ment; not directly perhaps; not ap-
parently, it may be, but in fact, yes;
and it is here that it's chief opportun-
ity and responsibility will lie The
agricultural press serves half of all
gear. My best word is, do not be dis
couraged, and do not fear repeating
and repeating the cardinal principles
in matters agricultural.
American agricultural development
has only commenced, and no one is
able to foretell the end. I am struck
by the fact that most men seem to
assume that we must ultimately
choose between the system of i'm
mense land holdings on the one hand
and small peasant holdings on the 9TH
er, after the fashion of the two Eu-
ropean extremes. To my mind, we
shall see nei her extreme, but mean
between the two, with the holding
large enough to proftably engage the
time and service of the best men, and
yet not so large as to make the farm
er simply tax gatherer, robbing the
land of it's fertility, the country of its
homes, and our descendants of their
natural heritage. Against land piracy
in all it's forms agricultural, the press
is the chief protector, and I fervently
hope it will set it's face squarely
against it's extension in this country.
Last but not least, we are not to
forget that organizations may fail to
discharge their duties and may neg
lect Or refuse to inaugurate needed
Improvements; colleges and stations
may prove recalcitrants; institutes
may become apathetic; expositions
may need purifying. Against these
contingencies who shall keep the
watchful eye to call these forces to
book for neglect of duty and recall
them to the discharge of their natural
obligations? Who but the agricul
tural press?
"And so it is that of all influences
operating for the elevation Of agricul-
ture, none other is so far-reaching,
none so potent, none so Indispensable
as this exponent of better thought that
we call the press"

ALFALFA ON OVERFLOW LANDS.


We are continually learning new
things about alfalfa, SO that it be-
comes necessary occasionally to revise
our ideas. During the past few
months a number of well-authenti-
Gated instances have been brought to
light where alfalfa is thriving perfect
ly this year, although it was flooded
many feet deep last winter.
r. e. Smith, Grayson county, Teyas.
tells me that part of his alfalfa fed
was covered seven feet deep by wa
ter, and that a large amount OF sed1-
ment settled on the land. AS soon as
the water went down and the ground
became dry enough to work, he went
over the field with disk harrow and
the alfalfa showed no i'll effect from
the flooding.
c. M. A. Smith, Onondaga county,
New York, who lives in a section
where alfalfa has been grown for
many years, sends me a de allied ac-
count of a field of alfalfa in his vi
cinity which was overfowed in 1902
to the depth of foot or more, and in
1903 it was overf1oWed again and ice
formed to the thickness of an inch or
more. The water raised this ice an
average of two or more inches and
then froze solid Quoting from Mr..
Smiths letter:
when spring broke, the flats were
covered wi water for considerable
period before this water subsidized.
While the plants looked weak, they
still lived and the owner has just har-
vested the second cutting. The soil
of this field is what we could call a
limestone soil with gravel beds on it"
Continuing, Mr.. Smith says: "In
visiting the place today, | found a
heavy, hardy field of alfalfa, yielding,
l should judge, nearly two tons to the
acre of cured alfalfa hay of very fine
quality"
These facts seem to indicate that
there is a difference between the over
flowing of an alfalfa field by stream
and flooding it from an irrigation
ditch. This may be due to the litfer-
ence in the season of the year When
the overflow occurs, the flooding from
irrigation occurring during the grow.
ing period, while the overflow from q
stream usually takes place during the
dormant season.
The temperature OF tne water may
also have something to do with it. In
the summer season in the West it is
practically always clear weather, and
in the daytime may become quite
warm. Irrigation water left standing
upon the fields has it's temperature
considerably elevated in few days,
while the water from a flowing stream
remains cold Ano her possible factor
may be found in the atmospheric oxy-
gen dissolved in the water. The flow
ing water would be well supplied with
this, which would enable the alfalfa
plant to breathe normally.

AS an offset to a decrease in produc-
ton of wool in some localities there
has been some falling off in consump-
ton, owing to the lock of employment
of machinery that was busy in the
winter which then was consuming
probably 50,000,000 pounds per month.
The decrease in consumption has, it is
estimated, reduced the latter for the
months of June and July to about 35,-
100000 pounds per month, which
probably takes care of the 25,000,000
pounds decrease in the total supply.

THE PLACE OF THE PRESS IN AG-
RICULTURAL ADVANCE.

In his address before the Illinois
Association of Agricultural Editors, at
it's recent dinner in Chicago, Prof.
E. Davenport, dean of the Illinois Col
lege of Agriculture. took occasion to
pay high tribute to the press of Illi-
nois for it's service in behalf of that
institution and said that a critical mo-
ment in the history of the college it
was the action of the editorial associ-
alton that saved the day and made the
succeeding rapid and substantial
growth of the college possible. But
the more important features of the
deans address related to the place oc-
cupied by the agricultural press in the
broad field of agricultural advance,
and in the following we quote from his
remarks on that point:
"To my mind the work of the agri-
cultural press is only in it's infancy
Let the organizations, the college, the
station, the fairs, the ins flutes do all
they can and yet the field of the pa
per remains unoccupied. All these 9TH
er influences are periodic. The organ
izations meet once a year. The fairs
and the Institutes are annual events
as well; the station publishes not reg
ularly, but at considerable intervals
Now, the paper is a weekly, or at
the longest, monthly visitor, and
this, more than any other power, will
keep the public headed in the right
direction. The sta ion publishes but
once upon a subject, and often the
matter is so new that it goes unheed-
ed unless it is followed up. The sta
tion can learn facts, but it cannot in
sist that they shall be put into prac-
tice, nor indeed can it spend it's ener-
gies urging their adoption.
''The periodical is the good mission
ary that iterates and reiterates until
the matter has become common prac-
tice, and it is the only agency known
to man whereby matter can be kept
constantly before the mind, until it
becomes incorporated into our daily
life. We learn things by repetition,
and we learn to do them by repeated
instructions, not to say nagging.
Again, the college, the station, the or
ganizations, and even the exposition,
reach only the few directly the masses
only indirectly; but the periodical
reaches everybody Thus it's inf1u-
ence is not circumscribed, but unlim-
tied.
"More than in the past the press
will shape practice and mould senti-

Good Advice to Agricultural College
Bows.

Col. J. w. Robson, the veteran
Percheron and Shorthorn breeder of
Towanda, Kan, gave this advice to
the Iowa Agricultural College boys
who attended the American Royal:
Boys, l suppose a good many of you
expect to be farmers. Let me give
you some advice from my own expert
ence. When you start farming, no
matter if you are renter, get two
fine mares, two fine cows, two fine
sows, and the best hens you can buy.
They will cost a good deal more than
scrubs, but the difference in a few
years will he immense. Sell their
male progeny and keep the female.
