GROW ALFALFA ON DRY LAND
Excellent Plan to Select Strain That

Seed Carefully.

In adapting alfalfa to dry farming
very good plan is to select a strain
that grows q coarse. strong stalk. use
the same strain of seed year after year
and thus adapt the plant to local con-
ditions. We would prefer to pay .
dollar pound for seed grown several
years under such conditions than to
use seed at market prices that has not
been acclimated. The alfalfa seed
raj department foisted on us several
years ago is not suited to high table
lands and does better In fields under
irrigation which is just contrary to tho
dope that was handed out to us by
the alleged scientists, gays the Den
yer Field and Farm. We should say
that sufficient quantity to SOW on
dry land is to drill In eight pounds OF
seed the acre. using any of the up
to-date styles of corn planters tta:

ing drilled the seed with a two-row
corn planter, the drills are just right
to be cultivated with a common two
row riding plow. The shovels should
be run to depth of three inches and
thus compel the alfalfa roots to keep
