prize alfalfa plant of the season. about
seven feet tall and as big as a stack
of hay. grown without irrigation. Last
night Secretary Welch shipped it 10

about four feet wide, six inches deep
and ten feet long This was lined
with burlap on which the plant was
carefully tackled in place and nice
cover made for the box. The cover
