ALFALFA FOR THE DESERT.
Scotch Professor Says Dry Land
Should Produce Well.

Prof. Robert Wallace of Edinburgh
university, an educator of internation-
al.fame and ain authority on agricul-
tural science, was the guest of honor
last night at dinner in the Denver
club, says the Denver News.
Prof. Wallace is touring this coun-
try for purposes of research and is
delving into American methods with
a view of applying them to the agri-
cultural development of Scotland.
"There are vast districts in Colo
rado," he said, "now covered with a
growth of sagebrush which could be
converted into excellent farming land,
suitable for raising all kinds of grains.
There are certain kinds of alfalfa
practically unknown in this country,
which Withstand the frost of high al
titudes, and which l am sure would
thrive In this state without irrigation.
III the state authorities would go
into the matter thoroughly, Colorado
would become one of the greatest ag-
ricultural states of this country and
would induce an enormous immigra-
ton. In passing through the Bear
river district was struck with the
similarity OF the soil to that at the
foot of the Andes mountains In South
America, where vast quantities OF
sugar cane is raised.
"The Bear river valley impresses me
, as being eminently adapted to raising
broom corn.
