ALFALFA SEED BY IRRIGATION
Excellent Variety Now Grown In Ev-
cry Irrigated state-Water APP
piled SparlnoIy.

The large area which is seeded to
alfalfa each year creates a demand
for alfalfa seed. Good seed Is grown
now in every irrigated state In the
west and the contention that II cannot
be produced successfully under irri-
CATION is unfounded. The use Of too
much water is doubtless the cause of
many failures. Any one Of the crops
may be saved for seed. but It requires
about twice as long to produce a seed
crop as 1t does a hay crop. owing to
the extra length Of time required for
the seed to ripen and the different
crops do not yield equally well. The
more general custom is to save the
second crop for seed and where this
Is done It is recommended that the
first crop be irrigated rs usual for
hay and that water should be applied
very sparingly. II at all. to the seed
crop. Where the same amount Of wa
ter is used as for hay the growth is
rank and rapid and hay rather than
seed is produced.

For years and years the prospectors in Sonora,

lost Mines" In certain old records Of the early
missions mention is made of two certain lost
mines The names under which they are record

basis for exploration.
When the San Pedro mine. located south OF
Nacozari, was discovered some years ago. with
Its old underground workings. It is firmly be-
lieved that one of the two lost mines had been
discovered. Now 1t seems probable that the sec
ond also has been located and in the belt ndi-
Gated in the ancient documents. Even II the
second Of the famous lost mines has not been
discovered antigua mine Of great age has been
found. with proofs enough to indicate that 1t has
not been worked for many years.
The discovery made by John Guilfoyle, a
well-mown pioneer mining prospector of Naco-
zari. When out west Of Nacozari about ten miles
he came across a piece Of detached ore which
he picked up and examined. He spent many days
looking the neighboring lodges in the hope
Of coming across the mother lode. But his search
was in vain. Meantime he brought in the spec

ings he suddenly struck q spot where the steel
sank several feet
Guilfoyie knew that the rock formation could
not have ended abruptly and he began to ex-
cavate. He uncovered a long cut in the solid
rock of the creek bed which held down stream
and which could not have been cut there when

EFFECT OF SILT ON ALFALFA
injuries Resulting From Hard Crust
Formed Over the Surface Of
Irrigated Fields.

The silt-laden waters of the rivers
Of the southwest during periods OF
high water in time form crust over
the surface of irrigated alfalfa fields.
The soil formed by such rivers is
naturally impervious. and when a
coating of fine sediment is deposited
around the plants the effect is injuri-
Gus. particularly to young plants,
which may be killed as a result. not
withstanding the fertilizing value OF
the silt. In irrigating with water car
rying much silt the larger and heavier
particles are deposited in the chan
nels which convey the water from the
streams, while the finer and lighter
particles are carried to the fields.
These fine particles cement together
and form so hard a crust when dry as
to exclude both air and moisture from
the soil.
Engineers may in time devise a
practical remedy for this evil by build
ing settling basins and storage reser-
voirs. but at present the tendency OF
many officers Of canal companies is to
increase the grade of the channels SC
as to carry the greater part Of the
silt to the fields. This does not solve
the problem: 1t merely shifts the bur-
den to the water users. To such, disk
ing the surface at the proper time has
proved the most efficient remedy. An
effort is made to secure well water
or clear ditch water while the alfalfa
is young and later to counterfeit the
bad effects of muddy water by the
free use of the disk.
Disking alfalfa is quite generally
practised now throughout the west. 1t
is generally done in the spring as
soon as the ground is hard and firm
and before the growth has started.
When a field is disked a second time
In the same season 1t is done when
the stubble is short. Just after the re-
moval of the crop. The disks should
be set nearly straight, SO as to stir
but not overturn the soil. The spring
tooth harrow is used also. but its
tendency is to tear up the ground too
much. Perhaps the best implement
for this purpose is the spike disk har-
row or alfalfa renovator. as It is some
times called. in which spiked wheels
are substituted for the ordinary con-
cave disks.
Disking not only breaks up the i'm
pervious layers formed by muddy wa
ter. but 1t splits the old root crowns.
thickens the stand. destroys weeds.
checks evaporation. and mixes the
dead leaves Of previous crops with the
top layer OF soil.

into the district from a considerable distance.
there is fiint of this hardness near the mine
After pursuing his work for several days. the drift
in the rock led into the ledge. but the old
workings were found to be closed UP solid with
silt
Guilfoyle pursued his Investigation and found
under the soil on the creek upland the remains
Of old Stag dump AS is customary with the
prospectors in Sonora. Gufoyle at once had this
Stag assayed. On account Of the primitive meth
DDS of smelling employed by the ancient work
men the Stag found on these old dumps Is usually
rich enough to be worked over again in the mod
ern smeiters. which leave nothing of value in the
Stag. but. strange to note. in this case the Stag
found to be absolutely worthless. indicating
that at this mine the pulverizing of the ore had
assisted in the extraction of the metal values
The antique smelters also knew a lot about the
use of certain chemicals In the extraction of
metal from the ore and at this mine probably one
of those processes was used in connection with
the furnace. only fragments Of the foundation of

cupation Of the Spanish Adventures 1t IL well
known that there is a long gap between the SIX
!, teenth and eighteenth centuries where the history
Of Old Mexico and that district now including Ar
and New Mexico is missing probably be-
cause the missionaries finding that the crown of
Spain robbed every mine reported ceased to
make report of them. In 1920 the Indians killed
all the mine workers In Sonora and Arizona and
many mines abandoned at that time have been
lost to the world. Sonora has many mines which,
on opening. found to be antiguas and many of
them are very rich.
