PROGRESS OF ALFALFA GROWING IN
KANSAS.
Vance Co. N. G.

We have just received from Secre-
tary F. D. Coburn of the Kansas
Board of Agriculture, the following
note which will be read with interest
in connection with Mr.. McNair's arti-
cles:
"A1falfa has been officially recog-
nized in Kansas for an even dozen
years, and during that time its pop
ularity has steadily increased. Prior
to 1890 it was not deemed of sufficient
Importance to be taken notice of in the
statistics of the State Board of Ag-
riculture. Now, and for the first
time, it has a larger acreage than any
other tame grass, its area being over
900 acres, according to the sworn
returns of assessors now being com
piled and tabulated by Secretary F.
D. Coburn.
"Timothy has been alfalfa's leading
competitor in area until this year,
when the returns proclaim it's field is
138,657 acres or 80 per cent smaller
than that devoted to alfalfa. It is
an interesting fact also that as early
as the fourth year of alfalfa's stats
tical record (1894) it's area exceeded
by $4,000 acres that of the clovers fo1
the same year, and each canvass since
has shown an increased difference in
favor of the former. Indeed statis-
tics indicate that for Kansas, alfalfa
is being found superior, by those who
have had experience with them, to
timothy or clover. It not only is q
perennial legume, of unusual powers
of resistance to protracted dry wealth
er, as against timothy and the biennial
clovers of less fortitude, but annually
yields from two to three times as much
| feed equally or more nutritious, and
is a remarkable soil renovator besides
These facts in large measure account
for the marvellous increase in appre-
citation and sowing of alfalfa, as dis.
closed by the figures. In 1891, of the
tame grasses, alfalfa ranked fifth in
area, with 34,384 acres; in 1902, first
with 458,493 acres, a gain of 424,1Oe
acres, or 1888 per cent, and an in.
crease over 1901 of 139,351 acres, OF
1886 per cent"
