The pea vines will probably furnish

places put in tile drainage. In October
work the soil until it is perfectly fine
and level then with a good drill; drill in
not less than thirty pounds of pure fresh
alfalfa seed per acre. Divide the seed
into two equal parts; drill tn field one
way with half of the seed. then turn and
drill the other half across tie field at
right angles. But before sowing or drill
ing the alfalfa seed ! would SOW broad
rye for a nurse crop"
This" | said, is the shortest way to
get that field set to alfalfa"
But some one is ready to say, This is
too much work. 1t is the only way that
the growing of alfalfa can be made a
success on this neld. The owner is forced
to admit that his plan has been a total
failure. This is given because we fully
believe that many of our readers have
just such conditions, and many have made
failures in trying to grow alfalfa on soils
that had no preparation to meet the re-
quirements of the plant.
| mentioned | efore that If our readers
would write me full description of their
lands | would try to tell them how to
prepare them so as to make alfalfa
success. On this farm saw, and saw
at once, just what would be required in
order for it to produce payins crops of
alfalfa. l have also had chance this
spring to see the full force of my advice
In sowing rye for a nurse crop for alfalfa.
This has been a season heavy wash
ing rains; now where rye was sown last
fall with the alfalfa it has held the soil
from washing, and has also prevented
growth of foul weeds The rye, of course,
will outgrow the clover plants but 1t can
be clipped off with the moving machine
pastured down nth light stock when
the soil is dry.
Another object in writing this is that
no one should hesitate a moment about
trying to grow alfalff. because of the
failures that have been made, for with
tie right kind of soil preparation alfalfa
will succeed.

ing at will. going to seed to stock up other
portions OF the farm and neighbors'
farms
Now what | started out for mainly was
to give a comparison of alfalfa growing.
AS We neared large field almost leveD
or this farm | noticed that the weeds
we're about knee high and growing fast. [
asked why the land had been left so late
without having been plowed. The an
swer was: THAT field is set in alfalfa"
1t was very well that ! was informed of
this, for in driving along the road by the
field | should never have known that
there was any alfalfa on the field. But
after being thus informed a closer look
among the weeds revealed some alfalfa
plants, striving to get their heads above
the weeds. I said to the gentleman IF
this was my farm and / had the means
al my command that you have. | would
start some big moving machines right
away in the morning, and put in some
big turning plows right behinl the NOW
ing machines and turn all those weeds
right under Now is the time | said.
Ito kill those weeds: the rains have
caused them to make rapid growth:
tLey are full of sap and If cut and turn
ed under now you would get clear of them
for all time.
How to Get Alfalfa.
But how to get stand of alfalfa was
the question. Now there is one thing GER
tain, you can never secure stand of
alfalfa on such a field by sowing seed
down on top of the ground Tor the weeds
will always get a start and choke 1t out.
But l went on to say, IF it is alfalfa
that you want on that 2O0-acre field | will
tell you exactly how to get it, Commence
with the moving machine and turning
plows. and as sool as the weeds are
turned under SOW broadcast at least fifty
bushels of jure rock lime per acre, which
will prevent the heavy growth of weeds
turned under from making the soil sour.
Harrow this lime into the SC as soon as
the weeds are fully rotted, which will
be but short time, harrow and work
the soil very fine and plant to COW peas.
Cut these peas for h4y and let the stubie
groy up, or pillow ana SOW a second crop

the poor Mexican or Peon farmer has
gone along using the same seed on the
same soil from generation to generation
with never a change. unless perhaps
crop failure compels him to get other
seed Here the result is from five to
six bushels per acre of poor quality OF
wheat, Here the Peon harvests his wheat
with the old-time hand sickle that our
fCrefathers used in this country over one
hundred years ago How does this system
Of farming and harvesting compare with
what we find in California and the Da
kotas whore the great wheat headers and
self binders are in use?
But conditions are changing i'm Mexico
for the better. We have farmers in va
rious sections of the United sta ties who
are giving this question of seed cOnsid-

class Of farmers should meet with more
encouragement. We might go on almost
indefinitely in the discussion of this sub
ject If space would permit If the farmer
would only stop and think this matter
over seriously he would that there
is just as much good reason in breeding
his stock to the poorest scrubs as there
is in planting this poor scrub seed The
laws of the animal and vegetable king
dom are exactly the same in this respect.
Like begets like and no farmer would
expect fine stock from scrub parents.
The only guarantee that the fa ruer has

their seed with greatest care. and the re-

Potato Crop Damaged.

Texas planted a very large acreage to
early Irish potatoes this year. Many
crops are badly damaged for want of cul-
tivatiOn and from e.;cess of moisture.
Such crops will be cut short in both yield
and quality. Besides, the crop is late and
will come on the market late. which will
put the growers at quite a disadvantage.
There was some loss of acreage by the
seed rotting and not coming up.
