that large increase in the volume of

The conditions Of the money market,
they say, have made impractical the

LENGTH OF ALFALFA ROOTS.
Found Hundred and Twenty.
Nine Feet i'm the Earth.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
Investigations have been made to
determine to what depth the roots OF
alfalfa will penetrate. An eight.year-
old plant 10 stiff "hardpan" subsoil
was followed to II depth ten feet with
out the end of the tap root being found.
Many instances have been recorded OF
the roots penetrating from thirty
eight TO siKty-six feet. A mining tun-
mel was eXcavated in Nevada 1919 feet
the plant were found in the roof of
the opening. The searching roots of
this wonderful plant not only obtain
food far below the shallow feeding
plants, but when the large boring
roots decay they leave their fertlizlng
ingredients and opening for air and
water to penetrate.
Alfalfa thrives best in sandy loans
of creeks and river valleys in a warm
climate and with only moderate rain
fall, but it Is grown successful on the
uplands and praries. 1t grows in altl-
tudes from eight thousand feet down
to sea level, but it is seriously affected
by cold, wet winters. A plant eigh-
teen years old, with 1874 stems grow
ing from one root, tifty-twO inches
above the ground, is product of a
Kansas field. The more alfalfa is
abused by cutting the better it will
grow. After it reaches eight inches
high the first year of sowing 1t VIII
double the amount of stalks by clip
ping. If not cut it probably will grow
up spindling and die.

The joiat resolution Of the legisla-
