ALFALFA IN ROWS
FC-C, SEED PRODUCTION

Mr.. P. X. Blinn, alfalfa special
list of the Colorado Experiment
Station with headquarters at
Rocky Ford, Colorado, has called
attention to the necessity of plant
ing alfalfa in rows for the most
successful seed production. So
much inquiry is being made at the
present time that it seems advis-
able to again call attention to
certain points which should be OBJ
served in growing alfalfa in rows
for seed production.
The object of putting alfalfa in
ows for seed production is to
secure greater control Of the
moisture. Under irrigation this
greater control is obtained be
cause by the row method the al
falfa can be irrigated by fur
rows. The furrows may be
smoothed out with the furrowing
machine so that the water may
be run through quickly, thus Civ
ing a light irrigation. Cultivation
of the rows assists in the conser-
walton of moisture. Thus by con
troi of the two factors irrigation
and cultivation, the necessary
amount of moisture for the best
crop development is secured. Too
much water tends to produce
vegetative growth at the expense
of seed production. Under irri-
CATION, the rows should be plant
ed 20 inches apart, and every
other row furrowed out for irri-
cation. 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 cons .qucnce should
not be placed closer than 36 in
ches 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
alfalfa planted 40 inches apart
between the rows, and 40 inches
IN the rows, at Highmore, North
Dakota, which yielded seed at the
rate of five bushels per acre,
where the rainfall was only seven
inches for the entire season. From
our experience and the experience
ns others on dry land, it would
seem that Sc to AZ inches is about
the proper distance to plant al
falfa in rows for dry land seed
production. The alfalfa should
be given as thorough cultivation
as is given corn or potatoes. If
this is done, a good average seed
yield can be produced for each
season. If thicker planting is
made on the dry land, it does not
leave a sufficient supply of soil
moisture to mature good seed
crop. Success is only guaranteed
when the number of plants is re-
duced to the carrying capacity of
the soil.

Care of the Mare and Foal.

The ideal condition for the
mother, preceding the birth of
a foal, is to have access to a
pasture where she may be watched
daily during the latter part of
gestration. 1t is true that a mare
may be worked up to the time of
foaling, and there are instances
of the colt being born while the
mother is still in harness, but
this is far from being a good prac
tice. Severe exertion is a fire.
quent cause of abortion and at the
best the young colt can not re-
ceive the proper amount of nutri-
ton to make him grow if the
mare is obliged to do hard labor.
a pasture gives the mother op-
portunity to take plenty of exer-
else, and if green grass is pres
ent, her bowels should be in good
condition, which is highly impOr-
tant.
If possible, she should have
a paddock or pasture by herself.
Mules are especially annoying and
frequently kill young colts. Other
mares and even gcldings may
claim the colt and cause trouble.
On the open range nature pro-
vides for this, all animals seek
ing seclusion during parturition.
Then, the green grass pasture
is probably the cleanest place
about the farm.
In case of storm, or where it is
impossible to provide a paddock
or pasture, a large box stall may
be used. There should be plenty
o. clean straw, which may be
sprayed with a weak solution of
carbolic acid, say, a teaspoonful
to a pail of water.
The colt should come fore feet
first and right side up. If in
any other position, there is some
thing wrong, and the mother
should be carefully watched so
that help may b" secured quickly
if it is needed.
If the colt is born in the pas
ture and there is no reason to
believe that the umbilical cord
should become infected, then the
cord should not be interfered
with; but # other colts on the
same farm have developed umbili-
cal infection, or the colt is born
in the stable or corral, then the
cord should be ligated close to
the body and the stump washed
wit one per cent. solution of
carbolic acid. 1t usually pays to
call veterinarian to take charge
of such cases.
Ordinarily it is not best to
bother the mother with your help
or advice, but in extremely in
clement weather the little fellow
may be helped up and dried with
a clean towel; better not at all
than to use a dirty sack. Later,
if it has trouble in finding his
dinner, you may offer some assist
ance
The colt s bowels should move
within the first twelve to twenty
four hours. Constipation is a
very common trouble and may
usually be relieved by an enema
o. warm water.
The mare s udder should be
MIXED out for the sirst few days,
if the colt does not take all the
milk. Unless this is attended to
inflammation of the udder may de,
velop and check the secretion of
milk, so that the colt will not re-
ceive as much as he should when
he gains his strength.
Young mares sometimes refuse
to allow the colt to nurse be-
cause of chapped teats, sensitive
udder, or nervousness.
Do not try to drench colt. If
it is desired to feed the little
fellow, provide him with bottle
and nipple; there is great danger
of causing mechanical pneumonia
il pouring fluids into the mouth
is attempted.

CUTWoRMs

=
in Colorado in the spring. Their
ravages are most noticeable in
gardens and wheat, although they
often attack beets, and, in fact,
any green vegetation. They re-
ceive their name from the habit
they have of cutting off plants
Just below the surface of the
ground.
Gu worms are rather plump
and sluggish and have the habit
of curling up when touched or ex-
posed to the light of day. The
color is dull green, or greenish
brown with two broad, irregular
stripes of somewhat lighter color
extending down the back. They
are night feeders altogether, and
the farmers crop slowly dis
appears while he sleeps. During
the day they hide in the ground
or under some protecting shelte",
such as board, clod of earth or
COW dropping. Here they may
often be found, and if they are
very numerous in the field, search
in these places will almost surely
reveal their presence.
The worms in early spring,
are about half grown. They
hatched the previous fall from
eggs which were laid on vege-
tation during September and Oc-
tober. While young they at
tracted little attention. They
hid during the day; food was
abundant, and they ate com
paratively little during the early
stages. During winter they lay
buried in the earth.
When the warm spring days ar
rive, they come to the sur
fac" of the ground and eat raw
enously. Just at this time the
farmer plows under the abundant
vegetation, which was their food
supply, and plants in its stead
l scanty crop. Injury to the
young seeding crop is all the
more disastrous because the des-
truction of each tender plant
means a serious loss later in the
season.
The damage continues until
about the latter part of May,
when the worms are full fed, and
retire abou- two inches below
the surface of the ground to
transform in earthen cells to
brown pupae. In about a month
the moths appear, and when nu-
merous, cause considerable annoy
anc by flying into the houses
and darting about the lamps.
These moths measure about two
inches from wing tip to tip. The
ground color of the upper wings
is blackish brown, with lighter
markings. The under wings are
lighter in color with darker edges
A second brood of worms oc-
ours in late summer, but the
damage done at that time is not
often of serious proportions.
Under field conditions, preven-
tion is the best remedy. Where
the ground is plowed in August
or September, and kept free
from growing vegetation, the
res: of the season there will be
no damage done from cutworms
except possibly on the margins
of the fields. In the Canadian
wheat fields arsenic bran mash
has been used with success.
This is most effective when ap-
piled before the sprouting grain
appears above the surface.
The formula is as follows:
Paris green. ........E z pound
Bran ..............50 so pounds
syrup quart
Water ..............2 2 gallons.
Mix the Paris green and bran
till the color is even, then stir
in the syrup and water, making
crumbly, but not sloppy mass.
Scatter this mixture thinly over
the fields during the afternoon
and early evening. In wheat,
from thirty to fifty pounds per
acre may be used, but in more
valuable crops it will paw to use

CROWDS AT BEACHES.

Large crowds visited the beaches
of Staten Island Sunday, although
not in as great numbers as on preyi-
Gus Sundays. This fact was due to
the gloomy morning and the appear
ance of rain. At South Beach the
crowds were largest, although Mid
land Beach was by no means neglect
ed.
At the former beach bathing was
the principal diversion, and the bath
ing establishments were all well
]patronized. Unlike the last two
| Sundays, Staten Island turned out
in force for early morning bathing,
and departed before the crowds from
tended all day.
Manhattan and elsewhere began to
arrive by train and trolley. Happy
land Park, with It's many attractions,
was the rendezvous for those who
did not go in bathing. Over at Mid
land Beach the surf bathing as usua
brought thousands, and the band
concerts on the beach by Schmidt's
| Gold and White Band were well at
The camping colonies, between
South and Midland beaches had
hundreds of visitors during the day
There are more campers this veal
than ever before.
