tules are most sure to be set
on fire. We have often wondered why farm
ers owning swamp and tule lands in this State
have not before this taken the trouble TO
plant some rapid-growing and waterproof
tree at proper distances apart on the lines
where they want fence-posts by little
mains and labor each year in cultlvatlng
strip ON each side of a row of trees so planted,
all danger from fire may be avoided. and
few years time will be sufficient to raise III
this way live fence-posts that would last a
lifetime and not be liable to be tioated away

Cottonwood, or rouSn-oarheu "i0"' "
Lombardy poplar may be used for the pur
pose above indicated. and all of these varieties
of trees may be produced very handily and
cheaply from cuttings. 1t would be the best
wav and the cheapest to start the cuttings
and grow them one year at least IN the
nursery, and while they are thus growing the
strip of land over which it is proposed to
build fence should be plOwed and cultivated
to prepare it for the planting of the trees. Then
by continuing the cultivation after the trees
are planted their growth will be stimulated,
and the tules next the fence will be destroyed
and the fire avoided. When trees so grown IN
the tule lands are three or four years old,
barbed wire may be attached to them, and
fence will be the result that will be almost
as durable as forest.
