Alfalfa and Prosperity.

F ID. Coburn, secretary OF the state
board of agriculture, has issued a
bulletin on his observations regard
ing alfalfa in Kansas. The bulletin
says in part: Since the considerable
Introduction of alfalfa into Kansas
Is years ago, no plant has
and stockmen or increased SO rapid
ly in acreage. 1t is noteworthy,
if not significant, that the states
present area of unprecedented pros
perity dates from about the time al
falfa was first shown proper appre-
citation by its farmers In Kansas al
falfa has been a potent factor in IN
creasing bank deposits and prosperity
AS its value has come to be more
and more recognized its area has been
constantly extended, as shown by the
annual statistics. In 1891 there were
in the state only 34,3S4 acres, but in
1906 Jewell county alone had A.
900 acres and the state 615,000 acres
1t has quadrupled the states output
of tame hay. In 1891 the tame hay
aggregated 401 GAO tons, while in 1906
the total was 1,6S2,699 TONS The
value of the 1891 crop was 100000
while that of 1906 was worth more
than s1O,5oO, 900. Its increase in es-
TEEN is indicated anew by the 1907
assessors reports received thus far
by the state board of agriculture from
46 of the los counties, which show
gains in alfalfa of nearly 10000 acres
since one year ago, or an increase OF
25 per cent.

The custer suit against the Western

neys make 81 separate assignments
of error in the case which they asked
the United States court to correct.
Most of these alleged errors are
claimed on the ground that the court
did not give the proper Interpretation
of the Kansas statutes. The company
contends that the state has no right
to interfere as long az the company
transacts an interstate BUSINESS and
a part of its business is of an inter
state or purely domestic nature

Latest Kansas Events.
Cooperative Experiments.

A two days session of the second
annual meeting of the Cooperative
Experiment association of the great
plains area was opened at. Manhat-
tan by an address of welcome by
President Nichols of the Kansas state
agricultural college. He was followed
oy Director E. A. Burnett of Lincoln,
Neb., who emphasized the following
points: Necessity of conservation of
soil moisture by four-inch mulch of
pulverized soil. Crops best suited for
dry plains are those. which mature be-
fore the summer drought, such as win
ter wheat, early oats, barley, sorghum
and alfalfa. Raising alfalfa on table
lands, where $40 land will produce a
$40 crop of alfalfa seed The results
of experimental stations should be
used to assist residents, not stimu-
late immigration DR.. F. J. Away of
Nebraska gave an instructive lecture
on the soil studies recently made. al
Indian Head, Canada. DIR. Kearney
of the department of agriculture gave
olive raising at Tunis, Africa, as a
highly successful example of dry land
culture, adapted to this country. Prof
E. G. Montgomery, spoke upon COM
paratiye cost of crop production in
humid and dry climates He said
while statistics available are not re-
liable, it appears that the cost is about
the same for both. 1t is the concensuS
of opinion that crops On dry plains
should be raised on alternative years
only and that the intervening years
should be given to-eonserving mois-
ture. The Campbell system of inten-
sive dry farming was criticised in that
it does not provide a method of re-
turning organic matter to the soil.
This meeting is primarily for the pur-
pose of comparing experiments of the
government experts employed in the
eleven experiment stations located in
the plains area from Texas to Canada.
About So experiment station men take
an active part in the discussions, in
Guiding all phases of dry farming. The
meeting will be held in Fargo next
