GROW alfalfa ON OK1 LAND
With UnIrrioated Crop Have
Carefully Prepared Soil.

(By J. f. PAYNE. Colorado Agricultural
College.)
have found several fields of al
falfa doing we'll on unirrigated land
in eastern Colorado. One man near
Hugo, Lincoln county, has 100 acres
which was sown on sandy land two
years ago. When seen In May. 1910,
1t was looking we'll. This was sown
upon freshly broken sod after the sod
was leveled with disk.
Several other smaller fields of al.
falfa were found on sandy land near
Hugo. Also some small fields we're
found growing on clay land in Lin
coin and other counties.
The men who had succeeded best
with unirrigated alfalfa have pre-
pared their land we'll and then seeded
1t when an abundant supply of moist
ure was present. Some have sown
with success as late as August /, upon
land which had been plowed early and
kept free from weeds until the time OF
seeding.
With perfect germin alton and per
feet soil conditions one pound Of al
falfa seed will produce enough plants
to cover an acre OF land. but man,
have recommended Is to 20 pound!
an acre. The amounts sown which
have given the best results on dr..
land have been from three to tel
pounds an acre. AS 1t is possible tina
from five to ten pounds of good see'
will give better results than large
quantities, because all extra alfalf
plants not needed are weeds whicl
weaken the plants that survive tn
competition.

ELDERLY LADY HURT
At RAILROAD STATION.
Struck by Moving Baggage
Truck-She Is Taken on Board
Train and Carried West.

An elderly lady, stranger in the
city. was seriously injured at the rail-
road station Monday morning, about
o o'clock, at which time No. 3 was
passing through here on it's way west
ward. Accompanied by her daugh-
ter the lady was travelling westward.
When the train stopped here they
stepped down from the train to walk
on the platform. The older, who was
probably IS years of age, stood with
her back to an approaching truck,
which, apparently she failed to hear
also and just as it was about to pass
her she stepped directly in front of it.
She was knocked down and run over.
The baggage man was moving the
truck at considerable speed as he was
hurrying to get to the north end of
the platform where the baggage was
being unlOaded. The vehicle, how
ever, was unloaded, though heavy
enough in itself to be of considerable
injury especially to an old person.
While it is possible that some blame
may attach to the baggage man,
though that is doubtful, either the
old lady or her daughter, by a little
care, could have everted the accident
The victim was carried aboard the
train and taken WESTWARD from North
Yakima and the extent of her Injuries
is unknown here.
