Alfalfa Seed Scarce.

Alfalfa growers say the alfalfa
seed crop in Kansas was failure
this year and that if the acreage is
increased to any great extent next
year the seed must come from other
states. "Just as we were growing
our seed CROP" said Senator Peter
son, of Norton county, one of the
most extensive alfalfa men in the
state, 'the rainy season set in. AS
a result the seed did not fill out.
Then when it came time to harvest
the crop it began to rain again and
stuff nodded. Perhaps nine-tenths
of the seed threshed here is worth
less. But it will be PANIED off on
the inspecting farmer and they will
plant it. Then when it fails to germ
mate they declare their land is not
suitable for alfalfa and will never
again try to raise 1t, when, in fact,
if they had planted good seed they
would get good stand of alfalfa.
There will not be much increase in
Arrangement year among the big grow
ers, especially. They will wait un-
til another seed crop. Seed is to
high and the chances of getting poor
stuff are to great now to justify them
in increasing their creage.-Dodge

first premium over all breeds,
receiving therefor a handsome
