CLOVER AND ALFALFA SEED
Promises Well in Several Sections
Where It Has Been Tried In
Northwest

The growing of clover and alfalfa
seed in the northwest promises well
and in several sections where II has
been tried the yields of seed have
been good and the quality of the very
best, says Dakota Farmer In many
of the eastern states where clover is
grown extensively for hay and as
fertilizing crop, it seeds very sparing
ly and seed is shipped in each spring
from other sections Where clover
seeds well 1t is a highly profitable
crop as the price is nearly always
high. The seeding season in the Da-
kotas is usually conductive to good
filling and it is believed by many
that in time large amount of seed
will be produced within our borders
for sale in eastern states. Practically
all alfalfa seed is produced in semi.
arid sections either with or without
irrigation,
Many are coming to think that al.
falfa seed grown without irrigation is
superior for seed especially where 1t
is to be sown under natural conditions.
The nearer home that seed is grown
the better it usually is. Plants be-
come acclimated to certain sections
as does stock and any great change
of environment results in decreased
vigor and yields.
Approaching as we do the immense
value of the legumes to any system
of permanent agriculture, every eff
fort to grow them as forage and for
seed as well should be made.

ALFALFA GROWN ON DRY LAND
Many Advantages in Growing This
Crop on Soils Particularly Adapt
ed to Its Culture.

The growing of alfalfa on arid land
least 20 years but some kinds of soil
are not so well adapted to this great
forage plant as others. AS rule a
sandy loan is the best but it will also
thrive well on our bench land and
foothills where there is clay sub
soil AS a rule alfalfa will not do
well on heavy, gumbo-clay soil without
irrigation. In growing alfalfa one
planting is good for a period of ten
years. In ordinary seasons and on
common land two tons of hay can be
cut from an acre. All farmers know
how much it costs to put up hay. The
second crop will bring from three to
five bushels of seed to the acre which
sells as a rule for 81 or SIS bushel.
Then there is the chaff from which
the seed is threshed which is also
worth something. The expenses of
harvesting and threshing the alfalfa
seed crop are hardly one-half that of
a wheat crop. In growing wheat the
land has to be plowed, narrowed and
planted for every crop end to be sue
cessful the land should be cropped
only every other year Thirty to 35
bushels an acre is very good yield
for summer fallowed dry land. The
price of wheat averages about rs
cents a bushel for a period of FIVE
years. 1t will be seen from these
figures that the growing of alfalfa
is the most desirable crop for dry land
where ii can be grown successfully.

With the presidential approval Of

with the desire of Mr. Taft to see his

officers sparkle little more in the

that the tea will become within the

Dry farming is scientific cultivation
of the soil III the fullest sense OF the
words. 1t requires brainy men, who
will study and who will work their
land diligently. The man who goes
west to take up this class of agricul-
ture does not need to be rich, but he
must have some capital, He should
have from $500 to $4,000 in order
that he may buy machinery, some live
stock, build for himself a home and
have sufficient capital with which to
support his family until his first crop
is harvested and marketed. In some
localities, where biennial cropping is
necessary because of the slight rain
fall. this means that he must have
enough to live on for at least IS
months. The failures of the west are
due in almost every case either to
lack of capital or laziness. The dill
gent man with a fair amount of CAPT.
tai should not fail
