ALFALFA IN ROWS FOR SEED
of Molsture-Furrows May Be
Smoothed Out.
By ALVIN KEYsER. Colorado Agri-

tBy ALVIN KEYsER. Colorado Agri-
cultural Coliege)
Mr. +. X. Blinn, alfalfa specialist
of the Colorado experiment station.
with headquarters at Rocky Ford.
Colo, has called attention to the ne
cessity of planting alfalfa in rows for
the most succt al seed production.
SO much inquiry is being made at the
present time that 1t seems advisable
to again call attention to certain
points which should be observed in
growing alfalfa in rows fc- seed pro
duction.
The object Of putting alfalfa in rows
for seed production is TO secure
greater control of the moisture. I'm
der irrigation this greater control IL
obtained because by the row method,
the alfalfa can be irrigated by FIR.
rows. The burrows may be smoothed
out with the furrowing machine so
that the water may be run through
quickly. thus giving a light irrigation.
Cultivation of the rows assists In the
conservation of moisture. Thus by
control of the two factors, irrigation
and cultivation, the necessary amount
of moisture for the best crop devel-
opment is secured. Too much water
tends to produce vegetative growth
at the expense Of seed production.
Under irrigation, the rows should be
planted 20 inches apart, and every
other row furrowed out for irrigation.
| When. however, alfalfa is planted on
dry land for the production of seed,
the rows should be further apart and
the plants thinner in the row. In
order to permit the amount of water
commonly present to suffice for the
plants which are actually on the
ground. BY dry land methods, the
rows as a consequence should not be
placed closer than &c inches apart.
The plants should be drilled In the
row and may well be thinned to 20
inches apart in the row, leaving
good. strong plants when the thinning
is done.
Mr. Blinn reports that he saw al
falfa planted 40 inches apart between
rows, and 40 inches in the rows, al
flgnmore, n. D., when yielded seec
at the rate Of five bushels per acre
where the rainfall was only sever
inches for the entire season. From
our experience and the experience o
others on dry land 1t would seen
that &c to AZ inches is about the prop
, er distance to plant alfalfa in row
: for dry land seed production. The al
falfa should be given as thorough cul
iivation as Is given corn or potatoes
If this is done, a good average see,
5 yield can be produced for each sea
son. II thicker planting is made o.
the dry land, it does not leave SUI
a ficient supply of soil moisture TO ms
= ture a good seed crop. Success is onl
( guaranteed when the number Of plant
s is reduced TO the carrying capacity c

TO DESTROY SAN JOSE SCALE
Practical Orchardists Have Found Use
fitness of Several Washes
to Kill Pests.

Remedies for san Jose scale are now
confined largely to winter applications
Practical orchardists have found in
the various lime-sulphur washes. iudg-
ing from the amount used. a most sat
isfactory remedy for this pest. This
material may either be the home
boiled iime-sulphur wash. the prepare
ton of which has been repeatedly de-
scribed, the new lime-sulphur wash
known as the Cordley formula, n com
bination calling for approximately
twice as much sulphur as lime, or the
commercial lime-sulphur washes now
on the market under various trade
names. Any one. If well prepared and
thoroughly applied. the latter an es-
sential. can be relied on to keep the
pest in check.
Various so-called soluble" or mis-
chile oils have been widely used here
and there. and some prefer them to
the lime sulphur preparations. They
are undoubtedly very convenient and
particularly desirable for use in cities
and villages where there is danger Of
spotting paint II lime-sulphur wash
is employed.
Generally speaking. these latter
preparations are not as safe as the
lime-sulphur wash. and in a long Sc
ries of years hardly as effective.
Treatments with either should be
given while the leaves are off the tree
preferably shortly before the buds
swell in the spring.

Oil for Leather.

Leather furniture, especially when
placed near the register, is liable to
dry and crack. An excellent method
of keeping it from looking old and
showing cracks is to go over the leath-
er with a soft rag dipped in olive oil
and then going over the whole surface
again with dry rag.
II is not necessary to go over the
leather more than once in three or
four months, just enough to keep it
soft.

Market Hogs Much Lighter.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years is much lighter
than in former years; in the decade
1S7O-1S79 the average weight Of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was abo-t
275 pounds; in the decade 18S0-1SS9
about 257 pounds; in the decade 1890
1899 about 239 pounds, and in the
past decade 190O-1909 about PIG
pounds. In other words, hogs mar
keted between 80 and 40 years age
averaged one-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent wears.

FORD STEEL CAR
Model T Is One Of Highest
Grade Autos in Ex-
istence.

Buy a Ford because it is a better
car, not because it is cheaper" said
Henry Ford.
He made that remark, not through
egotism, but because he had toiled
nightly himself to make a machine
that would stand Upon its merits.
1.-THE auto 1 make must be a good
auto" he determined, and like men
of strong will and indomitable pur-
pose, he succeeded in his undertaking.
A $3.50 Ford model T runabout is
the third prize in the Evening STARS
Proverb Contest, purchased from the
Essex Auto Company Incorporated,
5s2-594 Broad street.
Henry Ford was the first to realize
the possibility of a car for all the peo-
pie. He believed that the automobile.
like the piano. might be made a com
modify, something every family might
own and enjoy. He began the task
eighteen years ago, not as a philan-
thropist, but as a business nan
He has achieved an enviable reputa-
ton as both. He has made it possible
for thousands to own and enjoy an
automobile, who without his genius
and labor could never have bought one.
The Ford Motor Company is engaged
solely in the manufacture of one good
car. All it's immense resources, every
man, every machine, every effort, every
thought, is concentrated upon he
famous Ford Model T.
In that model a car for the people
has become a reality.
Made of yanadium Steel.
The Ford is called the Vanadium
steel car, as All essential parts are
made of Vanadium steel. Special Ford
Vanadium steel Is the highest develop
ment in steel making. 1t is unusually
light, possesses tremendous strength
and is especially remarkable for its
ability to withstand the extreme shocks,
jolts and vibrations to which an auto
mobile is subjected, Vanadium steel
does not crystalline nor become brittle
from vibration. nor does it snap sud
denly when least expected. Vanadium,
as an alloy, supplies a toughness and
elasticity that is astonishing. For ex-

1t is around Jack Temples unique

Miss Mabel Brownell, the talented lead
ing woman of the Payton organization,
is cast for the role of Mrs. Temple.
Predictions are hat she will more than

character that calls for clever light
comedy acting. Edward Farrell, Harry

of the Payton favorites who will also
