There is no doubt in my mind that

and successful crop on river bottom

the tide lands. | have alfalfa four

flavor that they cannot find in other
pork My first experience was with
California seed, but have since used
imported seed and find II much better
the California seed costs TN cents
a pound, while the imported costs
about 20 cents. Land sown last June
was cut for hay May 30 and produced
three tons to the acre Since then
have let the stock eat It down three
times. Cows turned on green alfalfa
give to 6 quarts more milk per day.
Dalrymen at Portland say they prefer
alfalfa hay to any other for dry feed,
and | have no trouble to sell at good
prices. Some Of my best alfalfa stands
