the speaker.
At this point Mr.. Martin of Morton,
evidently under mistaken impress.
sion as to the purport Of the motion,
wanted to know If the mover of the
motion had been "seen' by the rail-
road lobby, but satisfactory explana-
ton was made at once.
Mr.. Sorlie declared that the motion
was out of order and the question
was closed. -,
1t was Just before the noon recess
that there was another incident, be-
ing an aftermath Of the Pendray and
Walters protest against Default that
had been the cause of trouble the day
previous.
Mr.. Default, gaining the floor,
stated that he had raised to point
Of personal privilege, and, continuing,
declared that on the day previous he
had stated that he was quite willing
to make an apology at any time the
house wished it for any Objectionable
remarks that he might have made in
an address at Jamestown, but that
inasmuch. as such apology had not
been requested up to the present time,
he would take 1t upon himself and
make such apology, which he did.
Then Mr.. Pendray also arose to q
question of personal privilege and off,
cred apologies fer statements that be

cause Of the friction that had arisen.
Outside of these several incidents
that served to enliven the session con.
siderably, the house put in an exceed.
ingly busy day completing the final
passage of house bills, all of which
were taken care OF.
Speaker Hanley announced during
the afternoon that he had appointed
Messrs. Homes, Nestos, OConnor Of
Grand Forks, Norheim and Hanson as
the members Of the board of man
ayers to prepare and file the articles
of impeachment against Judge John
F. Cowan.

a few moments that 1t would meet
with death.

ALFALFA
Abstract of Paper Delivered BY L. Waldron Before the
Tr-State Convention Fargo Thursday

Tremendous interest is now being
taken in the alfalfa crop. This inter.
est is due to various causes, among
them being the quality of the crop pro.
duced, the character Of the farming
which the introduction of the crop sig
ni6es, still others to the quality inn
pressed upon the soil by the alfalfa
plant.
Alfalfa is the Oldest known forage
plant, having been introduced into
Greece by the Persian in the fifth CEN
fury B. c. Forage crops, unlike human
food stuffs, were brought into cultiva-
ton from the wild state at compara-
tivelv late date. There have been three
introductions of alfalfa into this coun-
try, which have left their permanent
mark One of these was into California
from Chill, in the fifties, another into
the Atlantic states from Europe in the
eighteenth century, and the third into
Minnesota from Germany in the late fif-
ties. g.
The introduction of alfalfa from Chill
into California has extended until there
are millions of acres devoted to the
crop, The introduction of Gromm al
falfa into Minnesota, only three years
later, is just beginning to bear fruit
There are probably less than 2,OoO acres
of Grimm alfalfa under cultivation: II
is manifest that it is the Grimm alfalfa
that will be the alfalfa for the middle
northwest and for several other OF Il
northern states. -.
Alfalfa has been cultivated in a linn
tied wav in North Dakota for twenty
wears. Due to the abundance OF the
open range, the necessity OF tame 100
der plants has not been felt, until with
in the last few years. The eastern sec
tions of the state that are losing out III
grain production, are now looking ou'
for forage plants.
The alfalfa plant is deep-rooted per,
ennial, having tap root with lateral
feeders. From the crown at the surface
of the ground there arise many stems
often more than 100. When one growth
is ready for the sickle, it is ready tc
send up a renewed growth, and so one
crop follows another so long as moisture
and temperature conditions are favor,
able, Its wonderful root development
makes the plant of great Importance III
North Dakota, for III this we see Won
derful ability to resist drouth if the
plants are so grown that they are able to
attain full development.
The plant should appeal to North Da-
kota farmers because of its composition
The alfalfa plant is full of the lean meat
principles. In other words. it contains
an abundance of protein, or flesh form
ing element of food. Alfalfa hay con-
tains from - to 2 - times as mitch
protein as prairie hay. =,
Comparing alfalfa with prairie hay
and wheat bran, we find that the protein
in 100 pounds of prairie hay is worth
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-01-20

in 1910 five plants per square yard gave
us the maximum hay yield over all other
rates of planting This yield amounted
to nearly , - tons per acre.
Thus it is evident that we have much
to learn of what constitutes proper
alfalfa stand for North Dakota. In the
thinner stands the roots are much better
developed and are able to draw upon
larger supplies of moisture. This being
the case, more alfalfa growth is pro-
duccd
The cultivation of alfalfa in North Da-
kota will be advisable to certain ex-
tent Perhaps the discing of the field
in the spring will be sufficient, but in
the drier soils the fields will need to be
disced after each cutting. In place OF
the disc, the alfalfa renovator may be
preferable.
Alfalfa growing in North Dakota will
be successful. Care must be taken to
inoculate the soil and the stand must be
thin enough to produce good yields of
hay. Under proper management the av-
erage yield of alfalfa hay in North Da-
kota should amount to tons per acre
per year.

STUTSMAN CO.
PIONEER DEAD

Jamestown, n. d., Jan. l9.-.After a
sickness of about week, Charles A.
Sanford, one of the pioneer residents
of northern Stutsman county, who has
long made his home at Courtenay,
died from an affection of the heart.
Death occurred at - o'clock. Friends
of Mr.. Sanford did not realize his
serious condition and while it was
known that his health has not been the
best during the last few months, the
news Of his demise will prove pain
full surprise to his many friends and
acuuaintances throughout the county
and state. An adopted daughter, Mrs.
John Bradford of Miles City, was
present during Mr.. Sanford's last sick
ness. The funeral arrangements will
be announced later.
Mr.. Sanford was one Of the best
known men in this part of the state.
He came to Stutslnan county about
1883 and took land near what is now
the town of Courtenay. He has been
a resident of the county since his
arrival here and has done much by pen
and word to foster the interests of his
county and state. Old age and declin-
ing health had made him less active
in recent years and he felt greatly the
death of his wife, which occurred
about two years ago.
Mr.. Sanford was a member of the
North Dakota legislature of 1899 and
1900. He was chairman of the house
committee on education. He was a
graduate of Ann Arbor university and
before coming to North Dakota was
a professor i'll all eastern college. He
