The Senatorial Contest.

The present senatorial contest
promises to be one of the most inter-
eSting and exciting in the history of
the state. There are several promi-
nent candidates all of whom are too
we'll known TO need personal mention.
In addition to these several clark
horse" candidates are being groOmed
and prepared to enter the race should
the election seem likely not to fall to
the lot of the leading candidate. The
contest may occupy the greater por-
tion of the usual fifty day session of
the legislature. yet this is hardly
probable. Two factions seem bent on
securing the prize in order that the
distribution of patronage which fol-
lows may be used to strengthen and
build up their faction, and it is not
probable that the two can be harmon
lied. There is a strong third party
not particularly attached to either
faction, but holding himself aloof
from each so that he may catch the
vote from either side should the weak
er one wish TO throw his force in some
other direction. Both factions have
been executing some strategetic plans
in order TO flank the third and it
now seems that this may have been
done.
Not only the candidates and their
cts, friends but the people also are
highly interested in the outcome, and
the personal preference of legislative
for senator, was leading ,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1902-12-04

issue in their nomination and election.
The result of the election makes it
certain that the next senator from
Kansas will be a republican, and hence
the tight is entirely within the repub
llcan ranks. Curtis is generally con-
ceded to be one of the strongest can
didates and is the champion of one
faction, while Long represents the
other. Stanley has been occupying
the middle ground ready to seize the
''p1um" if either of the others failed.
Inere are still others who would like
to take the same chances
AS the election of senator rests with
the legislature the candidates recoo-
nize the value of organizing the house.
This brought out George j. Barker as
the Curtis candidate for speaker, and
S. S. Kirkpatrick as the Long candi-
date. Recently a combination has
been formed by the Leland Bailey
faction, Stanley concurring bringing
out j. T.. Pringle man said TO favor
Long, but instructed for Curtis. His
election it is said, will be guarantee
OF fairness to all parties. Governor
elect Bailey and Governor STANLEY
were strong factors in bringing Pringle
out and as result have been the re-
clp1e It, of a storm OF criticism from
the Curtis supporters, while Longs
fri 'nds warmly commend the action.
In order to secure the necessary sun
port to elect their mah the factions
have their adherents at work vigor-
ouslv, many being induced to side one
way or the other by the promise of
political ''pie."
All this means that an extremely
bitter fractional fight is being brought
about in state politics as we have il
here in Phillips county. In fact our
factional fight here is the result of
this division, only it was drought to
head" sooner here, and had the
"core" knocked in the recent election.
Yet it seems to be :'heading'' for an
other ':hreak, " as Senator j =
row of Washington =. MOT
Phillips in ~ duty mas visited
-e interest of Pringle and
~ the machinery in motion. This of
course the Curtis supporters will not
stand for, and similar movement on
their part may be expected. This
means party division and division
means defeat. While we personally
favor Curtis for the senate, we hope
he will not so conduct his campaign
as to jeopardize the success if the re-
publican party, then will he be winner
finally whether, or not, he secures the
senatorial tOga.

early stage. the yield of hay for the
season Will be much greater than if
the alfalfa is cut near maturity, and
every pound of hay secured will be
worth more for feed.
The late cutting or the first crop
seems to injure the plant more than
at any other time, and we have found
1t profitable to cut al falfa the first
time as soon as one tenth was in blp9m

VALUE OF ALFALFA.
Alfalfa is an absolute neceSS ity in
Kansas for the cheapest produ ction
Of beef, pork, mutton and milk, and
for securing the cheapest rapid growth
of colts, young cattle, sheep and pigs.
1t can prOftably form the greater

cattle, sheep and swine that are kept
for breeding purposes, and as a cheap
and good food for poultry. 1t supplies
the food elements lacking in most OF
our other field plants, and when fed
with them makes a balanced ration.
A thorough effort should be made
by every Kansas farmer to grow 1T il
he does not already have it on his
farm. Alfalfa is of such great value
as food, and it's yield is so high, and
it yields well for 50 long a period after
good stand is secured, that it will
pay the Kansas farmer who is without
it to carefully study every require
ment OF the plant, and then attempt
to secure these conditions, and seeC
largely. If the first attempt fails, try
again and again if necessary, and tina
success will we'll repay for all expen
diture. To the Kansas farmer who
already has alfalfa, we would say
RAISE MORE.

ABOUT ALFALFA.
Extracts From Bulletin No. ia, Prepared by The
Kansas State Agricultural College,

several crops each year. A poor stand
means low yield every cutting every
year, so long as the alfalfa stands.
In general, it may be said that fall
seeding is advisable wherever the
proper conditions for seed-bed ia re-
gard to moisture aud mocha -
diti0n can be 60 ---lcal con-
earle g. -~0ured in August or
- september. In some years. in
sumo sections Of Kansas, the condi-
lions for fall sowing may be secured
Out graSShoppers will DESTROY the
young plants.
In the western part of the state the
oeS1 conditions in regard to moisture
are found in the spring, and spring
seeding is generally preferable. The
seeding should be done as early
as possible and avoid heavy
froSts. In the northern half Of the
state, the first fifteen days of April is
usually the best time. In the south
ern part OF the state seeding may be
done slightly earlier. The majority
OF failures in spring seeding, when
the ground is properly prepared, are
due to late sowing. With late seeding
the weeds are liable to get ahead of
the young plants and the supply of
moisture is less likely to be suffi Gent.
SEED.
We recommend twenty pounds of
seed per acre. With every condition
favorable, experienced alfalfa-growerS
sometimes succeed in getting a good
stand by using ten TO fifteen pounds
of seed per acre, but this small guam
tity is not generally sufficient. Where
there are indications of dry weather
to follow seeding or other unfavorable
conditions, we some times use thirty
pounds Of seed per acre. 1t pays to
use enough seed to secure a good
stand, as alfalfa, unlike clover, never
thickenS and the number of plants
per acre tends to continually decrease.
Good seed is the cheapest. Especial
care is necessary to secure seed that
is free from the admixture of the seed
OF Russian thistle.
HOW TO SOW.
Generally the best way to SOW alfalfa
is with a preSs-drill. Mix the seed
with equal parts by measure of coarse
cornchOp. bran or fine Sawd uSt; drill
and crosS-drill. sowing half the seed
each way. If either a hoe or disk
drill is used, care must be taken not
to get the seed too deep; about twelve
times the diameter of the see d is the
proper depth, if this places the seed
in moist soil.
Alfalfa should be sown alone. 1t
does not need a nurse crop. Some
times good stand is secured when
alfalfa is seeded with some other crop
but many times it fails utterly
Young alfalfa is delicate plant, and
it needs all the moisture, plant-food
and sunshine available, and usually
when it has to share these with an
other crop it dies.
WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA FOR HAY.
Alfalfa should be cut when not
more than one-tenih of the plants
have come in bloom. Cut at this

ApApTABIL1Ty TO DETERRENT SOILS.

ADAPTAPILITY TO DIFFERENT SOILS.
Alfalfa is adapted tn a wide range
of soils and climate. 4p Kansas it
will make the greatest growth on rich
well drained bottem land where the
sqbsoil, while nab sand of gravel, is
porous, It has been gFawH for years
on the farm nf the Kansas State Agri'
cultural College on high upland
where the soil Is stiff -hard-pan and
where it is lsQ feet w water. The
yield on this land averages more tn an
three tons per acre per year. On
better land the yield is four to six
tons per acre.
Alfalfa makes the strongest growth
and lives longest On rather heavy land
.nat is we'll supplied with lime, On
sandy Svlr the growth ia vigorous
when moisture is abundant, but dur
ing drought alfalfa suffers severely on
sandy soils. 1t is much shorter-lived
on sandy than on heavy soils, one
reason probably being the lack Of
potash and lime. 1t is somewhat diff
ticult to get stand of alfalfa on waxy
gumbO soils, but once stand is
secured heavy crops may be expe cted
for many years, and the growth is less
effected by drought than with other
soils.
CONDITIONS DEMANDED BY ALFALFA A.
The young alfalfa plant is one of
the weakest plants grown on Kansas
farms. 1t grows slowly, is a weak
feeder, and is easily checked or killed
by weeds and by unfavOrable condi-
lions Of soil, weather or treatment.
Mature alfalfa is a most vigorous
plant. 1t grows down deeply in the
soil, is a vigorous feeder, and lives and
yields we'll under many unfa vorable
conditions. For this reason it will
pay well to give the baby alfalfa plant
good care and favorable surroundings
for the first year of its life
The conditions demanded by alfalfa
are abundant moisture, a perfect seed
bed, fertile soil at seeding, a good
drainage, and no weeds. The cheap
est method to secure these conditions
on the farm where alfalfa is TO be
seeded is the method to adopt. Each
farm will require slightly different
treatment from neighboring farms.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.
The ground for alfalfa should be
thoroughly pulverized and deeply
ly plowed, but it must be well Sc titled
before seeding and only the surface
loose. Alfalfa will usually fail il seed
ed on freshly plowed ground. II it is
necessary to pillow the ground before
seeding, pillow as early as possible,
harrow thoroughly, making d good
seed-bed, and then wait until a good
rain has settled the soil before seed
ing.
WHEN TO SOW.
Sow whenever the soil, moisture,
seed-bed and weather are in the con-
dltion. Do not SOW until you have
all Of these right. If you have to wait
