SEEDING ALFALFA

Hardly mail comes to the Colorado
Agricultural college that does not con
tain an inquiry in regard to the sowing
of alfalfa, the varieties best adapted
to particular localities, the quantity of
seed required per acre, and the cond'-
tions and methods necessary for good
results.
The Colorado Experiment station has
been testing the different varieties and
endeavoring by the systematic selection
Of the best individual plants, to devcl'
op a superior type of alfalfa for hay
and seed production. The results Of
the work have been very promising in
deed. But at present there is no seed
available for distribution, although eff
forts to produce seeds for wider tests
are being put forth. The varieties
that have given the best results In
nearly all the tests have been the
northern grown types. Some. OF the
Tarkestan strains, the Grimm alfalfa,
and the varieties which have been in
tsoduced under the name OF the Sand
Lueesns, are the most hardy and Wig
oroas types. The Arabian variety has
not been hardy, even in Southern Col.

on the floats decorated with signs snd

twelve block procession.

Their martial music added to the
spirit Of the occasion.
The Teller Indians with their fam.
Gus band and marching batslions were
notable feature of the parade. These
little men who kept step 50 well and
were out in force were well drilled,
and their sober actions caused much
merriment. The band was quite large,
and their music proved to be \ great
help in the parade.
The parade formed At 1880, psrading
the streets until 8:l5, when the chill

and the southwestern states, has reach
ed US by what might be called the
southern route, i. e., il was brought
over by the Spaniards into South Am,
erica. Then acro1s into Chill, and
thence north into the southern and the
southwestern part of the United States.
While it has been a great acquisi
tion to our western agriculture, it han
lacked hardness to some extent, and
this probably accounts for the extrava.
giant recommendation for planting from
twenty TO thirty pounds of seed to the
acre.
Usually it is the lack of proper con.
ditions rather than the lack Of quan
tity of seed that is responsible for the
failure in getting the stand of alfalfa
A pound of alfalfa contains about 1885,
900 seeds, and ten pounds of seed per
acre would give fifty or sixty more of
the seeds to square foot of ground.
If the seed is vigorous and hardy, and
the conditions favorable, ten pounds
of seed should insure a stand of from
three to five good stools per foot, which
is sufficient.
Alfalfa is as hardy as clover and it
should be sown early in the spring,
to get good start and to have the
spring rains, which will insure Its good
growth. For twelve years we have
.own alfalfa seed the last of March,
or the frs. of April, and we have new.
er had a failure at Rocky Ford, Colo
RADIO. On several occasions the young
alfalfa seedlings survived freeze of
from five to ten degrees in temperature
below 80, and gave no evidence of in
jury. A fatal error is often made by
sowing the alfalfa seed too deep in the
drills wsYh grain three to four inches
deep; alfalfa will seldom reach the
surface under such conditions. The
usual method is to broadcast the see
Just ahead of the grain drill, either
with an attachmen. on the drill, or by
hand. In this way some of the seed is
covered by narrowing after the drill.
But much of it is so near the surface
that it will not survive. Therefore,
much seed is wasted The ideal meth
I'd would be to have drill that would
accurately regulate the amount of seed
and SOW uniformly by drills not much
over three fourths of an inch in depth.
We are sadly in need of drill especial
ly designed for sowing alfalfa seed. If
one has only a small area of two or
three acres to SOW, it might pay to
take the pains to SOW with common
garden drill, so as to insure uniform
depth of planting.
All the tests the writer has made III
the drilling of alfalfa IN rows, have
shown encouraging results in both hay
yield and in the production of seed,
as it allows better chances to cultivate
and regulate and control moisture. 1t
aleo economies seed for in drills eigh-
teen to twenty inches apart four to five
pounds of seed per acre will give
good stand Of alfalfa

Mr.. cARRoLL's FAREWELL

Rev. C. c. Carroll preached his fare
well sermon Sunday night at the Bap-
tist church to a packed house He
took his lesson from the third and
fourth verses Of the 21st chapter OF
Revelation. He was at his best and
showed that when a man became a
Christian. II helped him to bear the
ills Of flesh and the trials Of life.
He reiterated what he had said
about the coming pastor. Rev. Gabby.
who will occupy the pulpit on the
fourth Sunday Of this month. and that
he was model man and preacher.
cultured, educated. refined and a true
Christian gentleman. He desired the
members OF the church to give him
their love and confidence and he knew
II would not be betrayed
He told how much he loved the
members OF the Ocala church and his
pleasant relations with them and IL
he had said what some Of them deem
ed harsh things he spoke not in self,
but In the Masters cause and for
spiritual warning, that such conduct
as they displayed, outside the church
was inconsistent and not adjoining
Christian graces. He would not bid
them good-by. He did not want to
break down, but would only say fare
well and would ever cherish their
memory and pray for them without
ceasing that they would ever remain
faithful to their church vows.
Mrs. Mote sang q delightful solo.
which charmed all. 1t was evident
that there was general regret that
Mr.. Carroll was about to leave them.
The church never has had a better
preacher and the town Of Ocala a
more ideal citizen. Mr. Carroll had the
happy faculty Of being a good mixer
and no matter what were the differ
ences between himself and other citi-
Gems, he was ever ready to meet them
face to face and discuss such meas
ures in a man to man way that al.
ways won their respect. IL 1t did not
convince them. He believed in every
phase of good citizenship and was ev-
er ready to champion the cause. His
four years record in Ocala as preach
er and citizen will prove a lasting
blessing to the town and its people.
and the good will and best wishes Of
our people will follow him. prospect
