Good Thing for keokuk.

II the Stone & Webster and
Cooper interests acquire the prop
erty it will mean another inn
portant opportunity for Keokuk.
II will mean an opportunity to
get a sufficient and efficient service.
1t is no secret that this community
has been extremely patient with the
present owners of the electric. street
and gas companies for the reason that
ulder conditions as they have existed
for the past several years the public
did not feel like compelling the in
yestment of considerable capital that
within a few years would, in view OF
the building of the water power. be
practically worthless. For that rea-
son Keokuk has been commercially
lenient. With the building of the wa
ter power it is imperative that a new
condition be reached and that new
condition is possible should the Stone
& Webster and Cooper interests buy
the utilities, for that is their particular
line and they would increase the ser
vice and at the same time improve
the plants in all Of their varied feat
ures. Such a condition is heartily
hoped for and this community vii
welcome the anticipated change.

For two or three years Keokuk will
be dependent for power upon the
present electric company, or it's as
signs. When the power is available
from the dam, conditions will change,
but it is essential that some relief
be obtained before that time and
such relief can be secured through the
ownership and operation of the public
utilities under the Stone & Webster
and Cooper interests.
1t was officially ascertained today
that the whole question is in tenta-

on the part of Stone & Webster and

tanned that if any change takes place

BUYING ALFALFA SEED.

Farmers should take more than
ordinary precautions in purchas-
ing alfalfa seed to ascertain what
they are getting. Alfalfa seed is
subject to adulteration with
cheaper seeds closely resembling
1t, and the great danger lies in
the fact that with the adulterants
some noxious weeds may be intro
duced, which will cause endless
trouble and work in the future.
1t Is almost impossible for the
average individual to tell the diff
ferences between alfalfa, yellow
trefoil, and sweet and red clover
seeds. Alfalfa is frequently ad
liberated with these seeds by un-
scrupulous dealers, who, owing to
the great demand for the seed,
cannot resist the temptation.
Good alfalfa seeds are of an OBJ
scure greenish or reddish yellow
color, while the defective or i'm
mature seeds are usually brown
and generally shriveled. The
shape varies, but the majority of
the seeds are kidney shaped.
Every farmer should know
something about the history of the
seed which he contemplates buy
ing. In Colorado and in the north
western states Grimm alfalfa has
given the best results. 1t is an eX
cellent idea to test the seed for
seed is low in vitality and has as
high as Is to % per cent. of weed
seed. Such seed is usually offered
at 10 to Is per cent. below mar
ket quotations and is likely to be
more expensive than the higher
priced, pure seed.
1t is simple matter to make
termination test. Count out so
or 100 seeds of the kind to be test
cd and place them in plate be
tween two pieces of moistened
flannel cloth. On a slip of paper
record the variety, the number of
seeds, and the date. Place the
slip on the edge of the plate. Gov
er the whole with an other plate
which is inverted. Keep the plate
at room temperature for several
days. Examine the seeds daily,
and if the cloths become dry.
sprinkle a little water on them.
At the end of several days count
the sprouted seeds, and from them
determine what percentage of the
whole number of seeds is good.
If there are any seeds which can
not be recognized, they should be
sent to the Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Fort Collins, Colo,
for Identification.

GRIMM'S ALFALFA.

Inc lolloWlnS lettef is DelHS
sent out by the Colorado Expert
ment Station in response to the
great number of inquiries regard
ing the hardy alfalfa which the
Colorado Agricultural Expert
ment Station has tested so
thoroughly that it is prepared to
recommend.
Dear Sir-Your letter relative
to alfalfa, received. Owing to a
large number of similar inquiries,
and the press of time, l am ans
wering with this mimeograph
form. ...
In our alfalfa test at the EX
pertinent Station there has been
Il marked contrast in the hard
less of the northern types of al
!alfa in comparison with the south
ern strains; the alfalfas from the
tropical countries have winter
killed almost entirely, even at
Rocky Ford, while there has been
comparatively no loss in the al
falra from the northern regions.
had its origin in the Spanish al
falfa that was introduced into
Mexico and South America, and
the loss of plants in our alfalfa
fields is undoubtedly due to this
cause.
Some of the German and Tur
kcstan strains are of the hardy
type, and among the best hay
producers, but the Turkestan al
falfa is a very poor seed yielder,
which is very serious fault in
alfalfa.
In northern Minnesota there is
a strain of alfalfa known as
Grimm s alfalfa, which has stood
the test for fifty years, and has
proved to be the hardest Of all,
in the northern states where the
tests have been made. In our
own state it has not only been
hardy, but a very good hay pro-
ducer of fine quality, and it is
also prolific seed y:eldcr as well /;
is also quite resistant to some of
the leaf spots AMI the bacterial
disease common to our ordinary
alfalfa.
The Colorado Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has developed
an improved strain of alfalfa by
systematic seed selection, bat it
has only an extremely limited
quantity of seed, and it is neces-
sary to use all this in expert
ments. SO great is the value of
the hardy alaflfa that it seems
desirable for immediate results, tc
introduce the commercial Grimm
alfalfa to improve the alfalfa
yields Of the state.
The Station hopes to determine
the best cultural methods for al
falfa seed production and to es-
tablish an alfalfa seed growing il
dustry to supply the growing need
for improved alfalfa seed.
With what funds that are avail
able, the Station has planned to
purchase some Grimm alfalfa
seed for experimental work. Some
of this seed will be furnished in
small lots of a few ounces, for
cooperative tests in different sec
tions of the state, and your name
will be placed on the list, and
other information will be sent on
later if desired.
The Experiment Station is not
buying and selling the seed, and
if anyone desires to purchase
the Grimm s alfalfa seed, we
would refer him to Mr.. A. b. Ly-
nan, Excelsior, Mimi, who has
several thousand pounds.
The Station will be glad to
learn of any such tests, and will
be pleased to assist with any in
formation and help that is posi-
BILE.
The growing of alfalfa in rows
for seed production promises very
encouraging results, and three
to four pounds of seed per acre
seem to be sufficient for such
seeding. Further information
will be furnished if desired.
