More About Alfalfa.

The following communication has
been received from. one of our sub
scribers, Mr.. o. M. @. Branford:
Il would like to get some in
formation as to seeding and raising
alfalfa. l am going to seed about
four acres of alfalfa this season, but
do not know whether to seed in the
spring or fall. The ground is we'll
drained and has been seeded in
clover for three years and mas had
two coats Of manure during that
time. 1t was plowed last fall so it
can be worked into an ideal seed
bed with very little weeds to bother.
Would it be best to have a nurse
crop, or not, if seeded in the spring?
Will it produce any hay the first
year it is seeded in the spring? Ii
not would it not be just as wise to
sow some kind of grain in the spring
and plow the ground and seed in
alfalfa after the harvest so as tc
make use of the ground this season!
Please give all the information pos.
sible concerning the difficulties in
getting a stand and how to overcome
them"
There is more than one way OF
getting a stand of alfalfa. conse
quently it is not possible to lay
down the exact law which, if follow
ed, will insure success. AS tn,
land in question was plowed las
fall and as it is free from weeds, WI
believe that in this instance it shoult
be seeded in the spring. AS sool
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1907-04-24

as the soil is dry enough to work
without pudding, harrow down the
seed bed 80 as to make conditions
favorable to weed growth. Let the
land remain in that condition for
two or three weeks until the spring
grain is in and then thoroughly dis
turb all weeds either with q disk or
with harrow. When this is done,
SOW the seed at a rate of about
twenty pounds per acre and. thor
oughly harrow it in. Do not be
afraid of covering the seed too much
so long as you use an implement
that is no heavier than the harrow.
If weather conditions are favorable
the crop will soon come up and it
may hold its own against weeds.
However, if the weeds seem to be
getting start, do not hesitate to
cut weeds, alfalfa and all back the
first season with the mower. Alfalfa
will take root under such treatment
and the probabilities are that the
second year it will have things it's
own way.
Of course there are instances
where men have succeeded quite
well by sowing the alfalfa early in
the spring along with oats and bar
ley. Naturally, barley is better be-
cause it does not grow so rank in
the straw and is therefore not so
liable to choke out the alfalfa. The
only danger is that when the cereal
is cut the hot weather is sometimes
a little hard on alfalfa.
Then of course there remains the
plan of sowing a cereal crop early
in the spring, plowing the land as
soon as it is removed and fitting the
seed bed SO that the alfalfa can be
seeded anywhere from the first to
the tenth of August. The objection
to this plan is that there lis not
sufficient moisture every year to
start the plants early enough so
that there is enough growth before
the ground freezes. This condition
prevailed last year in many parts OF
the corn belt, and men who did not
get their alfalfa in about the first Of
August are very much discouraged
over their stand, because after the
middle of August there was in
sufficient moisture to germinate the
crop until on into September. II
We have given the ordinary |
methods of putting in a crop. Of |
alfalfa and leave it to this sub.
scriber and others who are interested |
in the subject to choose which one |
fits their conditions. We regret to |
say that there is risk enough that
one will lose his labor and his I'D
no matter which plan is tried, and |
yet where the crop thrives it iswell |
worth the effort required to obtain a |
good good stand Homestead.

A Good Way to Seed Alfalfa.

L The following communication has
been received from a subscriber, Mr..
Paul F. Werner, of Doniphan coun-
ty, Kan:
I'm recent issue of your paper
pne of your subscribers from Doni-
Phan county, Kansas, gave his,ex-
perlence with alfalfa, so | thought |
would express a few thoughts on
the same subject. / have had ex-
salient results from plowing land
early in the spring and keeping It
in a good state Of cultivation until
about the first Of August. Alfalfa
of all crops must be- seeded on a
well-prepared soil or it will not
flourish. The cultivation DESTROYS
weeds in addition to bringing the
soil into fine state of tilth. If you
sow the alfalfa in the spring you.
will find it necessary to cut the.
weeds back with the mower two or
three times and, all things consider
ed, l think it is much better to
destroy the weeds with cultivation
and therefore give the crop every
possible chance after it is seeded.
OF course it requires considerable
labor and your soil is producing
nothing part of one year, neverthe-
less alfalfa is a crop that will pay
well for taking this time with the
preparation of the seed bed"
The plan here suggested works
exceedingly well in many cases. It
corresponds somewhat closely to the
plan of summer following land for
winter wheat.
In many cases where oat, wheat
or barley stubble is plowed in July
or August, in order to prepare the
soil for alfalfa, the land becomes so
dried out that there is not enough
moisture to germinate the seed. 1t
is not uncommon to have the seed
remain in the ground several weeks
in the fall before it terminates, and
when this is the case the crop hard
ly ever makes top enough to go
through the winter satisfactorily.
UP to the present time the matter
of obtaining stand of alfalfa is by
no means an exact science, and we are
not sure but what the plan here
suggested comes as near being a
scientific plan as any other method
that has been advocated. Home

A French business man visiting
in this country is quoted as saying
that what surprises him most is the
reckless way in which our people
spend money. In France every la
borer, no matter how humble or how
small his pay, contriyes to save
something year by year. There also
business men work and save and
look forward to being able to retire.
Here, on the contrary, as this French
man observes, workingmen seem to
be bent more upon spending their
earnings than saving, while business
men appear never to think of retir-
ing, but work on for the mere sake
of working and accumulating and
displaying their riches in generous
living and expenditure.

A remark passed by Foreman
Smith Of the Thaw jury in regard to
one of the other jurors, who wanted
to open the jury proceedings with
prayer and then stood out for mur-
der in the first degree, shows up the
character of more men than the one
to whom Smith referred. He said
this man was going through life
with murder in one hand and pray
er in the other. There are lots Of
people in this world who are like
this juror, who are carrying an offer
ing of prayer in one hand and a
willingness to persecute, if not mur-
der, in the other. PRAYER is the
grandest thing in the world but
when it is offered up to God on high
by a man who has such ideas OF
what constitutes christianity as this
man had, it is sacreligious.-Water-
loo Times Tribune.

HOW TESTS ARE MADE.

''What we do is this: Go to the
county at seeding time, take from
the seed boxes on the planters Of
100 farmers samples of the seed
corn they are actually planting,
plant it on the county farm, three
rows of one mans seed, then three
rows of another, and SO on, all plain
ly marked, repeating the three rows
three times, giving all the same or
dinary cultivation. At corn gather.
ing time we have a picnic, where
everybody can see what Il Q results
are. Do we find a difference in the
results? Well, yes; the difference is
often SO amazing that farmers say
they never would have believed it
had they not been able to see for
themselves.
"Take Taylor county as a sample,
for it is perhaps an average. The
best ten samples yielded seventy
eight bushels per acre; the lowest
IoA my Ousnels per acre. Ihere
were 100000 acres of corn in the
county. If one l per cent of that
corn averaged as low as 10 per cent
OF the samples, and we could by
seed selection make itassgoodas the
best, we would have added 100000
bushels to the crop sEijhe comfy.
These are results TIN
Il only wish we oSal ldo this ex.
perimental work in every county
not only with seed corn and othel
crops, but with alfalfa and with
milking machines and testing fence
posts and in score of ways.p-Ce

Sold Out to Rockefeller.

New YORK, April 14.-After de-
flying John d. Rockefeller for more
than three years and resisting the
Establishments of the millionaire's
gold William Everson, the negro
owner of a six-acre farm on Butter
milk hill, Mt. Pleasant, adjoining
the county seat of the Standard Oil
magnate, Westchester county, has
capitulated and sold his property.
AS Mr.. Rockefeller had previously
bought all the other farms in that
Immediate neighborhood, he is now
the sole owner of more than 5000
acres of picturesque country extend
ing from the village of Hawthorne,
on the Harlem railroad, to. .Pocantico
hills, on the line Of the Putname
division.
How much money Everson re-
ceived is a secret, but it is on record
that three years ago Mr.. Rockefeller
offered $1,000 for the land and the
two-story frame house occupied by
Everson and his family. and it is be-
lieved that there must have been an
increase in the price since then.
Possibly Eversol has obtained
$4,000 or $4,000, but whatever the
amount it has brought the negro
householder to terms and removes
the only thorn in the side of the
millionaire 80 far as his country
home il concerned.
But there is one condition which
Everson insisted on before he con.
sented to sign the deeds, and tha,
was that his maiden sister, Maria
who haa lived in his home for many
years and who is now old and feeble
should not be disturbed during hel
lifetime and that the old hous.
should not be moved until hel
death.
Mr.. Rockefeller's agents triet
hard to induce Everson to have tn,
old woman installed in little hous,
at some distant point, but the negr,
was immovable on that point. as hi,
sister had always said she asked bu
one thing and that was to be per
mitted to spend her last hours in tn,
old home on Buttermilk hill. So th,
man ofmillions was finally compelled
to accept that provision of the bar
gain.

Agricultural Extent,on is Popular i,
Iowa. -

a SCI
The legislature gave to the col.
lege authorities at Ames $27, 900 for
use in agricultural work. A vastl,
larger sum could we'll have been
used in this work.
Prof. Holden was in the, cit4 on
his way to the southern part Of the
state to arrange for experimental
work on county farms.
There are two ways in which
this extension work is being carried
on" he said, sin the conduct of short
courses of study and in experiment
work on county farms. Last winter
we had short courses at four places
Mount Pleasant, Red Oak, Lenox,
and Bedford-aside from Ames.
Now we have applications for these
short courses at twenty-eight other
places in the state. We have agreed
to go to Marshalltown, Manchester,
Storm Lake and some other places,
Cedar Rapids is insisting We have a
short course there. The demand is
SO great we will have to organize at
least two complete corps of instruc-
tors, and then will not be able to do
half what we should do.
"Just now we are interested in the
farm experiment work. We have
done lot of talking about these
things, but the way to convince the
people is to demonstrate what we
say. Last year we conducted expert
mental work on the county farms in
Sioux, Kossuth, Chickasaw, Greene,
Marshall, Story, Polk, Taylor, Mills
and Montgomery county. This,year
we add Cedar and others. ,S.
