NEW VARIETY OF ALFALFA.
Prof. Hansen Finds Hardy Plant in
Northern Siberia.

After twice risking his life and
once nearly losing it in the interest of
agricultural science, Professor n. f..
Hansen, Of the South Dakota expert
ment station of the department of ag-
riculturc, has found in northern ST.
IBERIA an alfalfa suited to the arid
lands of the north where the winters
are bitter cold
Professor Hansen got on the track
of the alfalfa a year ago, hut was so
late in searching for it that he was
badly frozen in Siberia. Despite this
experience he made another trial this
year and has just informed Secretary
Wilson that he has been successful
and is on his way back with seed.
The alfalfa Professor Hansen has
discovered has a yellow flower in
stead of blue one. 1t is a native OF
the dry steppes of Siberia and grows
wei where the mercury falls to 30 OF
40 below zero. The country is exceed
ingly dry and yet the new alfalfa is
an excellent forage plant. Professor
Hansen has secured the seed and II
will receive a thorough test in the
near future by the department.

found there and that the quality is
that of ordinary bituminous coal
There are indications that the coal
measure extends southwark to the
Calapooia mountains.
West of Cottage Grove crop
pings have been found at the Lehman
place north of Crow, at Lucas creek
Frady place, and at McKernan, points
on a line extending south to the main
ridge of the Calappia. The distance
from Lehman's to McKernan's is six
miles by way of the road, and as the
crow flies, four miles.
Though these groupings were found
years ago, and a little digging done,
it was only miners prospect holes at
every place save Lucas, where about a
ton of coal was picked out from the
slate chips and taken to Eugene
where it was tested in a blacksmith
forge. 1t burned, but was not consid-
cred flrst-class. Neither would any
bitumincps coal give satisfactory re-
suits in smiths forge.
