The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-06-15

The high price of alfalfa seed should
serve as an inducement to more of our
farmers to save a part Of the crop this
year for this purpose. We have in
mind one man who last season received
s610.93 for a wagon load of alfalfa
seed. The load weighed 5,4S3 pounds
and the price was II cents pound.
1t is evident that we have not enough
alfalfa acreage in this state to meet
all the demands which modern COM
merce has laid upon the great legume
We certainly are not producing enough
seed while the feeders are not leaving
many haystacks to adorn the landscape
these days. The price of all kinds of
hay the country over has averaged $12
a ton for the last three years and this
is evidence that the market is still open
for more forage Of this class. The al
falfa mills up north are contracting
loose hay at 1925 the ton and greatly
increased acreage is going in to supply
this trade alone for there is more money
in it than in the wear and tear of the
sugar beet business. The most i'm
portant duty of every alfalfa grower
this year is to attend to having the al
falfa cut at the proper time and put
into stack with the least possible
bleaching. The market is making greater
distinction each year in the matter of
quality and to get the best price for
hay it must be made right.

Burch Brothers Not to Blame.

The publishers of The Ranch wish
to state to those readers who became
interested in the recent advertisement
of Burch Bros. poultry dealers of Sc
attic, and sent for booklets, which the
advertisement stated would be sent on
application, that the delay in receiving
these booklets is not the fault of Burch
Bros These booklets were ordered about
two months ago by the poultry house
from the printing department of The
Ranch, and Burch Bros. should have
received them and expected to receive
them fully a month ago, but a break
down in the machinery used by the
printing department for booklet work
has delayed The Ranch in getting these
booklets out and therefore the pub
fishers of this paper are to be blamed
instead of Burch Bros These booklets
will be out very shortly, and then the
four or five hundred people who replied
10 this advertisement and have sent in
for booklets will receive the same
promptly. The firm of Burch Bros. is
an absolutely reliable concern and will
carry out any promises they advertise to
the letter Otherwise they would not
be advertising in The Ranch, for this
paper does not accept any save the adj
vertisement of reliable concerns. BY
protecting our readers to this extent we
make those advertisements which do
appear all the more valuable to those
who pay for them.

The legumes such as alfalfa, clover
cleome peas, beans and vetches are
particularly valuable for cover crops
in an orchard because of the power
they alone possess of gathering nitrogen
from the air and this off year is good
time to seed a plantation down to some
of these nitrifiers other plants used
for this purpose give to the soil only
the elements of fertility which they
have absorbed from it, but as we have
said a thousand times before legumes
actually add a valuable element. Glover
is not desirable as a cover crop II 1T is
to be turned under the spring after the
sowing as it does not make heavy
gowth in this dry climate until the
second year. On the other hand, al
falfa will not do if it is to stand in
the orchard for several years, as the
roots become so large it is vey diff
cult to pillow up. Crimson clocer is
highly recommended for cover cropping
by eastern people but is complete
failure out here and we have never had
any use for it since we failed to make
il grow as far back as 1886, For
late sown crop to be turned under the
following spring the large seeded

the courts as they declare it is at vari-
ance with the constitution of the state.
Much comment has been aroused, not
only in the state but at every point
where commission goods are handled
In the New York Produce Review re-
Gently appeared the following comments
on this law in it's relation to the Ma
tional Poultry and Game association:
AN instance of the absurd and un-
reasonable laws often made is shown
by the recent law passed in Washing
ton which compels commission men to
file bond and also make a detailed
statement to the state authorities of
all goods handled on commission. The
law is clearly unconstitutional but hav-
ing been passed is causing all kinds of
trouble. The Seattle produce mems
association and merchants generally
throughout the state are taking steps
to have it declared illegal. One of the
objects of our national association is
to guard against just such legislation
and while our organization is too young
and weak at present to endeavor to
cover the entire country, it is in posi-
ton and strong enough to prevent any
such unreasonable and unjust bills from
making much Roadway in some states
and as the good work being done is
more appreciated the increased mem
bership will allow the organization to
spread it's work over a wider territory
so that in time it's power will be as
evident over the entire country as 1T is
now in comparatively small section
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-06-15

plants of strong terminating power are
best. Cow peas and velvet beans are
too sensitive to frost for this region,
but Canadian field peas and vetches
are excellent and as they are ANIMALS
they will not set no any detrimental
conditions for the future. Our Colo
RADIO cleome is out of the running be-
cause the seed is no available in
quantities. Among the non-leguminouS
cover crop plants the best are turnips
and rape and these are especially valu-
able when a fellow has a little band
of sheep to turn in along in September
Fall wheat sown now, or oats, rye and
barley are all right but buckwheat is
too uncertain because it sunblasts bad
ly in this country. All the grains are
excessively drying to the soil if al
lowed to head and should be grazed off
or turned under before they reach that
stage.

perhaps have begun to Sprout. To make
them as mealy as possible pare them
and drop into cold water several hours

salt when they are half done. When

CENTREVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 10.-A
D. Zaugel, carpenter at the Carmack
mines on Blue Buck creek, was bound
over today by Esq. w. E. Easley in
the sum of $3.50, on a charge of using
dynamite in that stream. His con-
viction may deter others from using
the deadly explosion in the streams of
this section. Many fish, have been
killed and those escaping driven out
of some streams by dynamiting. A
citizen reports that he has seen dead
fish floating down Duck river, that
were killed by dynamiters. Swan
creek, one of the most noted streams
in the state, has not escaped the ruth
less vandals, and unless the law is
strictly enforced, the supply Of fish
will soon become so diminished that
the stream will no longer afford sport
for those who spend few days each
season hooking the game fish. The
sentiment here is for a drastic en-
forcement of the law against ~dyna-
miters. 4.-, ,--

TO BUILD GREATER
DREADNAUGHT
AMERICAN SHIP DESIGNERS BE-
LIEVE THEY CAN BEAT
THE BIGGEST.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Naval cir
cles are agitated over a report tina
the British Admiralty is about to lay
down the keel for a giant ship thai
win be so per cent. greater ifr tonnage
than the "Dreadnaught."
1t is difficult to secure any informa
itfoT respecting tfe plans Of thfs STRIP
and 1t is said that the British Gov
eminent is proceeding as it did in the
case of the Dreadnaught, to build the
vessel behind closed gates.
The report of the British plan has
caused some Of the holder spirits
among American ship designers to
proceed to propose the laying down OF
battleship of 10000 tons displace-
ment, placing the American navy
clearly in the lead,
Naval designers are believed to be
willing to undertake the construction
of such ship. 1t would cost at least
$20,000,000 but in view of the pre-
dominance 1t would give to America
as a naval power, 1t is argued by the
advocates OF the proposition that such
ship would be an economical invest
ment BY tending to insure peace.
