GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS
WITH NEW ALFALFA.
GROWS WHERE OTHER DIES
Plant Brought from Northern Africa
Is Productive Of Some AS
tonishing Results.

AS a result of an exploration trip
and experiments made afterward, it
is now considered more than probable
that the agricultural department at
Washington will have a new variety OF
alfalfa to offer for cultivation to the
settlers of the arid and semi-arid re-
gions of the west. II the results fol
lowing the experimentation now in
progress are what there is every rea-
son for believing they will be the
new plant will be especially welcome
in the localities where because of the
strong importation of the soil with
alkali makes growing of the ordinary
variety difficult and in some instances
actually impossible.
Something over two years ago the
department sent one OF it's agents,
Thomas H. Kearney, of the bureau OF
plant industry, to Egypt, Algeria,
Turkestan and other parts of northern
Africa, the object being to gather
new plants and grains. Among other
things he brought back with him was
alfalfa from Algeria, which he found
growing in soil strongly charged with
alkali. In fact the salt vas present
in about twice the quantities in which
it is found in those regions of the
United States where alfalfa is at
tempted to be grown. He concluded
that this Algerian alfalfa, SO manifest
ly very resistant to alkali, might be
raised on lands in this country thus
far useless. "-
Proved by Experiments.
Acting on this conclusion, Mr.. Kear-
ney brought some of the seed with
him and planted a part on irrigated
land at Yuma, AriZ.; some more he
planted in southern California, still
another lot was planted in the Colo
RADIO desert, while some more was
seeded in the valley of the Pecos
in New Mexico. In each instance
alongside of the Algerian he planted
ordinary alfalfa. When harvest time
came he found that the American al
falfa had succumbed to the alkali,
while the Algerian variety, growing
in like soil and under exactly the
same conditions, returned a good crop
AS determined by measurements made
by experts it was found that the
amount of alkali in the soil where the
experiments were conducted was
fully one per cent. The ordinary
American alfalfa can grow only in
soil containing no more than one
half of one per cent of the salt.
Although greatly encouraged will
the experiments thus far, the depart
ment did not consider them as fna
and decided to experiment still an
other year. Last spring the planting
we're repeated. The results are jus
beginning to be received. The re
port from Yuma is excellent, Mr.
Kearney having received word from

Baltimore, Oct. 5.-The physicians

there that there is a fine stand OF
Algerian alfalfa. Reports from other
stations where it a planted are
also very good. A personal visit is
to be made by Mr.. Kearney to all
the places and he will make an OFF,
cial report to the department upon
his return.
May Try Again.
With the well known caution OF
scientific minds it is regarded as
likely that the department will delay
final announcement as to the out
come of the experiments until another
year. The gentleman under whose di-
rections the experiments have been
conducted said that he desired to go
to the different stations and make a
personal investigation. He wanted to
make sure, he said, that no mistake
had been made and wanted to satisfy
himself as to the conditions of growth.
In the first instance he wanted to
ascertain if the soil still contained
as high a percentage of alkali as it
did when the first planting was made,
as it was possible that some of the
salt might have been washed out by
irrigation. Then, in order to be able
to arrive at a definite and final con
c%lusion, he said it was necessary that
the experiments be repeated another
year. I'VE hardly feel like making
positive statements under a three
years trial. But we can say that
the results are entirely favorable SO
far" he added.
Still Another. m
In addition to the Algerian product
Mr.. Kearney also brought another
kind of alfalfa. This he found grow
ing in Turkestan. The soil there
was analysed and it contained one
per cen of alkali, while strong alkali
water was used for irrigation. Certain
local conditions, however, were OBJ
served which might Offset the other
conditions as regards alkali in soil
and water. The task to which the
department is applying itself is
to ascertain whether the Turkestan
alfalfa can be grown in the slightly
different surroundings Of the western
part of the United States.
What Success Means.
The government bureau OF soils has
estimated that there are at, least
600 1000 acres of irrigated land in the
United States which is rendered unfit
for cultivation by the presence o.
one per cent of alkali in the soil. With
the introduction of a species of resist
ant alfalfa, which can be made tt
grow on these lands, each acre viii
be worth at least $50, making the
total land value gained fully 100000,
900. In summing up the benefits o
the discovery, the value OF the crops
of alfalfa subsequently raised on thi:
now unproductive land should be
properly added. Estimated on thi
basis it would be easy thus to shov
how, in a very few years, three at thu
most, 500, OOO, 900 had been added t.
the wealth of the country, and of the
western farmer.
