Alfalfa; Greatest Crop of the
West.

need not discourse on the mer-
its of alfalfa. Wherever it will
thrive, it makes more tons OF better
forage than any other plant known,
and in addition grows from a few
to perhaps one hundred years from
one sowing. have seen it in the
Toyah valley 10 years old, and 1t
looks good for 100 years. No other
hay at all comes 50 near approach
ing grain in its composition and di-
gestibility. No other grazing plant
will carry livestock in such numbers
and nourish them so well. ] have
seen il carry 10 head of cattle and
horses to the acre in this section
this spring.
Last winter, n9 to accordlthe tes-
timony of one of the leading grow
ers in Toyah valley, each acre fur
nished grazing enough 10 save $50
worth of feed. II commands regu-
larly rental value for grazing dur
ing the winter months of $l5 to $2o
an acre. Stockmen during this
spring and summer paid as high as
$l2 an acre month for grazing,
suppose in but few places in the
world would this plant stand the
grazing winter and summer as 1t
does here. In few places surely VIII

lands of the arid west, where oil the
fertility the land ever had remains,
while that of the well-watered lands
has been teaching away through oil
the ages,
Alfalfa Is a veritable weed here
under irrigation. IL viii not grow
successfully without irrigation. Let
me say that only a little OF op'
great state has 80 far grown alfalf'
successfully. Millions of dollars
have been lost In seed and labor u
the efforts to grow It on the ordln
airy sands, clays and loans OF tn
country. II requires good SOIL
rich In lime. In the dry west al
soils are rich In lime and other IN
gradients. In the east and espe
clally In the southeast, only IN
limestone formations and the RED o
black buckshot lands support TN

In our black lands, exceedingl
rich IN lime, cotton root rot an

perhaps grow it better than any hui
mid lands we have. However, it
will probably b. found that alfalfa
will be shortlived in all humid coun-
tries subject to excessive rainfall
and long drought. Neither will it
stand pasturage in humid regions
like it will here in the west.
The common objection urged
against this crop in the east is the
loss in curing. This objection
could be partially met at least by
judicious grazing at seasons when
crops are apt to be lost. For the
average grades of land in East and
South Texas, failure with alfalfa
has been well nigh complete.
Whether one can afford to use the
amount Of lime and other fertilizers
necessary for success, ! do not
know.
For this section alfalfa is the
great staple. II will easily yield
five to seven tons per acre of a hay
so fine, bright and leafy as to out
sell eastern or Colorado grown al
falfa two or three dollars on the
markets. | should say sl4 a ton
would be fair price for this hay
loaded on cars. With Sl a ton cost
for watering, cutting, bailing and
hauling, we have a net profit of 500
to $50 an acre on the hay crop.
With a winter grazing value of $40
in addition from the acre, it gives
the land net rental value of about
SIS.
As the crop is perpetual, good al
falfa lands, growing crops and good
water rights should make an acre
of alfalfa land worth $50 on an
income producing basis. Hence, II
is that alfalfa lands frequently sell
for several hundred dollars per acre,
Let no one suppose big crops of al
falfa do not require large amounts
of water. Some are proposing tc
furnish IL inches of water Il. e..
water enough in season to cover
the land IL inches deep.) That II
not enough to give more than on'
or two cuttings. am convinced a
least 30 inches ought to be given t
get maximum yields for the whole
season, and this in addition to tn
l3 to Ii inches of rain.
Many people think the alfalf'
market will be overstocked. ] d.
not believe 80. While wheat bral
sells for $25 alfalfa hay should b
worth $40 at least. People ar
finding out its feeding value, ant
prices have been advancing instea'
of declining. There is a tremend
Gus territory lying just east of tn
Pecos valley that is growing into
fine cotton codntry but will neve
grow much If any alfalfa. Gu
, prices for this hay will probably a
WAYS be twice the prices obtained b
Colorado and Utah growers, an
vet their alfalfa lands are wort
y
5000 to $500 an acre.
Another reason the market wi
not be overstocked is the scarcity
water. Nearly all irrigated coul
tries have many times as much goc
land as they can find water to w
it with. This is no exception her

DEAR Mr.. Holt:
hope the enclosed photos will
serve to recall a pleasant afternoon
in June when you and some other
gentlemen of Deming showed me
the irrigation possibilities Of your
section of country. After leaving
you went TO Phoenix, Riverside,
Yuma, Imperial Valley, Los Angeles
and San Francisco. Coming down
the San Joaquin valley examined
the Modesto and Turlock canal sys.
TENS with some care and spent some
time at Fresno. Returning to Los
Angeles, | came east by the Santa
Fe, stopping at the Grand Canyon,
Albuquerque, Mesilla Park and FL
Paso.
After seeing n great deal of the
irrigated country of the Southwest,
| must say that | was more than
favorably impressed with the posi-.
bilities around Deming. | hope
that you will live up to your posi-
bilities so that when | come again
there will be ten irrigated farms
where there is one now.
Please give my kindest regards tc
Messrs. Ely. Bedichek and Laugh
ren.
Very truly yours,

BRAZILIAN REVOLT
COSTS 400 LIVES
200 Citizens Are Killed While
Watching Bombardment;
Mutiny Is Subdued

RIO JANEIRO. Dec 11.-Government
troops are again in control of the gar
rison on Cobra island, and the second
mutiny of the naval forces has ended
with heavy casualty list
The mutineers, who composed a bat
talon of the marine corps, numbered
about 500 men. OF these 200 were
taken prisoners by the destroyers
while attempting to escape from the
island in the night.
Two hundred citizens were either
killed or wounded while watching the
bombardment. Many government build
ings were damaged, including the
treasury, the foreign office and the de-
partments of public works and tele-
graphs.
Two land batteries. two warships
and several destroyers took part in
the bombardment, and twice in the en-
gagement an armistice was allowed for
the removal of the dead and wounded
FIRING ceased entirely late in the even
ing. but no actual surrender OF the
rebels occurred.
Toward midnight several boats put
out from the island and men could be
seen swimming toward the mainland.
The destroyers on watch made them
all prisoners.
Martial law has been declared for
so days in the federal district and
Nictheroy.
The chamber of deputies met today
to discuss a special session. A strict
censorship is being maintained, but
conditions are entirely normal The
scout ship Rio Grande do Sui fired the
first shot in the revolt, turning its guns
on the city. The heavy bombardment
by both land batteries and warships
caused a panic in Rio Janeiro early
yesterday, and frightened AMI wounded
people fed in all directions.
According to the newspapers, the
causes 1eadingsto the second revolt are
trivial, most of the demands made by
the men in the last mutiny having
been granted By the government.
