ARID SOIL HOME OF ALFALFA
Much Water, However, 10 Required for
the Successful Growing Of
the Crop.

A valuable bulletin on the irrigation
Of alfalfa has just been issued by the
department of agriculture. The ma
terial used in this report Is based upon
the best irrigation practiced in the
arid regions and is intended for use
Of settlers under the large canal sys-
TENS now under construction.
Experience In the growing Of alfalfa
for more than 1000 years shows that
1t thrives best in the soil and eli.
mate of arid and semi-a.id regions.
The abundant sunshine, the warmth
and the deep rich soil prevailing
throughout the western half of the
United States seem to be we'll suited
to its requirements.
Alfalfa requires more water than
most crops. This is accounted for by
the character of the plant, the rapidity
with which 1t grows, the number OF
crops produced In one season and the
heavy tonnage obtained. If the
crop Is intelligently handled, the re-
port states, 1t cannot be excelled in
value, and a single ton may save the
lives of many head OF stock by pro
viding feed during the short periods Of
cold, stormy weather.

Working along the same lines as
Luther Burbank, Prof. B. c. Buffum
of Worland, Wyo, has produced new
wheat which he asserts will supplant
the wheat now raised for stock feed
ing.
The new wheat Is produced by q
system of interbreeding winter wheat
and winter emmer and Is the result OF
II years experimenting with the va
rious commercial grains. The new
wheat has not been given a name and
the seeds have been carefully guarded
The new wheat was obtained from
what the farmer scientist calls an "em
mer sport" sport being a plant OF
animal that changes it's character as
result of unusual conditions. This
sport was obtained by extraordinary
attention to the soil moisture and ele
ments which contributed to its growth

MORE PROFITS IN IRRIGATION
Exercise More Care and Skill
In Growing.

Notwithstanding its present i'm.
portance and great value in irrigation
farming, the profits on the area now
In alfalfa can be greatly increased II
more care and skill are exercised in
growing 1t. The western irrigator has
seldom been able, financially, to dig
his bitches and prepare his. fields In
such a way as to insure the most eff
cient irrigation and the highest profits.
In consequence, valuable water Is
wastefully applied to land that is in
no fit condition to be irrigated. On
the large acreage in irrigated alfalfa
this amounts to an enormous loss.
This fact, considered In connection
with the Importance of this crop, the
rapidly increasing area devoted to its
growth, and the large number of farm.
ers who are settling in the west and
who will be for years dependent In a
large measure on alfalfa for liveli-
hood, would seem to warrant the col
lection and publication Of any infOrma-
tioA designed to improve the present
practice.
In the examination of alfalfa fields
and the collection of the data neces-
sary for this publication, advantage
was taken of the organization of the
irrigation investigations of this office,
which is we'll adapted for such a
purpose. Through the state and terri.
torial agencies of that division and
through cooperation with the men,
bers of state experiment stations and
the state engineers it was possible to
obtain with high degree of accuracy
the conditions and irrigation practice
with reference to this crop throughout
the entire arid region.

IRRIGATION Methods.

Comparative tests of the furrow and
flooding methods Of irrigation at the
Texas experiment station resulted in
estimated gains in yield per acre by
the flooding method of 1920 to 1000
yields secured from irrigation, as COM
pared with dry culture, INDICATE that
irrigation is profitable even in sea-
sons when the rainfall is sufficient to
produce a good crop.

There is no more important feature
about a dairy barn than the ventila'
ting system. The cleanliness OF the
milk. the health Of the cows, and the
success of the whole business depends
on the proper ventilation. Ventilation
of poultry coops has been practically
solved by the use OF cloth windows
but the dairy barn is another matter
one which requires study and more or
less cost In construction.
In the accompanying illustration Is
seen the King system Of ventilation
which is acknowledged by experts to
be one of the best systems in opera
ton to-day
The inlets must be so arranged that
the warm air will not pass out In
stead of the cold fresh air coming in.
1t is for this reason that the inlet f1ue
should begin near the ground on the
outside and end near the ceiling In
side. All that Is necessary is to have
the outer end Of the flue several feet

lower than the inner end. There
should be number Of inlets OF small
size. in order that the fresh air may
be evenly distributed throughout the
stable. Whenever possible the inlets
should be inside the stable.
A convenient size for an inlet is
4x12 inches. This permits the flue to
be built between 2x4 studs. From
eight to ten inlets should furnish
enough air for 20 COWS. The flues
should be lined with building paper
and this covered with matched lum-
Der. In putting the flues in an old
barn the paper may be tackled against
the outside wall. then the studding.
and the matched lumber nailed to the
studding. The outside opening of the
f1ues should be covered with woven
wire
In some instances the f1ues are
made of sheet iron which is tackled to

Soil Restoration.

Lands on the Delaware peninsula
that have been farmed for two and a
lalf centuries are producing larger
crop yields to-day than at any former
time since they were first turned by
the pillow. Virginia farms that were
old when George Washington was
born are producing bountiful crops
when skilfully and intensively cult
waited. Commercial fertilizers are only
in small part responsible for these in
creased yields. Growing leguminous
crops. green manuring, deep blowing
and better understanding of soil con-
ditions and requirements, are the
prime factors In soil improvement.

There is great deal of real value
In good fence. 1t not only protects
